Changing make-up brands

[Rocknrolla]

I cheated on double wear with Charlotte Tilbury and honestly I don’t get they hype.

There’s soooo much choice out there it’s insane, I never stick to just one brand lol. It depends what sort of make up you like - do you like a full coverage, medium, light? Matte, dewy? Also depends on your skin type. I can probably recommend a lot of products if I know what you’re looking for

I usually go for a matte finish and like full coverage! My skin is pretty good to be fair not oily or dry just want something that will sit on my face a lot nicer than what I’m currently using.

So frustrating as I’d usually go to town and speak to someone but thank you all for your help

I use NW20 in MAC if that helps at all

The website https://findation.com/ will tell you matching shades in other brands to your current MAC one! :')

I have no experience with Charlotte Tilbury but if you're looking for any, my personal rec would be NARS. I use their Sheer Glow foundation and its my absolute favourite.

another double wear vote here! Have tried other cheaper brands but nothing compares, I have quite oily skin so find they just leave me looking like an oil slick after a while. I tried some testers of Chanel once after my friend raved about it but just didn't rate it as much as Estée Lauder so stuck with what I know and like.

Estée Lauder Double Wear over here It’s very lightweight for a full coverage foundation and it stays in place without setting to your skin like cement. I changed to EL from MAC years ago and the MAC stuff is like polyfilla in comparison. I’ve never looked back.

The ones I use on rotation are MAC face & body, Estée Lauder double wear, Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue and Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk

I used to love Bourjois foundation but they’ve stopped selling in the UK. Revlon Colourstay is meant to be good, as is L’Oreal True Match.

I use Natio BB cream, with Natio primer applied underneath - the coverage of the two is excellent, like a light foundation. Excellent price point too.

When I used to wear foundation, I loved Estee Lauder's double wear. I'm sure it must have contained something my skin loved, as it looked really healthy. As I've aged I've gone off foundation though (I find it too heavy).

I’ve used boots no quibble returns policy recently for foundation...I hope they keep it, testers grossed me out even before covid

If you like matte and full coverage my go to’s would be Fenty pro filter, Charlotte Tilbury airbrush (insane coverage and really beautiful) and Estée Lauder double wear. For a cheaper price I would also highly recommend revlon candid foundation - it’s fantastic x

I use No7 matte full coverage foundation.

The fenty foundations are really great, I used to wear it daily and it was the only foundation I ever used that stayed in place from morning to night.

I love double wear, using it cosmetics cc cream and I do like it but prefer double wear. Just used their matching tool, I was using 3N1 but been matched to 3W1, I never think my skin is very warm more yellow but maybe it is. Mac is a disaster for me, the lady on the their counter told me to go to Estée Lauder

Can anyone recommend a decent bb cream?

Natio! It's amazing. Use it with their illuminating primer and you'll get a lot of compliments about how healthy your skin looks.

I love and use exclusively CT for everything except foundation I find CT foundation oxidises really quickly, I have the lighter one she does and I also bought the thickest one too but I don’t like either of them. So another vote for Double Wear from me!

 

[Millyve]

Thank you all for recommendations! Def swayed towards Estee Lauder double wear! But I’m gonna hold out a week and get colour matched properly! Can’t go risking being the wrong shade on pricy makeup!

I was matched the same colour in MAC but didn’t get on with the formula of it. Felt too oily for me. So I went back to my OG Estée Lauder double wear and I wear 2N1 desert beige. I’m yet to find anything that I like more. Maybelline do an ok foundation ‘fit me’ which is okay if I want a quick bit of coverage or don’t want to waste my double wear. But no other drug store foundation has worked for me and I’ve tried lots.

I like Double Wear though only for nights out as i find it quite heavy.
Nars SheerGlow is amazing so that gets my vote!
