As above, estee double wear is a matte and full coverage foundation. Getting colour matched is tricky at the moment though isn't it.

I use mac studiofix fluid but it's too drying for me. Its one of the only foundations that cater for my weird skin colour and tone.

Urban decay all nighter is much fuller coverage than mac studiofix and is matte.

Maybe also try having a live chat with maca nd see what they suggest? 🙂

I am really pale, MAC couldn’t even colour match me. I use Estée Lauder double wear in 1c0 shell.
I find the findation site always suggests shades that are too dark as a lot of brands don’t cater to my ghostly hue.

If you use the findation site, buy through boots as they are allowing refunds and exchanges on all products due to covid restrictions prohibiting testers.

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!

Thats the trouble isn't it, you can try it and see at the moment.

I use a mixture of high end and drugstore make up.

I love Estee Lauder double wear when i want full coverage/ going out out.

But i love Maybeline urban dream cover foundation for every day use. Its beautiful.

I cant wear Double wear every day as i find it drying and matte, and it gives me the ick after a while tbh, but its what i use when im going anywhere special.

Nars is also a really lovely foundation.

But the best thing for me is i bought some Zoeva and Smith brushes and they completely changed everything about my make up- in a good way
:)

So I’ve been using Mac for a number of years, but they stopped doing my favourite foundation about 18 months ago and I haven’t been happy with what I went back to since (studio fix) I don’t feel like it looks as good as the water weight one (I think it was called)

Anyway I’m looking at changing foundation brands completely, I’ve heard good things about Charlotte Tilbury but was wondering what other people thought. I’ve still got a lot of Mac products to use so will only be changing foundation for the time being.

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 ☺
