The choice these days can be pretty overwhelming and there are so many options for different skin types that it made my head hurt!
I have pretty combination skin and I find it's quite textured and my pores are pretty visible most of the time, this makes choosing a foundation difficult as although it can look great when the assistant pits it on at the counter, two hours later it's melted off my face and into the floor. Obviously at this point people are screaming PRIMER PRIMERRRR but I have already
Gone down this road to no avail.
My shiny Tzone is the bane of my life, so far I havn't found anything that will keep it matte all day but I also in the grand scheme of things havn't even really scratched the surface.
My sister is quite a high end makeup fan and being my sister we have pretty much the same skin type, she suggested I try the Estée Lauder double wear light as it is apparently great for combo-oily skin types.
I am the kind of person who hates the look of foundation on the skin. I'd rather my skin really did look like skin than a cakey mess and I find with most foundations they are just far too heavy for me and sink into my pores making them even more noticeable, the Estée Lauder double wear light comes somewhere in the middle. I don't use a brush for applying foundation as I find it just exaggerated the textures of my skin so instead I just pat it in with my fingers. Although I do like this foundation and it was pretty long wearing I still found my nose a shining beacon of light after a couple of hours and had to powder and blot as normal.the coverage was pretty average and to be honest I wouldn't rate this foundation above the drugstore ones I was using previously
