I find it extremely difficult to experiment with skincare and make-up as I have such sensitive skin, I'm like a new born baby! I end up giving all of my make up away!
I spend hundreds a month, It's quite frustrating when you are excited to try something new and exciting, but it does not agree with your skin.
Giorgio Armani luminous silk foundation -
My evaluation - This Foundation was fantastic!
It was great coverage, long lasting and easy to apply.
HOWEVER - I WOULD NOT ADVISE THIS FOUNDATION FOR PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN! It did not agree with my skin, so I gave it to my mum as usual! Her skin is so perfect and she can use anything!!

AMAZING! BUT DOES NOT LAST!
My Evaluation -
This is most certainly the best foundation I have ever used! I was deeply impressed.
It glided on slightly runny, but was just fantastic. There are so many shades for each skin tone.
A few days before trying this foundation I had tried Mac make-up again which I shouldn't have as it caused imperfections. Weirdly this 'Lancome' foundation cleared up my skin completely! My skin was fully clear after using this product for 2 days. It is clearly amazing.
However, considering the fact that this foundation states that it lasts up to 24 hrs it
DID NOT LAST VERY LONG! More like.. 5 hours unfortunately, so I had to give that one away!

My evaluation - It is a pleasant, rather smooth and soft foundation. My Mother uses this at times and she absolutely adores this foundation! I am more in love with the Teint Idole Ultra (above).

Mac mineralize SatinFinish foundation.
My evaluation - I was not too impressed. It did not cause any imperfections on my skin however, it did not last long. It just worked like a CHEAP make-up foundation.

Estee Lauder Double wear light foundation
GREAT ON SENSITIVE SKIN
My Evaluation - I have used this in the past for about 5 years.. so what more could I possibly say!
It is a great foundation, light but great coverage and lasts all day whilst still appearing fresh.
I might come back to using this one day in the future, but for now i'm still looking for something perfect that tops Lancome.

Goes on sheer, leaves skin free to breathe all day Controls oil, resists smudging and won t melt off through heat and humidity.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.
My evaluation - I have not experienced a bad reaction from this foundation. However, a friend of mine had regrets of using this as she claimed it had disagreed with her skin..
I am currently using this at the moment. Until I discover a long lasting foundation that tops this.
This foundation is delightful. It lasts all day, easy to apply.
I am not amazed by this product, as I am so used to the Double wear light foundation.
This foundation is more for heavy coverage. It is still a very good product
Info - Keeps skin looking fabulous, breathing comfortably through heat, humidity and activity without changing colour, fading or coming off on clothes. Natural matte finish and SPF10 sunscreen to protect skin.
Found you while searching for an alternative to double wear light. I have super sensitive skin too and have worn it for years but I think they changed the formula? It seems...I'm not sure...just different.
ReplyDeleteI used to wear Innoxa foundation all the time, years back, and it was (probably still is) THE best foundation for sensitive skin. Stopped wearing it when they changed the formula (story of my life?) but might give it another go now.
Anyway, thanks for a few new idea's of what to try out :)
BTW - You have such great taste and a very pretty blog so new follower here :)
