Thinking of moving from liquid double wear light foundation to her products (balance and brighten being the main one i'm interested in)

Internet reviews say its good but focus on how good it is to apply. I need my makeup to have good coverage but last 12hours plus. And have oily skin and shine through most foundations.
What do people think of it?

I personally recommend MAC. Sorry I know it's not the question you asked, but I have really problematic skin, and found that MAC is the only brand where the foundation actually justified the cost.

I went for one of the matte liquid foundations and it is incredible. Firstly I have incredibly pale skin, and it's the only foundation that neither looked like chalk, nor had weird orange undertones.

Secondly, you need so little of it it's amazing. The matte texture is great because it sort of "soaks up" oil (I have oily skin too), and the coverage is second to none.

It is however one of those foundations that you absolutely cannot just plaster on otherwise it looks like a mask. It's best not to wear powder with it as well otherwise it looks too heavy.

Thanks, I'll look into it

kaykayblue- did you go for the Pro Longwear by MAC, or another? I use their Prep and Prime SPF 50 and it is amazing, so wondering whether to go for a foundation as well. JokersGiggle- Laura Gellar is ok, but if you are oily, you are going to have to wear a mattifying powder over the top (which sort of defeats the object of having a powder foundation, I think). The plus side of the Laura Gellar, is that you can put it over slightly tacky moisturised skin, without it going all cakey and patchy.

I am just about to return 2 lots of LG products, one being B&B to QVC. Too powdery for me. Didn't really last.

The fact it's sold on qvc really puts me off tbh, all that talking it up etc...

I would try, Revlon colour stay, bare minerals or lily lolo.

It's nice but definitely nowhere near the coverage of double wear.

Try it - the benefit of qvc is you can use it for 30 days and still return it if you don't like it.

I love QVC because of the yakking. Yes they do go a tad overboard and there's a couple of the presenters who boil my piss, but I'd rather watch a 7 minutes presentation a couple of times than run the gauntlett of the beauty counters where they try to get me in a full face make-up.

I have the Balance and Brighten, but I don't wear base unless I'm going out 'made up'.
I've got a Soap&Glory CC cream which I prefer.
And a Bare Minerals which is nice.

But YY the 30 day.

(I don't like LG mascara but I have a lovely blusher, her baked eyeshadows are nice too, eyeliner pencil is lovely)

70- I just bought the S & G CC cream this morning, as part of the 3 for 2 at Boots. It is gorgeous. It was a impulse 3rd item purchase as well. I love finding little gems like that!
