That's it, I'm divorcing EL Doublewear!

I bloody give up

I LOVE this stuff but cannot for the life of me get properly shade matched.

I am a bit lighter than Mac NW20,so fair skinned with rosy undertones.

If I use Fresco in DW it's good but slight too dark so I just need to go slightly lighter.

I have tried Pale Almond, Dawn ( because I read you should NEVER use a cool toned foundation as it will look hideous ) and yesterday got matched with Cool Beige but it STILL doesn't look right.

I tried a Clinique foundation in Alabaster which was the most perfect colour ever ,think it was Even Better Foundation but it doesn't last more than a couple of hours. What's the best Clinique foundation,anyone know?

Dear God,it can't be this hard to find a foundation,surely?

If I mix Bourjois Healthy Mix with Fresco I get a better colour.

Sigh....

What other foundations are as good coverage as Double Wear please?

It looks like 2CO Cool Vanilla is my colour,the sample looks great. I'll wear it for the next few days to check and if it's still ok I'll get myself a bottle.

Hallelujah

That's my shade! It's not too pink and not too yellow. It's a nice creamy colour.

That's exactly what it is. Looks so yellow and then you put it on and it's perfect 😊

I have very pale skin, mixed with redness on cheeks and nose (rosacea) and always find it difficult to find suitable covering foundation. I have tried Double Wear - Fresco too dark, Shell too light! I'd not thought of mixing them together!

I use Clinique Even Better in Alabaster which I find lasts well and Clarins Skin Illusion in Ivory, which also covers well.

Whatever I use, I find oiliness breaks through after 2-3 hours and somehow seems to make the pores on my poor nose look even bigger. So frustrating.

I'm quite pale, with pink undertones and freckles, I go slightly beige with a tan but not a hint of orange. It's funny because I wore my DW today after a long time of not using it. I used a damp sponge and it looks quite nice.
