What is a good long lasting foundation?

[Tinks15]

I know it’s probably been done to death (sorry) but what’s a good long lasting buildable foundation? I think I need to change my foundation as I’m not sure Estée Lauder dw agrees with me anymore.

I don’t have great skin anyway, large pores in areas, a few scars & blemishes so I need the foundation to have quite a good coverage.

Have you tried Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions BB Cream? I was a die hard DW user but I'm getting older now and it was starting to look a bit heavy? The Clinique BB Cream isn't really a cream, it's a very watery liquid with quite a high coverage and good staying power but much more natural finish than DW.
I've just ordered the Beauty Pie serum foundation to try. I didn't love the Great Skin one - found it a bit heavy and matt, more so than DW if I'm honest.

Have you tried Estee Lauder's new foundation - Futurist Hydra Rescue? I was having the same problem as you with DW. This new one is really dewy and gives good all day coverage without being remotely mask like. I've only got a sample of it but will def buy a full size one. When I'm not wearing that one I mix my DW with Clinique Even Better Refresh. That might be another one to try. The colour I got is too light for me but the coverage isn't too bad. Problem is you can't walk into Boots or anywhere and pick up a sample!

Does the new EL one last as well as DW?? I keep coming back to DW because nothing lasts like it!

I've ordered the Fenty one and it's on the way so I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives!

Decent primer and Fenty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Foundation.

Absolutely love the stuff, it won me over away from EL and Mac.

Plus I have super pale skin and it's one of the only ranges that has a diverse enough range of tones (40 I think) that one actually matches me perfectly.

That’s the problem now you can’t get any samples 😩 thanks though @Anjelika will look at those.

Will look at Fenty too.

@Ellapaella my problem too I can never find anything that lasts as long as DW I stick with it even though it’s not agreeing with me anymore, I need to find something else now though as my skin isn’t good at the moment.

@emsyj37 it does last pretty well but, like with any foundation, I would want to try a sample first! Not sure if you can get one from their website as it's not possible to go into a store. They seem to have the same colours as DW although I have gone for Wheat in the new one and I normally have Ivory Beige in DW.

I keep looking at the ordinary serum one but haven’t ordered yet

@Ellapaella where did you get a coloured match for Fenty? I don’t have anywhere near me that does it I don’t think.

@GemmeFatale I haven’t seen this one will look now.

I used this website https://findation.com

Don't laugh but the mousse one from Wilko Essence range is the best one I have had in years

Mac studio fix is the best (for me) foundation I have used in years

Smashbox....it's so good and a bottle lasts me for ages and I use it everyday (even through lockdown hehe)

Fenty is the best foundation in the world, bar none!

Lancôme teint idole

Thanks I’ve just used the findation site to look what shade I would be matched too, how accurate is this? Makes me slightly nervous that if I was to order the shade but then doesn’t match me?
I don’t know what to do 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Tinks15 I've always found it to be spot on.

But it's a lot to spend if you're not sure. Yes think my Fenty foundation is coming today and I used findation to colour match so I'll come back and let you know what I think.

Sorry for typos, my autocorrect seems to change words as I'm sending the post!

There's a brilliant long lasting no7 foundation. I can't remember the name unfortunately but when lockdown is over I'd recommend going into Boots and having a chat with one of the no 7 consultants. I used it for my wedding and loved it so mich that I kept on using it. I've moved on to one of their lighter foundations now though due to my wrinkles!

'So much'

@Ellapaella yes please let me know your thoughts!

@Squeakyclean - forget about no7 thank you.

@Squeakycheese oops said the wrong person above.

@Tinks15 it's here and the colour match is spot on. It's a lovely foundation but it's quite matted so I would say better for Normal, combination or oily skin. It gives a lovely cover, definitely comparable to double wear.
