Foundation like EL but not as heavy

[Hehx3]

Hi, I got myself into a good skin care routine (tretoin) and my skin is glowing. I love Estee L Double Wear for its coverage and the fact it stick to my face like a glue so I look half decent throughout a day but I find it quite heavy now and sort of dull. Is there something that would give full coverage and that durability but is more dewy and light. I feel like its a wishful thinking as usually those features exclude each other but there seem to be a glimmer of hope. Any recommendations lovely ladies please?

@whatthebejesus thats interesting! Will be on my list to Boots 😎 I will be real pain to all of them there 😌

I wore EL double wear for years but as i got older I found it too heavy and matt. I've recently started using It cosmetics - your skin but better CC cream. I'm impressed and had comments about how glowy my skin looks 😁

@Hehx3 it's IL Makiage. i was so embarrassed of my rosacea and was desperate for a quick fix.
It's covers without feeling heavy.
Beauty and The Boutique curate foundations as well,but IM is great IMHO.

I use half and half EL DW mixed with Clarins SOS Primer. The colourless one with factor 50. I stipple it with the end of a chunky makeup brush, heavier on the areas that need it and lighter on the areas that need less. Stays on well unless you rub at it and has a nice fresh look.

I mix my DW with Iconic London Glow and EL primer to give a softer look that lasts all day.

Lancome teint idole is longwear but quite light imo.

I love DW and have worn it for years. I use it very sparingly with a tiny amount of the Double Wear primer. I apply both with a brush with a stippling manner.

I have strayed from DW but always return. Nothing stays put quite like it. I often read on here that it is cakey but believe that's to do with what you have beneath it rather than DW itself.

I agree, also how it's apllied.
