Life after Estée Lauder DW!

So I probably wore double wear for about 10 years off and on. I am 45 and to be honest over the past few years, maybe it wasn't doing my skin any favours. Then it was reformulated and I just couldn't get on with the new formulation. Having tried an absolute ton of different foundations, skin tints and CC/BB creams etc etc - I've finally found my holy grail and I thought I'd share!

It's Westman Atelier foundation. It's pricey! But totally worth it.

Runners up:

Lisa Eldridge skin tint (but a lot less coverage)
Erborian BB cream (but limited shades, the lightest one still a bit dark for me)

For anyone who's interested I've got oily combination skin and I wear a really, really light sunscreen underneath the Westman foundation, I found anything else made my skin too greasy.

Hope this is helpful to someone!

I’m using the Eborian BB cream, but it really need a fixing spray or it rubs off on everything. I’m using a L’Oréal one. At 65 I wasn’t really loving DW any more.

Do you have a recommendation for a fixing spray! I like Erborian BB cream a lot but I’m sick of it rubbing off on my coat collar!

@FourSeasonsTotalLandscapingI’m using a L’Oreal setting spray which is reasonably priced and seems to do the job. It’s in a red can. There a Charlotte Tilbury one, but it’s a lot more expensive.

Was mortified meeting someone with a kiss kiss greeting and transferring the Eborian on to her collar. 😳
