For example the Estee Lauder Double Wear in shade Alabaster is lighter than anything MAC currently offers. Whichever brand you’re looking at trying out, I’ve created a conversion chart between Estee Lauder Double Wear and the MAC shades to help you find your perfect match.ĭisclaimer: Of course not all shades have an exact match. Estee Lauder Double Wear is my current daily choice of foundation, while MAC offers a huge range of foundations for different skin types and situations.

This has become my go to foundation for work but I need to purchase a pump soon.Estee Lauder and MAC are two of the best foundation brands available. I'm happy I got NC40 and even though it's slightly warmer for my skin tone, I can still make it work especially in summer. I just wish it came with a pump! Also, the shade range is good but the foundation does oxidize, so it can be a little tricky to find the right shade. I prefer applying it with beautyblender because it gives me a flawless, smooth application whereas the brush can easily make me look cakey.

I like how well it lasts throughout the day and doesn't make me look too oily. Overall, I think it's a good foundation especially if you oily/combination skin.

Photo outside with flash without the rest of face makeup (just foundation) Skin type: It's best suitable for people with oily/combination skin.However, I'd still recommend setting it if you have oily skin and you might need to touch up during the day depending on how oily your skin is. I have combination skin (oily t-zone) and I noticed I didn't get too oily with this foundation and didn't feel the need to touch up. Wear time: I tested it out for about 9 hours and it did fade away throughout the day but still looked good.I don't really like building it up too much though because it can easily end up looking cakey. However, the foundation applies beautifully especially with a beautyblender. Application: I wish it came with a pump because without it, it can be a bit messy.
