My Review Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation Review
Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation Review

I absolutely love this foundation because it’s super versatile and just so reliable. When I want a base will last all day and not budge even a little bit, it just has to be Double Wear.

The key to achieving a really natural skin finish it to use just one pump and buff it all over the skin. It covers and perfects the skin so quickly and it takes just a few seconds to achieve a really flawless finish.

The formula is hydrating, softly matte yet nicely luminous, and you can always trust Double Wear to last and last.

You can tailor the finish depending on what you use under it. I love this straight over Advanced Night Repair for a slightly more matte finish, and if I want a bit more glow, it is beautiful over the Revitalizing Supreme Cream. You will get both these products in the Estee Lauder Summer Beauty Heroes Collection.

It is super comfortable on the skin and because you only need a small amount it’s virtually weightless. The thinnest layer delivers a beautifully perfected and natural looking flawlessness.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation Hack

Top tip: if you want something a little sheerer with amped up glow, try mixing some Advanced Night Repair Serum in to your shade before applying. This adds a boost of hydration and radiance without affecting the foundation’s staying power. You get the Advanced Night Repair Serum in the Estee Lauder Summer Beauty Heroes Collection (worth £103) available for £25 when you buy the foundation, so this is the perfect time to try this hack.

Kosas Cloud Set Mist Review

I have really been enjoying all the recent launches from Kosas so I was very happy to try out their brand new mist. Here’s the lowdown on the Kosas Cloud Set Mist.

What is Kosas Cloud Set Mist?

How to use it

You use this as you would any setting mist. Be sure to shake well before use, and after you have finished applying your makeup, hold 8-10 inches from face and mist over entire face. Kosas suggest no more than 3 times, as a little goes a long way.

You can reapply throughout the day, as desired.

My Review

My Review of Kosas Cloud Set Mist
My Review of Kosas Cloud Set Mist

The Kosas Cloud Set Mist is a setting spray that’s been getting its fair share of attention lately. I’ve been testing it out and I think it’s really good. What I most like is that it’s not one of those typical makeup-locking, ultra-mattifying formula. And that, I think, is part of its quiet charm.

First Impressions

First things first, the packaging is beautifully minimal. The mister is wonderfully fine, with a smooth, even spray that settles on the skin. There are no heavy droplets and no sudden spritzes. Cloud is a good way to describe the delivery of this mist. You get the kind of application that makes you feel like you’re treating your skin rather than attacking it.

How it looks

Kosas Cloud Set Mist skin finish
Kosas Cloud Set Mist skin finish

Now, the effect. This isn’t a mist that transforms your makeup and honestly, I appreciate that. It doesn’t mattify. It doesn’t add a glass-skin sheen. It doesn’t blur or change the texture you’ve so carefully built. What it does do is take the edge off powder, bring a little life back into the skin, and make everything feel more cohesive and comfortable. If you’ve taken the time to get your base looking just how you like it, Kosas Cloud Set Mist won’t interfere. It lets your finish shine through.

Skincare benefits

There’s also a genuinely refreshing quality to it, thanks to the inclusion of lots of skincare ingredients. I think this helps to lightly hydrate the skin. Also, it’s important to note that, unlike most setting sprays, it is alcohol free, which will be great if you have sensitive skin.

How does it perform?

It melds everything together. It’s great at removing that telltale powdery edge. It adds a little something back into the skin, a lived-in softness, without messing with the overall finish.

I think it does really help to lock my makeup in place, although I tend to opt for more longwearing formulas anyway, so it’s hard to measure exactly how effective it is.

What I like is that it leaves your makeup exactly as you intended it. If you’ve spent time perfecting a soft matte base, carefully buffed in your bronzer, and placed your highlight just so, you don’t want a mist that suddenly turns you into a disco ball. Nor do you want something that drags your foundation toward flat, cakey territory. Cloud Set doesn’t do either. I think it enhances by not interfering.

Final Thoughts

If what you want is a mist that keeps your makeup feeling fresh without changing the look you’ve worked hard to achieve, Kosas Cloud Set Mist hits the mark

I find it especially good later on in the day when my skin’s feeling a little fatigued or when I want to tone down a slightly too matte situation that sometimes happens after powdering. It gives your face a reset without undoing your work.

2 years in the making with over 50 rounds of formulation, MERIT’s first-ever SPF and second-ever complexion product is here! I have everything you need to know about MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50. Enjoy!

What is MERIT The Uniform?

Key Ingredients

MERIT The Uniform formula uses an ultra-fine zinc oxide that allows for uniform protection against both UVA and UVB rays, and this also ensure that the product feels very lightweight on the skin.

There’s also a plant-derived emollient that is a natural alternative to silicone that helps give the formula a really pleasant silky, velvety texture with zero stickiness. and ensures no sticky feeling on the skin.

Finally, there’s also a plant-based mineral SPF booster in a powder format that promises to help to soften skin, and also ensure the zinc oxide diffuses evenly throughout the product to deliver a soft, blurred look on the skin.

Pigment Dispersion Technology

MERIT have pushed boundaries with this formula with a standout innovation in technology which optimises how zinc oxide and titanium dioxide blend within the formula.

The technology means that a lower mix of titanium dioxide (which is usually responsible for the white cast) can be used which allows for greater shade flexibility.

MERIT The Uniform Shades & Swatches

There are 15 shades in the collection that promise to cater for a wide range of skintones.

Do the MERIT Uniform shades correlate with The Minimalist shades?

The shades correlate to The Minimalist shades shown below:

2 – Umber (Bistre Minimalist) – Rich Cool
4 – Sepia (Cacao Minimalist) – Rich Warm
6 – Tiger Eye (Taurillon Minimalist) – Deep-rich Neutral-Warm)
8 – Chestnut – Deep Cool
10 – Amber (Sienna Minimalist) – Deep Neutral-Warm
12 – Buff (Calico Minimalist) – Medium-deep Warm
14 – Burlwood – Medium-deep Neutral
16 – Suede (Jute Minimalist) – Medium Cool
18 – Camel (Khaki Minimalist) – Medium Warm
20 – Palomino (Sand Minimalist) – Light-Medium Neutral-Cool

26 – Dune, (Sandstone Minimalist) – Fair-Light Neutral-Cool
28 – Silk (Chiffon, Cream, Linen Minimalist) – Fair Neutral-Warm
30 – Ceramic (Bone Minimalist) – Fair Cool

I think this guide is fairly flexible. For example, I am using 24 in The Uniform, and my favourite shade of The Minimalist is Linen.

My Review of MERIT

My Review of MERIT The Uniform
My Review of MERIT The Uniform

I was super excited to test out The Uniform, because I absolutely love the MERIT brand and The Minimalist* is such an easy to use complexion product that I often chuck in my bag if I am in a rush and need to do my makeup on the go.

The Uniform promises to layer easily over moisturiser and under foundation, so I had high hopes.

First Impressions

MERIT The Uniform packaging
MERIT The Uniform packaging

The packaging is really nice, as you would expect from a super chic brand like MERIT. It’s a squeezy tube with an elegant pump which makes dispensing the product really easy. It’s quite a big tube – and it contains 50ml of product which is great – but it might be slightly chunky for your makeup bag. It looks great though.

MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50
MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50

Texture and Application

MERIT The Uniform has a lovely silky and smooth texture. It is liquidy but not overly runny and it feels very creamy on the skin. I really like it. It has a lightweight feel on the skin that’s super comfortable, and it’s easy to apply and blend. I have been using  REESON No. 1 Brush which works very well to place and buff the product into the skin.

I tend to start with a light layer and then add another to ensure I am getting adequate sun protection from the SPF 50 mineral sunscreen. I have been testing it alone, and also with the Minimalist on top when I want more coverage and I like it both ways.

Application Video

Finish and Coverage

The finish is a natural skin finish and it sits nicely in between matte and glowy. It looks skin-like yet subtly perfects and blurs flaws. If you like no makeup makeup, you will really enjoy this.

The coverage is light and buildable. You can still see skin through it, but it gives a very enhanced and perfected look to the skin without looking like you have any makeup on. I haven’t felt the need to powder it as it doesn’t get overly shiny.

Wear Test

I have tested this over a few days and I have been impressed by the way it wears. Although it’s a light formula, it lasts very well on the skin, and doesn’t slip and slide off in any way. The staying power is really good and it adheres to the skin well. If you are relying on this alone for sun protection, and need to ensure you are protected, you will need to top up every couple of hours. It’s probably easier to use an over makeup SPF mist for this, and I have been loving the Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist Sunscreen SPF 50.

Final Thoughts

I am really impressed with MERIT The Uniform and feel it performs very well as a tinted SPF product. If you like light coverage, it works brilliantly alone, as it’s nice and buildable, and it also layers very nicely under foundation if you need more coverage.

It looks and feels great on the skin, and considering that it’s a high protection suncare product, it’s super lightweight and really easy to wear.

The other thing to note is that I think it’s really good value for money, which I have to say I wasn’t expecting. It is £34 for 50ml which is excellent considering that most foundation type products come in 30ml bottles. I think this is a thoughtful nod to the fact that the correct dose is critical to achieving the level of sun protection that a product is designed to deliver, and you should be using a fairly generous amount of product if you are relying on it for your sun protection.

All in all I love it. If you want to check out a similar product that has recently launched (with more skincare, a smaller bottle, and a higher price tag) take a look at Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint Review & Swatches.

When does MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50 launch?

Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint Review & Swatches

This is an exciting new skincare-sunscreen-makeup hybrid and I have been testing it out. Here’s the lowdown on the brand new Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint. I have swatches of all the shades.

Before and After Photos

Shade 2 is the best match to my natural skin tone, and this is the one I choose when I am going to wear full makeup.

If I am just going to wear the foundation tint on its own with no bronzer or blush etc., I use shade 2.5 as it warms up my complexion and matches more to my fake tan on my body. You can see both shades applied below.

Shade 2.5 (set with powder)

How to use it

You can use this as the final step in your skincare routine. You need to shake it well before use, and if you’re using it as your sole sunscreen product, be sure to use a full quarter teaspoon (3 fingers) dose.

If you’re using this more as makeup over a dedicated sunscreen, you can use as much as you like.

You can apply it with fingers or a brush (I use my REESON No. 1 Brush) and it can be layered up to achieve the coverage you want.

Naked Sundays recommend you allow the SPF foundation tint 2-3 minutes to fully absorb before continuing with the rest of your makeup.

My Review

My Review of Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint
My Review of Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint

I am always very excited to try out new complexion products, especially when they have really good sun protection in them. I consider using a high protection factor product daily to be the first step in anti-ageing, so it’s a non-negotiable for me.

I have tried a couple of products from Naked Sundays before, and liked them a lot – read Naked Sundays Review UK – Face & Body Mist, Mineral Sunscreen & Sun Serum – but with the first glance at this newness, I had even higher hopes.

BeautyScreen promises to be super lightweight and easy to blend, which are things I always look for in a complexion product.

First Impressions

The packaging is really nice. It’s a squeezy tube with a thin nozzle that you squeeze the product out of. It is neat and easy. The tube is nice and compact and so it fits nicely into my makeup bag which is great for top ups on the go.

Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint packaging

Texture and Application

The texture of the Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 is really nice. It is thin and liquidy and spreads over the skin effortlessly. It feels super lightweight on the skin yet is really hydrating and comfortable. In terms of texture, it’s a win for me.

Finish and Coverage

The finish is also really nice. It gives the skin a lovely glow, and I’d say that it leans over to the dewy side without being overly shiny or greasy-looking. I think if you have oily skin, you may want to use a bit of powder. I have tried it with the KOSAS Cloud Set Loose Powder on the T-zone and the 2 products together work really well.

The coverage is really good and I’d say it’s a light to medium buildable coverage product, that layers easily to achieve the coverage you want. It’s great for covering redness and evening out skin tone, and you can build it up nicely without it going cakey.

It gives skin a really natural looking finish and coverage, so your skin looks like skin, just more even and perfected.

Wear Test

I set it with a small amount of powder and it wore really well. It didn’t break up or fade too quickly. I’d say it lasts a good 5 to 6 hours without any obvious signs of wear.

Obviously, it you want maintain the SPF50 protection, then you will need to top up every two hours and it is pretty easy to top up. It layers over existing makeup fairly effortlessly and I just needed to add a bit more of my REESON Bronzing Balm over the top once it has sunk in.

Alternatively, you could use an over makeup spray for top ups. Naked Sundays do one (Naked Sundays SPF50+ Hydrating Glow Mist*) and I am obsessed with the new Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist Sunscreen SPF 50it just came back in stock, so check it out. The Garnier Over Makeup SPF50 Spray* is a good affordable alternative.

Final Thoughts

I think the Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint is an absolutely excellent product and it’s a real step forward in hybrid beauty with its mix of high sun protection, anti-ageing skincare ingredients and complexion perfecting makeup. Honestly, it’s brilliant and ticks all the boxes for me.

One thing to note is that if you want to rely on this as your only SPF product, you will need to ensure that you use the right dose to achieve the SPF product and also make sure you top up 2 hourly. As I said, I love the Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist Sunscreen SPF 50 for this.

Alternatively, you can use it as a skincare infused foundation product, over your dedicated SPF product (I am also loving Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF 50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen) and have the extra piece of mind with that extra layer of SPF.

I actually think this is a great way to use products like these because I don’t think many of us use SPF over the eye area properly. With foundation, we tend to always cover that area, so products like these offer the protection that we don’t always allow ourselves.

Where to buy it

Naked Sundays BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint is £38 for 30ml and available now via the link below. It is set to launch at Sephora UK soon. Sign

My Review of Sweed Glass Skin Foundation

My Review of Sweed Glass Skin Foundation
My Review of Sweed Glass Skin Foundation

I have been testing out this foundation for a few days and I have to say, I like it a lot.

Packaging

The packaging is really nice. It’s a minimal and sleek plastic bottle that fits easily into your makeup bag. You simply squeeze out the product and it’s neat and mess-free.

Shades

There are 15 shades in the range which I have listed above. They are arranged across undertones which is always helpful and there’s a mix of warm, cool, and neutral. I’m usually a light neutral and I found my perfect match in shade 5, which blended seamlessly into my skin.

Application & Finish

I have been using a brush to apply this, as I do with all my foundations, and my favourite brush, my REESON No. 1* is perfect for it. It works especially well for this as it has a small end for concealing, and the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation can also be used like a concealer.

This formula blends effortlessly into the skin and it delivers a dewy but not oily finish. It give a flawless and healthy look to the skin, without the appearance of obvious makeup.

See the first time I applied the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation in the video below:

Coverage

This is a medium buildable formula and I find that a little goes quite a long way and can very quickly even out the skin, cover redness and blur out imperfections. You can build up coverage really easily by adding a light layer so it actually doubles really nicely as a concealer.

Wear Test

On my combination skin, this wore beautifully throughout the day. I got a good 8 hours of glowy wear, with no clinging or patchiness.

Dry skins will love this, and if you are oily, you might want to set it with a bit of powder.

Final Thoughts

I’m impressed with the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation and it pretty much gives me everything I want from a dewy base. There’s glow, comfort, hydration, and you just get that that effortless your-skin-but-better look.

If you love radiant, lightweight, skincare-infused foundations, I think you could love this.

If you are looking to try any other Sweed products, I also love their Lash Serum. For more info on that, read Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum Review.
