If there is something that I haven't yet found my 'HOLY GRAIL' of in makeup land it would be a foundation. In my quest to find the best one for me I have recently tried the Designer Brand's Longwear foundation. I have seen youtuber's rave about it online but could this $17 foundation really be as good as a MAC one?
Designer Brand's 24 Hour Foundation makes big promises. 84% of user's claim that it doesn't cake or go flakey or heavy and is full coverage. It contain's Vitamin C, E, Aloe Vera extract and has an SPF of 15. I have heard talks that it is a great dupe for Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation.
So I have been trying this out in the shade Ivory. It's my standard shade as I am preeeety pasty. It was a great colour match for me!
My first impression is that the bottle looked pretty good. The packaging is plain and simple, yet effective. It comes with a pump which is great for not wasting product.
I have applied this foundation with a Real Techniques brush and a little goes along way. It most definitely is full coverage. It blends out nicely into the jaw bone and doesn't go streaky around the nose.

| To give you an idea of coverage, foundation is applied over top of a red lipstick swatch. One pump of product was used and blended out. |
I have worn this with both a setting spray over top and a powder to set it. I would recommend using a setting spray as it keeps the foundation light and fresh. Sometimes the powder can turn it a little orange and heavy.
I thoroughly enjoy this foundation and it is my every day go to. It doesn't become oily throughout the day and would recommend this to anyone who wants a decent full coverage foundation.
You can either buy this foundation direct off their website or through pharmacies nation wide.
Have you used a product from designer brands before? Were you impressed?
Lipstick and love!
