Hello! I need some help! I am looking for a very specific foundation :)) I want one that is medium to full coverage but is lightweight and doesn't look like plastic so I can maybe wear it during the day as well; Also I would like if it didn't make my fine lines extremely visible and if it doesn't cause flashback... I wanted to try Estee Lauder Double Wear but I have heard that the flashback is awful... I also want to try Nars All day luminous weightless foundation but the Sephora in my country doesn't carry Nars so I have to wait until my trip to Italy :))

Some info: I have combination skin(normal all over and oily in the T-zone; my skin is pale when I am not tan and my undertone is yellow.

The foundation can be highend as I most of the times never find the right shade in drugstore foundations.
Thank you!

I have ever had problems with flashback with the Estée Lauder double wear. I personally think it's great especially if you have an oily t-zone

Naked skin foundation s great for combination skin. as I have that. it looks very natural and it's about light to medium coverage but also very build able and it doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation and it comes in a lot of shades. I want to say 24 but I'm not positive. it is the only foundation I have tried that works for me. I'm not sure about flash back

I have not tried the EL double wear but I do fancy Urban Decay's naked skin foundation. It has a very pretty finish and great coverage. I would go into a Sephora and ask for samples of the foundations you want to try before purchasing!

I've never experienced flashback with the Estée Lauder Double Wear, it's perfect for flash photography. Personally I found that the NARS All Day Luminous looks like makeup and exaggerates texture on the skin.

El double wear is a very good foundation how ever it's very noticble on the skin have you looked into a full coverage bb or cc it will cover without settling into lines and giving that fake look my favorite is it cosmetics cc cream it's amazing and can be set with a powder if your wanting a matte finish.

Too Faced Born This Way. In my opinion it has a great variety of skin tones and works great for my combination skin. I had a pinkish yellowish undertone that is also kind of warm and I get pale too. I suggest it to you! And there is no flashback.

I can't stand Nars All Day Luminous, couldn't make it work no matter how I prepped or applied. It sat on my skin, emphasized every pore (and that's not even a problem I typically have).
Love UD Naked foundation but it's not full coverage, although it's build-able, gorgeous finish. I agree with Too Faced Born This Way. It's full coverage yet feels light on the skin and has a beautiful finish.
