Comparable foundations to Estée Lauder?

Hey guys!

I've recently found that the Estée Lauder double wear is my holy grail- my only problem is that I want something luminous or dewy... Are there ANY foundations similar to this in terms of coverage and staying power - with a dewy finish?

You could mix some MAC Strobe Cream or a similar product with the Double Wear to give it a dewy finish. You could also just use the strobe cream all over your skin before applying your foundation or use an illuminating primer to give yourself a lit from within kind of glow (:

If it's full coverage you'd have to add products on top to give it a dewy look (cream blush, highlight, and a nice spritz of a dewy setting spray) you can also add a drop or two of oil and see if you like that finish.. I personally add a drop of jojoba to mine when I want it more dewy.

I agree on either adding an Illuminator to your foundation or applying an Illuminating product under your foundation. Typical dewy foundations are not going to be as long lasting as natural or matte finishes.

Estée Lauder double wear is my holy grail too and I have yet to find a dewy foundation with the same lasting power. To make double wear dewy, I like to mix it with Becca shimmering skin perfector. The closest long lasting, luminous, full coverage foundation that I found is the shu uemura lightbulb foundation.

I agree with Kitty I add jojoba oil to mine and use a dewy spray and then a liquid luminizer on the tops of my cheeks

Yeah, adding a little bit of oil or an illuminator will give you that look but too much oil may cause the product to... Not last as long but the downside of an illuminator is it's quite shimmer an. You need to find a good ones that has very fine shimmer in it.

If you want to use oil, I prefer coconut oil cause it gives that dewy look but doesn't feel heavy or greasy on me personally.

As far as an illuminator, I quite like the benefit "high beam" which is great and you can just add some and mix with your foundation

Check out cover fx's radiance drops, it has great skin benefits, only takes a drop in your foundation. It gives your skin an incredible glow that isn't artificial looking and it isn't shimmer particles.
