I have just finished my first bottle of the double wear and liked it for the most part although it really aged me. I am 30, oily for the most part , genetic wrinkles , and need full coverage that will last all day! Any suggestions! My color was pure beige.

If you like the Double Wear, you may enjoy the Wet N Wild Photo Focus. I can't believe I'm even saying that because both are so vastly different in price, but it reminds me of the Double Wear. With such phenomenal coverage that's easily buildable and the extended wear time for the foundation, I'd give that a try. It truly does photograph beautifully; even with the flash.

You can always save the receipt and return it if you purchase it at CVS or one of the major store chains. Walmart has it; you can see the colors there. There is a "Bronze Beige", but there are other shades in that range to chose from. (The link defaults to Porcelain.)

It should work quite nicely for your skin type and needs. (You're adorable BTW...lol)

Both myself and my mum loves the Loreal True Match foundation... I'm 19 and my mum is 49 and it works well for both of us

I do like the Loreal true match but it doesn't perform longevity wise like the double wear does, at all. Maybe depending on the weather the Loreal true match could work if it's cooler, if it's coming into hotter weather I don't recommend it. I'm personally in the same boat, about half way through my first bottle of double wear and I do love it because it lasts like no other foundation I've tried does but would still like to know if there's something close, let me know if you find something! :) good luck!

I'd say MACs Pro longest nourishing waterproof foundation is long wearing, good coverage and photographs well like the double wear.

I feel the MAC one lasts longer though. The downside is you really have to stipple/pat it on in thin layers to let it dry down properly and build it up if needed then it'll last through anything. It even held up in a very hot, no AC car I was in on a summer day. There was a TAD bit of fading on my stache but that's cause I sweat a lot there but there wasn't fading near my hairline.

The coverage is good but I don't recommend it with a blending sponge. also, didn't like the NC35 shade cause it was too peachy/pink for me and NC30 was too light, for my skin-tone anyway.
It does photograph really well though.

Aurora, what brush do you use and what primer and setting powder do you use if you don't mind me asking.

Illyana, for that foundation I use my fingers and pat it in but overall I've been using the CoverFX liquid foundation brush.
As far as primer, it depends on the foundation I normally use the smashbox photo finish light which is water based but for powder foundation I like to use the MAC Matte.
As far as setting powder I've been using the Palladio rice powder the most
