Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Foundation

I made my way over to Macy's yesterday to get matched for the highly rated Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. She seemed to know exactly which foundation color would match my skin tone but I guess it's her job to know. As she applied the foundation to my skin she noticed that my skin was smooth and blemish free. She then proceeded to ask me why I needed the foundation and suggested that I use the BB cream but I rejected that idea because I really wanted the foundation. One thing to take note about this foundation is that it comes in 30 shades. I nearly fell out of the chair when the beauty consultant told me that. The foundation claims are as stated
15-hour staying power for a flawless finish all day. The worry-free, long-wearing makeup stays fresh and looks natural through heat, humidity and nonstop activity. Won't change color, smudge or come off on clothes. Feels lightweight and comfortable. Now the flawless look you see in the morning is the look you keep all day. Oil-free. Fragrance-free.
The longest amount of time I have worn the foundation for is 8 hours (I did not remove my makeup until 9pm last night) and it held up really well. It did not come off when I blew my nose (It's allergy season) and it did not transfer on my clothes. It gave me a really natural appearance with one coat and it seemed to cover some hyperpigmentation that I have on my cheeks and around my mouth. This foundation had semi-matte finish when applied to my face (I would say that I have dry/combination skin with oil slicks that usually happen on my nose). Over all I think it's a really great foundation and I will definitely repurchase it.
