Stop looking. I found the foundation that lasts all day.

So I’ve been waiting for the right foundation to come along. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3QjpRobllVTzUkIbzHznbetxa__HuT5NM2Q0i68ng85GV6L-YRiBcaqIuSHEL_jYvIHJZKB8opHMVF8SHm4aqoDsI_yktR3tTFUgwvw2y_UImMR2DGnhwY2OGFRRTH0mflH9QnWmp6yw/s1600/camel-tan-wrap-coat-sneakers-chronicles-of-her.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3QjpRobllVTzUkIbzHznbetxa__HuT5NM2Q0i68ng85GV6L-YRiBcaqIuSHEL_jYvIHJZKB8opHMVF8SHm4aqoDsI_yktR3tTFUgwvw2y_UImMR2DGnhwY2OGFRRTH0mflH9QnWmp6yw/s1600/camel-tan-wrap-coat-sneakers-chronicles-of-her.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It needs to completely even-out any redness or dark patches, but still have a sheerness about it so my natural skin shows through. I don’t like my foundations to dry completely matte, either. I like a little bit of glow, but definitely nothing shiny. And it needs to go the distance because I don’t believe in reapplying throughout the day. It has to last - from my morning coffee run, through a long day at the office and then on into the evening if I’ve made plans after work.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’d come close to finding ‘the one’, but most of them completely disappeared after an hour or two. I’d gone through just about every ‘cult’ foundation, but nothing ticked every single box… and then I found it. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzeAzIwmr-02R6mtM0VKtkPjR2X0K-BqcHl-aV3Z-POBDCZeseZEjwedHb9DYcoKn6GK29ZCoMD0rsLv-Lx7iUMTIvyllg_aNY2U855Bt8-9t5uD25obpNg93rp0aODy9VjQLVolx4LKM/s1600/estee-lauder-double-wear-foundation-chronicles-of-her.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzeAzIwmr-02R6mtM0VKtkPjR2X0K-BqcHl-aV3Z-POBDCZeseZEjwedHb9DYcoKn6GK29ZCoMD0rsLv-Lx7iUMTIvyllg_aNY2U855Bt8-9t5uD25obpNg93rp0aODy9VjQLVolx4LKM/s1600/estee-lauder-double-wear-foundation-chronicles-of-her.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><a href="http://bit.ly/1AlcAzc" target="_blank">Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Make Up</a></u> is everything. It’s my daily go-to. All I need is a few small dots (one on each cheek, the chin and the forehead) and it smoothes-out my entire complexion. You can build it up for the PM, but I keep it light so it doesn’t even feel like I have anything on my skin. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuGtbFTaHy9TeZ1tnBbiVoJzYRp68cbGsnaroZ3idjV3DBkrXLvbpRrtF2JvkTkGv-KGWzjxF0zXLDUepaFx8zDKFewQFzn1qaWl0Q8S7n_fE9S9gkSJDaosEwzWZjk8JeakWYdFZIn3o/s1600/estee-lauder-double-wear-foundation-chronicles-of-her-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuGtbFTaHy9TeZ1tnBbiVoJzYRp68cbGsnaroZ3idjV3DBkrXLvbpRrtF2JvkTkGv-KGWzjxF0zXLDUepaFx8zDKFewQFzn1qaWl0Q8S7n_fE9S9gkSJDaosEwzWZjk8JeakWYdFZIn3o/s1600/estee-lauder-double-wear-foundation-chronicles-of-her-02.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And when I get home from work? Sure, it’s worn-in a bit throughout the day but my skin still looks even. Seriously, if you need your skin to look good all day, this is the best $50 you’ll ever spend. It stays-put for up to 15 hours, plus it’s oil-free, so it doesn’t go greasy on your skin later in the day.  </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amen.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Shot in collaboration with <u><a href="http://www.vogue.com.au/" target="_blank">Vogue Australia</a></u> & <u><a href="http://bit.ly/1AlcAzc" target="_blank">Estée Lauder</a></u>.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
