I’m in Louisiana too and double wear is my absolute favorite! I’m trying to find an alternative for day to day but nothing looks as good as double wear to me. I wore it for my barn wedding in June and it did not budge.

For my fellow migraine sufferers: Guerlain - highly perfumed and a definite no for me. Dior - not as cloying but still a no. Armani: yes, I can do it. Scent is subjective of course, but this one is light enough and dissipates quickly. It is a cleaner smelling fragrance (almost like soap?) and I think that's why I can get away with it. I have dry skin and can still wear the Power Fabric for special occasions as Nikki said. The Luminous Silk is my holy grail for every day. I buy the mini and sometimes I mix the two. Haus Labs, Pat McGrath and Nars are thankfully fragrance free, but the Nars and PML are too peachy for me. The Haus Labs does have a light olive that could work but it has more glow than the Armani which is not great for my pores. It is pretty but not as skin-like and doesn’t set down as well. I have not tried the La Mer due to price/fragrance or the KVD yet. I hope this helps those with chronic allergies. If you know, you know.

Thank you so much for your post with scent-free recommendations! 🙏🏼💗

I decided to treat myself during the Sephora sale and picked up the Dior Forever because of your recommendation. It's almost magic how well it controls my oils while still looking like skin. My husband asked me after I had been wearing it for 10 hours if I had touched up my makeup because it looked so freshly applied. Game changing recommendation for me Nikki!

I have rosacea and tons of texture and I love the way the Guerlain Terracotta foundation looks and feels on my skin. Works year-round and is so long-lasting. I also love Dior foundations but the Forever Natural with the light cap version is just stunning. It's between the glow and matte version and it's alcohol free.

A consultant at Ulta recommended the Pat McGrath, and i LOVE it!! I used to wear only chanel foundations or the armani luminous silk, but honestly i now prefer the PMG. It just looks better on my mature skin, and lasts longer than the Chanel and Armani. I also have the Dior Forever glow--i like it too but it doesn't compare to the PMG.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do your tutorials. I did watch the entire video of your foundations. I have been wearing Estée Lauder Doublewear for 30 years now. I have tried switching up to others, but always find myself going back to the Estée Lauder double wear or the Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Foundation. I find for my money these give me the most coverage for what I want. I am a Retired Registered Nurse and wanted the long day coverage, so that is what I wore. I did try the Haus Labs foundation as a sample and two from Dior and liked them both, but they didn’t give me the coverage I needed. I am 67 years old, and don’t think I’ll change now.

This is what I do for a foundation bottle without a pump: take the cap off, then put your index finger over the top and press the bottle with the index on top and thumb underneath, and shake to mix. Then, put down the bottle, and that dot of makeup on your index finger when you shook the bottle, that’s what goes on the face. Repeat as needed. Not only can you control how much you put on, but it’s also CLEAN. No spillage, no dripping, all control. Hope this helps someone. 😁

I normally listen to reviews while doing a bunch of stuff in the house. Nikki, your videos are the only one i listen to and can’t get my eyes off the screen! While i listen to your wise piece of advice, i’m just there looking at the perfection of your contour/blush/highlight, being delighted by the reflection of the lights on your face. Admiring the way you put your lipstick on. You do make up in a way it look so good that it didn’t even look like makeup anymore. Your clients are definitely lucky 🌹🩷

I am 50 years old and I have been wearing Estée Lauder since I am 17 that is the only one I will ever wear. It is amazing.

I was honestly suprised not to see hourglass ambient soft glow.. high end yes, but gives the most subtle glow “ambient” I suppose and it lasts ALL day! Love you Nikki🤍🤍🎥

We need a best concealer video 👏🏻👏🏻,, you mentioned 4 of the foundations I use on my clients,, these foundations you can never go wrong with it .. even if you used it wrong it will show up great on the skin 👏🏻👏🏻..
