Estee Lauder: Futurist Hydra Rescue

AD - Gifted for a review

I have been calling myself a beauty blogger for a very long time. During that time I had a chance to review many different products and as much as I enjoy testing anything makeup or skincare related, foundations are my favourite product to test. I think I have been most consistent with foundations since the day I started using makeup - I stick to liquid foundations almost exclusively and I have tried different coverages and finishes so I feel like I have good understanding of the kind of product I review.

Today, I am reviewing another foundation from a very close brand to my heart. Double Wear from Estee Lauder was my first high-end foundation and it was my go-to foundation for years for its full coverage and longevity. Nowadays I am looking for a glow finish and lighter coverage so I decided to try the Futurist Hydra Rescue foundation also from Estee Lauder. 

The foundation promises a medium coverage, natural glowy-finish and long-lasting look which is exactly what the foundation provides. It’s pretty runny and it blends well into the skin leaving it smooth and evened out. My face looks fresh even after a whole day of work and a workout. I have normal/dry-ish skin and it adjusts perfectly. 

This foundation is everything I was hoping Charlotte Tilbury’s Beautiful Skin foundation would be (and unfortunately isn’t). I cannot help but compare these two. CT’s foundation got so much hype while it does not perform too well and it does not last anywhere near as long as the Futurist Hydra Rescue foundation that gives skin that beautiful fresh and radiant look. I tried both of these foundations and can 1000% recommend the one from Estee Lauder.

The Futurist Hydra Rescue foundation with SPF 45 comes in a 35ml tube with a pump and you can pick from 28 shades (and they should match the Double Wear shades - at least my DW match fits well for this foundation as well).
