I recently finished my MAC Studio Finish concealer and although it gave good coverage, I found it drying under the eyes. So I decided to try the much hyped up Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Make Up, which can be used on both the face and body. I used to enjoy using Estee Lauder Disappear concealer for a few years but now I have discovered Maximum Cover I can't see me being without it again!
This is not a new product it has been out ages but I can't believe I have only just got around to trying it! Although this is far too heavy coverage for me personally to use as a foundation, it is the best concealer I have tried - it covers everything scars, spots, dark circles and even tattoos! The best thing about this make up is although it gives such good coverage it is not cakey or drying, it is lightweight and almost feels as if you're not wearing any make up, as it blends effortlessly into the skin.
I need to use the tiniest amount and that is still more than enough for under my eyes and to cover any blemishes or redness so I think this large 30ml tube will last forever! I purchased this in the shade 11 Very Light which is the perfect match for my skin tone. It is a dream to use, creamy and moisturising under the eyes, and I have found it works the best applying with my Sigma E40 Tapered Blending Brush to give that airbrushed finish. It is really long lasting, water resistant and doesn't crease or melt under the eyes like some concealers can.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Make Up Costs £27.50 and is available from Selfridges, John Lewis, Boots, Debenhams & House of Fraser and Sigma Beauty E40 Brush costs around $8 (£5) Have you ever tried Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Make Up?

Guest Post today from Laura Tinker who is going to share what is inside her dream makeup bag:
I love make up. It’s no secret that I could spend hours in the beauty department testing all
the different shades of lip gloss on the back of my hand and squirting fragrance until I smell like an unholy disaster. But despite me coveting everything available, even I can see the gems that sparkle above the rest. Clockwise from the top:
Lancôme Shimmer Block. Featuring a picture that depicts Paris in the 40’s, this shimmery blush is perfect for my summer handbag to give me a radiant glow.
Harrods Make-Up Bag. A fantastic place to store all the makeup you have been eying up.
Harrods itsy bitsy polka dot wonder!!
Estee Lauder Eyeshadow - Exclusive to Harrods, the Gelee Powder eye shadow in Cyber Lilac is a must have for my makeup bag. You can create a day or night look with the selection of shades, and the colour shines like the stars, leaving you looking fabulous!
Bobbi Brown Balm - Adds glow to your cheeks but also protects – this magic balm is
designed to add hydration and sooth your skin. Result!

you looking like you are makeup free and natural. Brushes have a great design to ensure
