Finding a foundation that evenly matches your skin tone, doesn’t melt throughout the day and leaves a matte, non-oily look can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. But after going through several bottles and brands of foundation over the years, I’ve found one that has all of these qualities.

I borrowed this Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place foundation from my mom’s bathroom and quickly became obsessed with it — and now it’s the only foundation I use. It has over 14,500 five-star ratings on Amazon, and right now you can get it for 25% off during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. If you want to achieve a full-coverage look that blurs over wrinkles, fine lines and hyperpigmentation, read on about why this foundation belongs in your makeup routine.

I have really oily skin, and one of the things I love most about this Estée Lauder foundation is that it gives my makeup a matte look all day long. It also blends into my skin seamlessly, with medium-to-full coverage. You can apply it with a beauty blender or brush to cover up blemishes, wrinkles and lines without creasing.

I’m in my 20s, but this foundation works for people of all ages. Reviewers in their 60s boast about how flawless it looks on their skin. “It really does stay in place until I wash it off. This is my favorite foundation ever because it evens out my skin tone and camouflages all my wrinkles and acne scars without looking like pancake makeup,” says one reviewer. “My skin just looks naturally flawless all day long. I just turned 60, but many people have told me I look like maybe I just turned 50. I highly recommend this foundation.”

So, if you want to switch up your makeup routine or restock on some foundation, grab this Estée Lauder foundation while it’s still 25% off!
