High End Foundations

First of all I'd like to say sorry about the image. For some reason, my high end foundations don't photograph very well and this was the best out of a very bad bunch. Secondly, you can probably remember that I posted a High Street Foundation collection post and I thought I'd follow it up by showing you my high end foundations.
MAC Studio Sculpt - This foundation is gel based and it provides mudium builable coverage and gives a natural finish that isn't completely matte or shiny. It's very long wearing and lasts throughout the day. I really do love this foundation but unfortunately, the colour isn't right for me at the moment as I'm pale. but when it comes to summer, I'll definitely be using this foundation!
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H - This is my all-time favourite foundation. I did a full review of this foundation a while ago with before/after comparisons picture. You can view this here. But in summary, it's full coverage, very lightweight, long lasting and provides a matte finish. It's just quite frankly, perfect!
Chanel Pro Lumiere - This foundation has now been discontinued and although I still have it in my collection, I'm not a big fan of it. I tend to use it on my sister as it's perfect for her skin tone and type. It leaves a glowy finish on the skin and is sheer/medium coverage. It lasts throughout the day and sits nicely on the skin. But unfortunately for me, it's too shiny and doesn't have enough coverage.
Estee Lauder Double Wear - Back when I first started my blog, I (badly) reviewed this product and you can see this here. The other week I also did a post on how I wear this foundation and you can view this post here. But in summary, I've stayed true to this foundation for a long time. It's full coverage and doesn't budge throughout the day. The only problem I have with this foundation is sometimes it can apply cakey and it takes a while to work into the skin. But it's perfect for night time.
Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint* - I did a full review of this a while back and you can see it here. I do like this tinted moisturiser and it's great for when I don't need a lot of coverage. It's very lightweight and provides sheer/medium coverage that's easy to build up. It's glowy though which means I have to powder often but when I don't fancy wearing a heavier foundation, this is perfect.

Which high end foundations do you love the most?
