Review: Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup SPF 15

What They Say: "Combining the powerful benefits of revolutionary Resilience Lift Extreme skincare, Estee Lauder brings you its first ever foundation to give skin a more lifted look – Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup SPF15. This is a totally new way to experience foundation! The luminous liquid makeup delivers beautiful radiant skin that is actively being protected on a daily basis, and looks more lifted with continued use. Flawless skin today, firmer, more youthful looking skin tomorrow.

Containing potent skincare actives, Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup SPF15 is the most groundbreaking foundation from Estee Lauder to date. Not only does it do everything you would want a foundation to do; go on smoothly and seamlessly, camouflage imperfections, even out skin tone, look natural on the skin, Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup SPF15 also delivers superior skincare benefits.

Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup SPF 15 will have a true visible impact on the way your skin will look, from the moment you put it on your skin will look brighter, more radiant, and in as little as four weeks, you will have more lifted looking skin.

Upon application, the superior skincare ingredients, contained in Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra firming Makeup, immediately work to hydrate and improve the skin’s elasticity. Specially treated pigments and light illuminating mica instantly impart a radiant glow to the skin, making it appear smoother and more even. Pores are minimized as fine lines and wrinkles disappear.

In 15 beautiful color-true shades, Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup’s long wearing formula features a ground-breaking mix of skin-improving ingredients delivering more lift, more moisture and more radiance.

More lift
• Features the revolutionary Extreme Lift Complex containing Triterpenes, Tetra, Hexapeptides and Energy that help skin boost its natural production of collagen for long-term improvement in visible lift.
• Polylift, a protein rich flexible film comprised of Sweet Almond and Vegetable Albumen, immediately works to help skin feel tighter.

More moisture
• Hyaluronic Acid creates a reservoir effect by slowly releasing moisture to keep skin supple and hydrated all day.
• The Lipid Complex of Avocado, Melon Fruit Extract, Cholesterol, Murumuru butter, Ceramides and Linoleic Acid help restore the skin’s natural surface epidermal layer enabling it to better retain moisture and critical skin care ingredients and further protect the skin from harmful environmental aggressors.

More Radiance
• Seigesbecka, a plant extract, helps skin maintain its natural elastin and collagen levels, helping it to maintain a youthful, supported spring.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen and Soy Protein help provide support to the skin helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Sunscreen and anti-oxidants provide a protective calming shield for the skin helping to combat the visible effects of daily environmental stressors and sun exposure – all factors that can prevent the skin from accepting and effectively utilizing skincare ingredients.

Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup SPF 15 is dermatologist tested, non-acnegenic, fragrance free, non-streaking, color true and safe for sensitive skin."

Lisa’s Experience: I was impressed with this product from the onset beginning with the packaging – a hefty, nicely shaped bottle that easily fits in your hand with a pump top that delivers the precise amount. Two pumps and it’s enough product for complete coverage of my entire face with a little extra leftover to build a heavier coverage (which I like). I applied this product with my fingers, a brush and a dampened sponge and, while all were quite satisfactory, I think the brush produces the prettiest results.

The texture is creamy and the color is true. Once on the skin it produces a flawless, hydrated, luminous effect. Not shiney. Just highlighted where you should be with fine lines minimized and barely noticeable. It’s simply beautiful! For those wanting to try Armani’s gorgeous Designer Shaping Foundation but cringe at the price, this is very similar and easier on the pocket book.
I will say that I did not get to use it long enough to see any “lifting” results, however, due to the products ability to hydrate, minimize fine lines and add illumination, I felt like I looked a little more lifted. I will keep using this to see if the lift effect I’m seeing is truly lifting tissue or an illusion of all the properties in this wonderful bottle. Either way, it’s a winner. This is definitely going to be a HG in my personal make-up bag. It’s just that good.

Please Note: I would not recommend this for oilier skin types. It’s very hydrating and works best on normal/dry – dry skin and mature skin types.

Retail Price: $33.50 (at all Estee Lauder counters and esteelauder.com)

When you apply it with a brush, do you put two pumps of it in your hand and swirl the brush in it or?

Janet, I apply a primer to my face with a clean sponge and pump two dollops of product onto the back of my hand so it can "warm up". I just press my brush into the foundation picking up only what I need for a small area (forehead, right cheek, nose, etc.) and start applying at my forehead and work down using small circular motions. HTH!
