Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I have very oily skin ,but this foundation even is too dry for my skin , its liquid in the bottle ,but when you pour it out and apply on on skin ,it instantly turns to powder ,and its falky even on my oily skin .its very runny and the bottle does not have a pump with it ,so its hard to use.

I used this foundation for years. I stopped due to it having higher coverage than what I needed for everyday use. I’ve swapped to a lighter foundation. It would be easier to use if they put a pump on it.

I first tried this from the Farmer's Estee Lauder counter where the counter staff gave me a mini make-over. I was not impressed with how much of this product was applied and it put me off trying the sample I'd been given. I have a facial and sweating problem and very few foundations can cope with the profuse wetness on my facial skin. So on a night out I tried and faced with the same problem as always, I used this product, applying it with my fingers rather than a make-up brush (as the assistant had) and I was amazed at the wearability throuhgout the night. It didn't rub off, it didn't slide down or become dull and lifeless, even in a very hot environment. My facial sweating was not a problem to this wonderful foundation. The colour match for my highly pigmented skin was perfect (Pebble) and really minimised the dark patches under my jaw. This is now my go-to foundation but you do need a very good skin cleanser to get it off and a good moisturiser to ensure it doesn't get the cakey, over made-up look. (I have had huge success with Avon's Skin Invention Day Creme) and have received many compliments on how radiant and refreshed i am looking.

Estee Lauder Double Wear exceeds ALL of my expectations. I first tried it around 6 months ago when a friend told me that they offer 10 day samples and free colour matching at the pharmacy. I had wanted to try it for a long time and that was the perfect incentive to finally give it a go!

I don't have oily skin but I find that most foundations start to slide off or move around halfway through the day. Even when using a powder over top I could never find anything that lasted ALL day. The closest I came was Revlon Colourstay but even still I was starting to look patchy by mid afternoon.

Double Wear puts all other foundations to shame. The consistency is light and very blend-able yet it covers EVERY imperfection. I no longer need a concealer even when I have breakouts or very dark circles. I apply my foundation with a Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush (the greatest brush EVER made).

Double wear lasts ALL day. Even in hot temperatures and even when my face gets wet & it doesn't transfer onto anything. It still looks the same at night before I wash my face than it does when I apply it first thing in the morning.

I will never use another foundation as long as this one is around. It is well worth the $80 that it costs & Farmers quite often have 10 - 20% off Estee Lauder so grab it then & save yourself some money.

Good selection of shades, doesn't oxidise, stays matte all day, good coverage. In other words- does everything you want a foundation to do. The only issues I have with it are 1) if you don't adequately moisturise, or have particuarly dry skin, this foundation will CLING to dry patches like no other 2) $$$$$$. Be prepared to part with a good $80-$90 for this bad boy. Do I think its probably one of the best longwearing foundations out there? Yes. Do I think it's worth nearly double the amount of money as, say, Revlon Colorstay? No.

i love estee lauder i use to use this foundation everyday when i was working in the pharmacy, as we got an allocation for our make up and skin care so i have tried a lot of brand

i really liked this foundation it has a med to full coverage that truly is flawless all day has a great choice of colors so you can get your perfect match. it was great not having to soak all my white work tops because of foundation stains round the neck also they brought out doublewear light just as i left this still has the flawless look that last all day just feels alot lighter on the skin and was more of a med covarage i like that more now I'm not working in the pharmacy the price of the foundation really is out of my price bracket

This foundation is simply AMAZING. It's staying power is one hard to match, whilst it still gives amazing coverage. Sometimes it needs setting so that it doesn't slip otherwise it's one of my faves! ... It's worth forking out the money!
