Flight attendants dream!

Working in the cabin of a plan is a very dry environment and can be very hot work (sweaty eww not glamorous). This is the only foundation I have found that 1. lasts all day and 2. still looks amazing at end of shift.

I love love love the coverage! I have freckles, some may say cute (NOT), but this is how I judge a good foundation..can it cover my freckles? The answer YES and bonus without looking heavy!

The only thing I didn't like is because it has a matte finish it can get a little dry. Especially if you have fine lines. I feel it does enhance these are the day goes on. So a good setting spray is a MUST.

Amazing range of colours to perfectly match your skin tone. Having warm, neutral and cool tones makes a huge different in finding the perfect match.

Tips: Beauty blender is a must!! Creates a beautiful smooth full coverage finish.

My number one

After using Diorskin foundation for years they stopped making it and I was forced to find a replacement. This was so hard for me but Doublewear was one of the first foundations I was recommended and the second one I tried. Haven't looked back since. I have ivory skin with a yellow tone which is very hard to match but doublewear shade 1N0 is perfect for me Topped with their translucent powder my skin appears flawless and my makeup stays put all day. Top marks from me!

Full coverage foundation that covers all flaws

Super full coverage that will cover anything and anything, does exactly as it says and truely is long lasting.

I find that with my skin type I do need to use a moisturiser under this product to ensure there is no flaking and it applies smoothly.

The only thing I could say I would like more from this product if for it to come with a pump! This product I feel I waste quite a bit by decanting too much.

You can purchase a pump! Just got one recently and I'm sure this bottle is going to last a lot longer.

Love hurts

I am a huuuuuge fan of this. I would have to say if cost wasn’t an issue and I could pick any foundation I wanted I would pick this.

I love my shade and I’ve never ever felt let down by the solution. It’s one of the only foundations ever I have scraped the bottom of the barrel to finish it off... or more perhaps desperate that it hasn’t run out.

It’s a a nice creamy consistency but it covers my flaws in one go. I have a few pigment marks that need to be covered and this amazingly covers them with no touch ups needed.

It feels quite light and flawless to wear yet covers well which is another standout. Doesn’t feel greasy or oily and stays quite matte during the day so even with wear you don’t get that oily, cracked makeup look.

Coverage for me is full coverage I don’t have bad skin or a lot to cover but it does cover what I need it to well so I don’t often tend to go for anything else but medium coverage makeup.

It does everything I need and want from a foundation.. apart from being affordable. I use to use this all the time when I worked and we had 2 incomes nowadays there’s less time in between purchases given the price. It is amazing so if you can splurge for this go for it.

Great review. My foundation always seem to go flaky after a while, especially on the forehead and nose. Thinking I might give this product a try

Not worth the hype IMO

I had a few issues with this product: First one is that despite there being something like 25 shades, there's just not one that suits me that well (even though I've got a great match in the double wear light range). Secondly, while some people love the matte finish, I feel that it's too drying on my forehead, which I feel accentuates the minor lines I have. Not a hot look. Given these issues, I'd say that I wouldn't repurchase. I would recommend it to a friend on the basis of other people loving it, and it has a wide range of shades. Estee Lauder are very generous with their samples, and that way you can try before you buy.

Tips: Consider mixing the product with a touch of moisturiser or primer, for a less dry finish.

O.M.G

How, HOW have I never found this foundation! I have oily/comb skin which means any foundation I use tends to melt off my face but THIS IS A GAME CHANGER!! Leaves my skin flawless, hides my dark pigmentation, has no scent, lasts all day with no touch ups required, buildable for the nights out. Only cons- I wish it was higher SPF and if I accidentally forgot to take it off I may get a spot or two in my Tzone. Otherwise I wish I had found this foundation earlier as it is seriously amazing!!

Very full coverage

I love the coverage of this foundation. It goes on flawlessly every time. It hides my redness which is a must for any foundation I use, I have a very red nose and cheeks. I struggle to find a foundation that looks good throughout the day. But this foundation has been one of my go to foundations for awhile now because of its lasting results. Beautiful texture and smell isn’t to strong. Price is a little up there that’s why I’ve given it 4/5. I feel you can get similar foundations for abit cheaper.

Tips: Prime well.

Estee Lauder Double Wear

A nice and creamy, but non-heavy liquid foundation. It has a lovely smooth texture, like BB cream consistency, making it nice and spreadable.

The coverage i’ll say can be light to medium, depending how much you put on. The weightless formula of the foundation gives you an easy application, and a nice and natural look, which i like.

However, it doesn’t really work well on dry skin. Close up, you can It sitting on top of the flakes, forming dried coloured patches. It doesn’t hide the flakiness of your skin. So you do have to exfoliate your skin well if your skin is dry. It also sits in your facial creases, revealing my fine lines, which i have to smudge away using my fingers once in a while.

Another thing is that it does eventually blot off in hot, sweaty weather.

Overall... not bad in terms of staying power. Just need to use it with a good primer. Those with good skin will benefit from using this foundation.

A friend of mine has oily skin, and this foundation just look’s amazing on her. It gives her skin flawless coverage, and a healthy, natural glow. So i recommend those with oily skin to just go and ask for a sample, as results may differ on combo sk

Long last flawless foundation

I have never used a more long lasting foundation in my life. I absolutely loved it, I get an oily nose so by the end of the with most foundations there is nothing left on my nose but with double wear I don’t have to worry.

The only downfall is because it is so long wearing ang full coverage it feels a little heavy and be careful with your make up brushes. Don’t use a super expensive one with this as it’s extremely hard to wash off the brush.

Other than that I love the product and would purchase it again in a heart beat.

Matte, thick, full coverage foundation

I used to use this when the matte look was in and when my skin needed the full coverage. It comes in a luxurious feeling glass bottle and is definitely a full coverage makeup.

My skin has improved since and I prefer a lighter coverage so I'm not using this one as much. It definitely works well though if you are after a full coverage foundation that doesn't budge all day. It doesn't look very natural because it's so full coverage but it will cover essentially everything and leave you with very matte skin.

I find you need to work fairly quickly with it though because it can set and be streaky if you want to build it later.
