Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

For a long time now I've stuck to my BB creams for a bit of light coverage through out the day. However with a wedding coming up I wanted so get really slammed up and go for an all day look that would last.

I trailed this product after a consultation at Farmers and a small sample was taken home. Immediately I was hooked and had to get my hands on a bottle of my own. The foundation matched my skin tone beautifully and covers my freckles beautifully. I found in the heat of summer even when I perspired my make up stood the test of time. The consistency of this product is magic, it smoothes and spreads nicely and drys quickly however I can revisit and blend areas I've missed with my fingers easily without the product flaking or rubbing away. Even when I hopped in our pool and got a little splashed my skin still looked amazing afterwards without any smudging or running. This is a must have product for a lasting look of 15hours, I'm very happy with little investment.

I brought this a few months ago and have used it with a brush and a beauty blender. The staying power of this foundation is awesome. I put it on the back on my hand when applying and would get to work some days and find I had forgotten to wash it off my back of my hand. I would literally have to wait until I got home and use makeup remover or wipe to get it off as washing it under the tap never works. I love the feel of this foundation. To me it feels like I am not wearing foundation. I would normally avoid wearing foundation as the feel of it can irritate me all day. This foundation is not the best for people with dry skin. I sometimes get a dry nose and this foundation looks particularly bad on those dry flaky areas. Unfortunately the colour I purchased was a little dark for me so I have given it to my mother and she is loving it. I definitely plan to purchase it again in the near future.

This foundation is a MACHINE. I have never used a foundation before where I have felt comfortable wearing without a power. One layer with a beauty blender gives me full coverage and lasts all day, it's actually almost a pain to take off. I bought it for my wedding but I did notice some oxidising when my face got hot - it would turn slightly orangey. But once my face has cooled down it goes back to normal. I think I may not have been colour matched correctly, so once this bottle has run out I will try a lighter colour.

I did end up using a different foundation for my wedding that suited my colouring a bit better, but I still use this 2-3 times a week when I know I will be hot/sweaty or having a long day.

This is perfect. The best foundation that I've ever tried. I have repurchased this 3 times!!! It's my go to foundation. It works perfectly on me. It's long wearing and doesn't feel cakey. It even gave me a glow. Love this

Was lucky to get given this from a friend who bought from Estée Lauder counter and cosmetic girls recommended the wrong shade but lucky for me, pebble is the perfect shade yay! I love this, has max coverage but doesn't feel heavy unlike others (revlon colorstay), but for everyday makeup I mix with my norm moisturiser and apply instead, gives perfect even looking skin.. Price point for me is the only issue, but hey it is worth it!

I love this foundation so much. After trying a tester for a few days i went back and brought a whole bottle. I also convinced my friend to buy to as well.

Estée Lauder double wear- most makeup fans have heard of this iconic foundation. It's got a great reputation - because it's super good!. I had a break from using this and tried quite a few different foundations. Im glad to be reunited with my absolute favourite and now wondered why I ever went somewhere else!

It has everything I need for in a foundation, great coverage and just lasts all day. Who can be bothered reapplying foundation during the day? With this it just looks great even at the end of the day.

The brand itself is so luxurious, I'm a huge fan of most of the doublewear range. This foundation is in a glass bottle with a gold lid- classic and beautiful.

For application I ensure I only use a small amount and buff it into my face. By using a small amount my skin looks flawless but not too overdone.

It's such a great foundation and I totally recommend it if you love full coverage foundations.

This is my favourite foundation of all time. I've used up a bottle of it, and since i ran out i've missed it so much! I decided to put off replacing it straight away to force myself to try other foundations, but i've found nothing as good. The colour i use (1N1) is a perfect match, the consistency is perfect - its not super thick like a lot of people think, - it covers my breakouts, scarring and redness like nothing else, and it looks amazing for longer than any other foundation i've ever tried. I will be buying another bottle of it very soon. I will be surprised if i ever find another foundation that i love as much as this one.

Used to use Mac Pro-long wear foundation. This is amazing. I have really bad acne and scaring and this covers it all up. It does take quite a while to dry up but if you decide to bake with loose powder then you don't need to worry about the foundation drying up. I don't think I can go out without using this foundation. Full and matte coverage. Only problem is that there isn't a pump so when I put it out onto my hand I sometimes tend to pour out too much product which is a waste, however now after a while of using it I can (slightly) control how much I pour into my hand. Overall amazing product and would definitely recommend it for someone who wants a full coverage without looking valet ad instead looking natural. I've also had a lot of compliments on how good my skin looks. Little do they know my skin under is really bad lol
