Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Ugh where do I even start!! This is the most amazing foundation I have ever used. The staying power is ammmmazing gives such a flawless look!!! And it lasts me ages as you don't need to apply much for full coverage! I recommend this to everyone! Only downside is trying to get it off!

I am a total mineral foundation addict and generally stay away from liquid foundations. I love the way minerals make my skin look.

However I really wanted to try something totally different and I kept seeing the ads everywhere for Estee Lauder double wear and thought let’s give it a whirl!. I am really pleased I did. I was a little worried that this would be too heavy for my skin and cause problems – I have quite sensitive skin and its prone to over-reacting to new products.

I went and got myself colour-matched as I didn’t think I could trust myself to get this right and ended up with the shade Sand.

I do love the glass bottle that it comes in its a lot more elegant than the foundations im used to however I didn’t like that there is no pump so you just have to pour out the foundation you need – but im no stranger to sometimes messy foundation applications ! /

I started with my usual routine, moisturiser followed by primer and then applied the Estee Lauder double wear with a foundation brush. I poured a little bit of foundation onto the back of my hand and used the foundation brush to apply. I worked on a side of my face at a time as it does set quite quickly. At first I thought it was going to be too heavy and look to made up but I was pleasantly surprised. The colour was actually a perfect match for my skin and working in little sections of my face at a time and quickly blending achieved a flawless finish. I consider this a medium-full coverage ( I personally think moving more towards full coverage) and finishes to a matte type finish. I was very pleasantly surprised how this turned out my skin it looked clean fresh flawless but I don’t feel it looked cakey and it didn’t show up any dry patches or imperfections. It didn’t cause any irritation and it didn’t feel tight or anything on my face like wearing a mask. I didn’t even use any concealer with this so was very pleasantly surprised.

It wore impressively well, my whole work day and then some easily. I love the wear on this and it still looks just as good at the end of the day as it does at the beginning.

The only downside to this for me is the removal required a bit more effort than I’m used to with the mineral foundations but the pro’s far outweighed this one con for me so this is definately my new holy grail product.

I work in a hair salon and this has been the only foundation that has worked so well so far, it doesn't move at all, I can even shower and not get my face wet and it looks good still even from all of the humidity. It lasts about 6 months for a bottle for me using it everyday, it's great!

I currently have a tester of this foundation which I am defiantly going to buy! I like to use this makeup for going out at night as I know it will stay in and look great. I have a mildly oily face but with this product it doesn't seen to show any signs of oil or shine. Defiantly recommend to all!

I don't tend to buy too many high end products but I jumped the gun and got colour matched for this foundation. This is amazing. I have oily skin so I love the matte finish. It does stay a long time on skin so it does what it says. It doesn't budge and it's lovely to apply. I think it's well worth the money and I've heard that it's even cheaper now at $69. I love the packaging with the gold cap. However, I wish it has a pump.

I loved using this foundation as it does stay in place all day however the colours just weren't quite right for my skin so I have since switched to another brand but now I have the problem of it not staying put all the like the doublewear does

I absolutely love this foundation, one bottle lasts me about a year, it has great coverage and stays on for the whole day from 8am to 11pm and comes in so many shades its great matches any skin tone and defiantly worth the price of what it is, never came across anything better

I absolutely love this foundation. For so long I have been on the look out for a foundation that stays in place all day as well as not being too oily. This foundation is literally a god send, it doesn't budge one bit. This is the best full coverage foundation I have used, and I mostly save it for special occasions or nights out. As naughty as it is, even if I am to fall asleep with my makeup on, I can wake up with it looking basically the same the next morning, and often friends ask me if I have put more makeup on. Would definitely recommend.

I just adore this product!! I find it hard to match a good makeup to my skin tone but this foundation was just perfect! I was slightly skeptical at first but gave it a go! I was wanting something that would last the long hot days at work without needing to constantly touch up in between clients! This product actually lasts!!! I put it on at 7:30 am and when I get home at 8:30 at night my makeup looks as fresh as when I left!

I first got this when I was around 18 and just started to wear makeup, so very into heavy makeup because I wanted it to SHOW! And this is why I'm on the fence with this foundation. I do not have acne, and I have quite normal to combination skin - having lots of dry patch moments throughout the year, but overall it isn't that bad, and this foundation is definitely for people for acne because I won't lie, it does what it's meant to do - COVER. And cover it does! It is VERY heavy, and I can never seem to find the right way to applying it because it just does not work for me. It makes me go dry very quickly, definitely looks like I have foundation and they don't lie and tell you it's natural at all. I find that the product also becomes really thick after a month or two (maybe it was just me) and I had to wait for it to come down. I hate the bottle because it wastes a lot of product without a pumper, and moreover, I just don't think this foundation was right for me at all. I even used it recently thinking maybe my skin will adapt to it more; but nope, it was still pretty bad.

If you don't have acne DONT go for this, and if you do be sure to test it out first!
