Double wear or double smear?

I used this product on my wedding day and a few weeks prior to see if it would be as amazing as everybody thinks it is. And yeah it was a good foundation. The only problem I had with it is that it would sink into my under eye lines and around my mouth. Also would run off my nose really easily andelt of my checks if I'm too hot for too Long. This is all with a setting powder. Overall good foundation but I havse found better

YES YES YES

This foundation does it all! Great coverage, long lasting and has a flawless finish. I only use a tiny dab and it goes a very long way! It is easy to build up and does not give you them terrible swipe like marks. I usually have terrible oily skin and my makeup usually easily wipes off but this stays and doesn't make my skin any oilier. Although this is a rather expensive product it is most definitely worth it!

Tips: I would purchase the little pump as it is much easier to use to get the product out.

Best Foundation ever

Love this so much. It makes my skin look so smooth, it doesn't feel dry even though it has a matte finish. I really love the fact that I do not feel the need to reapply it during the day. Even though it is pricey a little bit goes a long way, so it does last me a lot longer than other foundations have in the past.

Tips: Remember to use a really good makeup remover if you are using this as it really does stay put.

Great coverage, great longevity and looks fab!

I bought this because the advertising said that it would last all day and because it's Estee Lauder, I trusted that this product would be of a high quality. I was right, this foundation does last all day and the coverage is awesome! I didn't need to do any touchups during the day and people complimented on my makeup as well. It feels great to use this product, I love it!

Tips: Use a matte primer before putting on the foundation if you have oily skin like me.

Staying power!

This foundation is amazing! Never ever have I tried a foundation that stays on my skin and doesn't budge. I apply first thing in the morning, set with powder and that's it, I don't need to touch up at all. It is a pricey foundation but I believe its worth it for the fact that it doesn't budge. I did find the first couple times I used it, it felt as though I could feel it sucking into my skin and really setting tight on it but I don't feel that now as im used to it. You also do need a really good cleanser to remove it. Fab foundation !

Tips: Prep your skin first, apply to well moisturised clean skin.

Flawless

I was given this as a gift and am very impressed. Very easy to apply and the consistency was perfect, it glided on easily and unlike other long lasting foundation I have tried it felt light and I didn't feel like I was wearing a mask. It looked natural so I have found my new favourite foundation. It does not rub off on my clothes and my eye make up, blusher etc sets and looks good with it.

Tips: A little goes a long way.

One of my favourites!

After reading some reviews I finally went balls deep and bought this foundation and I haven't regretted it for a second. I have combination skin and found it stayed on my t zone all day and didn't get too oily although after about the 8 hour mark I did need to touch up my powder. Id definitely recommend anyone with combo skin to get a sample and try it out. It also didn't break me out which is great! Alas it is pricey so is more of an Occassion foundation then a everyday.

Double wear problems?

so i'm a huge fan of Estee lauder products, double wear is amazing, long wear and has great coverage the only downfall i found is that taking it off is super hard, i use make up wipes usually but found i had to use a scrub then wipes to get it off!

Tips: invest in a good facial scrub or cleanser, takes as much time to take of as it does to put on, so personally wearing this depends on how much time you have to take it off when you get home

I had the same problem! Even using a micellar water cleanser wouldn't get it to budge. I've find that oil cleansers work best to get rid of it all - I'm currently using Shu Uemura's POREfinist cleansing oil and it works a treat :)

Stays in Place

I got a sample of double wear a while ago and have found the little bottle has given me heaps of uses, which is great! The colour I was matched to matches my skin tone perfectly and although the foundation is a little thinner than what I'm used to it provides great coverage and I can easily get away without concealer when I'm wearing this. I've tested this out over 8 hours of rain, wind, sweat and tears on the tongariro crossing and an 8 hour sailing trip- to emerge looking just as flawless. So I can say its staying power is great. Despite the comments that it is really hard to take off, I didn't seem to have any trouble with my usual Cetaphil cleanser and Lush Toner. As it is quite pricey I think this will be more of a special occasion foundation rather than an everyday one. I really like it and can def see me buying a bottle when I run out for such occasions

Tips: As this is quite a drying foundation I would reccomend using a rich moisturiser underneath to help prevent it from drying out your skin too much

Currently trailing this foundation

I am currently still trialling this foundation. I went the the chemist to get colour matched and they gave me a tester for a golden colour which looked beautiful on my face. I then went to farmers to see what they would say. They gave me a more dull tone that would need more bronzer than the first. So far I have tried both of them and I'm not sure if I'm too keen on the actual product. I'm finding it very thick and super had to blend. I've been using a flat top brush but I may switch to my beauty blender. I also used the suggested amount which was the nail size of the foundation but as I have oily skin wen I use that amount it comes of within a few hours.

Tips: I would defenitly not recommend this to anyone with very oily skin.
