This is one of my holy grail foundations! If you are looking for a full coverage foundation then this is the one to get. I have quite oily/combination skin so find some foundations slick off but I manage to get full days wear out of this and it's a matte finish so no crazy shinyness either
Tips: Make sure to cleanse well, oil based cleanser works the best to get it off
Fantastic for oily skin, do not use for dry skin. My skin was so oily even in this you would see the oil come through after a few hours, this was the only foundation I could use and it made my skin look flawless!! never got caught in my pores and covered all my acne. However, as iv'e aged my skin has got less oily and now it catches a lot making my skin look wrinkly and caked. THIS IS A VERY FULL COVERAGE AND MATTE!!! and needs to be washed off fully before going to sleep. It is hard to take off but the bonus is that once it's on it doesn't budge
Tips: would recommend buffing on with a stipling brush over a beauty blender. wouldn't recommend cream contours and blushes over this definitely only powders!
I have oily acne scarred skin, and I had heard so much about this foundation and how amazing it was. It gives great coverage but for me it just isn’t enough. I can still see my pigmentation and scars underneath and I applied quite a heavy double layer. Would be great for someone with clear skin
Provides a great full coverage foundation, great for oily skin or t zone. Lasts me from the morning to evening with only a slight tinge of my redness coming through on my cheeks. Can make dry skin look a little textured
Tips: Apply with a sponge for a more sheer look
Been using this foundation for countless years. I still have this in my make up collection constantly. I usually only use it these days if it’s a hot day (knowing I may sweat) or if I know I need my make up to last the entire day and into the night
Tips: It can be hard to work with as once it’s on it’s on there is no movement !
I love this foundation! It's my go to on a night out because it has staying power like no other, great coverage and the colour doesn't alter, I like to call this product photoshop in a bottle.
I used the Double Wear foundation for years in my early twenties. I loved the full coverage and that a little went a long way. Now in my early thirties I have recently repurchased this foundation aftera few years trying other products. Unfortunately my ‘normal’ skin is now on the drier side and I have fine lines around my eyes and forehead. I found that the foundation is now too matte for my skin type and exaggerated the dry spots and lines. I hope Estée Lauder releases a similar product more suitable for dryer skin tones. In saying that, I still recommend to my normal-oily skinned friends!
Tips: Mixing a couple of drops of Urban Decay facial oil to this foundation enabled it to sit more nicely on my skin but it did reduce the coverage.
Estee Lauder Double Wear is undoubtable one of my top foundations! It is 'Full Coverage" with a "matte finish" which was one of the reasons I was drawn to trying it in the first place! Once the product is applied - it does not budge! The skin appears flawless for the duration of the day, perfect for those who do not have time to reapply/touch up make up, especially suitable for gym-goers - the amount of times I have been complimented on my makeup AFTER a sweaty gym session is insane! In addition to the coverage, Double Wear contains SPF, which is an added bonus which not all Foundations offer.
There are so many different shades available (60+), so you shouldn't have any issues finding the perfect shade for you. I have two different shades that I alternate between depending on the season.
Although it is on the higher end in terms of cost, I feel that it is worth it. I would suggest waiting until it goes on sale - Farmers, Sephora & Smith and Caugheys often have 20% off sales!
PROS: - This foundation does what it says it will do - providing double the wear time compared to most other foundations. - The skin appears flawless, perfect for nights out! - It is available in 60+ accounting for a variety of undertones. - Sleek packaging in a glass bottle, easy to get the product out of. - Contains SPF 10.
CONS: - May not be suitable for those with 'dryer' skin as it can be quite drying on the skin. For best results apply to fully moisturised and primed skin. - I would love for the pump was included with the packaging as they come seperately at an extra cost. - A little on the pricey side compared to most other foundations.
Tips: - Most stores offer a FREE colour matching service to ensure that you select the shade that best suits your skine tone. They will often provide you with a takeaway sample pot for you to try in your own time. - It is worth buying a pump (seperately) in order to reduce the amount of product that is used. - Wait for sales to nab Double Wear at a cheaper price.
Love this foundation! I love that not only can I rely on it to go the distance, stand up to humidity and exercise, but it also can be made more sheer or a fuller coverage depending on how it s applied. I’ve used this for many years and it’s always my number one go to.
Tips: I like to apply it with a damp sponge, set lightly with loose powder, then a wee spritz of rose water to bring back the slight ‘glow’.
