Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Lightweight and thin to medium consistency, this foundation is perfect for everyday wear and it stays onto my face all day. I find it very challenging to find the right shade for my skin tone but the trick is to try to opt for the shade closest to your skin tone. For me, I've chosen the lighter shade and I used my bronzer to sculpt my cheekbones for better definition.

Until I discoverd mineral makeup, this was my 'go to' foundation. I still use it underneath my mineral if I feel like I need extra coverage from time to time. I love how it lasts on my skin, is easy to apply, goes on well, covers well and keeps my skin shine free all day.

I thought after many years of wearing revlon foundation I needed a change, My friend recommended me Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK. This foundation lasts all day!, Doesn't smudge, Doesn't wear off and blends like a dream. So happy with this foundation that I will probably buy again and again!

Omg when i first applpied this i fell in love! my skin looked flawless, the finish was beautiful and it lasted a while night in town but the next day i woke up (drunkenly forgot to take it off) and had broken out soo bad im so guttered!

I love this foundation. It has really nice coverage and it's not too heavy. I would definitely recommend to someone who likes a creamy textured foundation. Partner it up with a good setting powder and it's beautiful!

I was super excited to try out the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup after hearing incredible things about it from friends, and online. So a few days ago I took the plunge, and purchased this wee bottle of goodness! I'm super happy with it. Like all Estee Lauder products, the frosted glass bottle which this comes in is very pretty and elegant. Only a little bit of the product comes out at one time, but you only really need a small amount at a time anyway.

The range of shades offered in this range is really good. I personally find it really hard to find foundations fair enough to match my skin, but this product comes in a very pale porcelain shade (1C1 Cool Bone) which is PERFECT! The consistency provides a medium to full coverage which can easily be built up, and looks very natural and silky.

The only negative thing about this foundation is that after about three hours it started looking quite shiny and dewy, but this could be easily prevented or touched up with a powder or blotting tissue.

Other than that, super pretty! Will definitely continue to use this lovely product, although in future might look for cheaper alternatives.

I have used both this and clarins ever lasting and have to admit that the ever lasting is a bit nicer. I find the ever lasting quite cakey and can highlight dry skin. It certainly does stay on for 15+ hours though

I bought this when I wanted a full coverage foundation, and it did exactly what it said, however I have normal skin and it cracked and dried my skin out and made it feel cakey! Not an everyday foundation for me as it's difficult to remove also and I feel it clogs my pores but if you want a flawless long wearing foundation this is perfect!

OK so I got sucked in by the hype of how well this foundation is meant to be in the terms of full coverage. After getting colour matched (which was free) and it was found that I was the lightest shade (NC1) the wonderful counter sales lady gave me a small pottle (without me asking + she added a pottle of take it off remover too) of it which overflowed! Literally! The liquid spilled all over me when I opened the pottle it was so easy flowing. Although I also brought the full bottle whilst there as I don’t get into a city to be able to purchase normally, plus I had read so many good reviews about it I felt that I didn’t need to trial it.

The application of the foundation is a bit full on, as I am used to wearing lighter BB creams more now a days or my beloved Elizabeth Arden foundation. It’s formula wasn’t as thick as I expected (which is why I resulted in spilling over myself) and it is definitely a foundation where you should start off light and build up the coverage, I went a little heavy handed and found that using a foundation brush was better than my sponge but the normal amount of BB cream I use was far too much for this foundation and had to remove some excess with tissue, which was a little upsetting as I had paid $82 for this bottle of foundation, I didn’t really want to waste any at all. But now I have gotten used to the formula I know how to apply it properly and evenly without any waste.

Coverage, wow ok the hype is right it is amazing, the best coverage I have ever had from a foundation and the colour is spot on. Blended into my neck you can’t tell I am wearing anything. Even the husband commented that my skin looked like a porcelain doll and was flawless, which made me giggle a bit as he never says things like that.

Long-lasting? Yep! its good quality all right, it has a long lasting effect that lasts from 5am through to 8pm, when I remove my makeup, it never moved nor smudged off and still looked as flawless as when I was setting it first thing in the morning, I could very easily wear from work to evening without need to reapply or touch up.

Bottle design is very classic, with a chunky opaque glass bottle and gold toned lid it’s very pretty in its chic little way and being a high end product it takes pride and place on my makeup organiser at the top.

The only problem I found was that my super dry skin wanted to absorb the foundation into my pores, even with the use of a primer I still ended up with dry areas that soaked up the liquid making small white spot marks over my cheeks up close, and around my nose and chin line was flaky. The whole foundation gave my face a tight feel as if I was wearing a mask it wasn’t uncomfortable it’s just that you know you are wearing it. However with these issues I still love it, the dryness is down to my skin and I just need to find the right primer and make sure to treat my skin to some good hydration.

I'm currently using this product after I was offered a sample. The main advantages for me are the shade matches my skin pretty perfectly without making me look washed out ( I have very pale skin) and being a liquid foundation, it doesn't sit in my wrinkles but still gives good coverage and stays on very well. The downsides? It's expensive and does give me breakouts with prolonged use
