AMAZING

this foundation is the best I have ever had! it is very light weight and stays perfect for hours. I used it for work and daily life and my skin stayed great it didn't block my pores or cause my skin to go oily. Fabulous Foundation and I have tried nearly every brand and this is by far the best of them all

Lasts all Day and Covers Imperfections

This is the first foundation that I've tried that has matched my skin tone the most. I currently own Revlon Colorstay however the colour is a bit too red toned for me (Caramel shade) however Estee Lauder Double wear have shades that can well adapt to my skin tone (unlike Colorstay which in fact oxidises and looks a different shade to what I applied). Apart from the shade itself, the foundation is extremely good. Doesn't look cakey and a little goes a LONG way. The foundation has quite a matte finish which I thought would effect my dry skin but really doesn't. It's quite lightweight but provides good amount of coverage and covers up my pimple scars and discolouration on my face. Easy to blend... IN LOVE!

Tips: - Remember a little goes a long way so put on a layer and see how it works for you then keep on going until you're satisfied with the coverage.

You get what you pay for!

This foundation really is so good. It is super full coverage (providing you put on a couple of coats) and lasts all day. It doesn't smudge onto the collar of the top that I'm wearing which is a huge plus!

Shade wise, I would totally recommend getting colour matched at your nearest counter, in my experience the ladies have always been super helpful! There's no point in spending all the money if the shade isn't going to look right on you!

I don't like the pouring tip, I'm afraid that I'l waste some, so I pour it into my sample pot and go from there.

10/10 would totally recommend!

Tips: A little goes a long way - start off with less and build up more coverage if you need it.

Holy Grail!

I love this foundation! Lasts all day, covers up my acne and doesn't look caked on! Only issue i have is with my acne flaring up to begin with but I changed my skin routine and this is back to normal! Great coverage and lasts all day!

Tips: Use a beauty blender to get flawless finish along with the doublewear concealer!

Where have you been all my life?!

I had heard of Estée Lauder double wear foundation a few times and heard it was really good! I had wanted it for a long time but was afraid of change. I have now been using this for the past month and I wish I had brought is sooner! This is the most amazing foundation! It has medium coverage which is very build able! It lasts all day and my skin is still looking flawless even after working everyday! It blends well and doesn't make my skin look painted. I use it with the Estée Lauder matte effect primer too so it doesn't stick to my dry patches. I am in love!

Tips: Make sure you get your colour matched by a professional wherever you plan to purchase if you can! I got mine from farmers and they were great!

Love Double Wear

I am a MAC lover usually but have found that I really need to use a primer, powder and finishing spray to get it to last the whole day. Estee Lauder Double wear really does last ALL day. Lots of shades to choose from so i'm sure one to fit most people. It doesn't rub off and looks flawless.

Tips: I use a makeup brush to apply so i dont waste it absorbing into skin or sponges. I also pour small amounts into a little container and use daily from that as it doesn't come with a pump.

Wall filler for your face - In a good way!

Double wear hands down is the best long wearing/staying in place foundation there is. Theres nothing on the market like it! its a very versatile foundation, although people say its full coverage which yes it is, its also a build-able foundation too. I don't personally like a heavy look in the day time so i just apply one layer and it covers without looking too heavy. The bottle is handy too if you don't use all the product you can just scope the rest back into the bottle.. Its too precious to waste!

Tips: Always use a moisturiser underneath, and a primer definalty helps. Don't apply it around your eye area, use the double wear concealer or any other concealer. You need a good make up remover to take this off, the Estee Lauder take it away is designed to take double wear off. Its not photo friendly, so if you have pictures with it on (especially with the flash on) you will get a white face in pics. To avoid this use the double wear powder on top or mix double wear with an illuminator. And lastly, when you are happy with the coverage of double wear leave it, once its dried its dried, if you try to apply more foundation over the top it will separate and you'll have to start all over again.

Perfect!

I found out about the 10 day trial for this from a Forum here on BR and popped in to the local Farmers to see if it was true. The lady who served me was amazingly helpful and instantly matched me with the lightest shade, Ivory Nude. Not expecting much as I've never actually found a colour that matches my skin, I was very pleasantly surprised to not be able to tell I was wearing it except my skin looked flawless. I have very dry skin and was warned about this product but so far I have no complaints, I have no problem slapping on a bit more moisturiser every morning. Will definitely be purchasing this product, feels amazing, lasts, and doesn't smell terrible. It is also very light weight.

Tips: People with dry skin may need a bit more moisturiser under this foundation.

Perfect Skin

I actually got this product in a tester pot first and purchased shortly after. First day I was wearing it I received compliments on how 'perfect' my skin looked. I didn't think much of it because I only wear make-up on occasion. But every single time I wore this I got great results - and people noticed.

I was colour matched in Lambton Quay Farmers and they got the colour match perfect. It goes on nice and light, but can be built up under the eyes if you're like me and have dark circles. It provides a perfect everyday coverage and all I need to do is a finishing powder or blush. Some days I go without this and it still looks great. I keep the coverage relatively light but it still does a fantastic job.

The coverage lasts all day. It still looked great 16 hours later! Which is amazing. I didn't find I got oily patches and the colour definitely withstood a full day of wear. I have already recommended this to a friend! My new favourite foundation.

Literally the best

My sister gave me a half used bottle of this as she was chnaging shades for the season. Oh, amd I glad she did that. This foundation is amazing. Goes on really easily and blends well. The coverage is excellent so I don't need to go back and reapply over any areas. It stays on all day and looks just as fresh when I get home in the evenings as when I left in the mornings. It even stays put through my gym sessions! I am a true addict now and definitely recommend giving this a go!

Tips: Fresco blends to most skin shades.
