Not recommended for sensitive skin.

I tried this on my skin. It's very full coverage and it also breaks out my skin. It really did last long as it says it does but unfortunatly because of my skin type I can never use it again. I have another friend that has it and loves it. It's good for night as it lasts 12 or more hours but for day time it's a no no unless you want a full coverage foundation.

Estee Lauder Double Wear

I was expecting a bit more from this foundation. The coverage and staying power is good however I have oily skin and I found it to be quite drying on my skin. I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong, I have tried using primer and moisuriser underneath but still no difference. I prefer a dewy look and this is more matte on me, so unfortunately because of this I won't be buying again.

Good but pricey

I quite liked this foundation however-Im not sure its worth its price. Before it I had a loreal foundation which was just as good and half it price!

Good product but I have found cheaper alternatives

Doublewear in Bone is always a classic medium to full coverage foundation for me however it is pricey and I have found similar quality foundations for much cheaper with slightly better color matches hence why I have strayed from this product.

Time & Place

I fall in and out of love with this product!

I find this quite a full coverage foundation and tend to only wear this going out of an evening.

This does leave you looking flawless and have worn it a few times for photo shoots.. tends to photograph well without giving without. This may look too heavy for day wear and or summer. The colour options are limited and this is quite expensive but does last a long time.

I may try this product again over winter and try to apply with my Sigma Flat Kabuki.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a full coverage matte look.. colour selections limited so make sure the colour is right for you. Its a lot of money to get the wrong colour and be unhappy.

Tips: I would recommend wearing this for a day before purchasing to make sure you are happy with colour and coverage

Disappointed!

I recently received a sample of the ever so raved about EL double wear, and am sad to say I am not a fan! It made my skin dry out terribly and also made me break out even after washing my face twice! In saying that, everyone's skin reacts differently and my skin is normal/dry. The lady did tell me it may make my skin dry since I do have mildly dry skin (being winter). I so wish my skin didn't react to it because it is a super foundation and definitely lasts a long time!!

unsure of the hype

I bought this foundation as EVERYONE raved about it. I have combination/ oily skin and this product did not look good throughout the day. I found it was quite patchy and very heavy when I had it on, like my skin was not breathing. The application was nice but did not stay as it was throughout the day.

On the upside, the various shades mean the color matched me perfectly and the coverage was good.

Unfortunately, those with oily skin I would not recommend this as this just adds to the oiliness. This is GOOD if your only going out for a short time (not in the heat).

Sitting on the fence

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!

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 :)

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
