Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Didn't think I'd like Double Wear as my skin leans more towards being on the dry side - but if I put a layer of facial moisturiser on before my primer, it gives me the most flawless and long wearing finish of any foundation I've tried. Love this.

LOVE IT This is the only foundation that i have ever worn that has stayed on around my nose and under my nose, usually after an hour or so it peels or rubs off. This lasts so long and love the formula. I did have to get matched twice as the first time the guy matched me to warm bone which was very pink on my skin, but once I found my shade I absolutely loved it. The design is classic and lasting in a glass bottle. The PRICE is pretty ruff being $80 a bottle but it lasts ages and is totally worth considering its an amazing product.

This is my all time favourite foundation. It is natural, has good coverage, slides on and lasts. The foundation is silky and easy to blend into the skin and probably one of the best foundations I have come across to date. It is a little more expensive but worth every cent. I find that the coverage is exceptional and there is no need to use a concealer with this.

I've recently become a convert of DW after reading about it on the forum and doing a bit research. For the last 8 years or so I've always used Napoleon Perdis foundations but I honestly don't think I'll go back to them as this is sooo good.

Packaging wise, it's very plain. I would like to see this foundation have a pump applicator rather than the screw top. It's just a frosted glass bottle, It's quite heavy and think it wouldn't break easily if you were to drop it.

It took me 3 samples to find the correct shade but the lady behind the counter was very accommodating in helping me get the right one.

I find it easier to pour mine out into the sample pot they gave me and apply from there with either my real techniques sponge or a stippling brush.

It's quite thick and creamy but easy to apply with either a brush or sponge (haven't tried my fingers yet) and there is no funny smell either. The only downside to using a sponge is that I seem to use a bit more product that I would with a brush.

The coverage you get is up to you and how you apply it, I find just one coat is enough for normal day to day wear but if you want heavier coverage you can easily build it up.

I don't even bother looking in the mirror at work anymore as I know this is doing its job, it lasts all throughout the day with no touch ups required - I hope I can still say that when summer hits and things heat up as I really like the semi-matte finish you get from this.

I haven't had any problems with my skin reacting to it either, it's tough to remove but it seems as long as you take it off correctly your skin doesn't suffer.

The price tag is quite hefty but I feel for the quality of product you are getting its justified. I also don't need a primer or powder with this so that makes up for it being a bit more expensive I reckon :)

I was a bit hesitant to try this (because it costs an arm and a leg) bu holey moley it was worth every cent! I have son who is two so my usual makeup comes off pretty quickly, however I put DW on this morning at 6am, its now 830pm and my face still looks flawless, im not lying it looks like I have just applied it! I am in love with this miracle foundation! I am a bit concerned at the packaging, its glass, so if I drop this its history, so ill have to take good care of it. It has a good coverage, and definitely build able. The formula is a liquid foundation and they have many shades to choose from. The best foundation I have ever tried and ill definitely buy this again!

This is currently my 'go to' foundation & I just love it. I have to admit that I have never been too keen on the price tags of these type of luxury brand cosmetics but after grabbing a sample size & being so impressed I bit the bullet and got a full sized. Im the shade Ecur and it is a near perfect match for my skin tone. Far better than any previous foundation I have used. The finish is matte but not drying. I find that it blends super easy (I apply with a flat top kabuki brush) but you do have to work quite quickly as it can dry a little faster than some liquids. However what I love best about this product is that it really does stay on all day. Im a serial face rubber during the day but this really wont rub off. The only thing I do find is it can get slightly greasy looking on my forehead later in the day (most likely due to that being the place I rub the most when stressed at work. Also I think it could be a tad more helpful if it was in a pump top bottle instead of just a screw top, but again the frosted glass bottle & gold coloured cap still makes it appear elegant. All in all I would happily pay for this time & again because for once I have really found something worth the price.

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

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!

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!

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!
