IT'S OKAY!

The hype for this foundation was crraaazzzzyyyy, so I decided to join in with the other and tried it out.

Would I use it again? I probably won't use it again. I still have my first bottle and its only half, its been like 6months now. This is because the matte finish that it give, brought alot of the dryness of my skin out. It made the dry patches on my face appear more.

-It did say, what it said it would which is amazing

-I would recommend this to a friend who doesn't have dry skin.

Tips: Use a small amount and start to build it up, so that it does not look cakey.

Great but too dark

Ah the woes of being pale as a ghost! One of my constant troubles is there are about 2 foundations that suit my skintone and they happen to be asian bb creams that are extremely expensive here. When I saw Estee Lauder run the free 1 week sample promotion for this I thought I'd try my luck. So I went instore and a lovely lady matched my up with the lightest shade. I think it must've been the slightly yellow lighting instore but when I got home and looked at myself I saw a really yellow patch on my otherwise slightly rose but otherwise white face. I was however really impressed with the staying power, this really does live up to its name for longitivity. I have tried having a full face of this a couple times and it doesn't look too bad, as long as I blend down to my neck. Really wished they made a lighter shade because then I'd definitely go buy this!

I wish they made a lighter shade! I use this when I have fake tan on and it's my absolute fave foundation, but the lightest shade is still too dark for my natural skin tone. :(

Yes! The lights around the station were so yellow! It wasnt a very 'clear' light at all. But that might just be their ploy to make it look better

I agree, my first test pot was much darker once I saw myself in regular light. I went back and brought along my regular foundation and was told it was too light for me (it's not), so I blame the yellow lighting in store! I blend two shades.

Love it. Hate it

Love it - really great staying power, stays put until I wash it off at night. Nice finish on the skin compared to other brands I've tried. Hate it - no pump, I never get the same amount and waste product dripping down the bottle. It is hard to apply, currently I use a stippling brush, then pat over with a damp beauty blender, which is really to much work in the morning. It also sinks into my pores. But for the saying power and ability to keep the shine (mostly) under control would repurchase.

Tips: It took four "consultations" at different counters to find a match. Don't settle on the colour if you are not happy with it.

Best coverage

I love this foundation, it's become my every day go to liquid foundation. I work 11 hour shifts and this is the only foundation I have tried that stays on throughout the day with the least issues. The colour matching is pretty easy, I find they have a good range of colours. The only issue I have with it is when I try to put a light under eye concealer on top of it (or any other liquid/cream product on top) it goes patchy and leaves me with foundation was spots.

Tips: Try to use any other liquid/cream products underneath the foundation. Head into farmers for a colour match but ask for a sample of maybe 2 colours so you can go away and see what they're like under natural lighting.

Love it

This is one of the only foundations I have found that actually stays on and does what it says.

I've used it for a couple of years and recently tried a different preduction. Won't be doing that again, will be sticking with Estee Lauder from now on.

It gives a great coverage that dosent look cakey or blotchy. And it stays.

Only downfall is it doesn't have a pump or anything so you have to tip the bottle to get it out, easy to waste it that way, but if you are careful you won't.

Tips: Using a proper foundation brush helps it go on bettter and stay for longer.

Flawless skin

I found this product fantastic for use on oily skin. I have large dark freckles on my face and with enough building I am able to cover them, however I found it to be a very heavy foundation. It was also hard to colour match to my skin, especially in the winter when I'm paler. It goes on great with a BB or a brush, and doesn't transfer or shift. Would use again!

Long wearing foundation

This foundation does what it says - it lasts on your skin all day. It is a nice foundation to apply, I use a foundation brush and find it has good coverage - it is on the denser side of liquid (I mean it isn't runny). For the great coverage and long lasting wear does come with the problem of removal at the end of the day. So you do need to invest in a cleanser that will remove all traces off your skin. There are some good ones out there and Estée Lauder do make one that works well with this foundation. Love the product and are still using even though the price tag is higher than what I would normally spend on foundation.

Tips: As above a good cleanser to remove at the end of the day

Best I've found

I've been using Estee Lauder Doublewear for 12 years. It provides the best coverage for my acne scarred skin. As I've aged (now 36), it continues to cover and blend the best out of all I've tried. I've tried a few other cheaper foundations over the years, but they either become see-through after a few hours, or change colour. Doublewear doesn't change, stays on for 12+ hours. Although I do find myself blotting the T-zone after about 4 hours, but that ok with me. I also carry a cover stick for around the nose after 8 hours. Also, I have had to put extra moisturiser on, especially during winter when my skin is very dry, I've found this as I've aged - Doublewear can be very drying, especially around the eyes, so a good eye cream is critical. A good primer is important too, as it smooths the Doublewear on easily. Hence only 4 stars.

Love this !

This foundation is great ! A small bit goes a very long way and it has great coverage. It dries semi matte and is a bit thick but once use could probably last a couple of days. It causes breakouts if it isn't washed off correctly (you'll need more than just a makeup wipe). You'll also need a good moisturiser as I have found this makes my skin really dry but otherwise I think it's great. I have recommended it to my sister and she has had great results with it aswell !

Tips: Be careful of which setting spray/powder you use as some of them make it look a bit cakey.
