Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

This foundation is excellent for a flawless face if you are looking for a full coverage. It literally stays in place all day no matter how oily your skin is. However I have stopped using this foundation as it became too light for my skin over the warmer months, I would have to purchase two shades one for winter and one for summer. Colour matching for olive skin with yellow undertones can be quite tricky.

I've been trailing different foundations over the last few months, and this was second on the list. Recommended to me from numerous people, and I'd read that the foundation that I was using is a dupe for this one.

Hated it! It didn't blend into my skin very well, and I tried numerous different application techniques (fingers, brush, sponge) but to no avail. It looked chalky, clung to any dry spots I had and sat in my creases. I'm almost pleased that I didn't like it though, because at over $80 a bottle it's the most expensive on the list of foundations I'm trying! The colour matched most of my face….except my nose. Never had such an issue before!

My little sister (23) and mum love it though. I'd definitely recommend going in and getting a 10 day sample before investing in a full bottle!

I LOVE this foundation its so amazing! Gives flawless coverage and stays on for hours. I suffer fro the horrid 'shiny nose' lol after a couple hours my nose is shining. This foundation holds it off for an extra couple of hours i only have to touch up once a day i love it.

I LOVE this product, I actually used it while staying at a friends place & i was blown away at the coverage & how flawless it looked. Unfortunately it is out of my price range :(

It is a really good light foundation with perfect coverage without looking cakey, my skin looked so amazing while using this, it blended into my skin well, the color matched perfectly and it stayed put throughout the whole day. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone only because of the price, there are better alternatives out there for less than half the cost of this one and let's be honest: you're not paying so much money for the foundation, you're paying for the name estee lauder.

I have very oily and acne prone skin. This stays on all day and maintains it's matte finish well into the afternoon which is a lot longer than any other foundation I've tried. It hasn't made my acne any worse. A little goes a long way so don't let the price tag scare you away!

Since I bought this foundation a year or so ago my skin has changed and is now a lot more dry - especially on my cheeks where I've started getting eczema-like patches, but still with a somewhat oily t-zone. The Double Wear does NOT sit nicely on the dry bits and I'd almost given up on it when I got some advice from a lovely girl about using a damp sponge (think Beauty Blender) to apply it. I have no words to describe how flawless my skin looks now even with the dryness! Smooth, awesome coverage, not too matte, and stays put aaalll day, even when it's hot/windy/rainy. I love it even more because I don't have to apply heaps of it and it never feels heavy or cakey.

Double Wear has a really decent range of colours too - I've always struggled to find something that suits my olive-ish skin tone but this range has the perfect shade for me!

Fantastic product and I love it, but I just wish it was either a) not so expensive, or b) came in a larger bottle for the same price. I feel like I could get something that's better value for money!

I bought this foundation for its reputation as a long-wearing product. I work a 10+ hour day, and I was finding that by the end of the day my foundation would often become patchy. Doublewear was my solution to this problem and I found that it kept shine and oiliness at bay which is great. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to apply it though - I've been using a stippling brush but it doesn't go on very smoothly. This foundation is also quite expensive, but I think for the staying power it's worth it.

I bought a bottle of this to use as my wedding foundation after the one the makeup artist trialled on me just slid off after an hour! My skin is pretty normal on a day-to-day basis but it goes extremely oily when I'm nervous or stressed for some reason! Your wedding day is definitely a pretty stressful occasion and I knew I needed a long-lasting foundation.

Double wear performed so well on the day, lasting from about 10a.m. to 11p.m., through light rain, tears, and lots of kisses and hugs. I did use a powder over it and touched up once or twice. I was so impressed though. I have never had a foundation last so well.

Overall, I was very impressed and would buy this again despite the fairly hefty price tag.

I love this foundation, it's my new baby!! I got matched to desert beige after the lady at the counter took one look at me, she then put some on my jawline to see if it suited and it was perfect. I got a sample of it and after trying it out for about 2 days I immediately bought it when it was on sale at Farmers (20% off) so I was super happy that I only paid about $64 for it. Desert beige matches me perfectly which I am over the moon about as I always have trouble getting the right shade (unfortunately I am not as tanned as I think I am :( ). Double wear goes on really nicely, it is not heavy like I thought it would be, it is light weight which is great as it doesn't make your face feel caked and heavy. It has great coverage which I consider to be full coverage as it is easily buildable. It has very great lasting power, at the end of the day my skin still looks pretty much flawless. The finish it offers is great, natural semi matte- doesn't make your skin look oily or too dry and it makes your skin look pretty much flawless. I would definitely repurchase though I am not too psyched about the RRP price of it... it is rather expensive but I think it is definitely worth it when you've found the perfect foundation that is just right for you!
