Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I purchased this when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding. I had read all the reviews and took in account that on the day I would most likely be to busy 'celebrating' to bother with any major touch ups etc. It when on beautifully and I was impressed (although I suspect I was incorrectly colour matched...but that's another story) it had the best coverage of any foundation I've used thus far. It stayed on all night long even through standing around in the heat all day, dancing and even the dreaded 'wine drinkers glow' so there I was congratulating myself on such a good purchase. However when it came time to take it off I had to use makeup remover and cleanser and everything else I had at my disposal. And also I have used it since a few times and found my skin looks a wee bit dry. And I found it gave me the tiniest of breakouts along my forehead.

I bought this when I wanted a full coverage foundation, and it did exactly what it said, however I have normal skin and it cracked and dried my skin out and made it feel cakey! Not an everyday foundation for me as it's difficult to remove also and I feel it clogs my pores but if you want a flawless long wearing foundation this is perfect!

I bought this foundation originally because my mum used it, and at the time she had nothing bad to say about it. I can honestly say I won't be buying this foundation again. It certainly lives up to its name of double-wear and stay in place foundation! It stayed on all day plus more! It took me a lot of scrubbing to get this stuff off and even once i had my pores still felt clogged. I also found the coverage to be too heavy for my liking and very cakey looking. I also had problems with it drying my skin out. Very disappointing!!

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.

I can't say that i own this personally but i will admit to sneakily 'borrowing' my flatmates every now and then! I first used this when Estee Lauder were advertising their 10-day trial. This foundation stays on ALL day. No lies. You can wear this all day, go to the gym, sweat and it will not budge. Honest. It gives such a flawless complexion and doesn't look cakey if applied right. If only this wasn't so expensive I would be using this every day!

I had to , HAD TO purchase this "go to" foundation after seeing so much positive feed back about it. I have always had a slight problem with makeup not staying putt and melting off my face half way through the day or becoming patchy and uneven in certain areas ESPECIALLY LIQUID, so I took a risk buying DW, annnnnd it disappointed me, it would look good for about an hour after it began to get patchy and oily. Its as hard as it is to put on to take off , after wearing it for a couple of days ( in hope it would just work) I began to break out, with red an rash looking bumps around my chin and cheeks . I am so glad this foundation has saved some of your beauties face days , but it just didn't work for me :(

I absolutely adore this foundation! It is truly full coverage and long lasting... so long lasting that it's a pain to remove! There is a whole range of colours, and you can get matched at your nearest counter.. Though, when you do, make sure to get a sample just to ensure you are getting the right colour, and that it works well with your skin because everyone is different! :) personally, I got matched to 3 different shades at 3 different counters and I chose which one I liked best haha for the amount your paying, you need to make sure it's peeerrrfect ;)

I'm in love! I have really oily skin, no matter if I prime or not my makeup nearly always slides off. This product does not! It stays in place all day, it controls the oil and stays matte (if I've added powder) all day/night. The product itself is quite runny, so I use the palm of my hand to hold the product before I place it onto my skin. You don't need a lot, so if you're like me and switch between foundation and BB/CC cream then it will last for months! The foundations blends out so well, and with medium to full coverage I've found I'm not needed as much concealer on those pesky spots. I've also found that although it sinks into my gigantic pores it does not into my fine lines around my eyes. This is a perfect foundation for anyone... I can't recommend this enough.

To be very honest, I was never interested in this foundation when all the hype and frantic behaviour started because it was just another over-priced foundation in my eyes. "Its just going to break me out like all others do and make my acne worse" were my thoughts.

Well stay tuned for the revelation!

I decided what the heck and went to get colour matched in the hope it would do for me what its been doing for so many others. Magic!

I think the consultant felt sorry for me looking at my face because I walked away with much more than 10days worth of a sample. After using it just once... wow... instance difference in my skin and that full coverage!

I prime my face with ELF primer just ever so lightly because I have really oily skin and then I apply the foundation with my fingertips. No I'm not uncivilized to not use makeup brushes, my acne doesnt allow me to get a flawless finish with brushes.

The foundation dries and sets really quickly so I have to work fairly fast to smooth it onto my face. I use to wear about 3 layers of foundation to cover my pimples and scarring but with DW I only need one decent layer applied evenly, and then any areas that havent been covered I apply another layer and blend it in. I find that eventhough DW dries and sets pretty quickly it really adaptable when you want to apply more layers because its blends beautifully.

I proceeded to bankrupt myself and purchase this and will be using this for the rest of time! I love the smell of DW, I love the creamy smoothness of foundation during application and I LOVE that is stays glued to you face the entire day. Not even a shower will make it budge. The best part is that is doesnt break me out and I've been getting the most amazing compliments about my skin because people dont understand what happened. I have never received compliments about my face, ever! One day I just appeared with almost perfect skin.

I recommend this from the bottom of soul to girls who are struggling with acne, scarring and low self-esteem due to being shy about their acne. DW has given me a new confidence about my self and not I'm not constantly checking my makeup to ensure it hasnt melted away. Just apply and forget about it!

Having problem skin, bumps and lumps and lines and pimples i was a bit worried this product would be a bit thick and wrong for my skin. I couldnt be more wrong! There are sooo many shades there is bound to be something perfect for every skin colour! It lasts a long time as only a small amount is needed and gives a complete full coverage. It is also very light wearing. Been using this product for a month or so now daily and was so thrilled with the products performance I purchased a full bottle before my sample was finished. I love not having to do touch ups!
