Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

This is actually the best foundation. It covers like it says it will & then it stays in place, even when you get wet.

I have tried two different formulas of the estee lauder double wear - the first has the spf 10 in it, the other does not - the one with the spf in it is the original formula and it has the BEST staying power! it is definitely standing up to its name of staying in place! Takes at least a double cleanse if not more to remove it afterwards. Whereas i have found with the version that does not have the spf in it, it doesn't quite have the same durability - still lasts a long time just not as long and it is easier to remove with cleanser at the end of the day. I think that the new formula - without the spf hasn't yet reached NZ and they are only selling it overseas currently so be aware when buying online whether you are buying the old or new formula.

I have been using this foundation for a number of years. Becus it is so light I wear it most days. My skin tends to be slightly oily but this prouct does not have the midday slippage. Overall the colour range and ablity to blend is a plus.

Love it! I went in store to sample this but ended up buying it :) I have this in 2W2 Rattan. My skin type is oily/combination.

It is about medium coverage and applies to a velvety texture - it feels very light weight . For those with dry skin type, the SA suggested you mix the foundation with a serum type moisturizer (she did this with me as I was a tad dry that day)

The lasting power of this is awesome, I find i'm not as oily (not expecting a miracle) part way through the day and the foundation hasn't "broken down" to a complete mess after a days wear. One thing i do recommend is pairing this foundation with Estee Lauder Illuminating primer (seriously this is the best primer I have come across - check it out). I believe this primer helps with the staying power and also because it is illuminating it helps with this foundation as it may look quite flat/dull.

Remove with cleansing oil/makeup remover, follow up with your regular facial cleanser to prevent clogging of pores/break outs.

After hearing heaps of rave reviews about Estee Lauder's famous Double Wear Foundation, I finally found the opportunity (and budget) to buy it for myself. This foundation is very full coverage and matte in finish, something that took a while for me to get used to, after using mostly medium coverage, dewy foundations in the past. In order to prevent it from feeling too thick on my skin, I'll often mix it with a little moisturiser before applying. This helps with the consistency for me without compromising its staying power. Overall, it's an extremely good foundation, long-wearing, easily blendable and looks great on the skin!

I'm on my third bottle of this bad boy, which has NEVER happened before, so that says a lot!

Double Wear definitely has some spectacular staying power going on (incredibly important for my combination oily skin - even most long wear foundations start sliding off my forehead by late afternoon, but not Double Wear!), and despite being what I would consider a mid to full coverage foundation it's still surprisingly buildable, so when I'm having a rare good skin day I can use a very light hand and get a lovely natural 'barely there' look. Alternatively, you can really build it up for a flawless, airbrushed look for events and parties.

Most days, though, a normal application of the mid-full cover is fantastic for my acne-prone, ruddy skin and evens things out beautifully without sitting heavily on the skin like a lot of fuller coverage foundations do. A lot of them tend to look or feel 'cakey', but I don't find that with the Double Wear at all.

My only lament is that while they have a fantastic range of colours, they just don't quite go yellow enough for my skin tone - but I make it work with some peach toned bronzer on my neck and chest!

I can not rave about this foundation enough! i wear the shade 1N1 and it is a perfect match! i have a lot of redness in my skin and this works amazingly to cover it up! This foundation will not budge throughout the day it is amazing for its longevity, and even on the odd occasion where i fall asleep with my makeup on my base still looks flawless the next morning! i like to apply this with a beauty blender as i find it gives the best finish, i find that i don't even need a setting powder with this foundation! This foundation is supposed to be amazing for oily skinned girls but i have normal to dry skin and i would recommend it to anyone!

My mother loved this foundation and had always said how amazing it was. So i decided that i would try it for myself. I fell in love instantly, I use it everyday now. I have 14 hour day before i even get home, it lasts for most the day without a setting day. I have quite a lot of freckles which i personally like to cover up and it does it so well. It gives me a flawless looking face with minimal effort. It does tend to sink into my pores though and can become a bit patchy after 9 hours or so. But that is just my personal skin type as I get dry patches on my cheeks and under my nose. But overall i love this product, is so worth the money.
