I work in a hair salon and this has been the only foundation that has worked so well so far, it doesn't move at all, I can even shower and not get my face wet and it looks good still even from all of the humidity. It lasts about 6 months for a bottle for me using it everyday, it's great!

Tips: I find using a beauty blender dampened or a sponge to apply, when I apply with a brush it goes streaky but I get a really nice Finnish with a sponge :)
I am a total mineral foundation addict and generally stay away from liquid foundations. I love the way minerals make my skin look.
However I really wanted to try something totally different and I kept seeing the ads everywhere for Estee Lauder double wear and thought letās give it a whirl!. I am really pleased I did. I was a little worried that this would be too heavy for my skin and cause problems ā I have quite sensitive skin and its prone to over-reacting to new products.
I went and got myself colour-matched as I didnāt think I could trust myself to get this right and ended up with the shade Sand.
I do love the glass bottle that it comes in its a lot more elegant than the foundations im used to however I didnāt like that there is no pump so you just have to pour out the foundation you need ā but im no stranger to sometimes messy foundation applications ! ļ/
I started with my usual routine, moisturiser followed by primer and then applied the Estee Lauder double wear with a foundation brush. I poured a little bit of foundation onto the back of my hand and used the foundation brush to apply. I worked on a side of my face at a time as it does set quite quickly. At first I thought it was going to be too heavy and look to made up but I was pleasantly surprised. The colour was actually a perfect match for my skin and working in little sections of my face at a time and quickly blending achieved a flawless finish. I consider this a medium-full coverage ( I personally think moving more towards full coverage) and finishes to a matte type finish. I was very pleasantly surprised how this turned out my skin it looked clean fresh flawless but I donāt feel it looked cakey and it didnāt show up any dry patches or imperfections. It didnāt cause any irritation and it didnāt feel tight or anything on my face like wearing a mask. I didnāt even use any concealer with this so was very pleasantly surprised.
It wore impressively well, my whole work day and then some easily. I love the wear on this and it still looks just as good at the end of the day as it does at the beginning.
The only downside to this for me is the removal required a bit more effort than Iām used to with the mineral foundations but the proās far outweighed this one con for me so this is definately my new holy grail product.
Ugh where do I even start!! This is the most amazing foundation I have ever used. The staying power is ammmmazing gives such a flawless look!!! And it lasts me ages as you don't need to apply much for full coverage! I recommend this to everyone! Only downside is trying to get it off!
Tips: I find using a foundation brush to apply doesn't work so I use my fingers (naughty I know) or a beauty blender. Also getting it off its hard but I've found using the simple milliclear water works well!!
This product is High coverage and long lasting. I was astonished how it lasted through anything including sweat rain and wind and didn't budge at all (Even when i didn't wear primer!) But of course there are some minor downsides, if you have dry skin it will cling to that area and make it slightly more obvious. And also it smells like paint. But it is an amazing product, it does what it says it will and there is quite a good range of colour.
Tips: Ask for a tester first to see if it is right for you skin! Also look after your skin to get full benefits from this product, exfoliate, cleanse and moisturise before you apply double wear and you will get amazing results i promise! Also at the end of the day make sure you remove properly (Its a little bit harder to remove than normal foundations!)
I'm addicted to this foundation I'm a big fan of the full coverage makeup look without it over clogging into my skin too much ,you are also able to set with powder and bronze without it becoming to much, I feel this product dose me better justice then my MAC prolong wear, it is fast drying so a quick application is required with the double wear, If you have a big problem with freckles/pores like myself this is your best friend.
Tips: a great skin cleaning routine is to be used along double wear with it being a fuller coverage product
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.
Tips: Use a primer so it will last longer.
Isnt it wonderful when you finally find what you have been looking for. I got a 7day free sample from the Estee Lauder counter a while ago and have never looked back. I use a primer first then this foundation goes on effortlessly. I use my fingers as I havent had any success with brushes but it still looks awesome. It gives great coverage and lasts all day. I dont finish work until 6.30pm and I am happy with the way it stays in place. I do have to do a good job at cleansing my face at night but thats a good thing. My perfect colour match is Pebble. I went to 2 different stores and they both picked the same colour for me.
BEST FULL COVERAGE FOUNDATION I have ever come across!
Just to emphasise how incredible this foundation is - I will give you an example. 36 degree weather in Sydney + humidity + a party bus + a 14 hour day usually is not a good sign. BUT, praise Estee Lauder because they have made the most durable foundation in the world.
I prepped my face with my moisturiser and Mac stobe cream and then poured the tiniest amount of foundation onto my hand then stroked the foundation on my face and blended blended blended away with my beauty blender. Once I was done, my skin looked amazing and flawless (with only about a pea sized amount of foundation). As i used the Mac strobe cream as well, it gave the foundation a slight glow to it which you usually dont get when wearing the foundation alone, as it is quite matte.
Not only did it last 14+ hours in the Sydney heat, it felt comfortable, remained looking amazing and didn't budge after dancing for hours. I was so amazing by it!!
The product itself comes in a standard glass (i think) bottle with no pump so it must be purchased separately, but i use it without the pump. The texture of the product is thicker than most foundations and contains spf, but does not leave a ghostly cast in photography. It blends easily and it definitely buildable so you could use the tiniest amount for normal day wear as well
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a good, high end and amazing quality product!!
Tips: I had to get colour matched 3 times before I got the colour right! If you can, ask for a sample before you buy and test the foundation out in different lightings to make sure it matches you!
This foundation is incredible! When I had acne this was the only one that would cover everything up while still looking amazing. It is a medium-consistency, buildable coverage foundation that stays put until you take it off. It will withstand sun, sweat and tears and still look flawless and natural. There is no need for touchups at all. It will last all day and all night if you want it to. The colour was perfect for me. With a lot of other brands of foundation I find the colours are either too pink or too yellow for me because my skin tone is classed as 'neutral' rather than warm or cool, but this came in my ideal shade. If you have oily skin in particular then this is the foundation for you because you won't end up shiny by the end of the day. It has a slightly matte finish. It is expensive but a little goes a long way and I think it's money very well spent.
Tips: For an airbrushed, flawless effect I use a MAC 187 brush to first stipple (dab) it all over my face and then swirl the brush over my face. I work fairly fast so it doesn't set before I'm finished.
I currently have a tester of this foundation which I am defiantly going to buy! I like to use this makeup for going out at night as I know it will stay in and look great. I have a mildly oily face but with this product it doesn't seen to show any signs of oil or shine. Defiantly recommend to all!
Tips: Use a good quality make up remover for this product as it doesn't like to come off
