Well worth the price!!

This is one of the few products thats is definitely worth the quite pricey cost. Before using this , I was a cheap cosmetic purchaser, but am a complete convert now. I suffer with very red cheeks, and this foundation not only covers the red, but stays in place all day, giving a flawless finish all day long. Easy to apply for great coverage.

Tips: Use a brush/ pad to apply as can be quite messy on your hands. Try to time purchases in line with the 'bonus times' - getting a goody bag full of products to try!

Holy Grail

This foundation gives such a beautiful finish to the skin, and such great coverage. I find its best to use a primer and to set it with powder, to ensure absolutely no movement all day. Feels lightweight on the skin, and doesnt look heavy and cakey. It's my go to foundation, and I have recommended it to everyone

Natural great cover

I found this Estée Lauder foundation to be one of my best ever finds. The colour suited my Asian skin and looked very natural. It stayed on well and wasn't greasy like some foundations. The bottle lasted forever even though I use a thin layer every day. I recommend it.

Tips: When getting to the end of the bottle, store it on its side or upside down to get every last drop. Always get a professional or friend to help with the colour because there is nothing worse than buying the wrong colour. Waste of money. It should look like you aren't wearing makeup but it just covers the red spots and imperfections that everyone has.

Goodbye M.A.C! Hello Estee Lauder

I popped into Life Pharmacy to get myself some new skin care and ended up buying from Estee Lauder. I have heard a lot of good things about this foundation so I decided to ask for a sample. WOW. I'm so impressed! A little goes a long way and I'm a full coverage kinda girl. Definately purchasing a full size next time I'm at the mall!

Tips: I still used a powder over top!

Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation?

Easy to apply, long lasting, full coverage, natural looking, but you have to work fast otherwise you cant move the formula once it set.

Best foundation ever!

I have been using this for about 7 years I think and it is my favourite, favourite , favourite foundation ever. It is the only foundation I have found that doesn't melt off or move during the day. It is perfect for my oily skin. I always get asked what foundation I use. It is a good coverage foundation and you need to work quickly to blend it in. I find it best to use your fingertips to apply rather than a brush , as your fingers warm it up making it easier to blend. Nothing compares to this foundation!

holy grail <3

my favourite foundation! i love the finish, even though it is full coverage it feels quite lightweight, i didnt break out or i dont think from it (have a few pimples/acne here and there so i dont know if thats just because or because of this) this shade matches my skin perfectly and i just dont see any flaws in it!

Great Coverage and Colour

I first tried this from the Farmer's Estee Lauder counter where the counter staff gave me a mini make-over. I was not impressed with how much of this product was applied and it put me off trying the sample I'd been given. I have a facial and sweating problem and very few foundations can cope with the profuse wetness on my facial skin. So on a night out I tried and faced with the same problem as always, I used this product, applying it with my fingers rather than a make-up brush (as the assistant had) and I was amazed at the wearability throuhgout the night. It didn't rub off, it didn't slide down or become dull and lifeless, even in a very hot environment. My facial sweating was not a problem to this wonderful foundation. The colour match for my highly pigmented skin was perfect (Pebble) and really minimised the dark patches under my jaw. This is now my go-to foundation but you do need a very good skin cleanser to get it off and a good moisturiser to ensure it doesn't get the cakey, over made-up look. (I have had huge success with Avon's Skin Invention Day Creme) and have received many compliments on how radiant and refreshed i am looking.

Tips: Apply using your fingertips (brushes tend to leave an almost mask like appearance with this foundation) and use a good primer and./or moisturiser. It's crucial you use a heavy duty facial cleanser if you want to fully remove this foundation.

Excellent coverage!

This is one of my favourite foundations. It really delivers on flawless coverage, going on smoothly and my personal shade matches my skin tone better than any other, making my skin look amazing! It also manages to stay looking fresh and flawless all day.

Tips: The cost may put some people off, but it's worth it as you don't need to apply as much product. Mine lasts approx 2 - 3 months.

Holy Grail Foundation!

Estee Lauder Double Wear exceeds ALL of my expectations. I first tried it around 6 months ago when a friend told me that they offer 10 day samples and free colour matching at the pharmacy. I had wanted to try it for a long time and that was the perfect incentive to finally give it a go!

I don't have oily skin but I find that most foundations start to slide off or move around halfway through the day. Even when using a powder over top I could never find anything that lasted ALL day. The closest I came was Revlon Colourstay but even still I was starting to look patchy by mid afternoon.

Double Wear puts all other foundations to shame. The consistency is light and very blend-able yet it covers EVERY imperfection. I no longer need a concealer even when I have breakouts or very dark circles. I apply my foundation with a Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush (the greatest brush EVER made).

Double wear lasts ALL day. Even in hot temperatures and even when my face gets wet & it doesn't transfer onto anything. It still looks the same at night before I wash my face than it does when I apply it first thing in the morning.

I will never use another foundation as long as this one is around. It is well worth the $80 that it costs & Farmers quite often have 10 - 20% off Estee Lauder so grab it then & save yourself some money.

Tips: Use a Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush to apply & set with Australis pressed powder for a super matte & flawless finish.
