Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I bought this foundation after reading many great reviews. I have VERY pale skin so bought the shade "bone" but I found the undertones were still slightly yellow for my liking. The coverage is amazing and FULL but if you are applying with a beauty blender it needs to be barely damp and work in areas or else it drys really fast and ends up cakey. I also didn't like that it really brought out all my little facial hairs. I think this foundation is a great choice for those who want really full coverage, or for a glam night look!

This is the best foundation I have tried, and I have tried alot. What makes it so great is it lasts a longtime on my oily skin. It doesn't look cakey at all which is great if you want to build it up to a full coverage. I can get a full 8 hours out of this before it starts to fade which is awesome. And another bonus is the colour does not oxidize at all.I have sensitive skin and this does not cause any reaction whatsoever.

I love this foundation if you're after a full coverage however I did find it a little cakey and by the end of the day it showed parts of my skin that may have been dry. But overall great foundation.

Love this foundation! My skin tends to lean on the drier side and even though this is a “matte” foundation it works well with my skin and doesn’t dry me out. I just don’t use much powder with it.

While the price tag on this foundation made me baulk initially, it helped that there was a promotion on to get your correct shade and sample the product before purchase. It worked.

I have had a lot of issues with foundations, either the slightly wrong shade, it would run (my skin can get oily as the day goes on) or be cakey. This has none of these problems. With so many shades, my very pale skin has been matched perfectly, and I hardly have to blend into my neckline or by my ears. It's light, creamy, and doesn't look like I have foundation on. It stays on all day as well.

I've never really cared for applicators with foundation as I found that I would use too much, so I like that this does not have one. The product is buildable as well and spreads easily so you use less.

So, even though it is quite a hit on your wallet, I will purchase this again. It is worth it as I have finally found a foundation that addresses my previous concerns.

I used this foundation for YEARS after struggling to find one that would stay on all day. I've reluctantly recently switched foundations after realising I was matched in the wrong shade....it lasts really well on the skin but doesn't make it look cakey. Also don't love that it doesn't have a pump, so it feels pretty messy

This is certainly an indulgence as is quite an expensive purchase but worth every cent!! Cool bone is the colour I use- usually I am a sand beige- it applies beautifully with a matte finish and lasts me all day. I always use with a primer and a setting spray. I apply with a sponge from the back of my hand and find I use less product that other foundations. It is easily buildable too without looking cakey!.

I was just scrolling reading the comments and realised I hadn’t done a review on this. It is after all my favourite beauty product of all time. I’ve got oily/ textured skin and literally every other foundation has started to separate 4 -6 hours after application. I’ve tried a few that are long lasting but either made my rather visible pores look huge or fade once my oils break through. This foundation has been an absolute game changer in my routine. I can use it with any primer and any powder and it still looks amazing 8 hours later. It does need setting with a powder but then it’s locked down without being too matte. I will continue to buy this foundation for as long as I’m able to apply makeup as there is literally nothing further I need in a foundation. The glass bottle looks great and although it can be messy pouring it out it’s not overly runny so nothing that can’t be prevented with a little care.
