Impressed

I recently was given some Doublewear as a gift, I'd been meaning to buy some for ages but was hesitant to spend so much money on a little bottle of foundation. The bottle itself is really cute and classy, not as handy as a pump bottle but the formula is thin enough that it's easy to get out, even if there's only a little bit left. I've found it quite difficult to find a foundation that gives me a good amount of coverage without drying out my T-zone, even with moisturizer. Luckily this didn't seem to be a problem with Doublewear, I applied it over a primer and it evened out my complexion without looking cakey, and with no hint of dryness/settling into pores. It does tend to stick to 'peach fuzz' a little bit so you need to apply it carefully, but it's definitely my favourite foundation so far. You also don't need to use a lot of product to get a good result, so even though it's more expensive than drugstore foundation it lasts a long while. I will probably buy the full-coverage Doublewear when my current bottle runs out, as I tend to only use it on nights out or special events when I want my skin to perfect.

Tips: Use a primer! Estee Lauder makes lovely primers to go with this foundation, and they last a long time.

trusted an true

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.

Tips: Get the makeup technicans at the beauty counter demonstrate how to apply this foundation. Estee Lauder has just put out a brush for applying foundation, easy to use with this foundation.

Conflicted...

The staying power of this foundation is immaculate! However I have a few criticisms... If you want a fuller coverage you will need a couple of applications around redness and blemishes, and it can stick to peach fuzz quite a bit. Other than that it's amazing for oilier skin, would not recommend for dry skin though.

I have some dry patches on my face and I think it works fine. I guess a moisturizer before hand is always a good option. Just give the moisturizer a little time to soak in or your foundation may ball up, depending.

Mixed feelings

I like the formula as I love to hide my freckles and it give good coverage I've tried two shades (one at department store) and it was very yellow which I wasn't a fan of and still trying to figure out what my proper shade is sadly, super long lasting which I love as well!!

Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation

This foundation is really good, its consistency is quite thick and it provides really good coverage. It lasts all day long which is great. I found that it made my skin very dry and also broke my skin out which unfortunately put me off using this foundation. It also requires a lot of make up remover to get this foundation off as well.

Dries awkwardly

I like a lot of things about this foundation - it has great coverage, blends really well and easily and stays on all day. There are a lot of choices in colour, as well, so you can be matched to a shade really close to your own. The only downside is that it slips into the dry places on my skin (around my nose and eyes) and makes my skin look even drier.

Tips: If you have dry skin, use a strong moisturizer before you apply it (sometimes I even put it on over the foundation).

Luxury Product

I purchased this foundation after numerous ravings on makeup obsessives. I LOVE it!!! It's very expensive about $80 so I save it for special occasions most of the time. It matches my skin tone, stays flawless without touch ups til night time!!! I love the full coverage it gives me as I have a few imperfections :) I love it so much that I've convinced a few friends to purchase it too :)

Tips: You don't need a lot! A little goes a long way.

Does what it says but too much for me

I was recommended this foundation by so many people as a holy grail type foundation. It has amazing coverage and stays put all day, but the coverage is just too much more me. I feel a bit cake faced with it on and I feel like it emphasises all the tiny hairs on my face. I also felt like my face cracked slightly through the day, but it only felt that way there were no visible signs of the cracking.

Tips: If you are looking for a little less coverage try double wear light. You also need a good remover to get this off.

Wall filler for your face - In a good way!

Double wear hands down is the best long wearing/staying in place foundation there is. Theres nothing on the market like it! its a very versatile foundation, although people say its full coverage which yes it is, its also a build-able foundation too. I don't personally like a heavy look in the day time so i just apply one layer and it covers without looking too heavy. The bottle is handy too if you don't use all the product you can just scope the rest back into the bottle.. Its too precious to waste!

Tips: Always use a moisturiser underneath, and a primer definalty helps. Don't apply it around your eye area, use the double wear concealer or any other concealer. You need a good make up remover to take this off, the Estee Lauder take it away is designed to take double wear off. Its not photo friendly, so if you have pictures with it on (especially with the flash on) you will get a white face in pics. To avoid this use the double wear powder on top or mix double wear with an illuminator. And lastly, when you are happy with the coverage of double wear leave it, once its dried its dried, if you try to apply more foundation over the top it will separate and you'll have to start all over again.

Amazing coverage!!!

I love this foundation ALOT! It is great full coverage and long lasting. The downside to it was it made me breakout, however that is with everyday use so now its my going out foundation. Super hard to get off completly and is very sticky so takes quite a few washes and LOTS of coconut oil, otherwise i think its FAB :)

Tips: Coconut oil was the best at completly removing this make up
