Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation

Used to use Mac Pro-long wear foundation. This is amazing. I have really bad acne and scaring and this covers it all up. It does take quite a while to dry up but if you decide to bake with loose powder then you don't need to worry about the foundation drying up. I don't think I can go out without using this foundation. Full and matte coverage. Only problem is that there isn't a pump so when I put it out onto my hand I sometimes tend to pour out too much product which is a waste, however now after a while of using it I can (slightly) control how much I pour into my hand. Overall amazing product and would definitely recommend it for someone who wants a full coverage without looking valet ad instead looking natural. I've also had a lot of compliments on how good my skin looks. Little do they know my skin under is really bad lol

Must have

This foundation is worth every cent. I purchased my first bottle about 2 months ago and will be sticking with it.. the shade is perfect for my skin tone, it has great coverage and it lasts all day, even with my very oily/combination skin. Lack of a pump doesn't bother me. The consistency is thicker than other liquid foundations I have used, but those other foundations don't last all day like this does. Awesome product. Highly recommend.

Love this foundation!!!

This foundation would have to be one of my holy grail high end foundations. I love the way it looks on my skin, how easy it is to blend out and that it defiantly lasts all day for me and I have combination skin. It does get slightly oily in my T-zone area but not as much as my other foundations. Its around medium-full coverage and you can build it up without your foundation looking to cakey or heavy which I like personally, the only thing I dont like about the foundation is that it doesnt come with a pump which bothers me as the foundation does come running out quite fast so you will have excess product on your hand.

Tips: Try to pour out the foundation very slowly as it is quite runny or you can use clean cotton tips to scoop the product out of the bottle.

Love it

This is one of the only foundations I have found that actually stays on and does what it says.

I've used it for a couple of years and recently tried a different preduction. Won't be doing that again, will be sticking with Estee Lauder from now on.

It gives a great coverage that dosent look cakey or blotchy. And it stays.

Only downfall is it doesn't have a pump or anything so you have to tip the bottle to get it out, easy to waste it that way, but if you are careful you won't.

Tips: Using a proper foundation brush helps it go on bettter and stay for longer.

Double wear

In all honesty, I only brought this foundation due to all of the hype around it! I'm obsessed with full coverage foundations, so the idea of that combined with a formula that claimed to last like no other sold me instantly. I got shade matched to the shade 'Ecru'. I took a sample home and tried it first, and it was way too dark for me. However, I purchased it anyway as it was a close enough match for when I was fake tanned. However when I went shopping a second time for a paler shade, I learnt pretty quickly that their shade range (at least in NZ) is terrible. Even the lightest shade was too dark for me, and I'm not exactly casper white either. The shades are quite orange/pink toned which just didn't work with my naturally yellow toned skin. However, the actual foundation itself I love. They weren't messing around with the staying power of this foundation, it's serious! I have cried, fallen asleep, and been in the rain in this foundation and it just doesn't budge. The coverage is a good 9/10 and covers all my redness without issue. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin, but it can look a bit cakey if you use too much product or don't blend it properly. I use a Sigma F82 brush to blend this foundation as it's super dense and can really buff it into my skin. Overall it's a great foundation and stays true to it's claims, I just wish the shade range were better!

Tips: Blend blend blend!

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place

The bottle is sleek and feels expensive. Its full coverage with a great range of colours. It definitely stays on all day and night long, which is why I personally only use this foundation for special occasions. If skin isn't prepped before hand (moisturized) it can feel a little dry on the face and cling to dry patches. Leaves the skin feeling smooth and silky.

Tips: Clean face and moisturizer before applying for a flawless finish

Holy grail foundation

I absolutely love this foundation. Out of everything I have used this is my go to, I know that it will look flawless every time whether using a beauty blender or make up brush. Love the full coverage it gives and there are two different shades (ecru and sand) that suit me perfectly which is so handy in case one shade is sold out I know that I can get the other one :)

Doesn't live up to the hype but it's ok!

I do like this foundation; it is full coverage and it lasts all day, but I found it too heavy and cakey for my preference, and due to being so thick I found it hard to blend out. I do have dry skin which could be a factor, I just prefer dewy medium coverage foundation

Tips: Probably good for oily skin

OMG

This foundation is holy grail stuff. Does everything it says it does. I have combo skin,redness that gets oily though out the day. this foundation doesn't even look cakey,oily or patchy after wearing it for 9 to 10 hrs my skin still looks as flawless as when I first applied the foundation.

Tips: A little goes a long way. I had a trial size lasted a week of every day use

Flawless skin

I found this product fantastic for use on oily skin. I have large dark freckles on my face and with enough building I am able to cover them, however I found it to be a very heavy foundation. It was also hard to colour match to my skin, especially in the winter when I'm paler. It goes on great with a BB or a brush, and doesn't transfer or shift. Would use again!
