Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I had a few issues with this product: First one is that despite there being something like 25 shades, there's just not one that suits me that well (even though I've got a great match in the double wear light range). Secondly, while some people love the matte finish, I feel that it's too drying on my forehead, which I feel accentuates the minor lines I have. Not a hot look. Given these issues, I'd say that I wouldn't repurchase. I would recommend it to a friend on the basis of other people loving it, and it has a wide range of shades. Estee Lauder are very generous with their samples, and that way you can try before you buy.

After using Diorskin foundation for years they stopped making it and I was forced to find a replacement. This was so hard for me but Doublewear was one of the first foundations I was recommended and the second one I tried. Haven't looked back since. I have ivory skin with a yellow tone which is very hard to match but doublewear shade 1N0 is perfect for me Topped with their translucent powder my skin appears flawless and my makeup stays put all day. Top marks from me!

Working in the cabin of a plan is a very dry environment and can be very hot work (sweaty eww not glamorous). This is the only foundation I have found that 1. lasts all day and 2. still looks amazing at end of shift.

I love love love the coverage! I have freckles, some may say cute (NOT), but this is how I judge a good foundation..can it cover my freckles? The answer YES and bonus without looking heavy!

The only thing I didn't like is because it has a matte finish it can get a little dry. Especially if you have fine lines. I feel it does enhance these are the day goes on. So a good setting spray is a MUST.

Amazing range of colours to perfectly match your skin tone. Having warm, neutral and cool tones makes a huge different in finding the perfect match.

This is the best if you need a long wearing full coverage foundation. Lots of colours to choose from so you will easily find your perfect shade

Having used this for the last ten or so years it's always been my go to. You don't need to use much whatsoever, so a little goes a long way and it is 'double long wear' - you can go to work in the morning; go out to dinner; get home and accidentally fall asleep in your makeup then wake up with it still sat there like a trooper the next morning. The only downside is that it tends to be a bit drying in winter and you may have to add some moisturizing serum to it in order for it to stay looking fresh.

This is a makeup staple for me!

I was never one to buy Estee products. At all. But randomly saw this in a sale - and saw it came in a pale shade (sometimes a rarity) - so grabbed it to give it a shot. AND ITS AWESOME!

It provides a decent coverage without feeling cakey. It lasts all day and doesn't feel like its clogging my pores. Most importantly, it comes off with cleanser - nice and easy! It also comes in such a range of shades - fellow pale people, it even goes lighter than the shade I bought!

For once, I can't even think of any negatives! I suppose the only downside would be if you are looking for a full, heavy coverage then this may not be the one for you. But for everyday foundation, this is one awesome option!

Keep an eye on sales - this is not a 'cheap' option and if this above your budget, I find I like my Mac foundation in an equivalent shade just as much.

I absolutely love this foundation! I have tried many many foundations but I just love the look, feel and color of this on me.

I find it gives a really good level of coverage, super easy to apply - I personally like to use a sponge and it is easily buildable without going cakey. I always feel like my skin looks flawless when I wear it. It is a matte formula which is great for oily skin, but best to prep with a primer for drier skin (I tend to have both problems!)

It really stays put once you have it on too, it doesn't rub or sweat off and you still look flawless at the end of the day. But when it comes time to remove the makeup it comes off pretty easily with cleaner and warm water.

The shade range is fantastic too, so many shades to choose from, warm, neutral and cool tones. They will do a colour match for you if you go in store to a counter and there is really something for everyone.

It comes in a nice this glass bottle with a screw on lid, it secures well and I have never had any trouble with leakage while travelling. It would be good if it came with a pump, but you can buy one separately to screw on top if you wanted.

It is on the pricey side, but I think it is well worth it.

This is my go to foundation for everything its a full cover anf last very long.. It applys very easy and looks gr8 i would recomend this to everyone

I love this foundation! Have been using it for about three years and have had no breakouts or issues while using it. I love the full coverage it provides and that it actually stays on day and night. It is easy to apply and drys quickly.
