Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

For such an expensive product I love it. I recently just brought it an it covers my face so well ! I don't need to extra punnet of powder to set of or make it look more suttle because it blends in so damn well and I am amazed at what it can do. It last a lot longer than my other foundations have and I've only recently brought it. Perfect.

This foundation gives a comprehensive, matte finish and lasts all day.

Before using this product I recommend getting a colour test to ensure you have the right colour for your skin tone. I have pale, sensitive skin and it has taken a bit of work to get the colour right. Thankfully the makeup counters sent me home with a few test pots!

The product goes on quite thick and isn't very moisturising, so applying a good moisturiser underneath is essential for drier skin like mine.

Finishing with a powder helps the look last longer.

The product comes in a glass bottle and has quite a wide opening. I prefer to put a little on the back of my hand and apply gradually as the foundation is quite thick. Best applied with a sponge/brush then touched up with fingers.

This product really is good bang for your buck - I wear makeup most days and a bottle can last at least six months. I also recommend getting the double wear concealer to complement this purchase.

For a long time now, I have relied heavily on this foundation for long wear and good coverage. While I'm a bit disappointed with their change in formula (the old double wear was way better), I still use this one (in toasty toffee). The foundation stays on pretty well, if applied properly. This usually means starting with a good skin care routine, allowing the moisturiser to settle, before quickly and evenly applying the foundation and blending it well. It provides some SPF, 15 I think, which is good for day to day use. I think this product is particularly awesome for travelling long haul. Even though it might be drying as heck, it stays on throughout the flight, and all you need to do once you hope off the plane, is to have a glass of water, apply some clear eyes, a touch of blusher or bronzer and voila! its like you've just applied your make up. Really good planning ahead, just in case you fall asleep and DON'T want your foundation to move/ rub off. Speaking of which, you might need an oil based make up remover to get this off. Otherwise, its a double cleansing routine with a strong foam. Highly recommend this product for those of you who like your foundation to stay on!

I love this foundation. It has really nice coverage and it's not too heavy. I would definitely recommend to someone who likes a creamy textured foundation. Partner it up with a good setting powder and it's beautiful!

I went to the pharmacy and got my free sample and have completely fallen inlove with this foundation. It gives such even coverage and blends so easy with my real techniques buffing brush. Last all day without any touch ups. Will be saving up to get the fullsize foundation, something I need in my life.

I have so many freckles and although i don't mind them sometimes I still want something to cover them up, this was GREAT! My skin is being super sensitive and i have tried 5 other foundations that made me explode in pimples so i stopped wearing foundation for awhile until I got a sample of this double wear. Personally I don't wear a primer and it stayed on just fine. Off to buy it tomorrow!

I love this foundation for when I'm going out at night time! Especially as it's full coverage, covering all my acne and freckles amazingly! It lasts a long time without any oily patches anywhere unlike alot of other foundations on me, great colour selection! Quite pricey though so use sparingly! (Although you never need much anyway)

This product does exactly what it says it will do. I've always struggled with foundations rubbing off on my clothing and this foundation really stays put. It's definitely on the pricey side, but well worth the money if you're looking for a foundation that will stay on all day with no touch ups, then definitely invest.

I absolutely love this foundation! I don't use it everyday as I do find it is quite heavy, so it's perfect for a night out!

I really love this foundation. It goes on flawlessly and the coverage is amazing. I would definitely recommend it. Thanks to everyone on the makeup obsessives Facebook page for introducing me to this amazing product!!!
