I have tried two different formulas of the estee lauder double wear - the first has the spf 10 in it, the other does not - the one with the spf in it is the original formula and it has the BEST staying power! it is definitely standing up to its name of staying in place! Takes at least a double cleanse if not more to remove it afterwards. Whereas i have found with the version that does not have the spf in it, it doesn't quite have the same durability - still lasts a long time just not as long and it is easier to remove with cleanser at the end of the day. I think that the new formula - without the spf hasn't yet reached NZ and they are only selling it overseas currently so be aware when buying online whether you are buying the old or new formula.

Tips: I love to use the original beauty blender to apply my EL double wear foundation. have a good cleaner to remove this foundation as it has the ability to clog pores and produce acne if it isnt removed properly - double or even triple cleanse to ensure all the foundation has been removed at night before going to bed :)
I am a MAC lover usually but have found that I really need to use a primer, powder and finishing spray to get it to last the whole day. Estee Lauder Double wear really does last ALL day. Lots of shades to choose from so i'm sure one to fit most people. It doesn't rub off and looks flawless.
Tips: I use a makeup brush to apply so i dont waste it absorbing into skin or sponges. I also pour small amounts into a little container and use daily from that as it doesn't come with a pump.
I bought this foundation as EVERYONE raved about it. I have combination/ oily skin and this product did not look good throughout the day. I found it was quite patchy and very heavy when I had it on, like my skin was not breathing. The application was nice but did not stay as it was throughout the day.
On the upside, the various shades mean the color matched me perfectly and the coverage was good.
Unfortunately, those with oily skin I would not recommend this as this just adds to the oiliness. This is GOOD if your only going out for a short time (not in the heat).
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
I had heard of Estée Lauder double wear foundation a few times and heard it was really good! I had wanted it for a long time but was afraid of change. I have now been using this for the past month and I wish I had brought is sooner! This is the most amazing foundation! It has medium coverage which is very build able! It lasts all day and my skin is still looking flawless even after working everyday! It blends well and doesn't make my skin look painted. I use it with the Estée Lauder matte effect primer too so it doesn't stick to my dry patches. I am in love!
Tips: Make sure you get your colour matched by a professional wherever you plan to purchase if you can! I got mine from farmers and they were great!
