Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I've recently started using this foundation again after a hiatus of a few years and I'm really glad I did!

I have dry skin, so I generally prefer a more hydrating foundation with a dewy-er finish, however my workplace is HOT and I needed something that would survive the heat this summer, so I went back to Doublewear. For a more natural look, but still with great coverage I find 1 layer enough, but is easy to build up for full coverage.

This foundation is very matte, and it lasts forever! I just finished a 9 hour shift and it still looks great, doesn't crack around my nose like most foundations do.

Packaging is a nice glass bottle, however it does not come with a pump (can purchase separately for $15) which is kinda annoying since the price has gone up to $72 as well.

I purchased this for my recent wedding after recommendations from friends and after reading reviews on here.

The foundation comes in a glass rectangular bottle which unfortunately does not have a pump. I have been told that you can pay extra for a pump but due to the large cost already I decided not to go with it.

My skin is combination with a mix of oily and dry patches. I used a sponge to apply this and found it was a nice Matt finish. I applied a layer to my skin with the sponge and found that one layer was enough and that I didn’t have to build it up at all. The make up lasted all throughout the day and did not rub off onto my dress or fade away during the day. I did not have to top up my foundation during the day and found that my skin was nice and flawless in the photos. My skin was not shiny or uneven.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a long lasting and full coverage from there foundation.

After trying multiple brands I have found my holy grail. I have acne scarred skin so I require a matte full coverage foundation. Unfortunately for me I do not like the cake look so a lot of foundations I tried in the past made me look like a porcelain doll with cracks. Then I discovered this foundation. Medium - full coverage which is light and silky. It moves with my skin and doesnt give the cakey look. Once dried putting powder over top is just a breeze and the foundation does what it says - lasts all day!

I have been using this foundation for a few years now and I can not find anything better, I love this foundation. This is one of the only foundations I have found that does exactly what it says. It has amazing coverage, covering all my imperfections. Applies beautifully and lasts the day, no need to reapply at any point of the day or night.

A small amount goes a long way and covers the whole face

Once this stuff is on your face its not going anywhere, its got your back. You can sweat, cry, get caught in a storm, rub your face, try on 100 white turtleneck sweaters - still gonna be there.

The consistency is not too thick, fairly runny - which makes it super easy to apply, and buildable (although it is necessary to work quickly with this!). Its described as medium coverage, but for me, its quite full - I find this can erase my whole face with just one layer. amazing.

The longest I have ever worn this is about 18 hours and it was still looking pretty fab by the end of it - it's matte but not flat, and it never separated on my chin, or stuck to dry patches like other foundations normally would,

This is honestly one of the best foundations i have ever tried. i have combination skin and tend to get oily in my tzone during the day. With most foundations it shows through but with this one I never have to powder my tzone. Has medium coverage but can be built up with layering.
