Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

This foundation was a definite holy grail foundation especially during my late 20s and early 30s. Gives amazing full coverage, that made my skin look flawless. Depending on your skin prep and the/ or if you use primers will depend on the finish. I paired this foundation up with the Smashbox photo finish pore minimizing primer and loved the matte finish. Definitely worth the money. Only reason why I have given it a 3/5 for would I use it again is because now I'm nearly entering my 40s, my skin has changed and so has my preference of makeup application.

PROS: - its available in over 60 shades across cool, neutral and warm undertones. - its a medium to build-able full coverage - semi matte - works well with a brush or sponge - wears well throughout the day/ night

Cons: - the packaging, love the bottle but the fact you have to purchase the pump separate is a huge thumbs down - Invest time and/ or money into your skincare and primers, this foundation does like to accentuate dry areas. So you may need to up your hydration.

This product is amazing

Great coverage A small amount goes a long way.

For me the price point is too high to use it often. but is worth it for a nice foundation

After using a few different professional brands, I still wasn't satisfied with the coverage and the longevity of the product.

On my maiden voyage, setting sail to find the holy grail of foundation, I found reviews for this foundation. Uses were praising the coverage, how long it lasted and rejoicing in finding a foundation that was buildable AND flawless.

I had to try it.

I took off to the local stockiest who swathed me with different shades until we agreed on the correct shade. I was thrilled.

This is the best foundation I have ever used in my LIFE. The coverage is amazing - a little goes a long way. The best part is that you can touch your face and the foundation doesn't come away. It sticks like gum in your hair. At the end of the day the product is still flawless, albeit a little worse for wear around the nose.

The price is a little bit up there but I fully believe it was worth every cent. I also walked away with a little gift with purchase which included a small mascara which now lives in my car for those touch-up moments. Don't underestimate the usefulness of those little trial products.

This foundation is great for coverage and long wear. It’s definitely NOT a foundation for your everyday minimal/ fresh coverage gals out there! I find it similar to Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. It’s very matte and once dried- it’s heckin plastered there until you decide to take it off! It is expensive if you are using every day and power through it. Other than that, it does what it claims to do. Great for bridal or special events for photos being taken.

It’s taken many many years of trialling foundations. From liquid, to pancake, to powder and everything in between.

From the cheapest of the cheap, to the luxury brand’s. I’ve lost count on how many I’ve used!!!

And then about 3-4 years ago I found this foundation. It does everything it promises and more. It stays put for hours and leaves a beautiful dewy finish. It’s also incredibly versatile. Apply sparingly for a light finish, or build it up for maximum coverage

I'm going against the grain here, but Double Wear didn't work for me. It's very high coverage and I found even though I applied very little, it emphasised my dry patches. It also tended to look a bit cakey on me, especially once I set it with a light layer of powder. It's also very expensive with a lot of hype, so I expected it to look better. I stick with my Colourpop tinted moisturiser nowadays.

I've been using Estee Lauder double wear (Fresco) for 8 years now after my Mum introduced me to it. I haven't purchased any other brands of foundation since! The coverage is perfect and hides imperfections and fine lines with ease. It is easy to apply, not sticky and the consistency is light, lasting all day and night without having to reapply. Although pricey it is absolutely worth it, 1 bottle will last me at least 6 months as a little goes a long way. In my opinion it is the best on the market.

I love this foundation. It’s my go to going out one, and I haven’t ever found anything that’s as good and will stay on my skin as long as this does. I’ve tried high end and cheap foundations and this one is my absolute favourite.
