Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

This sounds like an exaggeration, but I swear it's true. At least once a week, someone will comment on my skin and ask what I use. This product is the reason!

For once, here's a long-lasting foundation that does what it says it does: I apply it at 5am when I leave to go for work - and when I go to bed at 10.30pm it is still on and looking great!

I love that it doesn't come off on my clothes, and I love its coverage.

Two things to be aware of: it is a very drying product (out of necessity), so a good moisturiser is a must. And it's a good idea to double-cleanse - it is so effective that a single cleanse doesn't get rid of it all.

Pretty pricey, but for me, worth every penny. Once on - it stays on.

This is a pricey foundation but if you're after something that Will. Not. Budge.and are willing to spend a little extra (and I think it's worth it) then this could be for you.

I haven't scored this as high as it probably deserves because for me and my combination extremely dry/pimply skin it was a tad too greasy.

It's definitely not a product I would use as my everyday foundation for my trips to playgroup and the supermarket. For a big event or (admittedly rare) night out however, it's ideal.

It does not lie, it will stay in place. In this day and age keeping your word in the world of marketing is not something to be sniffed at.

I had this foundation used on me on me for a girlfriends wedding, being one of the bridesmaids we had quite a full on busy day,I loved that I didn't feel like a was wearing heaps of make up, it had such a flawless finish and it stay on from 6am in the morning til the wee hours of the next day!

Needless to say i went and purchased some the following monday, I use the pale almond and I still swear by this foundation for any special event that i need my make up to last.

The price does tend to put you off abit, but then again when you find a product that really works, price has no boundaries for me although i find i tend to not wear it on just a normal day as i like the product to last for awhile.

Absolutely love this foundation, the colour match is perfect for me and doesn't have an orange tinge some some foundations do, gives me perfect coverage everytime! Its not a high shine finish which is great too!

This foundation is simply AMAZING. It's staying power is one hard to match, whilst it still gives amazing coverage. Sometimes it needs setting so that it doesn't slip otherwise it's one of my faves! ... It's worth forking out the money!

tried two samples of this and absolutely loved. it's great coverage and more natural looking rather than cakey. expensive, but would love to buy! waiting for the day i have saved up enough, as i am only a poor 14 year old student :(

I have really oily skin and this is the first foundation that I've ever used that keeps me matte all day. It also has really good coverage and I only need a small amount to cover my whole face, so the bottle should last for ages. However, it does tend to cling to any dry spots quite badly so I have to be careful where I put it.

I love this foundation, it's my new baby!! I got matched to desert beige after the lady at the counter took one look at me, she then put some on my jawline to see if it suited and it was perfect. I got a sample of it and after trying it out for about 2 days I immediately bought it when it was on sale at Farmers (20% off) so I was super happy that I only paid about $64 for it. Desert beige matches me perfectly which I am over the moon about as I always have trouble getting the right shade (unfortunately I am not as tanned as I think I am :( ). Double wear goes on really nicely, it is not heavy like I thought it would be, it is light weight which is great as it doesn't make your face feel caked and heavy. It has great coverage which I consider to be full coverage as it is easily buildable. It has very great lasting power, at the end of the day my skin still looks pretty much flawless. The finish it offers is great, natural semi matte- doesn't make your skin look oily or too dry and it makes your skin look pretty much flawless. I would definitely repurchase though I am not too psyched about the RRP price of it... it is rather expensive but I think it is definitely worth it when you've found the perfect foundation that is just right for you!

I bought a bottle of this to use as my wedding foundation after the one the makeup artist trialled on me just slid off after an hour! My skin is pretty normal on a day-to-day basis but it goes extremely oily when I'm nervous or stressed for some reason! Your wedding day is definitely a pretty stressful occasion and I knew I needed a long-lasting foundation.

Double wear performed so well on the day, lasting from about 10a.m. to 11p.m., through light rain, tears, and lots of kisses and hugs. I did use a powder over it and touched up once or twice. I was so impressed though. I have never had a foundation last so well.

Overall, I was very impressed and would buy this again despite the fairly hefty price tag.

I bought this foundation for its reputation as a long-wearing product. I work a 10+ hour day, and I was finding that by the end of the day my foundation would often become patchy. Doublewear was my solution to this problem and I found that it kept shine and oiliness at bay which is great. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to apply it though - I've been using a stippling brush but it doesn't go on very smoothly. This foundation is also quite expensive, but I think for the staying power it's worth it.

Since I bought this foundation a year or so ago my skin has changed and is now a lot more dry - especially on my cheeks where I've started getting eczema-like patches, but still with a somewhat oily t-zone. The Double Wear does NOT sit nicely on the dry bits and I'd almost given up on it when I got some advice from a lovely girl about using a damp sponge (think Beauty Blender) to apply it. I have no words to describe how flawless my skin looks now even with the dryness! Smooth, awesome coverage, not too matte, and stays put aaalll day, even when it's hot/windy/rainy. I love it even more because I don't have to apply heaps of it and it never feels heavy or cakey.

Double Wear has a really decent range of colours too - I've always struggled to find something that suits my olive-ish skin tone but this range has the perfect shade for me!

Fantastic product and I love it, but I just wish it was either a) not so expensive, or b) came in a larger bottle for the same price. I feel like I could get something that's better value for money!
