I have been using EL DW for about 18 months now and can honestly say I don't think I will ever try anything else! I have a very oily T zone and dry cheeks and forehead so I have always struggled to find the right foundation for my combination skin. Previous foundations I have used have either accentuated dry spots on my cheeks, transferred too easily or ended up an oil slick on my face after 2 hours. I use DW Mon-Fri for work and also on weekends if I am going out etc and I find it so light on my face, it doesn't feel cakey or uncomfortable yet it gives such a flawless medium-full coverage look. I don't worry about it oxidising or having to touch up during the day and I can genuinely say It still looks just as good at 6pm as it did when first applied at 6am. I initially got this in shade Ecru which was just slightly too neutral for me so I ended up buying Porcelain and Sand and I mix the 3 together to create my perfect shade! I use a hydrating primer, followed by concealer, DW using a beauty blender, set with powder and then I finish with a setting spray to dull down the powdered look and give a softer, more glowy look.

Tips: Use a good quality primer Apply using a damp beauty blender
This is definitely a full coverage, buildable foundation that is beautifully formulated and easy to blend. Ensuring that you’re starting it with a good hydrating moisturizer and a good primer is key!
Tips: A little goes a long way!
Estee lauder and Clinique are my favorite foundations hands down and worth the price point..(I believe the companies are related)
This is the only make up that i have ever tried that remains at the end of the day. There isn't a full face left but there's usually nothing. So for me that's a huge plus.
There is no scent which I like as find some foundations smell strange and bothers me all day
Not a huge fan of the glass bottle, have broken a brand new one before which was heart breaking given the cost. Also for general use it's hard to use. There is a pump you can purchase but it's pretty pricey
Over all a huge staple and everytime I try another product I'm drawn back as this is superior foundation. I try and time with the gifts with purchase promotions
Tips: Ensure you have a great product to remove it in the evening ie a cleansing oil or something designed for water proof make up. Double cleansing after would also be my recommendation
Buy the pump to get the foundation out
I have been using this foundation for years and when looking to purchase a foundation/tinted moisturiser for my youngest daughter I was really happy when the experienced makeup artist who works with all brands says this is her go to hands down. Texture, coverage and range of colours is fantstic. Do not love the packaging, that could do with a revamp, lots of wated product at the bottomw of the bottle which is a shame.
Tips: Mix with moisteriser if the texture is too heavy. Dap on problem areas for a concealer effect.
I have been using this foundation for years and can not find anything else that comes close. It is such amazing quality, applies absolutely flawlessly, provides great coverage yet doesn’t feel cakey and is so long lasting! I can apply this at 6am and it still looks perfect at 9pm when I go to wash it off. I’m constantly complimented on my make up and skin when wearing this foundation. While it is at a higher price point it is worth every cent. I will never buy anything else!!!
I have only recently started using foundation as I prefer a more natural looking skin. So I tried Estée Lauders Double Wear, and as I have found all of this brands products, it is really nice & worth the cost. I’m happy to spend a little more if it makes me feel good. This foundation is so light & natural without clumping into your pores that I have continued to purchase it. I’ve found it’s not so easy to find a good foundation so have stuck with this one.
Being a Estee Lauder beauty product fan, I have used a many products over the year including skin care. This Double Wear foundation is good, does make my skin looks oily nor shiny however it does not give enough coverage on my uneven skin area.
Absolutely LOVE this foundation! Easy to apply, lightweight and not tacky at all! Lasts all day and not too bad to remove with a good cleanser. Beautiful Matt finish
Tips: Moisturise well before applying and use a blending sponge for better coverage. A little highlighter to make it ‘pop’ gives it a beautiful dewy look.
I used this foundation back in the days of super full-faced makeup (looking at you insta brows of 2012!). I honestly loved the coverage this gave me - I used to wear this before university presentations where I would be worried about blushing because you COULD NOT see any hint of the dreaded red cheeks when wearing this. Full-face makeup isn't really my look these days but if its yours then this works an absolute treat!
I rebrought it recently after not using it for a while, I love it favourite foundation! Can build it up or have it as a low coverage.
