I had heard a lot of great reviews about double wear and wanted to try it for a while. First thing first - it is as good as everyone makes it out to be. I got colour matched in store which was awesome. The product itself is very long lasting. No touch ups required. If you sleep in it by accident after a long night out, it won't end up all over your pillowcase and you will probably look the same as the night before. Pleasant smelling. You only need a small amount to cover your whole face. It really is a full coverage foundation. I have had many comments about having 'perfect skin' while wearing this. It doesn't dry out my skin or leave it oily.

I first off have to admit I'm pretty keen on reasonable coverage, and Estée Lauder's double wear fits bill perfectly it gives great coverage, it's not at all oily and lasts from morning through till going out on the town ( with a wee freshen up of course ) I would highly recommend this for ladies that like a bit coverage with their foundation.
Got given this from my mum as the shade she had didn't suit her face tone so she gave it to me and it just happened to be just the right shade for me, gosh I must say this is probably the best Foundation I have used and OMG it glided onto my face so smoothly I ended up just using my middle finger as I thought the sponge I had wouldn't be the greatest since it had other foundation on it. There was no smell to it really and I found that I didn't need touching up thro the day and still at the end of a day my face was still looking pretty. after the bottle had finished I went to Ballantynes to see how much it was and OMG it is very expensive, so didn't end up buying and don't ever think I could afford that much to spend on foundation even though I found it was the best I had ever used. I think ill just stick to my budget range. lol but overall far-out this one is a goodie !!!
This foundation is a fantastic all rounder, you can wear it light or build up for evening wear if needed, I've tried to change but nothing compares to Doublewear.
Although the price is up there, it lasts really well & can be used sparingly to still get medium cover.
Because the SPF is rather low in comparison to other foundations, when getting a photo at night, your face doesn't come up bright white with the flash
Tips: I always tone and moisturise before applying, this makes it much easier to spread and ensures that getting even coverage is easy peasy!
I absolutly loved this foundation! I have oily skin and that means that i struggle to find a foundation that will actually stay on all day. This is the only foundation that has ever stayed on all day and night until i took it off. I love this foundation so much! The only downside is the price, but you pay for what you get and this is suh an amazing high quality foundation. Totally reccomend it!
Tips: Use the 'take it away' make up remove with it to remove it at the end of the day and never sleep with it in as i found it clogged my pores if i went out a night and couldn't be bothered washing it off early hours.
You don't need much at all, I personally have only owned the 10 day sample, ( which ended up lasting me just over two weeks!) But when I have enough money I will definitely be purchasing the full size bottle! amazing coverage, very build able, it feels very lightweight and doesn't look like your wearing anything at all! On top of all that it stays on all day!
I spent 2 years on a beauty counter at farmers, and have to admit that every single cosmetician would use this! Especially on late nights leading up to xmas, working until midnight this was everyone's pick for foundation, for the coverage but mainly because it does not budge! (we had to pretend that it was the brand we were working for) This is the best longwear foundation i have come across so far, the only drawback being on drier skins you can feel it. My skin gets very dry, and i find sometimes It makes my skin feel a bit tight - however this is rare! The coverage can also be nice and full, which is perfect for me however they do have a lightweight option for people who dont like it heavy.
When I first saw the price of the Estée Lauder foundation, I was a bit taken back as I bought it way before it was as big of a hype as it is now. I thought how many cheaper foundations could I buy for this ONE foundation, and could it really be any good? Man was I wrong! It is the best foundation I have ever tried! It's the perfect coverage, thicker consistency than usual so you know your actually getting money's worth out of it, they have a big range of shades, and you can get colour matched in store! It's a small glass bottle, not a huge bottle like some, and just has an amazing finish! Can't recommend enough
Tips: Buy buy buy!!!
This is my holy grail foundation. I have oily skin so I need a foundation that will not slide off my face or make me look like an oil slick. Amazing coverage, amazing colour selection to get the right one. Gives this nicest finish and lasts all day/night. Definitely worth the hefty price tag.
Tips: Use a primer to extend the longevity.
Looks as good at the end of the day as what it did in the morning.. slight wear on my nose from rubbing but probably the best foundation I've ever used. For such a good coverage it is still light and flexible on skin.. came on beauty review to find a good foundation and so glad the reviews steered me to buying estee lauder double wear as the reviews were right :)
Tips: Apply with brush or sponge. Using fingers seems to make you look cakey and heavy
