I have been using this foundation for over 5 years and have yet to find anything better. I initially tried Estée Lauder double wear due to the long lasting claims and it delivers just that. I get quite a sweaty face if over exerted and this make up still Stays on. I can even swim with it and it still stays. Great in my busy life as I never have to worry about reapplying during the day. I also love the coverage of this foundation as it evens my skin out beautifully and hides all my imperfections. Big thumbs up from me

Tips: Find a cleanser that works at removing this makeup. I’ve found a $5 Kmart brand does the trick or an oil based cleanser. I also like to apply a light oil to my skin before applying as it gives my makeup a dewy and fresh look.
Tis has been my go to foundation for a couple of years, I always try something new but come back to this foundation. I have uneven skin tone and some acne scaring and this is the only foundation that doesn’t disappear halfway through the day. I don’t have to touch up or worry that ill start to look like an oily oompah loompa.
Tips: This foundation is best aplied to skin that is regularly exfoliated, as it can show dry patches. Another tip that makes this foundation look its best is to always wear a primer, it spares the product and the application looks more flawless.
This foundation is absolutely stunning for events and special occasions, while you could still wear this on a day to day basis, I would prefer to save this luxury product for those special occasions.
The coverage is full, and a little goes a long way.
Personally this works better for me in the cooler months here in New Zealand and I tend to move away from it during the summer as I find it can often be drying and thick, and throughout summer I like something a little less heavy.
Tips: Ensure to use a good moisturiser/primer before hand as the foundation can sometimes be quite dry. For flawless coverage, beauty blender are my favourite for application. Use a little fix plus to give a flawless finish
My all time absolute favourite foundation. I love how flawless it is and how easy to apply. It’s a complete full coverage foundation which never fails to last amazingly through the day/night. I also love the colour range, i personally am always able to match a colour throughout all seasons to my natural skin.
This foundation has been an absolute godsend. After trialling numerous foundations with “staying power”, this was the only one that did. It stays put at work where I’m enduring extremely hot and cold temperatures. Even if I sweat, or get oily, I can blot the sweat or oil off and the foundation still stays. This will probably be the only foundation I’ll ever use now.
Tips: It goes on better with a sponge beauty blender than a silicon one.
Very long lasting perfect for long working days, it sits on the skin nicely and does not sink into the pores and is great for oily skin, it is applied best with a beauty sponge.
I have super duper oily skin. I also have acne scars thanks to PCOS, so I'm in need of good coverage. Non of the drugstore foundations last on my skin with both primer and setting spray on and they don't offer good coverage either. Plus almost all of them have neutral or pink undertones. Since I have an olive complexion, I need foundations with yellow undertones or have to do some heavy colour correction all over the face. This product does it all! My colour is cashew in this product and it is a perfect match for my skin tone. You can wear it light with a damp sponge or with a heavy hand give yourself full coverage. I even skip concealer if I go for a heavy coverage with this product. It goes smooth onto the skin and doesn't budge for hours. Since I'm super oily I powder my skin with a stippling brush and use a setting spray to make it last even longer. Oh and by the way, as much as I love its lasting power, it is difficult to remove for the same reason. So I use 'Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil' which is for waterproof makeup removal to get rid of this foundation followed with a non harsh activated charcoal based cleanser.
Only con I can mention is that it is expensive.
Tips: Apply it with a damp sponge in a blotting motion going round and round. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount of product and build up the coverage as you go.
This foundation has always look flawless on, high coverage which lasts all day or night. Doesn't even feel that heavy for such a good coverage! Never had any issues with flashback in photos either :)
I have been using this for the last 4 years, that's how much love and trust I have for this foundation and I haven't used any other foundation since. I have combination skin which sometimes gets a bit oily on the T zone, but this foundation never wipes off!!! That's how much staying power it has and doesn't make my skin oily. Just like the brand states that it has 15 hours staying power and is flawless, and trust me its does what it says. It was always difficult for me to find the perfect shade for my yellow brown Indian tone skin, and the shade 3W1 is the exact shade, and doesn't oxidize. I have been complimented so many times about how fresh I look even after 12 hours of applying the foundation. So I will definitely say to you ladies out theres is to go for it and become a new devotee of this foundation.
Tips: Apply with a kabuki or stripling foundation brush and apply small amounts (2 drops) and slowly build up as per your requirements.
I love how long wearing this foundation is, and how it manages to survive in even the muggiest of temperatures.
I took it with me on a trip to south east asia and was worried that I might sweat it all off, but it lasted really well, and I didn't have any problems wearing it for long days out in the sun!
I have really sensitive dry skin and have not had any problems with it, a lot of foundations have made me break out in the past, but this has never happened with doublewear.
5/5 Definitely recommend it to anyone in need of a foundation that can brave warm days while still looking flawless.
