Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

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

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.

Love Love Love!!! Need I say more?

As a darker skin toned woman I have searched for the perfect foundation for me for years!! And while on my search I unfortunately wasted a lot of money too :( but No More because I have found the one!!

This foundation has great coverage. Does not oxidise. Great colour selection. Absolutely does not transfer. Good consistency. I mean I just dunno if theres any fault in this foundation!! Please try it and you won't be disappointed. Its very easy to get a sample which lasts forever. I mean the price is a bit hefty but its worth it.

My search is finally over.

Im in love :)

This foundation is ridiculous. It actually stayed on my face from 6am to midnight without budging. It's sweat proof and quite water proof. The coverage is amazing and it just erased my flaws without the need for concealer. A little bit goes a long way. I only used a tiny bit for my entire face. From what I know and saw, the colour selection is nice too. The only cons I see are the price and the difficulty in removing it. It gave me few little pimples here and there when I wore it a few days consecutively, although I'm sure it was because I couldn't remove it with just normal makeup remover. But definitely worth the hype in my opinion.

the first time i used this foundation was when they were giving out those 10 day samples, and i must say, that sample lasted me around 2 weeks, meaning that you dont need a lot of foundation when you are applying it. I did purchase it from smith and caugheys in auckland because i was in love with it so much. Here's why:

you dont need a primer with this foundation because it literally sticks to you like glue. My face was flawless all day, whether i went to the beach or if i stayed inside all day. i didn't get any breakouts, but if you have oily skin, i recommend that you don't use this one because the foundation traps all those natural oils under it, thus causing breakouts.

its a little hard to remove, but if you give your face a massage with rosehip oil, it comes off quite easily.

I have not tried very many foundations, but I quite like this. You do have to work very, very qiuckly with it but it does not feel heavy at all on my skin and sometimes I forget I am wearing makeup. My only 'gripe' is that it does not last very well on my nose but sticks like glue everywhere else. It is a bit of a pain to remove (I use a makeup wipe then I double cleanse), but at the end of the day I would recommend to others. I think it's also good value for money too (otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it..)

I've never been much of a foundation wearer but after suffering from hormonal acne, this has been my go to product. The texture is incredible and colour match really great. It is often hard to find the perfect colour, but my personal experience using double wear has made it easy to match. I do however admit i like to set my foundation with a light bronzer only because of habit. You actually do not need to do this. I often have problems with excess oil in the summer time. Estee Lauder gives me the confidence to wear during any season.
