Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Fantastic for oily skin, do not use for dry skin. My skin was so oily even in this you would see the oil come through after a few hours, this was the only foundation I could use and it made my skin look flawless!! never got caught in my pores and covered all my acne. However, as iv'e aged my skin has got less oily and now it catches a lot making my skin look wrinkly and caked. THIS IS A VERY FULL COVERAGE AND MATTE!!! and needs to be washed off fully before going to sleep. It is hard to take off but the bonus is that once it's on it doesn't budge

A classic and fave in the Estee lauder range. It is a thick liquid texture and benefits from bottle being held before application to warm up contents making them more plyable. I use a brush or sponge for fuller coverage, fingers for lighter. Full cigg

This isn't my all time favourite foundation but it is a great foundation if you want a transfer proof, long lasting, full coverage, water resistant sweat proof, hiking in summer then going for a swim and still looking perfect kind of foundation. It'll get you there and back. It is quite matte, it isn't very flexible once applied it sets and stays all day. I also purchased the Estee lauder powder and it sets it really well. It didn't feel that great on my skin it felt a bit heavy and dry, I prefer foundations to have health benefits for my skin and to feel natural and have some glow. It also didn't last as well as some foundations I have, but it was a great colour match.

This foundation looks nice and smooth on and it is definitely double wear. It smells nice and doesnt fade or rub off. I wore it to a wedding and it didn't dry out or need touch ups at all. In fact of one were to do an all nighter this foundation would stay put well into the next day.

I've used this for about 3 years now, and it is good, it has staying power mostly and luckily for me it is the perfect match for my skin tone. It is light and not greasy however in our lovely Auckland humid weather it doesn't hold up to its claim of staying "fresh", kind of slides off my face! It is quite up there on the price scale but having said that, it lasts me about 6 months and that's using it every day so maybe not too bad after all.

This product does give full coverage and feel light on the skin. Have to work very fast when applying because it dries onto the skin in minutes and cannot be budged. It really does stick to wherever you have placed it which allows it to stay on all day but is hard when trying to achieve flawless coverage.

My 2nd favourite foundation, i love the coverage & how a little goes a long way, the downfall i have is when i reapply it later during the day you can see the colors dont match up leaving my skin looking patchy (unlike mac pro long), other than that if i dont need to reapply after a busy day it is great

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.
