Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

The hype about this foundation is all over the internet! It's been holy grail product to every single makeup girls I watch on youtube! I did not jump in the bandwagon when everyone was talking about how great this foundation because at that time I thought I already found the foundation that works great on my skin type. For reference, I have very oily/acne-prone skin. Clearly it is harder than it looks to find a good foundation that won't slip and slide as well as control shine through out the day.

It took me a little over 2 years to finally bit the bullet and purchase my first ever Estee Lauder foundation! First off, the shade selection is amazing that you can easily find the shade that will spot on match your skin tone. Ranging from pink undertones, yellow undertones, olive, dark undertones they have it all! Normally, you have to either mix 2 shades to get a perfect shade or go a tad lighter but not this foundation!

It comes in a glass bottle which is makes it luxurious. However, it does not come with a pump which can get a little messy and frustrating but that does not really bother me.

The texture of the foundation is thick and I find that it sets quickly so you have to apply it fast other wise you'll get a patchy application. It has a chemically scent to it which is sort of similar to MAC foundations and Revlon Color Stay.

It claims to last through humidity and heat also a built SPF 10 to protect the skin from UV rays. I have worn this foundation through out my trip in Birsbane and it suppressed the humidity and sweat! I'm overly amazed because it did not slide or move or smudge! For it being thick and full coverage foundation, it looked natural and it looks exactly the same as when you applied it through out the day! I even wore this foundation when I played tennis under the sun! It is great in controlling the oils from my face!

The finish is matte that I don't even have to set it with powder! I use Laura Mercier primer underneath or the Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer. If I want less coverage and a bit of dew, I mix it with my face moisturizer which then gives you a BB cream texture. I like the method for everyday wear as it gives a bit of coverage and lasts all day!

The price can be a it of a downer but this foundation is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend to all my oily skin girls who is on the hunt for a great foundation!

Double Wear is my holy grail long wearing medium/high coverage foundation it does everything it says on the bottle, I can wear this al day at work and then onto the bars on a Friday night with minimal touch ups. Even better, the shade range is great and easy to understand with the undertones labeled on the bottle. I have neutral undertones and am pale as a ghost and 1N1 Ecru is perfection. Bottom line: definitely worth the hefty price tag

Packaging is nice a glass bottle a good lid and a pump action to squirt the right amount out. So with a freshly primed face I start applying this with a foundation brush, I do one pump of foundation on the back of my hand and dab my brush into it, it's not a thick foundation more mid range. This foundation is easy to put on evenly and blend into my skin, It's a really nice medium coverage with a mid matte finish, also a SPF content and it blends easily down my neck, there's no scent I can detect and this does feel nice and lightweight on my skin and nice and breathable. I like the even skin tone I get using this and it does last. I don't get the fifteen hours but my face still looks pretty good at the end of the day at work. I get a little shine on the end of my nose, but nothing a little powder doesn't fix. The colour off this foundation I've found stays the same throughout the day and gives my face a more natural finish than a heavy finish. And so easy to remove with a little bit off makeup remover. Well I did take ages for me to decide whether to buy this, why did I take so long. It does a great job and lasts so most certainly spending my money on this.

I have recently (within the last two months) switched from using Revlon Colorstay to this and I love it!

The coverage is brilliant and you don't need to put too much on so the bottle will last a long time. The women in the store were so lovely giving me a couple of samples of different colours to try at home and after a few tries I found the perfect shade for my skin tone. I have found best to apply with a stippling brush for an even, flawless finish.

The only cons I have about this product is that the bottle doesn't come with a pump so it is pretty difficult to get the foundation out without it all pouring everywhere. It is also a bit drying so I would recommend moisturising and priming your skin beforehand (which you should already with any foundation).

I have since convinced my mum to change from Revlon to this and she loves it! Would definitely recommend to everyone

I researched alot of foundations before deciding on DW as this was going to be my first high-end foundation purchase. I love the coverage you get and it's the best foundation for summer as it does not move!! It has a matte finish with is great because I get greasy about mid-day. I do find that it does cake up on me a little by the end of the day just around the nose area, but I think it is because my skin has been unusually dry these days with the humid weather. I have oily to combo skin and this foundation is great, if I want a little dewyness to the foundation I add a amount of cocnut oil to the foundationand that transforms it from matte to a luminous finish. I will definitely be re-purchasing this foundation!!

This foundation is incredible! When I had acne this was the only one that would cover everything up while still looking amazing. It is a medium-consistency, buildable coverage foundation that stays put until you take it off. It will withstand sun, sweat and tears and still look flawless and natural. There is no need for touchups at all. It will last all day and all night if you want it to. The colour was perfect for me. With a lot of other brands of foundation I find the colours are either too pink or too yellow for me because my skin tone is classed as 'neutral' rather than warm or cool, but this came in my ideal shade. If you have oily skin in particular then this is the foundation for you because you won't end up shiny by the end of the day. It has a slightly matte finish. It is expensive but a little goes a long way and I think it's money very well spent.

BEST FULL COVERAGE FOUNDATION I have ever come across!

Just to emphasise how incredible this foundation is - I will give you an example. 36 degree weather in Sydney + humidity + a party bus + a 14 hour day usually is not a good sign. BUT, praise Estee Lauder because they have made the most durable foundation in the world.

I prepped my face with my moisturiser and Mac stobe cream and then poured the tiniest amount of foundation onto my hand then stroked the foundation on my face and blended blended blended away with my beauty blender. Once I was done, my skin looked amazing and flawless (with only about a pea sized amount of foundation). As i used the Mac strobe cream as well, it gave the foundation a slight glow to it which you usually dont get when wearing the foundation alone, as it is quite matte.

Not only did it last 14+ hours in the Sydney heat, it felt comfortable, remained looking amazing and didn't budge after dancing for hours. I was so amazing by it!!

The product itself comes in a standard glass (i think) bottle with no pump so it must be purchased separately, but i use it without the pump. The texture of the product is thicker than most foundations and contains spf, but does not leave a ghostly cast in photography. It blends easily and it definitely buildable so you could use the tiniest amount for normal day wear as well

Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a good, high end and amazing quality product!!

Isnt it wonderful when you finally find what you have been looking for. I got a 7day free sample from the Estee Lauder counter a while ago and have never looked back. I use a primer first then this foundation goes on effortlessly. I use my fingers as I havent had any success with brushes but it still looks awesome. It gives great coverage and lasts all day. I dont finish work until 6.30pm and I am happy with the way it stays in place. I do have to do a good job at cleansing my face at night but thats a good thing. My perfect colour match is Pebble. I went to 2 different stores and they both picked the same colour for me.

I'm addicted to this foundation I'm a big fan of the full coverage makeup look without it over clogging into my skin too much ,you are also able to set with powder and bronze without it becoming to much, I feel this product dose me better justice then my MAC prolong wear, it is fast drying so a quick application is required with the double wear, If you have a big problem with freckles/pores like myself this is your best friend.

This product is High coverage and long lasting. I was astonished how it lasted through anything including sweat rain and wind and didn't budge at all (Even when i didn't wear primer!) But of course there are some minor downsides, if you have dry skin it will cling to that area and make it slightly more obvious. And also it smells like paint. But it is an amazing product, it does what it says it will and there is quite a good range of colour.
