Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Like the title states this is hands down the best foundation I've used thus far. I have a bit of scarring and still get the odd pimple and this full coverage covers it so well requiring me to use LESS concealer than what i would normally use with other foundations. It is a thicker consistency and oxidizes quite quickly so you need to work with it at pace. It states that it feels lightweight which to me it doesn't. But it definitely is long lasting. I've worn it to all night festivals so we are talking dancing, sweating, squashed up against people, heat, humidity and it is still just as good when the sun comes up as it was when I put it on as the sun was going down (its normally my eye makeup that fails me). The packaging is OK. Kinda cute. Frosted glass with gold. I would definitely use this again and have already recommended it to many people.

I went to multiple counters to be matched and was matched a different colour at every one, but none of these matches seemed to suit my skin. I enjoy this for a little while however after an hour or so my skin feels extremely dry even with the use of a primer and this foundation does not cover my redness at all, I also found it oxidised (went orange throughout the day). Personally not my favourite covering redness is a biggie for me and the only reason I wear foundation so for this reason I personally wouldn't use again, also not a huge fan of the shades available I found all are extremely pink or yellow based so for my olive skintone this doesn't quite match.

This is my holy grail foundation! The coverage is the best I've seen on a foundation and the consistency is just right. In addition there are so many shades and tones to choose from so you will be able to pick one that matches your natural skin tone almost exactly! I mix two shades: 2W2 Rattan and 3W1 Tawny to get the perfect shade. Although the price is quite high; almost $70 RRP for a standard 30ml bottle in NZ, it is definitely worth splurging on and I will continue to purchase Estee Lauder's Double Wear foundation over and over again. It keeps your face matte, which is perfect for my oily ance prone skin, and has amazing staying power.

The hype for this foundation was crraaazzzzyyyy, so I decided to join in with the other and tried it out.

Would I use it again? I probably won't use it again. I still have my first bottle and its only half, its been like 6months now. This is because the matte finish that it give, brought alot of the dryness of my skin out. It made the dry patches on my face appear more.

-It did say, what it said it would which is amazing

-I would recommend this to a friend who doesn't have dry skin.

Ok, let's start off I have combo/oily skin. This product is always recommended for my skin type, claiming that it will stay on and look flawless all day. It does stay on all day, but even when applied "flawlessly" when my oils come through it is visible that it becomes patchy, it comes off on my nose it feels super heavy and definitely not natural!! It oxidised on my skin, it looks HORRIBLE IN PHOTOS (flash) it just has this horrific white cast. I tried everything with this foundation.. Different primers, no primer, different setting powders.. NOTHING HELPED. I am so disappointed because I wanted to love this foundation. I much prefer the Revlon Colorstay. It does everything this says it does, but it actually does it.

I had been searching and searching for a full coverage foundation that doesn't dry me out, doesn't make me break out, doesn't shift and gives full coverage and I have finally found it!

It sits well on my skin, although I do have oily skin but a quick dust with powder soon fixes that.

It is full coverage and lasts. You really need to cleanse and scrub your face to remove this baby!

The packaging is gorgeously simple. It makes me feel really classy with its glass bottle and gold lid and writing.

It has been matched perfectly to my skin tone. The assistant at my local Farmers gave me a couple of different samples to try and find the right one as it isn't cheap. I really appreciated the customer service as she also wanted me to find the perfect match.

I don't wear foundation every day but when I do this foundation never fails. With the full coverage I feel beautiful and confident as I have acne scars.

It really is worth the price. (although if Farmers are having a sale on cosmetics it is even better!)

I first got a sample of this from my local pharmacy, hoping I wouldn't fall in love with it but guess what.. I did! The smallest amount of product goes the longest way so I thought it was jusified to spend the money because the bottle would truely last. This was the first high end foundation I had ever used and after using it I find it hard to go back to my drugstore foundations and be satisfied. The coverage is amazing, gives your skin a healthy look although it's so full coverage, which sounds impossible but I was proven wrong by this foundation! It lasts amazing on my oily skin for at least 10 hours. All my products on top blend amazingly like my bronzer and contour. All in all I love love it!

I love this product, I used it as my wedding foundation. You only need a tiny bit, it covers well, the colour is great and it lasts forever. It's matte and kept my super oily skin shine free for the majority of the day.

For a long time now I've stuck to my BB creams for a bit of light coverage through out the day. However with a wedding coming up I wanted so get really slammed up and go for an all day look that would last.

I trailed this product after a consultation at Farmers and a small sample was taken home. Immediately I was hooked and had to get my hands on a bottle of my own. The foundation matched my skin tone beautifully and covers my freckles beautifully. I found in the heat of summer even when I perspired my make up stood the test of time. The consistency of this product is magic, it smoothes and spreads nicely and drys quickly however I can revisit and blend areas I've missed with my fingers easily without the product flaking or rubbing away. Even when I hopped in our pool and got a little splashed my skin still looked amazing afterwards without any smudging or running. This is a must have product for a lasting look of 15hours, I'm very happy with little investment.

I brought this a few months ago and have used it with a brush and a beauty blender. The staying power of this foundation is awesome. I put it on the back on my hand when applying and would get to work some days and find I had forgotten to wash it off my back of my hand. I would literally have to wait until I got home and use makeup remover or wipe to get it off as washing it under the tap never works. I love the feel of this foundation. To me it feels like I am not wearing foundation. I would normally avoid wearing foundation as the feel of it can irritate me all day. This foundation is not the best for people with dry skin. I sometimes get a dry nose and this foundation looks particularly bad on those dry flaky areas. Unfortunately the colour I purchased was a little dark for me so I have given it to my mother and she is loving it. I definitely plan to purchase it again in the near future.
