Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I pondered over buying this product for a VERY long time, I borrowed some when a friend had it and instantly fell in love. I'm a matte girl so of course I'm extremely happy with how this foundation sets, It builds well for full coverage and doesn't look 'cakey.'

A little goes a LONG WAY!

This foundation is my holy grail. I have the oilest skin possible and work a hectic job so im consistantly perspiring and this foundation stays in place ALLLLL day with none of that slip and slide going on

Back when the local chemist was doing their free trial, I thought 'what have I got to lose?' All my friends were raving about it and I was actually quite excited. Until I was wrongly colour matched... what a nightmare! But back to the chemist I went and got rightly colour matched! And WOW. Flawless skin is such a treat - except when you don't have a decent exfoliator to remove the product at the end of the day... nightmare #2, breakout! Once I had the cleansing routine sorted for the DW, I was on a roll! Until my 14 day tester ran out! I'm just not entirely sure I can justify spending that amount on a foundation...

I tried a 10 day trial of this from my local department store and was amazed. As soon as the trial ran out I ran back to the shop to buy a full sized one. It is a bit pricey unfortunately, but I think that it is worth the price. I only use this for special occasions, or when I need the extra long wear. I wore it to a wedding once which started at 10am, when I got home after 12 that night my make up was still flawless. It was amazing. I must stress the importance of getting properly colour matched.

This foundation is amazing! Recently discovered that Estee lauder carried a shade light enough for me so I immediately wanted to try this foundation as everyone raves about it. For me, Double Wear really lives up to the hype. It's full coverage but not thick or sticky, the formula is light and easy to apply with both your hands or a brush. It sets matte and looks natural especially considering how high coverage it is. Double wear lasts me all day which is unheard of for me as I have oily skin and find most foundations separate on my t-bone. A major plus for me is that double wear works well with my favourite concealer Nars radiant creamy concealer. Beautiful foundation, absolutely love it.

I purchased this late last year (and still have some left!) This is my favourite foundation - it has a full coverage. The product lasts a very long time as a little goes a long way. Estee Lauder have really done us girls proud creating such a long lasting flawless foundation. I will keep re-purchasing.

Absolutely adore double wear. It is incredible. Such good coverage and makes you look so flawless. The only down fall is that it makes your skin rather dry but a good moisturiser before and in the morning does the trick :)

I love the heavy coverage and light wear of this foundation. I have worn it for the past 2 years and don't plan to change any time soon :)

love this foundation. good things about it are: it is long lasting, great full coverage, easy to apply, doesn't transfer too much onto clothes, a little goes a long way, many different shades so easy to get a match. bad things: can dry skin out, very expensive for my budget so i use sparingly - however a little goes a long way and mine is lasting me a long time, can look a little thick and cake if you're not careful but I've been ok.

This is my first higher end foundation and I am so pleased I brought it. I have very oily skin and this is the only foundation that I have tried which lasts for 5+ hours looking matte. This foundation also wears off evenly which is very important when wearing it for 10+ hours
