Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I recently received a sample of the ever so raved about EL double wear, and am sad to say I am not a fan! It made my skin dry out terribly and also made me break out even after washing my face twice! In saying that, everyone's skin reacts differently and my skin is normal/dry. The lady did tell me it may make my skin dry since I do have mildly dry skin (being winter). I so wish my skin didn't react to it because it is a super foundation and definitely lasts a long time!!

I bought this foundation as EVERYONE raved about it. I have combination/ oily skin and this product did not look good throughout the day. I found it was quite patchy and very heavy when I had it on, like my skin was not breathing. The application was nice but did not stay as it was throughout the day.

On the upside, the various shades mean the color matched me perfectly and the coverage was good.

Unfortunately, those with oily skin I would not recommend this as this just adds to the oiliness. This is GOOD if your only going out for a short time (not in the heat).

I first got this when I was around 18 and just started to wear makeup, so very into heavy makeup because I wanted it to SHOW! And this is why I'm on the fence with this foundation. I do not have acne, and I have quite normal to combination skin - having lots of dry patch moments throughout the year, but overall it isn't that bad, and this foundation is definitely for people for acne because I won't lie, it does what it's meant to do - COVER. And cover it does! It is VERY heavy, and I can never seem to find the right way to applying it because it just does not work for me. It makes me go dry very quickly, definitely looks like I have foundation and they don't lie and tell you it's natural at all. I find that the product also becomes really thick after a month or two (maybe it was just me) and I had to wait for it to come down. I hate the bottle because it wastes a lot of product without a pumper, and moreover, I just don't think this foundation was right for me at all. I even used it recently thinking maybe my skin will adapt to it more; but nope, it was still pretty bad.

If you don't have acne DONT go for this, and if you do be sure to test it out first!

so i'm a huge fan of Estee lauder products, double wear is amazing, long wear and has great coverage the only downfall i found is that taking it off is super hard, i use make up wipes usually but found i had to use a scrub then wipes to get it off!

I used this product on my wedding day and a few weeks prior to see if it would be as amazing as everybody thinks it is. And yeah it was a good foundation. The only problem I had with it is that it would sink into my under eye lines and around my mouth. Also would run off my nose really easily andelt of my checks if I'm too hot for too Long. This is all with a setting powder. Overall good foundation but I havse found better

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 foundation is a high end product which is very popular. It has lovely mild foundation scent ,a heavy/thick texture which at first gave a great full coverage look. This foundation is long lasting and I never had a problem with smudging onto my clothing. Although I did find after a week or two of using it my skin started to dry out and the foundation would highlight the dry yucky areas. I really enjoyed it the first couple weeks but haven't used since my skin dried out so badly. :/

I'm not sure if I was matched to the wrong shade at the Estee lauder counter or not, but my experiences with Double Wear haven't been overly fantastic. I found it oxidised quickly on my face and just didn't look right. However it really did stay the distance and I was really impressed with how well it wore throughout the day. The price is also a little high but if it suits your skin, it would make sense in investing in this foundation. I am going to give it another go, and try a lighter shade. If I find I have a different experience next time i'll be sure to update my review!

I had heard rave reviews about this foundation online, i was away and had forgotten my usual foundation so i decided to give it a go.

When the estee lauder lady applied it on my combination skin it looked great - matte and flawless yet thevnext time i applied it myself it looked cakey and stuck to my dry patches in the grossest way!

However i recently discovered i was applying wrong, now that im using a damp beauty blender to apply this to my face my makeup is beautiful and flawless so im going to give it a chance

I'm going against the grain here, but Double Wear didn't work for me. It's very high coverage and I found even though I applied very little, it emphasised my dry patches. It also tended to look a bit cakey on me, especially once I set it with a light layer of powder. It's also very expensive with a lot of hype, so I expected it to look better. I stick with my Colourpop tinted moisturiser nowadays.
