Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I received a very generous sample size of this during a promotion that was running recently. The make up artist at Life Pharmacy matched this to my skin tone and away I went. This foundation is very easy to use. I apply it with a brush and I achieve a very nice finish with it. I love how this goes on as a liquid foundation but has a matte finish when it has set. I get a very good even beautiful coverage with this foundation and it feels light while on. I would definitely consider purchasing this in the future when I need more foundation.

After a lot of talk about Estee Lauder Doublewear on Social Media sites, I decided to stop hearing about everyone talk about how amazing it is and actually go try it! Before purchasing the product I got a sample, which I recommend with any foundation as your colour in store won't always be the same in natural lighting.

Day 1: I feel in love, it applied perfectly. I always always like a foundation I can apply a small amount and build up, and I found Estee Lauder Doublewear allowed this.

Now, my biggest want out of a foundation is how long it can last. With Combination Oily/Normal skin I get a lot of problems with foundation lasting longer than till my first morning break! I checked on my foundation part way through the day to be shocked it was still sitting on my nose, let alone the rest of my face. By 5pm, it was not far off still being as perfect as I had applied that morning.

So this is a 10/10, it's a bit pricy but to me it's perfect. I don't have to worry all day about foundation missing off my nose and looking like a clown, I don't have to worry about touching up throughout the day.

After hearing heaps of rave reviews about Estee Lauder's famous Double Wear Foundation, I finally found the opportunity (and budget) to buy it for myself. This foundation is very full coverage and matte in finish, something that took a while for me to get used to, after using mostly medium coverage, dewy foundations in the past. In order to prevent it from feeling too thick on my skin, I'll often mix it with a little moisturiser before applying. This helps with the consistency for me without compromising its staying power. Overall, it's an extremely good foundation, long-wearing, easily blendable and looks great on the skin!

Looks as good at the end of the day as what it did in the morning.. slight wear on my nose from rubbing but probably the best foundation I've ever used. For such a good coverage it is still light and flexible on skin.. came on beauty review to find a good foundation and so glad the reviews steered me to buying estee lauder double wear as the reviews were right :)

I had heard a lot of great reviews about double wear and wanted to try it for a while. First thing first - it is as good as everyone makes it out to be. I got colour matched in store which was awesome. The product itself is very long lasting. No touch ups required. If you sleep in it by accident after a long night out, it won't end up all over your pillowcase and you will probably look the same as the night before. Pleasant smelling. You only need a small amount to cover your whole face. It really is a full coverage foundation. I have had many comments about having 'perfect skin' while wearing this. It doesn't dry out my skin or leave it oily.

I first off have to admit I'm pretty keen on reasonable coverage, and Estée Lauder's double wear fits bill perfectly it gives great coverage, it's not at all oily and lasts from morning through till going out on the town ( with a wee freshen up of course ) I would highly recommend this for ladies that like a bit coverage with their foundation.

Got given this from my mum as the shade she had didn't suit her face tone so she gave it to me and it just happened to be just the right shade for me, gosh I must say this is probably the best Foundation I have used and OMG it glided onto my face so smoothly I ended up just using my middle finger as I thought the sponge I had wouldn't be the greatest since it had other foundation on it. There was no smell to it really and I found that I didn't need touching up thro the day and still at the end of a day my face was still looking pretty. after the bottle had finished I went to Ballantynes to see how much it was and OMG it is very expensive, so didn't end up buying and don't ever think I could afford that much to spend on foundation even though I found it was the best I had ever used. I think ill just stick to my budget range. lol but overall far-out this one is a goodie !!!

I'm on my third bottle of this bad boy, which has NEVER happened before, so that says a lot!

Double Wear definitely has some spectacular staying power going on (incredibly important for my combination oily skin - even most long wear foundations start sliding off my forehead by late afternoon, but not Double Wear!), and despite being what I would consider a mid to full coverage foundation it's still surprisingly buildable, so when I'm having a rare good skin day I can use a very light hand and get a lovely natural 'barely there' look. Alternatively, you can really build it up for a flawless, airbrushed look for events and parties.

Most days, though, a normal application of the mid-full cover is fantastic for my acne-prone, ruddy skin and evens things out beautifully without sitting heavily on the skin like a lot of fuller coverage foundations do. A lot of them tend to look or feel 'cakey', but I don't find that with the Double Wear at all.

My only lament is that while they have a fantastic range of colours, they just don't quite go yellow enough for my skin tone - but I make it work with some peach toned bronzer on my neck and chest!

This foundation is a fantastic all rounder, you can wear it light or build up for evening wear if needed, I've tried to change but nothing compares to Doublewear.

Although the price is up there, it lasts really well & can be used sparingly to still get medium cover.

Because the SPF is rather low in comparison to other foundations, when getting a photo at night, your face doesn't come up bright white with the flash
