Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I love this foundation for special occasions and events. I wore this for the ball and it lasted well without requiring to be touched up. I think this is my first ever high end purchase but its price when compared to other "drugstore" foundations isn't that different.

I was shade matched at a Farmers store and they also give out a sample of the foundation. It isn't the most weightless of foundations but surprisingly it didn't make my face look caked on or over done. My skin wasn't irritated and it didn't cause me to break out.

Tis has been my go to foundation for a couple of years, I always try something new but come back to this foundation. I have uneven skin tone and some acne scaring and this is the only foundation that doesn’t disappear halfway through the day. I don’t have to touch up or worry that ill start to look like an oily oompah loompa.

My all time absolute favourite foundation. I love how flawless it is and how easy to apply. It’s a complete full coverage foundation which never fails to last amazingly through the day/night. I also love the colour range, i personally am always able to match a colour throughout all seasons to my natural skin.

I have super duper oily skin. I also have acne scars thanks to PCOS, so I'm in need of good coverage. Non of the drugstore foundations last on my skin with both primer and setting spray on and they don't offer good coverage either. Plus almost all of them have neutral or pink undertones. Since I have an olive complexion, I need foundations with yellow undertones or have to do some heavy colour correction all over the face. This product does it all! My colour is cashew in this product and it is a perfect match for my skin tone. You can wear it light with a damp sponge or with a heavy hand give yourself full coverage. I even skip concealer if I go for a heavy coverage with this product. It goes smooth onto the skin and doesn't budge for hours. Since I'm super oily I powder my skin with a stippling brush and use a setting spray to make it last even longer. Oh and by the way, as much as I love its lasting power, it is difficult to remove for the same reason. So I use 'Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil' which is for waterproof makeup removal to get rid of this foundation followed with a non harsh activated charcoal based cleanser.

Only con I can mention is that it is expensive.

This foundation has always look flawless on, high coverage which lasts all day or night. Doesn't even feel that heavy for such a good coverage! Never had any issues with flashback in photos either :)

I have been using this for the last 4 years, that's how much love and trust I have for this foundation and I haven't used any other foundation since. I have combination skin which sometimes gets a bit oily on the T zone, but this foundation never wipes off!!! That's how much staying power it has and doesn't make my skin oily. Just like the brand states that it has 15 hours staying power and is flawless, and trust me its does what it says. It was always difficult for me to find the perfect shade for my yellow brown Indian tone skin, and the shade 3W1 is the exact shade, and doesn't oxidize. I have been complimented so many times about how fresh I look even after 12 hours of applying the foundation. So I will definitely say to you ladies out theres is to go for it and become a new devotee of this foundation.

I came to try this product after researching full coverage long wear foundations and this product came up again and again. I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint. It's great coverage but still looks beautiful and natural. It doesn't look flat or cakey and it doesn't settle into my pores! I have oiky/combo skin prone to cystic acne and enlarged pores, this provided great coverage and stayed a natural velvet finish most of the day (without setting powder or spray). Lasts amazingly when paired with setting powder and spray. So far this is the best foundation I've found for my skin that lasts and provides great coverage without being too heavy.
