Estee Lauder Double Wear is undoubtable one of my top foundations! It is 'Full Coverage" with a "matte finish" which was one of the reasons I was drawn to trying it in the first place! Once the product is applied - it does not budge! The skin appears flawless for the duration of the day, perfect for those who do not have time to reapply/touch up make up, especially suitable for gym-goers - the amount of times I have been complimented on my makeup AFTER a sweaty gym session is insane! In addition to the coverage, Double Wear contains SPF, which is an added bonus which not all Foundations offer.
There are so many different shades available (60+), so you shouldn't have any issues finding the perfect shade for you. I have two different shades that I alternate between depending on the season.
Although it is on the higher end in terms of cost, I feel that it is worth it. I would suggest waiting until it goes on sale - Farmers, Sephora & Smith and Caugheys often have 20% off sales!
PROS: - This foundation does what it says it will do - providing double the wear time compared to most other foundations. - The skin appears flawless, perfect for nights out! - It is available in 60+ accounting for a variety of undertones. - Sleek packaging in a glass bottle, easy to get the product out of. - Contains SPF 10.
CONS: - May not be suitable for those with 'dryer' skin as it can be quite drying on the skin. For best results apply to fully moisturised and primed skin. - I would love for the pump was included with the packaging as they come seperately at an extra cost. - A little on the pricey side compared to most other foundations.
I love this foundation. I have been using this foundation for years and it is one of my favourite foundations! It is a full coverage foundation that is very long lasting. For example, I will put it on at 6am and take it off at 9pm and my makeup has stayed perfect all day. My makeup always looks flawless. I will continue to keep repurchasing this foundation.
Tips: It is more on the expensive side, so make sure to look out for when it is on sale or when they have the buy two products and get a free gift set deal.
