Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I love the coverage of this foundation, and that it dries nicely and doesn't rub off much. Still haven't found the right shade (not olive enough) even though there are lots of shades! I usually prefer foundations that are lighter in texture but this works well. Definitely expensive though, but should last a while since you don't use much to cover your face.

I fall in and out of love with this product!

I find this quite a full coverage foundation and tend to only wear this going out of an evening.

This does leave you looking flawless and have worn it a few times for photo shoots.. tends to photograph well without giving without. This may look too heavy for day wear and or summer. The colour options are limited and this is quite expensive but does last a long time.

I may try this product again over winter and try to apply with my Sigma Flat Kabuki.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a full coverage matte look.. colour selections limited so make sure the colour is right for you. Its a lot of money to get the wrong colour and be unhappy.

This is definitely expensive, but definitely worth it. I got colour matched and tested the foundation out for a few days before buying a bottle and it is one of the best makeup decisions I have ever made. I get home at the end of the day with my makeup looking just how it did when I applied it in the morning! This is very full coverage and in future I will most likely save this for days where I want extra coverage or special occasions, nights out etc. This really goes on and stays on, doesn't go patchy or flaky, doesn't fade or wear off. Every other foundation I have tried sinks into those smiles lines every day and I find myself trying to blend them out when I go to the bathroom - I couldn't believe it when I didn't have this problem with double wear! Applies and buffs into the skin well, I have tried this with both a duo fiber brush and the RT buffing brush and both work well with this foundation.

I have a love hate relationship with this foundation.

Love - because it stays on all day, it almost looks flawless and its full coverage, not sticky

Hate - can look cakey, you need the exact amount or less to make it look flawless, it can take a tiny dab of this to make you look cakey, it feels heavy, i can just feel it on my skin, its not a natural finish, you can definitely tell you're wearing foundation, can't find a spot on match to my skin tone, price is expensive

It seems like i have more cons than pros but i really do like this foundation but only on days I'm out and about all day, and you need a refresher like mac fix + or something to make it look less heavy and cakey

THIS IS COMPLETELY AMAZING!!! It only needs a tiny bit to cover your whole face, and it stays on for so so long!!!

I had found it so hard to find a good foundation i had tried so many from expensive to cheap and finally i got recommended to try double wear it has been 4 years now and i still love it as much as i did on the first day! i use to find my make up wouldn't last all day and now this with a bit of powder and im set for the day!

It's been a week now and I'm impressed. This foundation is long wearing and does not move! I had a nap and when I woke up it was still there. I didn't even use a primer with it but the coverage was even and full just how I like it! If you like sheer coverage this may not be the foundation for you but I found that it really concealed imperfections well and was not oily ( I have combination/oily skin) but was impressed with this Matt finish.

I LOVE this foundation, it lasts all day on my oily skin and looks incredible. I like the fact that it is a medium to full coverage so I can sheer it out for a really light application or I can apply a little more and have a flawless face. Colour is really nice too for my pale pink undertone skin.

After all the hype about this product... I really wanted to love it. But unfortunately I just cant! Big thumbs down for me.

I have quite oily, breakout prone skin. Everytime I use this foundation my skin breaks out worse than it ever has. The product itself slips around all day and needs to be touched up constantly. I definitely would not buy this again for the price it is!

What an awesome range of colours to match every skin tone! Even managed to find one that matched me perfectly, cool bone.

I found the coverage superb and they staying power was incredible, managed a full 12 hour shift with out any flaking. However I felt it was quite dehydrating for my temperamental skin and after about a week of use my skin was very dry and dull. Solved this problem by mixing with a BB Cream because I couldn't stand to let such a great colour go to waste.
