Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I have dry/ oily combination skin. I tried this foundation during the autumn/winter months, when my skin was more on the drier end. I found that this foundation accentuates the dry patches on my face. I have primed , moisturised and have tried to apply with beauty blender, buffing brush, stippling brush still with the same result. Its not a bad foundation , its just not for me. I also don't like the smell of it. This foundation however is long lasting, water and sweat-proof. Medium-Full coverage and is buildable.

Amazing foundation, great coverage, natural looking and long lasting, everything you need in a foundation! It's a bit pricey but totally worth it. And you can normally get a free sample at Farmers

This foundation does as it says it would. I love it and when I am looking at heading out I reach for this foundation. I love the flawless finish that it gives while covering up any flaws.. The perfect full coverage foundation

This foundation is excellent for a flawless face if you are looking for a full coverage. It literally stays in place all day no matter how oily your skin is. However I have stopped using this foundation as it became too light for my skin over the warmer months, I would have to purchase two shades one for winter and one for summer. Colour matching for olive skin with yellow undertones can be quite tricky.

I've been trailing different foundations over the last few months, and this was second on the list. Recommended to me from numerous people, and I'd read that the foundation that I was using is a dupe for this one.

Hated it! It didn't blend into my skin very well, and I tried numerous different application techniques (fingers, brush, sponge) but to no avail. It looked chalky, clung to any dry spots I had and sat in my creases. I'm almost pleased that I didn't like it though, because at over $80 a bottle it's the most expensive on the list of foundations I'm trying! The colour matched most of my face….except my nose. Never had such an issue before!

My little sister (23) and mum love it though. I'd definitely recommend going in and getting a 10 day sample before investing in a full bottle!

I LOVE this foundation its so amazing! Gives flawless coverage and stays on for hours. I suffer fro the horrid 'shiny nose' lol after a couple hours my nose is shining. This foundation holds it off for an extra couple of hours i only have to touch up once a day i love it.

I LOVE this product, I actually used it while staying at a friends place & i was blown away at the coverage & how flawless it looked. Unfortunately it is out of my price range :(

It is a really good light foundation with perfect coverage without looking cakey, my skin looked so amazing while using this, it blended into my skin well, the color matched perfectly and it stayed put throughout the whole day. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone only because of the price, there are better alternatives out there for less than half the cost of this one and let's be honest: you're not paying so much money for the foundation, you're paying for the name estee lauder.

I have very oily and acne prone skin. This stays on all day and maintains it's matte finish well into the afternoon which is a lot longer than any other foundation I've tried. It hasn't made my acne any worse. A little goes a long way so don't let the price tag scare you away!

Since I bought this foundation a year or so ago my skin has changed and is now a lot more dry - especially on my cheeks where I've started getting eczema-like patches, but still with a somewhat oily t-zone. The Double Wear does NOT sit nicely on the dry bits and I'd almost given up on it when I got some advice from a lovely girl about using a damp sponge (think Beauty Blender) to apply it. I have no words to describe how flawless my skin looks now even with the dryness! Smooth, awesome coverage, not too matte, and stays put aaalll day, even when it's hot/windy/rainy. I love it even more because I don't have to apply heaps of it and it never feels heavy or cakey.

Double Wear has a really decent range of colours too - I've always struggled to find something that suits my olive-ish skin tone but this range has the perfect shade for me!

Fantastic product and I love it, but I just wish it was either a) not so expensive, or b) came in a larger bottle for the same price. I feel like I could get something that's better value for money!
