Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I received a trial version of this foundation from the pharmacy last year while they had a free colour matching promo going on. The lady matched me spot on and I went home with a 10 day sample of Desert Beige. This foundation definitely stuck to my skin like nothing before it ever has. I could fall asleep on the couch after a big night and wake up with pretty much flawless makeup the next day - amazeballs. I applied it with a flat top foundation brush and found it a but streaky, and then tried my Bionic Buffer brush and it worked fab, smooth airbrrushed skin for the whole day. A little goes a long way, and I got way more than 10 days out of my little pottle - and I like full coverage too. The only downsides are that it smells quite chemically, and the price! Holy moly the price! Its the only thing keeping me from repurchasing, but other than that I reckon this warpaint is great!

This was given to me as a gift from two of my Aunties. I was quite excited to try this as it is an expensive foundation but I hate to say it, I think I have found a better one than this... The one thing I can remember about this foundation is that I wasnt too fond of the feeling it had on the skin throughtout the day. However it did give me full coverage, lasted all day and it does have more of a yellow undertone which I liked as it did help cover my redness due to my problematic skin. But for those of you who have more of a cooltone vampy pale skin, it may not suit as it may give you a mask affect if not blended properley. I would like to give this foundation another go as my techniques with make up have gotten better since I used this foundation last and I do remember enjoying it, It was just the feeling it left on my skin I didnt like but wether or not that was a technique error of mine or the product itself Im not too sure? I believe that expensive foundations are worth the money so it may have just been me not knowing how to use it properley ;)

This foundation offers long staying power as well as medium / build able coverage. I would only recommended to people who have oily / combo skin as I think it would be too drying for other skin types !

The best foundation I've owned It has great coverage. Hides pigmentation It lasts all day and night If I fall asleep with it on I look great still when I wake up.

This is my go to foundation! I wear it all day every day and I love it so much. I have normal to oily skin and it lasts all day and into the night without having to reapply and still looks like I've just applied it. Its medium to full coverage, really blendable and looks amazing on. I don't even need to wear a concealer with this foundation, it covers any imperfection really well. Doesn't go patchy or uneven and best of all no shine! Even during the hot sweaty summer months!

I've struggled so much to find a perfect foundation for my skin and always spent $20-$30 on foundations which didn't really do much because they were cheaper. I decided i'd pay a little bit extra for foundation that really works. I love matte foundations as I have very oily skin so i've found double wear works perfectly. I find its long lasting when going out i don't need to touch up when going night clubbing as long as I have a good powder on aswell. The coverage is amazing and I would highly recommend.

It certainly has a full coverage, I'll give it that. I'll also say that if you're at all dry skinned..proceed with caution. It has the tendency to emphasize dry areas and settle into lines..so perhaps use a foundation brush to get a nice even coverage, and don't use too close to the eye area. The lasting power is great, it does last without changing on the skin (I'm a dry combination skin type). I do prefer it's new little sister, Doublewear light foundation though, as this has a bit more of a glow to it while still delivering lasting power.

This is really worth the penny's! Absolute perfect all day coverage! Is a thicker consistency but you don't need much to cover your face and you don't need to re apply at all so the cost of it works out better than a cheaper one you need to top up throughout the day, I've been sing with this one and looked awesome out of the pool. Only thing I would avoid is dry skin tends to be magnified using this.so keep your face hydrated :-)

I fell in love with this foundation when I first discovered it. After years and years of looking for a foundation that would actually stay on my face for the entire day this one its like magic to me.

I cant say enough good things about this product and have since gotten other people onto it as well.

I own 15+ foundations (oops?) and this is still hands-down my favourite for coverage and staying power! My go-to foundation for work where I have to look polished, all day, and don't have time to be checking and touching up. I can put it on at 6am and come home at 6pm with it looking pretty much as good as it did when I first applied it. My skin can get very patchy and red but it's great at covering that. It also stays fairly matte, especially in areas such as the sides of my nose and my chin, where I tend to develop shine first. It is pricey but I don't regret my investment one bit
