Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Year after year I keep coming back to this foundation. I was initially introduced to this product on my wedding day and I've never looked back! It goes on easily, gives amazing coverage and stays put all day! I can't rave enough about it!

I received a sample and I quite liked it, mainly because I have an oily skin. It lasts all day and it's truly mattifying. The only downside for me was that the shade seemed to have matched my skin tone at the beauty counter but it was actually too light. I used it anyway and just applied a darker powder over it which worked fine. You have to be quick with application because the foundation does set very quickly. I would only use this if I was going out to a party or during summer if I really feel the need to wear foundation. It is mainly suitable for the oily/combination type skins and would not recommend it for those with dry skin because it does not moisturize at all. Application is best when using a good quality moisturizer and this allows for a smoother application.

Fabulous! I has taken me many,many years to stubble upon such a foundation that ticks all the boxes. It sticks and stays, it blends aaannnd it covers all freckles and blemishes. If only it was more affordable and less addictive!

I brought the foundation from the Estée counter and I thought I was in love with it :( until my acne started going crazy! (Usually I don't get it really bad) but it was giving me huge swollen pimples that hurt and so I stopped it and my skin cleared up! (Had already gone through half a bottle). the application of the product wasn't very good either, if you didn't blend within 0.5 seconds you were left with orange lines as it oxidised. I used this once for a ball and the SPF turned the girl whiter than paper in every flash photo. I feel like I wasted $69 on a dissapointment.

I have tried a huge range of foundations and this is my all time favourite. I have Oily skin but I can also get dry patches of eczema. This has the best coverage and the best range of shades out of any foundation I have used. Super easy to apply giving a matte finish. I have used this product for almost a year and every time I try a different foundation, it goes to show just how good Double Wear really is. It lasts me all day AND night with the large majority of the foundation still remaining.

I decide to jump on the Doublewear wagon and give this a go, and for the first few times I wore it I really enjoyed it, gave great coverage it was easy to blend and buff into the skin and did last a reeeeeally long time. Then my skin started to get really irritated when I wore it, my skin started flaking and getting very itchy. I really wanted it to work for me as it isnt cheap, but again after giving my skin a few months break it had the same reaction. But, I do really love the elegance of this product and the packaging is great with the addition of a pump it would be even better.

I am in love with this foundation! The only fault is that there is no pump on the foundation bottle but that can be overlooked easily. The packaging is really nice although it can be easy to accidentally pour out too much product. The scent isn't anything special, and it is such a nice consistency. I apply this with a beauty blender and it looks so flawless, I didn't get quite the same finish with a foundation brush however. I would definitely recommend this foundation, although its a good idea to get a sample beforehand just in case you don't like it, as it is a very pricey foundation.

Like the title states this is hands down the best foundation I've used thus far. I have a bit of scarring and still get the odd pimple and this full coverage covers it so well requiring me to use LESS concealer than what i would normally use with other foundations. It is a thicker consistency and oxidizes quite quickly so you need to work with it at pace. It states that it feels lightweight which to me it doesn't. But it definitely is long lasting. I've worn it to all night festivals so we are talking dancing, sweating, squashed up against people, heat, humidity and it is still just as good when the sun comes up as it was when I put it on as the sun was going down (its normally my eye makeup that fails me). The packaging is OK. Kinda cute. Frosted glass with gold. I would definitely use this again and have already recommended it to many people.

I went to multiple counters to be matched and was matched a different colour at every one, but none of these matches seemed to suit my skin. I enjoy this for a little while however after an hour or so my skin feels extremely dry even with the use of a primer and this foundation does not cover my redness at all, I also found it oxidised (went orange throughout the day). Personally not my favourite covering redness is a biggie for me and the only reason I wear foundation so for this reason I personally wouldn't use again, also not a huge fan of the shades available I found all are extremely pink or yellow based so for my olive skintone this doesn't quite match.

This is my holy grail foundation! The coverage is the best I've seen on a foundation and the consistency is just right. In addition there are so many shades and tones to choose from so you will be able to pick one that matches your natural skin tone almost exactly! I mix two shades: 2W2 Rattan and 3W1 Tawny to get the perfect shade. Although the price is quite high; almost $70 RRP for a standard 30ml bottle in NZ, it is definitely worth splurging on and I will continue to purchase Estee Lauder's Double Wear foundation over and over again. It keeps your face matte, which is perfect for my oily ance prone skin, and has amazing staying power.
