Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Double wear definitely makes it into my top 5 favourite foundations (ok I'm a foundation hoarder) it's not my number one but it's definitely worth every cent! I really found that it was severely over hyped though, it's a beautiful foundation with great coverage but you do require a good primer and great application technique to make it work perfectly on your skin. I never reach for DW when I'm in a rush! However I love the slightly matte finish it gives my skin when I get it just right. It has good staying power when powdered down, even though I am fairly oily. I also find it very reasonably priced now EL dropped the prices!

I found this foundation very good for full coverage, I did find I had to reapply powder after around 5-6hours because it started to look a little oily, but other than that totally recommend it, I'm very active teaching dance classes and found it does stay in place through the duration of my day.

This is defiantly my go to foundation. Stays well and applys well, just have trouble with getting the right colour! The one i use now only works when im tan but the hype about this foundation is defiantly true.

This foundation definitely stands up to what it claims to do. Its full coverage and i would say a demi matte finish. Id definitely buy it again

The hype for this foundation was crraaazzzzyyyy, so I decided to join in with the other and tried it out.

Would I use it again? I probably won't use it again. I still have my first bottle and its only half, its been like 6months now. This is because the matte finish that it give, brought alot of the dryness of my skin out. It made the dry patches on my face appear more.

-It did say, what it said it would which is amazing

-I would recommend this to a friend who doesn't have dry skin.

Ah the woes of being pale as a ghost! One of my constant troubles is there are about 2 foundations that suit my skintone and they happen to be asian bb creams that are extremely expensive here. When I saw Estee Lauder run the free 1 week sample promotion for this I thought I'd try my luck. So I went instore and a lovely lady matched my up with the lightest shade. I think it must've been the slightly yellow lighting instore but when I got home and looked at myself I saw a really yellow patch on my otherwise slightly rose but otherwise white face. I was however really impressed with the staying power, this really does live up to its name for longitivity. I have tried having a full face of this a couple times and it doesn't look too bad, as long as I blend down to my neck. Really wished they made a lighter shade because then I'd definitely go buy this!

Love it - really great staying power, stays put until I wash it off at night. Nice finish on the skin compared to other brands I've tried. Hate it - no pump, I never get the same amount and waste product dripping down the bottle. It is hard to apply, currently I use a stippling brush, then pat over with a damp beauty blender, which is really to much work in the morning. It also sinks into my pores. But for the saying power and ability to keep the shine (mostly) under control would repurchase.

I love this foundation, it's become my every day go to liquid foundation. I work 11 hour shifts and this is the only foundation I have tried that stays on throughout the day with the least issues. The colour matching is pretty easy, I find they have a good range of colours. The only issue I have with it is when I try to put a light under eye concealer on top of it (or any other liquid/cream product on top) it goes patchy and leaves me with foundation was spots.
