Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

i am in inlove with this product not only does it do what it says it does BUT man does it last a long long time i know this is bad but i fell asleep with it on and woke up in the morning and it was still perfect i mean WOW. can not rave about it MORE

Having problem skin, bumps and lumps and lines and pimples i was a bit worried this product would be a bit thick and wrong for my skin. I couldnt be more wrong! There are sooo many shades there is bound to be something perfect for every skin colour! It lasts a long time as only a small amount is needed and gives a complete full coverage. It is also very light wearing. Been using this product for a month or so now daily and was so thrilled with the products performance I purchased a full bottle before my sample was finished. I love not having to do touch ups!

To be very honest, I was never interested in this foundation when all the hype and frantic behaviour started because it was just another over-priced foundation in my eyes. "Its just going to break me out like all others do and make my acne worse" were my thoughts.

Well stay tuned for the revelation!

I decided what the heck and went to get colour matched in the hope it would do for me what its been doing for so many others. Magic!

I think the consultant felt sorry for me looking at my face because I walked away with much more than 10days worth of a sample. After using it just once... wow... instance difference in my skin and that full coverage!

I prime my face with ELF primer just ever so lightly because I have really oily skin and then I apply the foundation with my fingertips. No I'm not uncivilized to not use makeup brushes, my acne doesnt allow me to get a flawless finish with brushes.

The foundation dries and sets really quickly so I have to work fairly fast to smooth it onto my face. I use to wear about 3 layers of foundation to cover my pimples and scarring but with DW I only need one decent layer applied evenly, and then any areas that havent been covered I apply another layer and blend it in. I find that eventhough DW dries and sets pretty quickly it really adaptable when you want to apply more layers because its blends beautifully.

I proceeded to bankrupt myself and purchase this and will be using this for the rest of time! I love the smell of DW, I love the creamy smoothness of foundation during application and I LOVE that is stays glued to you face the entire day. Not even a shower will make it budge. The best part is that is doesnt break me out and I've been getting the most amazing compliments about my skin because people dont understand what happened. I have never received compliments about my face, ever! One day I just appeared with almost perfect skin.

I recommend this from the bottom of soul to girls who are struggling with acne, scarring and low self-esteem due to being shy about their acne. DW has given me a new confidence about my self and not I'm not constantly checking my makeup to ensure it hasnt melted away. Just apply and forget about it!

I'm in love! I have really oily skin, no matter if I prime or not my makeup nearly always slides off. This product does not! It stays in place all day, it controls the oil and stays matte (if I've added powder) all day/night. The product itself is quite runny, so I use the palm of my hand to hold the product before I place it onto my skin. You don't need a lot, so if you're like me and switch between foundation and BB/CC cream then it will last for months! The foundations blends out so well, and with medium to full coverage I've found I'm not needed as much concealer on those pesky spots. I've also found that although it sinks into my gigantic pores it does not into my fine lines around my eyes. This is a perfect foundation for anyone... I can't recommend this enough.

I absolutely adore this foundation! It is truly full coverage and long lasting... so long lasting that it's a pain to remove! There is a whole range of colours, and you can get matched at your nearest counter.. Though, when you do, make sure to get a sample just to ensure you are getting the right colour, and that it works well with your skin because everyone is different! :) personally, I got matched to 3 different shades at 3 different counters and I chose which one I liked best haha for the amount your paying, you need to make sure it's peeerrrfect ;)

Didn't think I'd like Double Wear as my skin leans more towards being on the dry side - but if I put a layer of facial moisturiser on before my primer, it gives me the most flawless and long wearing finish of any foundation I've tried. Love this.

LOVE IT This is the only foundation that i have ever worn that has stayed on around my nose and under my nose, usually after an hour or so it peels or rubs off. This lasts so long and love the formula. I did have to get matched twice as the first time the guy matched me to warm bone which was very pink on my skin, but once I found my shade I absolutely loved it. The design is classic and lasting in a glass bottle. The PRICE is pretty ruff being $80 a bottle but it lasts ages and is totally worth considering its an amazing product.

This is my all time favourite foundation. It is natural, has good coverage, slides on and lasts. The foundation is silky and easy to blend into the skin and probably one of the best foundations I have come across to date. It is a little more expensive but worth every cent. I find that the coverage is exceptional and there is no need to use a concealer with this.

I've recently become a convert of DW after reading about it on the forum and doing a bit research. For the last 8 years or so I've always used Napoleon Perdis foundations but I honestly don't think I'll go back to them as this is sooo good.

Packaging wise, it's very plain. I would like to see this foundation have a pump applicator rather than the screw top. It's just a frosted glass bottle, It's quite heavy and think it wouldn't break easily if you were to drop it.

It took me 3 samples to find the correct shade but the lady behind the counter was very accommodating in helping me get the right one.

I find it easier to pour mine out into the sample pot they gave me and apply from there with either my real techniques sponge or a stippling brush.

It's quite thick and creamy but easy to apply with either a brush or sponge (haven't tried my fingers yet) and there is no funny smell either. The only downside to using a sponge is that I seem to use a bit more product that I would with a brush.

The coverage you get is up to you and how you apply it, I find just one coat is enough for normal day to day wear but if you want heavier coverage you can easily build it up.

I don't even bother looking in the mirror at work anymore as I know this is doing its job, it lasts all throughout the day with no touch ups required - I hope I can still say that when summer hits and things heat up as I really like the semi-matte finish you get from this.

I haven't had any problems with my skin reacting to it either, it's tough to remove but it seems as long as you take it off correctly your skin doesn't suffer.

The price tag is quite hefty but I feel for the quality of product you are getting its justified. I also don't need a primer or powder with this so that makes up for it being a bit more expensive I reckon :)

I was a bit hesitant to try this (because it costs an arm and a leg) bu holey moley it was worth every cent! I have son who is two so my usual makeup comes off pretty quickly, however I put DW on this morning at 6am, its now 830pm and my face still looks flawless, im not lying it looks like I have just applied it! I am in love with this miracle foundation! I am a bit concerned at the packaging, its glass, so if I drop this its history, so ill have to take good care of it. It has a good coverage, and definitely build able. The formula is a liquid foundation and they have many shades to choose from. The best foundation I have ever tried and ill definitely buy this again!
