Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

This foundation does everything is says it will. It is light and glides on my skin so well without drying it out during the day, even thou it stays on ALL DAY. I find that I do not need to touch up whilst wearing this foundation and my skin always looks flawless. The packaging is a standard glass bottle, which I find I have to be careful as you do not need a lot of this product to get a good even coverage. Don't use to much as you can get a cakey look. I use a small amount and this gives me a good coverage for my whole face. It is hard to remove and if you do not use a make-up remover than you will need to cleanse twice to get all traces of foundation off. I have tried many foundations and always revert back to this product because it does work... so I am happy to purchase the make-up remover oil with it. love love love.

I had been searching and searching for a full coverage foundation that doesn't dry me out, doesn't make me break out, doesn't shift and gives full coverage and I have finally found it!

It sits well on my skin, although I do have oily skin but a quick dust with powder soon fixes that.

It is full coverage and lasts. You really need to cleanse and scrub your face to remove this baby!

The packaging is gorgeously simple. It makes me feel really classy with its glass bottle and gold lid and writing.

It has been matched perfectly to my skin tone. The assistant at my local Farmers gave me a couple of different samples to try and find the right one as it isn't cheap. I really appreciated the customer service as she also wanted me to find the perfect match.

I don't wear foundation every day but when I do this foundation never fails. With the full coverage I feel beautiful and confident as I have acne scars.

It really is worth the price. (although if Farmers are having a sale on cosmetics it is even better!)

I wanted to get a foundation that had great coverage and lasted longer than the trip to work. I was also given a bit of birthday cash so went into Farmers not caring of the cost, just wanting a decent foundation. The Farmers beauty consultant recommended the Estee Lauder Doublewear. She colour matched me and I bought it and went home to try.

The first thing I noticed was the great coverage. It really did make my skin look smooth. However I realised due to my makeup style that its more of an evening makeup for me. Which is fine. I guess I can handle my makeup melting off my face at work but feeling great about my makeup when I am out in the evenings/weekends.

But... after applying the foundation, my skin felt very tight. Like I was doing a facemask that pulls on your skin when drying. Its a rather weird sensation so I ended up washing it off. As I have young kids and minimal social life at the moment, I havent had the opportunity to take it for a test drive in the evenings yet. I am hoping that when I next apply it, that I forget/or get used to that feeling of my skin shrinking..... I'll have to as i have invested now!

I've heard the hype, and finally got round (well emptied my current foundation) to try this foundation. I highly recommend getting a test pot from a beauty counter, as I needed to blend two colours to get the right shade.

This foundation is silky smooth with a liquid almost water like touch. It's super easy to blend and apply and has fantastic coverage. Aside from under eye make-up, I use the foundation as concealer! I dot it on any blemishes or marks after I apply to my face (I'm over 30 and still get pimples, argh!) and a light dusting of powder to set it. I have oily skin, so powder is a must in my make-up ritual, but on days around the house, I can forgo it and still get great wear all day long.

My favourite part is how light weight the product the is, it feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. And for days I want just a light touch of coverage, I mix it with my moisturiser and get a dewy application. I love how versatile it is and yet it still gives a flawless application and blends easily. It also doesn't settle in any of my fine lines - I have some fine lines on my forehead and between my eyes, and this product doesn't accentuate these pesky lines.

I also think the price is great value. Compared to my other high end foundation, this product is cheaper, last longer, is lighter to touch and easier to apply. Definitely my go to foundation!

I've used this foundation for about 2 years now. I was hesitant to try it due to the high price, but I got a sample and I fell in love!

Application is very nice. Personally I use a beauty blender because no foundation looks good with a brush for me, but I do know it works well with a brush for some people. It is a thin formula but at the same time it's quite thick - you can definitely feel it on your face when it's dry.

The coverage is AMAZING. It takes away all of my redness, and covers my acne and scarring really well. It seems to mix really well with my skin because as long as I prepare my skin properly, it doesn't emphasize dry patches, even though it is a matte/satin finish. My skin type is combo so finding a foundation that works for oily AND dry skin is important for me. Although if you are someone with more dry patches than me, you might struggle with covering them because of the thickness of the formula.

It lasts so long, I can get a full day of wear out of it and I'm sure it would last longer. It can take a bit of effort to take off since it does dry so thickly, but as long as you have a good makeup remover you will be fine.

Overall I highly recommend this foundation. I would encourage people with very dry flaky skin to get a sample before spending $60+ on it. It's definitely my favourite foundation to wear if I'm going out or if I have an event to go to.

Having begun a new job working in a pool complex and finding my foundation melting away during the long work day, I remembered friends saying that Double Wear was the best foundation they’ve ever had and went to get some. I tried it the best work day, and it lasted a whole 9 hours and then some! It’s not perfect, I still had to dab it on my breaks, but it is still pretty amazing, and better than anything else I’ve used.

I love this foundation for special occasions and events. I wore this for the ball and it lasted well without requiring to be touched up. I think this is my first ever high end purchase but its price when compared to other "drugstore" foundations isn't that different.

I was shade matched at a Farmers store and they also give out a sample of the foundation. It isn't the most weightless of foundations but surprisingly it didn't make my face look caked on or over done. My skin wasn't irritated and it didn't cause me to break out.

Having used this for the last ten or so years it's always been my go to. You don't need to use much whatsoever, so a little goes a long way and it is 'double long wear' - you can go to work in the morning; go out to dinner; get home and accidentally fall asleep in your makeup then wake up with it still sat there like a trooper the next morning. The only downside is that it tends to be a bit drying in winter and you may have to add some moisturizing serum to it in order for it to stay looking fresh.
