Estee Lauder Double Wear exceeds ALL of my expectations. I first tried it around 6 months ago when a friend told me that they offer 10 day samples and free colour matching at the pharmacy. I had wanted to try it for a long time and that was the perfect incentive to finally give it a go!
I don't have oily skin but I find that most foundations start to slide off or move around halfway through the day. Even when using a powder over top I could never find anything that lasted ALL day. The closest I came was Revlon Colourstay but even still I was starting to look patchy by mid afternoon.
Double Wear puts all other foundations to shame. The consistency is light and very blend-able yet it covers EVERY imperfection. I no longer need a concealer even when I have breakouts or very dark circles. I apply my foundation with a Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush (the greatest brush EVER made).
Double wear lasts ALL day. Even in hot temperatures and even when my face gets wet & it doesn't transfer onto anything. It still looks the same at night before I wash my face than it does when I apply it first thing in the morning.
I will never use another foundation as long as this one is around. It is well worth the $80 that it costs & Farmers quite often have 10 - 20% off Estee Lauder so grab it then & save yourself some money.
I fell in love with this product right away upon trying it for only 1 day! price wise, yes it is a bit expensive, but It is definitely worth it! I bought mine for $80 at Life Pharmacy and my shade is Rattan 84. It gives me that flawless finish, absolutely full-coverage. The first day I used it after purchase, it stayed on for sold 12 hours! Even my husband gave me a compliment on this. LOVE IT!
Tips: Try using a beauty blender instead of brush to give you a smooth and airbrush like finish. Also, if you are like me who looks shiny on the "T" zone, apply powder over foundation and you will look just fine. :)
