Love it

This is one of the only foundations I have found that actually stays on and does what it says.

I've used it for a couple of years and recently tried a different preduction. Won't be doing that again, will be sticking with Estee Lauder from now on.

It gives a great coverage that dosent look cakey or blotchy. And it stays.

Only downfall is it doesn't have a pump or anything so you have to tip the bottle to get it out, easy to waste it that way, but if you are careful you won't.

Tips: Using a proper foundation brush helps it go on bettter and stay for longer.

Flawless skin

I found this product fantastic for use on oily skin. I have large dark freckles on my face and with enough building I am able to cover them, however I found it to be a very heavy foundation. It was also hard to colour match to my skin, especially in the winter when I'm paler. It goes on great with a BB or a brush, and doesn't transfer or shift. Would use again!

Long wearing foundation

This foundation does what it says - it lasts on your skin all day. It is a nice foundation to apply, I use a foundation brush and find it has good coverage - it is on the denser side of liquid (I mean it isn't runny). For the great coverage and long lasting wear does come with the problem of removal at the end of the day. So you do need to invest in a cleanser that will remove all traces off your skin. There are some good ones out there and Estée Lauder do make one that works well with this foundation. Love the product and are still using even though the price tag is higher than what I would normally spend on foundation.

Tips: As above a good cleanser to remove at the end of the day

Best I've found

I've been using Estee Lauder Doublewear for 12 years. It provides the best coverage for my acne scarred skin. As I've aged (now 36), it continues to cover and blend the best out of all I've tried. I've tried a few other cheaper foundations over the years, but they either become see-through after a few hours, or change colour. Doublewear doesn't change, stays on for 12+ hours. Although I do find myself blotting the T-zone after about 4 hours, but that ok with me. I also carry a cover stick for around the nose after 8 hours. Also, I have had to put extra moisturiser on, especially during winter when my skin is very dry, I've found this as I've aged - Doublewear can be very drying, especially around the eyes, so a good eye cream is critical. A good primer is important too, as it smooths the Doublewear on easily. Hence only 4 stars.

Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation

This has been the nicest foundation I have used , easy to apply and looked good all day long , even on a hot day there was no change . There is excellent coverage of my aging skin but it never feels heavy .

Love this !

This foundation is great ! A small bit goes a very long way and it has great coverage. It dries semi matte and is a bit thick but once use could probably last a couple of days. It causes breakouts if it isn't washed off correctly (you'll need more than just a makeup wipe). You'll also need a good moisturiser as I have found this makes my skin really dry but otherwise I think it's great. I have recommended it to my sister and she has had great results with it aswell !

Tips: Be careful of which setting spray/powder you use as some of them make it look a bit cakey.

Foundation that lasts

I have been using this foundation for a few years now and I can not find anything better, I love this foundation. This is one of the only foundations I have found that does exactly what it says. It has amazing coverage, covering all my imperfections. Applies beautifully and lasts the day, no need to reapply at any point of the day or night.

A small amount goes a long way and covers the whole face

Tips: If you are looking for full coverage use a beauty blender to build a flawless finish

Full Coverage!

This is a very full coverage make up, whilst I don't use it anymore because I find the foundation is a bit to thick for me now days. It was a staple when I was a teenager (I am now 24). It would cover even the biggest red blotch that I had on my face for a smooth finish. I wouldn't say this is a very natural make up as its full coverage, but it is buildable. It is one of the best foundations if you are after staying power! It would last from the beginning of class at uni till the very end! I would sometimes mix it in with my moisturiser in order to make it a bit lighter for every day.

Matte, thick, full coverage foundation

I used to use this when the matte look was in and when my skin needed the full coverage. It comes in a luxurious feeling glass bottle and is definitely a full coverage makeup.

My skin has improved since and I prefer a lighter coverage so I'm not using this one as much. It definitely works well though if you are after a full coverage foundation that doesn't budge all day. It doesn't look very natural because it's so full coverage but it will cover essentially everything and leave you with very matte skin.

I find you need to work fairly quickly with it though because it can set and be streaky if you want to build it later.

Foundation lives up to its name

This foundation really is a long wear product it lasts all day and into early evening, it outlives all the other products you use on face with it! For a long wearing product you would think it would be thick cakey, but it glides onto the face and is very buildable. Does not dry out the face and it covers all imperfections of have any. Does not stick to dry spots or any pimples if happen to have any. An essential item to have in makeup collection especially for those times you are attending an event that goes late into the night.

Tips: It's more of a matte foundation but can be easily glowed up with a light translucent powder and soft highlighter. Great used on lips as a base for lipstick, makes everything last longer.
