My favourite full coverage 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.

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 .

At Long Long last!!!

It has taken me absolute years to find a foundation that was suited to me, not cakey, not oily, and not to make me look like a ghost (if there was a shade called Casper, I would be it). I went to the local Farmers, had a quick consult, and was given a small pottle to try. I have combination and sensitive skin, this did not irritate my skin in the slightest. I found this to be super long lasting, both throughout the day, and the actual product itself, a little goes a long way. This applied with a mattifying powder is my daily look now, I cannot be without it!! There is no smell I can detect, and I wear scarves every day and there was no rub off. Removal is a breeze, and pores are not left clogged after Sad I did not discover this years ago. Yes it may be pricey, but you actually save money if you get shade matched in store, versus trying random foundations in the hope they will be 'The One'

Tips: Get shade matched by a professional, see how it looks like in natural light, you will never go to anything else again!!

The best foundation!

I love this foundation for my combination skin! I've found it's one of the first foundations where I have found a perfect match for my skin tone! Its so easy to use, doesn't show my pores and lasts all day.

I apply it with a flat top brush and I find that it buffs into my skin really nicely. I also find you can wear it lightly for a nice light coverage or put a bit more on for a full coverage look without it being cakey.

The coverage is great and I love the matte finish.

The only negative is the price point but it's definitely worth it!

Tips: Go into the store and get then to match your colour, plus you get a take-home sample.

I hate this foundation

For starters it is so expensive, and the formula is so thick, it doesn't come with a pump but is an additional extra feature so even more expensive and the design of the bottle sees that you overspill all the time wasting product.

After so many good reviews I grabbed a bottle after being colour matched at a EL counter, but after only one application I was ready to pass it onto someone else, lucky for me one of my friends has been a doublewear user and lover for years and is the same shade as myself so it found its way into her hands.

It was like I had applied a thick layer of latex across my face, it felt rigid, and mask like I hated the feel, and every movement made a wrinkle set in the makeup. I can only assume it was due to my skin type being combination that made it such a pain, I applied using a brush and it was awful, tried with a sponge and it just went patchy. However, it looks so good on other people, my friend has oily skin and it looks amazing on her.

Clubbing Fave

I use this foundation if I know im going to be sweating because, I have no idea how, but it sticks to my face like glue. The formula is thick, but it lasts so it doesn't bother me that much.

Tips: The only downside is that there is a slight flashback which can make you look a lot paler than you actually are , but i usually just pack on the bronzer

Brilliant!

I've recently been trying new foundations & Estée Lauder Doublewear foundation is now my new favourite. I just love the fresco, perfect colluding fir me & you can use a small amount for everyday or apply more layers for more coverage or night, it stays on & makes my skin look amazing with its flawless coverage!

Tips: Use a foundation brush for more even coverage

My new work foundation

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.

Tips: Blend as soon as your apply the foundation as it dries quickly.

DoubleWear, Estee Lauder

A fantastic foundation, it is long wearing lasts all day and has a great selection of colours, if you ask they will usually give you a couple of samples to take away to make sure you get the colour right.

So long wearing!

I love how long wearing this foundation is, and how it manages to survive in even the muggiest of temperatures.

I took it with me on a trip to south east asia and was worried that I might sweat it all off, but it lasted really well, and I didn't have any problems wearing it for long days out in the sun!

I have really sensitive dry skin and have not had any problems with it, a lot of foundations have made me break out in the past, but this has never happened with doublewear.

5/5 Definitely recommend it to anyone in need of a foundation that can brave warm days while still looking flawless.
