Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I used this foundation for YEARS after struggling to find one that would stay on all day. I've reluctantly recently switched foundations after realising I was matched in the wrong shade....it lasts really well on the skin but doesn't make it look cakey. Also don't love that it doesn't have a pump, so it feels pretty messy

This isn't my all time favourite foundation but it is a great foundation if you want a transfer proof, long lasting, full coverage, water resistant sweat proof, hiking in summer then going for a swim and still looking perfect kind of foundation. It'll get you there and back. It is quite matte, it isn't very flexible once applied it sets and stays all day. I also purchased the Estee lauder powder and it sets it really well. It didn't feel that great on my skin it felt a bit heavy and dry, I prefer foundations to have health benefits for my skin and to feel natural and have some glow. It also didn't last as well as some foundations I have, but it was a great colour match.

Right so I have religiously been using MAC studio fix for years and cannot find anything to beat this product. The only issue I was having was the lightest shade of mac was perhaps still a bit to dark for me and needed blending. Estee Lauder was recommended to me over the make up obsessives Facebook page. They all raved about it so I gave in and paid the $80 for the foundation. Which in comparison to mac is MORE expensive so I was sceptical. I actually really like the foundation I opted for the second lightest shade as its summer and I've got a bit of tan on the top half of my body...in winter I would probably need the lightest. The shade match was pretty good but still needed a bit of blending to work it into my skin. Major downside to this foundation is its lack of pump so you have to be conscious about product control. Less is definitely more, it is a similar consistency to Mac's studio fix and provides maximum coverage. You have to work a bit quicker than with the mac foundation otherwise I could tell it would go cakey and be un workable into the skin. Overall I am very happy with the foundation, It stays on all day and provides me with great coverage and flawless skin. It covers my freckles and imperfections without layers and layers of the foundation.

I purchased this foundation after numerous ravings on makeup obsessives. I LOVE it!!! It's very expensive about $80 so I save it for special occasions most of the time. It matches my skin tone, stays flawless without touch ups til night time!!! I love the full coverage it gives me as I have a few imperfections :) I love it so much that I've convinced a few friends to purchase it too :)
