Best Foundation EVER!

I was a bit hesitant to try this (because it costs an arm and a leg) bu holey moley it was worth every cent! I have son who is two so my usual makeup comes off pretty quickly, however I put DW on this morning at 6am, its now 830pm and my face still looks flawless, im not lying it looks like I have just applied it! I am in love with this miracle foundation! I am a bit concerned at the packaging, its glass, so if I drop this its history, so ill have to take good care of it. It has a good coverage, and definitely build able. The formula is a liquid foundation and they have many shades to choose from. The best foundation I have ever tried and ill definitely buy this again!

Tips: Get colour matched at your local estee lauder. I had great customer service at the Henderson branch :]

A Foundation Favourite

I have used double wear for several months and it certainly does what it says, it lasts all day but you do need a good cleanser to remove it. It is my favorite foundation when I need coverage that is guaranteed to last. The only downside I have found is it can be very drying.

AMAZING

this foundation is the best I have ever had! it is very light weight and stays perfect for hours. I used it for work and daily life and my skin stayed great it didn't block my pores or cause my skin to go oily. Fabulous Foundation and I have tried nearly every brand and this is by far the best of them all

Best foundation I've ever used

This is actually the best foundation. It covers like it says it will & then it stays in place, even when you get wet.

Tips: I use a buffer brush to apply mine for best coverage/ blending & top it off with some bronzer to make sure I don't look too 'flat' coloured

You get what you pay for!

This foundation really is so good. It is super full coverage (providing you put on a couple of coats) and lasts all day. It doesn't smudge onto the collar of the top that I'm wearing which is a huge plus!

Shade wise, I would totally recommend getting colour matched at your nearest counter, in my experience the ladies have always been super helpful! There's no point in spending all the money if the shade isn't going to look right on you!

I don't like the pouring tip, I'm afraid that I'l waste some, so I pour it into my sample pot and go from there.

10/10 would totally recommend!

Tips: A little goes a long way - start off with less and build up more coverage if you need it.

Holy Grail!

I love this foundation! Lasts all day, covers up my acne and doesn't look caked on! Only issue i have is with my acne flaring up to begin with but I changed my skin routine and this is back to normal! Great coverage and lasts all day!

Tips: Use a beauty blender to get flawless finish along with the doublewear concealer!

Estée Lauder double wear

I'm currently using this product after I was offered a sample. The main advantages for me are the shade matches my skin pretty perfectly without making me look washed out ( I have very pale skin) and being a liquid foundation, it doesn't sit in my wrinkles but still gives good coverage and stays on very well. The downsides? It's expensive and does give me breakouts with prolonged use

Tips: I use a translucent powder which gives a pretty flawless result

Not for dry skin

Double wear does some things amazingly. It's got a great colour selection, the longevity is amazing, coverage is buildable but pretty full from one coat and its easy to apply. However! If you have dry skin, this will make it soooo much worse. I have dry skin and first tried applying it with a brush. I found that it clung to all my dry patches and coloured them pretty orange. It also makes my peach fuzz stand out from a mile away! Applying it with a wet beauty blender made it a bit better but its still not something i would reccomend if you have dry or combo/dry skin.

Where have you been all my life?!

I had heard of Estée Lauder double wear foundation a few times and heard it was really good! I had wanted it for a long time but was afraid of change. I have now been using this for the past month and I wish I had brought is sooner! This is the most amazing foundation! It has medium coverage which is very build able! It lasts all day and my skin is still looking flawless even after working everyday! It blends well and doesn't make my skin look painted. I use it with the Estée Lauder matte effect primer too so it doesn't stick to my dry patches. I am in love!

Tips: Make sure you get your colour matched by a professional wherever you plan to purchase if you can! I got mine from farmers and they were great!

Estee lauder double wear foundation

I have tried two different formulas of the estee lauder double wear - the first has the spf 10 in it, the other does not - the one with the spf in it is the original formula and it has the BEST staying power! it is definitely standing up to its name of staying in place! Takes at least a double cleanse if not more to remove it afterwards. Whereas i have found with the version that does not have the spf in it, it doesn't quite have the same durability - still lasts a long time just not as long and it is easier to remove with cleanser at the end of the day. I think that the new formula - without the spf hasn't yet reached NZ and they are only selling it overseas currently so be aware when buying online whether you are buying the old or new formula.

Tips: I love to use the original beauty blender to apply my EL double wear foundation. have a good cleaner to remove this foundation as it has the ability to clog pores and produce acne if it isnt removed properly - double or even triple cleanse to ensure all the foundation has been removed at night before going to bed :)
