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.

Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation

The coverage is amazing and it is long lasting but I don't think its worth the price. I don't like the way it goes on my skin and it feels like I'm wearing more makeup then i actually am.

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.

On the fence with this product

I had heard rave reviews about this foundation online, i was away and had forgotten my usual foundation so i decided to give it a go.

When the estee lauder lady applied it on my combination skin it looked great - matte and flawless yet thevnext time i applied it myself it looked cakey and stuck to my dry patches in the grossest way!

However i recently discovered i was applying wrong, now that im using a damp beauty blender to apply this to my face my makeup is beautiful and flawless so im going to give it a chance

Tips: If you have dry patches i highly recommend using a damp beauty blender to apply
