The One

Double wear definitely makes it into my top 5 favourite foundations (ok I'm a foundation hoarder) it's not my number one but it's definitely worth every cent! I really found that it was severely over hyped though, it's a beautiful foundation with great coverage but you do require a good primer and great application technique to make it work perfectly on your skin. I never reach for DW when I'm in a rush! However I love the slightly matte finish it gives my skin when I get it just right. It has good staying power when powdered down, even though I am fairly oily. I also find it very reasonably priced now EL dropped the prices!

Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation

I found this foundation very good for full coverage, I did find I had to reapply powder after around 5-6hours because it started to look a little oily, but other than that totally recommend it, I'm very active teaching dance classes and found it does stay in place through the duration of my day.

Tips: Make sure your well moisturised before you apple double wear to ensure it sits nicely without cracking and moving.

Very long lasting

This is defiantly my go to foundation. Stays well and applys well, just have trouble with getting the right colour! The one i use now only works when im tan but the hype about this foundation is defiantly true.

Tips: Get colour matched but by someone that knows what they are talking about! Even get a tester to try before hand. I have found beauty blender makes it apply the best.

Double Wear

This foundation definitely stands up to what it claims to do. Its full coverage and i would say a demi matte finish. Id definitely buy it again

Tips: Apply with a damp beauty blender.. also DEFINITELY use a primer.. and not a matte primer.. use a hydrating primer.

Estee lauder in Ecru

I wasn't matched to the right colour in the store so its a little too dark for me and oxidises quickly if i don't wear a primer. But if i do omg! One of my favourites as it looks so matte and stays on for hours with very minimal flashback in photos.

Tips: Make sure you get matched to the right colour

IT'S OKAY!

The hype for this foundation was crraaazzzzyyyy, so I decided to join in with the other and tried it out.

Would I use it again? I probably won't use it again. I still have my first bottle and its only half, its been like 6months now. This is because the matte finish that it give, brought alot of the dryness of my skin out. It made the dry patches on my face appear more.

-It did say, what it said it would which is amazing

-I would recommend this to a friend who doesn't have dry skin.

Tips: Use a small amount and start to build it up, so that it does not look cakey.

Great but too dark

Ah the woes of being pale as a ghost! One of my constant troubles is there are about 2 foundations that suit my skintone and they happen to be asian bb creams that are extremely expensive here. When I saw Estee Lauder run the free 1 week sample promotion for this I thought I'd try my luck. So I went instore and a lovely lady matched my up with the lightest shade. I think it must've been the slightly yellow lighting instore but when I got home and looked at myself I saw a really yellow patch on my otherwise slightly rose but otherwise white face. I was however really impressed with the staying power, this really does live up to its name for longitivity. I have tried having a full face of this a couple times and it doesn't look too bad, as long as I blend down to my neck. Really wished they made a lighter shade because then I'd definitely go buy this!

I wish they made a lighter shade! I use this when I have fake tan on and it's my absolute fave foundation, but the lightest shade is still too dark for my natural skin tone. :(

Yes! The lights around the station were so yellow! It wasnt a very 'clear' light at all. But that might just be their ploy to make it look better

I agree, my first test pot was much darker once I saw myself in regular light. I went back and brought along my regular foundation and was told it was too light for me (it's not), so I blame the yellow lighting in store! I blend two shades.

Love it. Hate it

Love it - really great staying power, stays put until I wash it off at night. Nice finish on the skin compared to other brands I've tried. Hate it - no pump, I never get the same amount and waste product dripping down the bottle. It is hard to apply, currently I use a stippling brush, then pat over with a damp beauty blender, which is really to much work in the morning. It also sinks into my pores. But for the saying power and ability to keep the shine (mostly) under control would repurchase.

Tips: It took four "consultations" at different counters to find a match. Don't settle on the colour if you are not happy with it.

Best coverage

I love this foundation, it's become my every day go to liquid foundation. I work 11 hour shifts and this is the only foundation I have tried that stays on throughout the day with the least issues. The colour matching is pretty easy, I find they have a good range of colours. The only issue I have with it is when I try to put a light under eye concealer on top of it (or any other liquid/cream product on top) it goes patchy and leaves me with foundation was spots.

Tips: Try to use any other liquid/cream products underneath the foundation. Head into farmers for a colour match but ask for a sample of maybe 2 colours so you can go away and see what they're like under natural lighting.
