Best foundation ever!

I have been using this for about 7 years I think and it is my favourite, favourite , favourite foundation ever. It is the only foundation I have found that doesn't melt off or move during the day. It is perfect for my oily skin. I always get asked what foundation I use. It is a good coverage foundation and you need to work quickly to blend it in. I find it best to use your fingertips to apply rather than a brush , as your fingers warm it up making it easier to blend. Nothing compares to this foundation!

holy grail <3

my favourite foundation! i love the finish, even though it is full coverage it feels quite lightweight, i didnt break out or i dont think from it (have a few pimples/acne here and there so i dont know if thats just because or because of this) this shade matches my skin perfectly and i just dont see any flaws in it!

Great Coverage and Colour

I first tried this from the Farmer's Estee Lauder counter where the counter staff gave me a mini make-over. I was not impressed with how much of this product was applied and it put me off trying the sample I'd been given. I have a facial and sweating problem and very few foundations can cope with the profuse wetness on my facial skin. So on a night out I tried and faced with the same problem as always, I used this product, applying it with my fingers rather than a make-up brush (as the assistant had) and I was amazed at the wearability throuhgout the night. It didn't rub off, it didn't slide down or become dull and lifeless, even in a very hot environment. My facial sweating was not a problem to this wonderful foundation. The colour match for my highly pigmented skin was perfect (Pebble) and really minimised the dark patches under my jaw. This is now my go-to foundation but you do need a very good skin cleanser to get it off and a good moisturiser to ensure it doesn't get the cakey, over made-up look. (I have had huge success with Avon's Skin Invention Day Creme) and have received many compliments on how radiant and refreshed i am looking.

Tips: Apply using your fingertips (brushes tend to leave an almost mask like appearance with this foundation) and use a good primer and./or moisturiser. It's crucial you use a heavy duty facial cleanser if you want to fully remove this foundation.

Great review, I tend to sweat profusely on my face so most makeup slides odd but now I really want to try this!

Excellent coverage!

This is one of my favourite foundations. It really delivers on flawless coverage, going on smoothly and my personal shade matches my skin tone better than any other, making my skin look amazing! It also manages to stay looking fresh and flawless all day.

Tips: The cost may put some people off, but it's worth it as you don't need to apply as much product. Mine lasts approx 2 - 3 months.

Holy Grail Foundation!

Estee Lauder Double Wear exceeds ALL of my expectations. I first tried it around 6 months ago when a friend told me that they offer 10 day samples and free colour matching at the pharmacy. I had wanted to try it for a long time and that was the perfect incentive to finally give it a go!

I don't have oily skin but I find that most foundations start to slide off or move around halfway through the day. Even when using a powder over top I could never find anything that lasted ALL day. The closest I came was Revlon Colourstay but even still I was starting to look patchy by mid afternoon.

Double Wear puts all other foundations to shame. The consistency is light and very blend-able yet it covers EVERY imperfection. I no longer need a concealer even when I have breakouts or very dark circles. I apply my foundation with a Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush (the greatest brush EVER made).

Double wear lasts ALL day. Even in hot temperatures and even when my face gets wet & it doesn't transfer onto anything. It still looks the same at night before I wash my face than it does when I apply it first thing in the morning.

I will never use another foundation as long as this one is around. It is well worth the $80 that it costs & Farmers quite often have 10 - 20% off Estee Lauder so grab it then & save yourself some money.

Tips: Use a Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush to apply & set with Australis pressed powder for a super matte & flawless finish.

I won't use another foundation EVER!!!

This is hands down the BEST foundation I have ever used! I got a ten day supply a year or so ago and was so impressed with how long it lasted and how little I needed to apply! It blends so well into my skin, and I don't need to touch my makeup up at all! Is worth the $80 especially if you purchase it from Farmers and get Club card points. Mine lasts me about 4-5 months :)

Tips: Use a good makeup remover as it is a bit harder to remove. DO NOT leave it on overnight!

Estee Lauder Double Wear stays put

Estee Lauder Double Wear stays exactly where you put it without smudging, budging or sweating off from humidity.

This is my favorite go to foundation when i need to wear something thats going to last the entire day and night. It goes on smooth and lasts all day and night just like it promises. Being fair skinned it can be hard for me to find a foundation that works well with my skin tone and this one does.It is the only foundation I have found that give me a flawless finish. I have some pigmentation and it covers them very well without concealer. This doesn't make me breakout and looks and feels great.

A little bit really goes a long way and a whole bottle will last me months and months. I dont wear it on my entire face daily as i do find that my skin starts to dry out, so its more an "occasion" foundation, however i do use it daily on my nose as thats the area of my face that looses foundation the quickest. I set my foundation with my Dr Hauschka setting powder, which helps it to last even longer and gives a great finish.

The downside is: it's expensive at $80.00 NZ a bottle and it doesn't come with a pump which would be nice. But since I love it so much, I will continue to buy it when i run out.

My "Special Occasion" Foundation

This foundation has quickly become my go-to for nights out and special occasions. I have actually been complimented on my foundation quite a few times while wearing this out.

I really like it because it's full coverage but doesn't break me out, and doesn't look cakey or powdery or at all heavy, even in the harshest of light.

The colour I have matches me perfectly and I've only ever heard great things about it :)

Tips: Unfortunately, this is not a good choice for anyone who can't justify spending $80 on a foundation. So so worth it though.

Great coverage

At first I wasn't sure if I liked this foundation. I had a play around with it and fell in love with it. Its probably one of the best foundations (apart from one other) that actually does it what it says. Gives great coverage, doesn't feel cakey or heavy. Unfortunately I always seem to find the products I really like are really expensive.

Tips: I use a stippling brush instead of a beauty blender or sponge as I find it uses less product that way.

Great for a full coverage and a night out

I find this foundation amazing and I have been using it since I was 17 (6 years). I have well and truly tested this product and I find it stays on really well and gives you that flawless professional finish that you see in all of the magazine's. I love a full coverage and this foundation goes above and beyond. This is the only foundation that hasn't moved and creased a lot when I've been out at night. Highly recommend this for all of you people who love a flawless finish.

Tips: Not for people who don't like a full coverage. Always try before you buy!! Also make sure you blend it out well.
