After a lot of talk about Estee Lauder Doublewear on Social Media sites, I decided to stop hearing about everyone talk about how amazing it is and actually go try it! Before purchasing the product I got a sample, which I recommend with any foundation as your colour in store won't always be the same in natural lighting.
Day 1: I feel in love, it applied perfectly. I always always like a foundation I can apply a small amount and build up, and I found Estee Lauder Doublewear allowed this.
Now, my biggest want out of a foundation is how long it can last. With Combination Oily/Normal skin I get a lot of problems with foundation lasting longer than till my first morning break! I checked on my foundation part way through the day to be shocked it was still sitting on my nose, let alone the rest of my face. By 5pm, it was not far off still being as perfect as I had applied that morning.
So this is a 10/10, it's a bit pricy but to me it's perfect. I don't have to worry all day about foundation missing off my nose and looking like a clown, I don't have to worry about touching up throughout the day.
After hearing heaps of rave reviews about Estee Lauder's famous Double Wear Foundation, I finally found the opportunity (and budget) to buy it for myself. This foundation is very full coverage and matte in finish, something that took a while for me to get used to, after using mostly medium coverage, dewy foundations in the past. In order to prevent it from feeling too thick on my skin, I'll often mix it with a little moisturiser before applying. This helps with the consistency for me without compromising its staying power. Overall, it's an extremely good foundation, long-wearing, easily blendable and looks great on the skin!
Tips: I would definitely recommend getting colour-matched instore if you can. I've always found Estee Lauder staff really friendly and well-informed, and they're often happy to offer you a small sample to take away with you.
