Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

This foundation is amazing! Recently discovered that Estee lauder carried a shade light enough for me so I immediately wanted to try this foundation as everyone raves about it. For me, Double Wear really lives up to the hype. It's full coverage but not thick or sticky, the formula is light and easy to apply with both your hands or a brush. It sets matte and looks natural especially considering how high coverage it is. Double wear lasts me all day which is unheard of for me as I have oily skin and find most foundations separate on my t-bone. A major plus for me is that double wear works well with my favourite concealer Nars radiant creamy concealer. Beautiful foundation, absolutely love it.

I tried a 10 day trial of this from my local department store and was amazed. As soon as the trial ran out I ran back to the shop to buy a full sized one. It is a bit pricey unfortunately, but I think that it is worth the price. I only use this for special occasions, or when I need the extra long wear. I wore it to a wedding once which started at 10am, when I got home after 12 that night my make up was still flawless. It was amazing. I must stress the importance of getting properly colour matched.

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.

Back when the local chemist was doing their free trial, I thought 'what have I got to lose?' All my friends were raving about it and I was actually quite excited. Until I was wrongly colour matched... what a nightmare! But back to the chemist I went and got rightly colour matched! And WOW. Flawless skin is such a treat - except when you don't have a decent exfoliator to remove the product at the end of the day... nightmare #2, breakout! Once I had the cleansing routine sorted for the DW, I was on a roll! Until my 14 day tester ran out! I'm just not entirely sure I can justify spending that amount on a foundation...

This foundation is my holy grail. I have the oilest skin possible and work a hectic job so im consistantly perspiring and this foundation stays in place ALLLLL day with none of that slip and slide going on

I pondered over buying this product for a VERY long time, I borrowed some when a friend had it and instantly fell in love. I'm a matte girl so of course I'm extremely happy with how this foundation sets, It builds well for full coverage and doesn't look 'cakey.'

A little goes a LONG WAY!

This foundation was great for covering my face, theres one positive. Even the lightest layer of this foundation looked cakey on my face and even though it did what it said, I didn't like the caked, matte finish

This is one of the best foundations that I have used. Definately lasts all day, most other foundations are gone by lunch time.

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!

I personally do not like this product. It has great coverage but made me break out something hurendous!
