As stated in my headline, the product can really boost your confidence...it did for me! The first time i purchased double wear was when I was 17. I had major cystic acne and was looking for a foundation to cover my overly sensitive acne-prone skin but that would still look natural. I came across double wear and it is the perfect foundation for those bad skin days.The coverage provided by this foundation is flawless and it is full coverage. It is a staple product on my kit and ideal for any acne, scars, redness or any other skin 'problems'. The formula and consistency is the right amount of thick and liquid meaning it won't slide off the back of your hand but is also liquidy enough to be easily spread and distributed on your skin.

This make up is genuinely excellent. I have used many make up brands in the past (Body Shop - which was a good coverage but left my skin oily; Garnier - which didn't have a light enough shade for my skin colouring; No 7 - which was a wonderfully light foundation with a fabulous colour match, but it didn't provide enough coverage and my red patches showed through).This one is by far the best. It was recommended to me via a friend whose skin is always glowing with or without her makeup, and she attributes that to her diet and to her makeup - as the makeup is not heavy or oily, it prevents breakouts so she can go without foundation and still look wonderful!So I decided to buy some in a shade that matched (much lighter than her shade)

This Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup with SPF 10 from Estee Lauder is definitely one for those who like a totally true matte finish, it offers full coverage with real staying power, making it more suited to normal, combination and oily blemish prone skins. It comes in around 44 different shades from very fair to very dark, so there really is something for every skin tone here. It also has a pleasing texture, but don't rely on this for total anti-ageing sun protection, it can't replace a good high broad spectrum SPF day cream. Application requires a bit of practice as this dries quickly on the skin and because it offers full coverage it can look unnatural,

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation has been a personal favorite of mine since day one. If you like a full coverage and a soft dewy look this is the foundation for you. There are pros to using it and cons, like there is with everything but the pros totally outweigh the cons.First of all the overall coverage of the foundation is outstanding, the finished look it outstanding, it lasts all day on my face.. WITHOUT having to touch up. Also it does what it says.. it stays in place. My skin always get complimented whenever I have this foundation on and in pictures.. omg! It's lovely.However, the cons. First of all, the bottle.. I love it but I hate it. I just so wish this was a pump not just a bottle that you tip the product out of.

I have now been using this foundation for a decade. Decent coverage, doesnt cover spots or dark circles, but that is fine as there are products available for that (you can layer it on thick for better coverage if you wish but it does gather in fine lines, including non permanent lines such as when squinting in the sun). Used to last all day and was effectively waterproof.That is until I developed oily skin. Now it starts getting patchy when my skin goes oily, which is in a matter of hours now thanks to benzoyl peroxide opening my pores up. I still think if you have normal to very slightly oily skin this is good, but I wouldn't bother if you have really oily skin as it just looks awful after about 4 hours.

After purchasing this product I read some bad reviews accusing it of being watered down or a fake product so I was pretty confident that if it was a fake I would spot it, and then raise hell. I have thoroughly compared the box to my latest purchase from Debenhams and there are no differences what so ever, from colour to barcode placement and I've the folds on the inside, all exactly the same. I have compared the bottles and lids from both products and their are no discrepancies at all. I have tested both foundations on my skin and on cotton buds and they are exactly the same. I have also tested the smell of both bottles.

If you get the skin tone right- (best to go into a store and have it done at the makeup counter the first time) then this is the best foundation EVER. I know my shade so ordering online is easy and it’s coverage is buildsble so whenever I need more or less coverage I simply add on. Personally I like mixing it with a cheap moisturiser in my palm before rubbing it in. Then if I need a bit of extra coverage I’ll add it later but I’m unlikely to change brands since this one has staying power and can be toned down to a BB like consistency or slapped on like spot concealer without going cakey or looking like a clown mask. It’s so versatile and reliable.

Before I brought Estee Lauder double wear foundation my make up bag was full with various different brands of foundations none of which I would recommend to anyone. Estee Lauder double wear foundation is definitely on the expensive side for the size of the bottle which is only 30ml but I think it is a case of to get the good quality then you get what you pay for. Luckily you only need a small amount to cover the face, I apply my foundation 5 days a week and a 30ml bottle will last me 2-3 months. It gives a perfect coverage hiding any imperfections. The two extra bonuses for me with this product is firstly it has an spf and secondly I work 12 hour days and by the end of the day the foundation is still in place.

If you buy direct from Amazon and not via a third party supplier or fulfilled by Amazon you should get the genuine product.My closest colour match was apparently Ivory Beige although I have quite a strong yellow/peach undertone, but this is in Covid times when the sales consultant in-store couldn't give me a 'hands-on' consultation.I find this foundation slightly too thick for everyday use and only for special occasions or days when my skin needs extra help but it blurs imperfections really well and the colour matches quite well after about ten minutes. It's still more peach than I'd normally like but it's obviously a great foundation.

There appears to be a range of colours to choose from to match as close as possible to your own natural skin colour. Its light in texture & also light on you skin. It doesn't give that heavy feeling on your skin. Thankfully it doesn't smudge on your clothing, unlike some foundations. I find after applying foundation to my face, I just very lightly dust a powdered light bronzer over with a good brush.I was pleasantly surprised to find after going swimming, the make up didn't smudge.The only downside is the cost for a 30ml bottle is very expensive if your on a tight budget.But nothing in the Estee Lauder range comes cheap.Read full review...

I used Estee Lauder Double wear make-up for a couple of years... then wondered it may be a bit heavy because now I am in mid 40's. So this winter, I switched to Christian Dior Diorsculpt, thinking it's a bit more moisturising and lighter and is telling me it is uplifting. Well girls and boys - it might just be me, but it sits in your wrinkles ! I couldn't have been more upset! I love CD makeup, the eyeshadows are beautiful, but that base was not for me. Reverted back to my Estee Lauder Double Wear and this week all my mateys and my partner have commented on how well I'm looking. Enough said !

I have been using this for a few years now. I've tried most of the other makes of foundation on the market and this is definitely the best in my view. It gives really flawless coverage and really does last all day, even when it's humid and hot. My skin is quite oily, too, so it is rare to find something which will stay on and last all day and evening. You don't need to use much - less is more, and a bottle will last for absolutely ages. I had been buying this from high street shops prior to this, but found it cheaper on Amazon so will definitely be reordering from them in the future.

This is certainly the best foundation I have ever used - a lovely consistency and so many shades. Being able to try a sample from a Lauder counter before purchasing a bottle is a great help to be sure of the perfect match. Easy to apply, even with fingers - I just use a few tiny dots. It blends beautifully without sitting in pores, and looks totally natural. If you want to apply a touch of powder after eg on nose, just a very little powder applied on a flat ended brush is perfect . Double Wear really does last all day. I use Pale Almond or Pebble. The bottle lasts for ages too.

I work in a very busy Hospital and wondered how some nurses makeup stayed in place on a 13 hour shift. Now i know! Estee Lauder is amazing. I went to the counter and got my skin matched and got a 10 day free trial then I bought the 30ml bottle as its perfect for me. Im goin through peri-menopause, oily skin and work in a hospital so this was quite a lot to expect from a foundation and it delivered! I will never purchase another apart from double wear. I applied with a sponge in a patting motion and it didnt budge from early morning until i took it off at bedtime. A great buy.
