Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

estee lauder double wear foundation

I have recently been reaching for the more higher-end products instead of using the same ol' drugstore makeup. One foundation I've been meaning to try for ages is the Estee Lauder Double Wear which I got colour matched to as 2C2/pale almond. Firstly, this is the first ever foundation I've used without a pump - it's just so much easier with one isn't it! You probably could buy pumps separately but I'm not 100% sure on that. The frosted glass bottle is a very simple, yet luxurious design and it's definitely not lightweight. 

The product itself is very runny so you have to give it a good shake before pouring it onto your brush/beauty blender. Considering that it's such a runny consistency, it really does give that full coverage. It's so easy to blend and a little really does go a long way! I find that you have to be fairly quick to apply it as it dries quite quick, however I use my beauty blender instead of a brush for better application. 

As I have combination skin, my oily forehead and nose still tends to shine through the foundation half way throughout the day and because of that, it transfers a little but it's nothing horrendous. Nearer to the end of my day, I find that it fades a lot from the blemishes and dark under eye circles which I find a little annoying.  
So, I would only wear this foundation on a day to day basis. If I was going to an event or on a night out, I would stick with the Nars' weightless & luminous foundation. 

Have you tried double wear? What's it like with your skin type?

  1. This foundation is goals. I have only ever tried it once or twice but every time it has really impressed me. It is timeless, classic and a little goes a long way. However some people that I know really can't get on with it! Lovely review, can't beat high end beauty!

  2. I do like this foundation. The coverage is great but like you said it is so much better with a pump. It should be included really! I waste so much product pouring it out of the bottle x

    1. Yes 100% and I'm sure many other people have said it too! I'm surprised the brand hasn't actually listened x

  5. Double wear used to be my holy grail foundation, especially for a night out! I have super oily skin and it kept it intact all night long! x

    1. I have heard a few people say that they haven't got on with this foundation. I guess it's just a love hate product x

  9. I have only heard amazing things about this foundation, but I do prefer a lighter coverage. I love the Nude fresh wear though.

  10. So many people love this don't they. In truth, I have only ever had a sample and I am dubious on the colour match I had so I could do with going back. I would like a fuller coverage foundation as an alternative for days when I feel that I need it, most of my bases are medium to sheer. That being said, I have my eye on the new Charlotte Tilbury foundation coming at the end of the month.
