Review: Estee Lauder Double Wear

Good afternoon,

Often, I find it hard to match my skin perfectly to a foundation or base product. Don't get me wrong, I love a good drug store foundation, but when I discovered the phenomenal variety of shades in the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, I was impressed!

When I went in looking at the foundation initially, it was so quick and easy to match my skin making the whole process stress free - what I like!

I have been using this base product daily for a few of months now and honestly, I am shocked. I have literally fallen in love with it and it is now my holy grail product. For someone who isn't confident wearing minimal amounts of make up, this has been completely confidence boosting.




What do I love most about Estee Lauder Double Wear...?

- The matte finish, I am normally a dewy and glowy kind of girl, but since I discovered the amazing matte finish of the Double Wear foundation, I am in love. Plus, you can add your own glow if needs be?

- The coverage, out of all the foundations I have ever tried/tested/used, this one definitely gives the fullest coverage and this is probably why I am sticking to it.

- How buildable it is, sometimes I don't always need/want  a full application of foundation, however, it is build-able, so you can either go for a really natural finish or a really glommed up full finish, or an inbetween'y look.

- Staying power, honestly, this stays on my face for hours. I get a really oily T Zone and used to prime my face everyday. Now I only prime my face when I really want my make up to last all day and all night, which leaves me with one less step in my day to day routine. This does mean removing my make up is a lot harder, but so worth it!


The only problems I have with this product are that 1) The bottle doesn't have a pump and that does drives me crazy! 2) It is hard to remove my make up at the end of the day, but I suppose you win some you lose some and if you want your foundation to last all day, then expect to have to use a few cotton pads to remove it!


All in all, I think that this is such a diverse product. I have been trying out a couple of new base products as well as going back to a few oldies and honestly, nothing is comparing the Double Wear foundation for me.

This may or may not be the kind of product that suits you, but for me it is a winner and I am love love loving it at the moment, definitely one to re-purchase!

Until next time,
