“Fantastic foundation ever”

★★★★★

written by narek90 on 02/03/2019

This is obviously one of my favorite foundations ever. I have been using this product since I first put make up. Great quality, smell, high covering, comfortable packaging.

“Love this foundation ”

★★★★★

written by RoseyJ34 on 26/02/2017

Originally purchased for my wedding last year after seeing other reviews and wow! Perfect coverage, mattifying, stays all day long and does not transfer. I used almost every day and it seems to last forever. I have applied with Beauty Blenders and brushes and get a great result with both. I must have tried 85% of the high Street and higher brand foundations and this makes top 2.

“Best cover ever”

★★★★★

written by irene75359 on 19/08/2013

I bought the Estee Lauder Double Wear Face and Leg makeup With two weddings this year I had reconciled myself to wearing really long skirts again to cover my legs. I have extensive broken veins and blue blotching and normally wear thick opaque tights. I searched online for the best cover and reviews recommended this. I bought it and my daughter applied it - we were both amazed at the cover given. I wouldn't have gone with totally bare legs as it is obvious makeup has been applied, but was comfortable in 7 denier tights wearing a knee length dress and no one could tell. And it doesn't wear off.

“I always go back”

★★★★★

written by on 09/08/2013

I love double wear. I have been using it for over 10 years. There are times when I think I should try something new on the market... but I always go back. The way it spreads really depends on the moisturizer you use beforehand. This stuff is the best and I will never switch again. I've learned my lesson and have wasted too much money thinking there is something better out there that is passing me by.

“Best Liquid I have Ever Tried (Cystic Acne Prone Skin)”

★★★★★

written by LaSF on 20/07/2012

So I have been using Mineral foundation for 8 years; I can't stand how liquid foundations feel and they usually cause breakouts even oil free ones. I researched the ingredients of other department store brands and drug store brands this foundation had the best ingridients. The representative matched my color perfectly. this is quite easy to apply using fingers, or a sponge for buildable coverage. For light coverage smooth onto face, for more coverage on certain areas tap on or use a concealer brush. I am currently using this foundation as a spot concealer (it's that awsome.. no need for another conceler) under my mineral foundation. I only have acne scars on jawline and I need heavier coverage there. I use my mineral on the rest of my face and this blends beautifly. I don't touch up at all this lasta all day, does not oxidize and turn orange. I have oily t-zone and dry skin on cheeks yet sometimes I just wear this althoug it dries Matte it doesn't dry me. I don't feel it on my skin it's the only liquid foundation I can stand on my face. I am planning on using it it winter when my skin is dryer instead of my mineral because my skin is changing sometimes my powder foundation is too dry. I would like to leave a tip for acne prone gals.. just because a foundation is oil free doesn't mean it won't break you out, cliniques oil free has bismuth oxychloride as do some mineral foundations this may lead to cystic acne. So far not one breakout using this. The only thing this is quite hard to take off, but that can also be a good thing durring the day.

“Stay in place spf10”

★★★★★

written by on 13/06/2012

I've tried many foundations, but this one beats them all!!! Although quite pricey it stays on all day and doesn't leave an oily residue. I have normal to combination skin and it feels great and looks great. If you want good coverage then this is the one to go for as its better than Clinique, Lancôme, Mac, Chanel and Elizabeth Arden but you must try it for yourself go and get a sample just to see the difference, it's free and you've got nothing to lose, I know I wouldn't use anything else x

“Bad Reviews”

★★★★★

written by on 10/04/2012

I'm sorry but if you review this product and claim that it gave you 'crusty skin' or whatever then unless you have a serious skin problem - you obviously aren't looking after your skin properly. You should not put any foundation onto a face unless it has been cleaned, cleansed and moisturised. I'm not being snotty, a decent cleansing wipe and a good face cream always make up for it. Fact of the matter is, don't put foundation onto a dirty, crummy face. Whatever is stuck to your face any foundation is going to stick to that. So that is why I think most of these negative reviews are stupid. This foundation does not do that. I'm 26 and last year I was an unlucky person and my skin decided to give me Acne rosacea on my chin.. and basically my whole face. This foundation will not cover the whole thing.. But it does the right thing.. If that makes sense? It covers it up so lightly that no one would even notice. It's amazing, it stays on all day and I get constant compliments over my skin... No one apart from my family and close friends know that I have acne rosacea thanks to this. I love this product, I randomly bought it at the airport because my best friend told me about it. Only word of advice is to go a shade lighter than you natural tone, then use bronzers on your cheeks. Also this product isn't amazing in photographs lol so if you go on holiday like I did... And get a deep tan, don't use it or you will look like a moomin on a brown lolly pop stick.

Any makeup my daughter has tried has made her face crusty looking and just melts off her face. She is very true to cleansing, moisturizing and has a very good routine. I am still looking for a "good makeup for her.

I have serious skin problems acne and dehydrated skin on my face. I tried this make up and thought it was amazing! Covered up everything but I am now left with a crusty/ flakey face and red puffy face. I use the right creams on my face and wash my face before putting make up on. I think it's quiet insesentive of you to say that people aren't looking after their skin properly. I look after my skin properly and I still had problems. I have been to the doctors and the skin specialist and I'm still working on getting my face back to how it was before. Everyone is different so you can't go and say people don't look after their skin. Not everyone can help it like me..

“I am twenty-one years old and have been using this...”

★★★★★

written by on 21/12/2011

I am twenty-one years old and have been using this foundation for three months. I found it helped keep my acne under control and once I was almost cured of acne, thanks to meds and this water-based foundation, I was happy with my face w/ and without make-up. I have dry skin due to the meds, but after applying a light face cream and este lauder I found it covered my redness and dry skin. It really doesn't seem to clog my large pores, which are susceptible to bacteria.

“Best foundation in the world”

★★★★★

written by ldingsdale92 on 13/08/2011

Being a lover of makeup I have used so many foundations on the market, including MAC, Clinique, Chanel and Benefit. None of these even come close to Estee Lauder double wear. Being very pale I choose the shade Shell (1C1) which is a great match for my skin tone. Sometimes it's hard to find a suitable shade it youre pale like me, as some products are too orange and you can see the foundation lines. However, no matter what, this foundation makes me feel so sophisticated. It makes my complexion appear radiant and flawless and I am the sort of person who hasn't got great skin, i've had problems with spots for years. You can always rely on this foundation to deliver. It stays on all day and is durable in all weather conditions. Ok, the product may be 26 pound a bottle but i feel that this is worth every penny. i'd rather pay more money for something that i feel confident with and last me six months rather than pay 5 pound for cheap foundation that hasn't got the best coverage and go through a bottle a month. Great foundation, would defitely recommend!!!

“A consultant at Boots recommended Estee Lauder Double...”

★★★★★

written by on 17/02/2011

A consultant at Boots recommended Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Light. I've used loads of different brands and never been 100% happy so I came away from the counter thinking this will be just another one to try along with all the others. I put it on one morning before meeting my daughter for a day out shopping, it was a long day and the shops were hot. I powdered my t-zone only once during the day and when I got home my make-up was still in place, it hadn't worn off at all.

I cannot recommend this brand highly enough, it doesn't look as if I have a mask on my skin and it feels really natural. It is so nice knowing where to get a good foundation that actually works.

“My older friend uses this and swears by it, but...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 28/12/2010

My older friend uses this and swears by it, but personally it completly disagreed with my skin! As it has a matt finish it wasn't suitable for my combination skin, it brought my skin out into dry patches in between my eyebrows, on my nose and on my cheeks, it covers blemishes very well but this is not for teenage skin! It is very very heavy and most people I know that use it only use it for nights out as it does not budge! I have to wash my face twice to fully remove it as make-up wipes don't work. As dry patches started apearing when I used it I decided to put loads of moisturiser underneath as the amount I was using wasn't enough, unless you have a very rich creamy moisturiser such as nivea it will not blend at all, it is very very hard to apply, I have now decided to not bother with it as I when it came to winter I could not use it at all because my skin was so dry it looked horrible and flakey. It might be okay for people with oily skin but its way too heavy for young skin. Would definatly not reccomend for combination or dry skin as my skin wasn't even dry the matte-ness made it very dry! hope I helped xxx

“my review of the Estee Lauder Double wear foundation....”

★★★★★

written by on 31/07/2010

my review of the Estee Lauder Double wear foundation. First of all i want to say how much i LOVE this foundation, after trying loads of different ones my friend told me to try this one. I looked up all the reviews to see what comments it got. I have to say its amazing. A little pricey. But a little bit goes a long way!! I always used revlon colour stay as i have quiet oily skin and this was the only one that seemed to last all day,but i found it went a little dry and patchy after a few hours. So i went to my local boots to the Estee Lauder counter. The staff were really helpful and tried lots of different shades on me and made sure i was happy with the shade i chose. Im medium olive skintone i was given the ivory beige shade. I would say the consistency is pretty much similar to the revlon colour stay, but is much smoother when you apply it. It goes on beautiful and dries very quickly. you have to make sure you blend it in properly but once you get used to doing this its like second nature. And use a foundation brush as this give a much smoother finish flawless infact. I use a mac 190 foundation brush and it works a treat. i give this foundation 10 out of 10 and dont think i will ever use anything else. One little tip i have for you as the foundation is a very matt finish. For those of you who want the more glowing dewy look (great for a night out) i first use garnier ultra lift firming moisturiser. Let it sink in for a good five minutes. Then i apply no7 skin illuminating liquid in (peach)for paler skins you can get it in a pink shimmer shade all over my face and blend in. Then apply your foundation with foundation brush. It gives a flawless coverage but with a gorgeous dewy finish. and for extra glow if im going out i would also apply BENEFIT moon beam aswell as this is a gorgeous highlighter then abit of rimmell bronzer. Then im good to go. Iv had some great compliments since doing it this way :) xxx

“I have super super oily skin and struggled for years...”

★★★★★

written by on 31/07/2010

I have super super oily skin and struggled for years to find a foundation that didnt come off around my sweat patches, that was until a friend recommended double wear to me. I have been using it for over 6 years now and wouldnt change for the world. It lasts through the hottest summer sweat to a dip in the pool. Application at first was difficult to get smooth as it dries super fast so you need to apply a very thick moisturiser or primer first for a smooth application and you also need to get a really good make up remover as its like a paint to remove.

“i have used estee lauder double wear for over a year...”

★★★★☆

written by on 12/07/2010

i have used estee lauder double wear for over a year now and absolutly love it!! it is quite a thick and heavy foundation so you need to get your skin ready before you apply it such as tone, cleans and moisterize...also i found when i first got this that it is best used with a foundation brush doesnt go on well without. it is a very good foundation and i have tried many...just make sure you get the colour matched to your skin.
bottom line: it is a great foundation and lasts hours i have many of times finished work and had to rush to the gym and had the foundation still perfectly on!!!!

“I have tried almost every single foundation that...”

★★★★★

written by JLK1972 on 30/04/2010

I have tried almost every single foundation that exists but never found'the one''. A friend recommended Double Wear and so I gave it a go and I am sooooo please I did!!

It goes on beautifully and you only need a tiny little bit...so a 30ml bottle lasts a long time. It took me a while to get the right colour as the girl at the counter gave me one that was far too pale foor me, but I took a few samples and found the right one. It looks as good at night when you go to take it off as it did when you first applied it. I am getting married this year and am so pleased I have found a foundation that will last the whole day!

The price for me is great at £24.50 but I know that may put some people off, but like I said, it lasts so long and with make up, in my opinion you get what you pay for! I love the Estee Lauder range and DW is a true gem!

Try it and you will love it!!!!!!
