Estee Lauder Double Wear!!!

CANDLEQUEEN — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 20:22:56 GMT

I had lunch last week with an old co worker, and also over the past weekend saw an old friend, and both looked flawless, and of course I asked what foundation they were weating and both of them were wearing Estee Lauder's Double Wear!

They both were very very different skintones and skin types, yet it looked flawless on both of them, not too dry either....One was wearing a primer underneath, which was Hourglass's Primer, and the other said no Primer ever! I found that interesting!

I am seriously thinking that the next time I need foundation, I will try this one. Anyone have opinions??? Thanks!!!!!

I have "normal" skin and I tried this foundation and it was very drying looking. I do use a moisturizer and that made no difference. I also found it to be very thick which makes sense because I think it is a full coverage foundation. Get a sample before you buy.

@Janey2 Thank you Janey, I will get a sample , plus I will apply mine with a dampened sponge, which is my go to for liquid foundations..

Nothing worse that a drying foundation-makes you look so much older!

I have been wearing this for over 20 years, I just love it! If I try something else I am always sorry, the lancome foundation is pretty close but not as good.

They do have a light version if you find it too heavy. Macys will give you a 10 day sample if you go in and ask, there are many colors, I am blond hair blue eyes not super fair but pretty fair and I wear Fresco, my daughter loves this foundation also and she is a makeup guru, she has olive skin from her father and in the summer she wears cashew, in the winter she wears a bit lighter color which I can't remember.

I use a sponge to apply but for years I used my fingers. I also use the estee lauder powder over it or I prefer the lancome powder over it.

This has been my favorite foundation for at least 20 years. I have combo skin with redness and texture/scars from old acne. I have tried other foundations, but haven't liked any of them by themselves (I always use a primer). However, I've found almost all of them mix well with the DW.

There are some that I actually think make the DW look better so I usually blend two foundations together every day.

@CANDLEQUEEN - please let us know how it works out for you. I also use a damp sponge and I bet you'll get a flawless look with Double Wear.

@CANDLEQUEEN I use this several times a week. It goes on beautifully and never accentuates a small dry patch I have on my chin. I always have a good "face " day when I wear it. I prefer a more matte look.

@CANDLEQUEEN That's the foundation I stock in almost all shades for clients. It seems to do well on most women.

I think if you need extra long wear, a primer is good, but the name of the foundation really does provide "double wear" and unless you need 18 hrs. in your makeup, primer is not needed.

Some women find it too drying, so I use a moisturizer mixed with it before application.

It's also adaptable to how much coverage you like.

Based on this thread, I went to Bloomingdales to see how it looked on my skin. I tried a few shades and ended up with 1C1, Cool Bone. I had given up foundations for the most part but am sold on this one. It is perfection and matches my cool, porcelain skin. Rarely does anything match my neck too but this does.🥰

Thanks for everyone's suggestions...💐

I know this is a great foundation. I used it for years and years and then switched over to Lancome Tient Idole. Still use the Lancome but have several others as well. The DW just got to be too thick or heavy for me as I got older and wanted to move away from heavier foundations. It's a classic for sure.

@monicakm , I had tried it ten years ago and it was like paint. Thick and heavy. It was reformulated the rep told me since then. The consistency has changed for the better. In fact it is actually less opaque than Lancôme's foundation that I tried recently.

After all the chat about this foundation that I have read on this Forum, when I'm done with some of my current foundations, I may go to Macy's and get color matched and try this. It sounds good!

@JudyL , they can give you a free ten day sample. I think you will love it. Hours after application it still looks the same as this morning. That's a first for me...

@CANDLEQUEEN Doublewear always gets rave reviews so you can't go wrong.

How exciting @Trinity11 ! Makes me want to find a matching shade. That's great you found a perfect match!

@Trinity11 - do you use a sponge, brush or fingers to apply?

@San Antonio Gal , I used my fingers in the store. Usually I use the Bobbi Brown foundation brush when I apply foundation but I doubt I will need it. I also checked when I got home with a ten power mirror. Usually, foundation tended to show my pores. This was even and flawless. I can see why it is the number 1 foundation in the world.

I just took it off and it looked identical to when I applied it this morning at Bloomingdales. Pretty amazing!

I have just informed my husband we are going to Macy's on Sunday! I want to get color matched.

Yay @SurferWife ! Please post a review when you've had a chance to wear it. Looking forward to your thoughts.

I'd love to order some, but I don't think I could get an accurate shade buying online. Going is person is a good idea.

@Trinity11 's post convinced me that I need to go buy this wonderful product!

@JeanLouiseFinch - have you considered using DW for your daughter's wedding since you were having second thoughts about RLM?

@San Antonio Gal

I agree about color matching on line. It really is hit or miss. It was a MISS with the new IT foundation (most recent TSV). It matches okay & I wear it, but it's not a perfect match. I must say I think I am done with IT.

EL's Double Wear gets SO MANY 5 star reviews that I have to try it, but do want a perfect match. I most definitely will let you know how I like it.
