Estee Lauder Double Wear Review

I am proud to present my very first review. This was an easy choice for me...it has to be Estee Lauder's Double Wear Foundation! For those of you who have used it, you will most likely share my passion.


It provides an excellent, flawless coverage with a semi-matte finish and an SPF 10. It comes in a vast array of colours suitable for all ethnicities and skin types. Estee Lauder have recently added even more colours so you are sure to find a match.

I first discovered Double Wear when I was sixteen and I sooo wish I had found it before as this would perhaps have stopped me being called 'cheese grater' and 'Clearasil' ! If you suffer with acne, I cannot recommend this enough. I never need to use concealer - the coverage is ample. There is absolutely no need for a powder because the best part of Double Wear is its stay-in-place formula. Although it is more expensive than high street brands with an RRP of £26.50, long term it is the cheaper alternative as you don't have to reapply it during the day. It will even stay on through perspiration, so now we all have no excuse for skipping those Zumba classes!

If you suffer from a dryer a skin I do stress the importance of moisturising beforehand. If you are concerned about emphasising lines and wrinkles - simply mix it with an illuminating primer on your hand before applying the product to your face.

So - if you like a good coverage yet natural looking foundation Double Wear is for you. Estee Lauder offer a colour matching service and even offer a free ten day supply.

Let me know what you think and ask away if you have any questions!
