After everyone raving about this, reading up the pros and cons for over 10 years I’ve been a product junkie – I have finally gave in and purchased my first bottle of Estee Lauder Double-Wear Foundation.
AND I LOVE IT.

#1 Foundation in Stores
This has to mean a lot, with reviews and purchases, it speaks for itself.
The last thing we want is a foundation sliding off, leaving marks, nor blending correctly, oxidising and the list goes on for how a foundation can go wrong. But with the Estee Launder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Foundation, it does not.
The Best Way To Apply This Foundation
There isn’t “one-way” to apply this foundation for “one-type” of skin, it’s up to you to understand what skin type you have and what finish you are after.
- Spray/Mist a facial spray before you apply the foundation and would recommend a wet sponge. Do not apply the foundation directly on the face/sponge. Instead, pump the foundation at the back of your hand, and slowly build it up. This will allow you to have more control.
- Sensitive Skin: Becareful with what primer you are using here, some primer combined with a gel-based moisturiser will result in flaking primer/foundation.
- The foundation dries pretty quickly, so do not leave it for too long before you blend. For example, wash your sponge/beauty blender before you pump out the foundation.
One of the biggest issue while using this foundation is cakiness and the tip is the moisturise and use a primer before applying the foundation. A water based primer is recommended instead of a gel or oil base as it can oxidise and turns patchy under the foundation.
This foundation is so amazing that Estee Lauder have even created a whole range from the Double-Wear formula.
