Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - Review

I mentioned on twitter recently that over the Christmas break I had become reacquainted with an old friend. As my husband reads my twitter he asked me who this old friend was - I had to confess to him that my old friend was Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10.

I am the kind of person who is pretty loyal - once I like a foundation I tend to stick to it. We all know that it is very hard to find that perfect foundation and this really was my perfect foundation. I discovered this a few years ago and would buy it along with my other favourite - Chanel Vitalumiere. Of course the temptation of all the new foundation launches meant that I strayed and forgot all about my beloved Double Wear.. until it was given to me as a gift this Christmas.

I have found myself falling in love all over again..

This liquid foundation is described as being suitable for all skin types.

The packaging states the following - This remarkable lasting, yet lightweight makeup wear comfortably up to 15 hours, even in high humidity. Won't smudge or come off on clothes.

Oil-free
Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist-tested
Non-acnegenic
Fragrance-free

I have normal/combination skin. I apply it with fingers or with my foundation brush.

I find that it feels heavier than Lancome's Teint Miracle, but the coverage is also heavier on this foundation. This gives excellent, buildable coverage which Estee Lauder says is medium, this means I don't need to use any concealer, even round my eyes. It hides pretty much everything, providing a beautiful flawless finish.

The foundation negates the need for a primer to be worn underneath and it is fabulously long lasting. I look made up all day with no need to reapply any of my makeup (except for lipstick/gloss).
It really does stay in place, so much so that at the end of the day the foundation makes a real mess of my muslin cloths as none has worn away.

I will definitely be purchasing this again once it has finished as I adore everything about this foundation.

I highly recommend popping down to your local Estee Lauder counter and trying it out :-)

Estee Lauder Double Wear costs £25.50 for 30ml and is available in 30 shades
