An HG Foundation: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup

Okay, so I believe that everyone has that one foundation- that one foundation that life just would not be the same without! For me, that’d be Estee Lauder’s Double Wear foundation. I’ve been using it for four years, and time and time again, I just keep coming back to it!

Review

So this is why Estee Lauder’s Double Wear is my HG: it holds up to all of it’s seemingly impossible claims! There’s definitely a ton of shades to choose from, it’s definitely oil-controlling, it’s definitely medium-to-full, buildable coverage, it’s definitely 24-hour wear, it’s definitely a flawless, natural finish, it’s definitely transfer resistant, and it definitely plays nice with everyones skin: it’s just literally perfect. I mean, when I wanna get crazy and experiment with other foundations, 1. I don’t love it as much as when I wear Double Wear and 2. I always end up mixing Double Wear into it to get that coverage and staying power. [As of right now, my favorite combination is La Mer Soft Fluid + Double Wear. Talk about the most photogenic, flawless finish ever that lasts!] Now, the only word of advice I have for this foundation is this: make sure you’re moisturized. It’s not nearly as drying as other matte foundations I’ve tried; however, this stuff looks best with over hydrated skin, so definitely make sure you use your favorite moisturizer underneath it! [Also, as shown below, I purchased the foundation pump that comes separately from Estee Lauder/MAC!]
