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!]
Well, what do you guys think??? Do you love Double Wear as much as I do???? Let me know in the comments below!!!
