The Estee Lauder Double Wear Sheer Long-Wear Foundation SPF20 is ideal for individuals seeking a natural, sheer matte complexion with long-lasting wear.

This foundation excels in delivering a 'second-skin' feel, perfect for daily wear where a natural yet perfected look is desired. Its sheer-to-light coverage helps even out skin tone without masking your natural complexion, making it suitable for those who prefer a less 'made-up' look. The Hyaluronic Acid ensures your skin remains comfortable throughout the day, avoiding the dry, tight feeling often associated with long-wear foundations. With SPF20, it offers daily environmental protection, an essential feature for urban living.
In real-world scenarios, the Double Wear Sheer holds up remarkably well against sweat and humidity, maintaining its matte finish without migrating. This makes it a reliable choice for active individuals or those in warmer climates. The buildable consistency means you can apply a single thin layer for a barely-there tint or layer it slightly in areas like the T-zone for a touch more refinement, always maintaining a breathable feel. It's designed to integrate seamlessly with your skin, moving naturally without emphasizing fine lines or texture.
Prep Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For best results, allow your moisturizer and any primer to fully absorb before applying foundation.
Dispense: Shake the bottle well. Dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand, a palette, or directly onto your applicator.
Apply: Using your fingers, a damp makeup sponge, or a foundation brush, begin applying the foundation from the center of your face and blend outwards.
Build Coverage: For a sheer finish, use a minimal amount and blend thoroughly. If you desire light coverage, apply a second thin layer to areas that need more evening out. Remember, a little goes a long way with this concentrated formula.
Finish: For extended wear or oil control, you may set with a light dusting of powder.
This oil-free and non-comedogenic formula is suitable for all skin types, including normal, oily, combination, dry, and sensitive skin. It has been dermatologist and ophthalmologist-tested to ensure broad compatibility and reduce the risk of irritation.
To maintain the quality and efficacy of your foundation:
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent drying out and contamination.
Avoid prolonged exposure to air. Keep the nozzle clean to prevent product buildup.
