Product Information

Full details

The Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is designed for individuals seeking a long-lasting, full-coverage matte finish that adapts to their skin's needs. Its key benefit is 36-hour wear that remains color-true, transfer-proof, and resistant to sweat and humidity. A potential caveat is the need for re-shade matching when trying the new formula, even if you are a long-time user. This foundation offers buildable coverage, a breathable texture, and includes skincare benefits to balance oil and provide hydration.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears cakey or heavy

Ensure skin is well-moisturized before application. Use less product and blend thoroughly. Try applying with a damp sponge for a lighter finish. Ensure you are not over-applying or layering too many times without allowing it to set.

Product is not blending smoothly

Make sure your skin is properly prepped and hydrated. Allow any primer to set fully. Warm the product on the back of your hand before applying. Use a clean, damp makeup sponge or a dense brush for better blending.

Shade does not match perfectly

Consider getting re-shade matched at a retailer, as the formula has been updated. You can also try mixing shades or using a color-correcting primer or bronzer/highlighter to adjust the tone.

Skin feels tight or dry after application

While the foundation balances oil and hydration, ensure you are using a hydrating moisturizer and primer suitable for your skin type before application. If dryness persists, consider applying a very thin layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Prep Your Skin: Ensure your skin is clean, moisturized, and primed for optimal application and longevity.
  2. Dispense: Shake the bottle well before use. Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand or a palette. A reusable pump (sold separately) can provide more controlled application.
  3. Apply: Use your preferred tool – a foundation brush, sponge, or your fingertips – to apply the foundation starting from the center of your face and blending outwards.
  4. Build Coverage: Layer the product as needed to achieve medium or full coverage. Allow a minute for the formula to set between layers if building significant coverage.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for all skintypes, including sensitive skin and blemish-prone skin.
  • Non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores.
  • Works well with most makeup primers and setting sprays.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean your application tools (brushes, sponges) regularly with a gentle cleanser to maintain hygiene and ensure smooth application.
  • Storage: Store the foundation bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its formula.
