Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Makeup SPF10 is engineered for individuals who demand a high-performance, long-lasting foundation that withstands daily challenges. Its primary benefit is its exceptional 24-hour wear and life-proof formulation, ensuring your complexion remains flawless without the need for touch-ups. This lightweight, comfortable liquid foundation is also heat-resistant, waterproof, and controls oil, while maintaining color true to tone. A key consideration is that while it includes SPF10, supplemental sun protection is recommended for prolonged sun exposure.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Makeup SPF10 is renowned for its steadfast performance, living up to its promise of being “life-proof.” Users can confidently go about their day without worrying about their foundation fading, smudging, or creasing. Its 24-hour color-true formula means the shade you apply in the morning will be the same shade you see hours later, without the common issue of oxidation that can make foundations look orange or ashy.
In real-world scenarios, this foundation excels in challenging conditions. Its heat-resistant and waterproof qualities make it an ideal choice for humid climates, intense workouts, or even unexpected rain. The oil control feature is particularly beneficial for those with oily or combination skin, as it helps to minimize shine and maintain a matte finish throughout the day, preventing that midday greasy look.
Despite its robust wear, the formula is designed to be lightweight and comfortable, ensuring it doesn't feel heavy or mask-like on the skin. This allows for natural facial expressions without the makeup settling into fine lines. It’s the kind of foundation you can apply once and truly "not think twice" about, whether you're heading to a long workday, a special event, or simply want reliable coverage that lasts.
Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For best results, consider using a primer that suits your skin type to create a smooth canvas.
Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the bottle to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Dispense: Pour a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or directly onto your application tool.
Apply: Use a foundation brush, sponge, or your fingertips to apply the foundation. Start from the center of your face and blend outwards.
Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, apply a second thin layer and blend seamlessly. The formula allows for buildable coverage without looking heavy.
Skincare: Compatible with most skincare routines. Ensure your moisturizer or primer has fully absorbed before applying foundation to prevent pilling.
Other Makeup: Works well with powder, blush, bronzer, and setting sprays. Its long-wearing nature helps other makeup applied on top to last longer.
Skin Types: Suitable for various skin types, especially normal, combination, and oily skin due to its oil-controlling properties. Those with very dry skin may benefit from a hydrating primer or extra moisturizing beforehand.
Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain product integrity.
Shelf Life: Follow the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, usually indicated by an open jar icon with a number (e.g., 24M for 24 months), for guidance on how long to use the product after opening.
Cleaning Tools: Regularly clean your makeup brushes or sponges to prevent bacteria buildup and ensure smooth, even application.
Removal: Due to its long-wearing and waterproof formula, it is recommended to use an oil-based cleanser, balm, or a dedicated long-wear makeup remover for effective and gentle removal at the end of the day.
