Estée Lauder's Double Wear Foundation is my absolute favourite foundation. I love the matte finish, and that it is super long wearing. However, I have a fairly clear complexion, and don't need the full coverage that it offers on a daily basis. When I was searching Sephora for a lighter foundation to pick up during the Sephora VIB Sale I stumbled upon Estée Lauder Double Wear Light Stay-In-Place Makeup. Before purchasing it, I went to my local Estée Lauder counter to get colour matched, and picked up a sample of it - I wear the shade Intensity 1.0 - light creamy beige, and have loved it since the day I tried it.

I have been wearing this foundation everyday for the past three weeks, and I am borderline obsessed with it. It is described as a 15-hour wear, lightweight foundation that leaves skin looking naturally vibrant, and I have to agree. The consistency is quite similar to the regular Double Wear formula and the coverage is medium to full, but it is definitely lightweight! It is by no means like a BB Cream - people can definitely tell that I have make-up on, but it delivers a flawless semi-matte (natural) finish that stays all day. As you can see in the photos below (I only have foundation on - no concealer) it provides great coverage, but leaves me with a lighter feeling on the skin. It is photo-friendly, dermatologist-tested, non-acnegenic, and won't clog pores. It is supposedly fragrance-free but I feel like it smells grandmother-ish during application, but the scent quickly disappears and doesn't bother me.

This foundation feels super comfortable to wear, and sits great, even with my oily skin - I think it works better with super moisturised or even oily skin as I noticed that it clings to dry patches if you have any. I do have to say that I much prefer this packaging to the original formulas as the squeeze tube makes it super easy to control how much product you want. As per usual, Estée Lauder did not fail to impress me, and I highly recommend the Double Wear Light formula if you want the same look as the Original formula, but don't want to feel like you have a tonne of foundation on your skin.

I was pleasently suprised by the amount of coverage that this product provides! Even though it is a lighter formula than its predecessor "double wear" it effectively covered and concealed my imperfections. The product is easy to apply and the colour match was phenomenal. The product really does stay on and there was no need for touch ups throughout the day! Loved it and will buy again!

I love this foundation. Long wearing but not too heavy.

I am a Clinque girl through and through but one day when my lady was to busy to help me so I went over to Estee Lauder (because they are sisters i felt less like a traitor) and the women suggested this foundation to me honestly it has changed my life it lasts forever and covers everything ( i swear it could hide mountains) and i had awful acne when i first bought this product and the formula is so light it never feels cakey! Another wonderful thing is it is a very build-able foundation so on the days when your skin is looking great its not to heavy! This foundation also has a perfect amount of moisture since i have oily skin i didn't want to look like a grease monkey and i never do with this foundation it is a phenomenal product and i refuse to buy anything else!
