Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation
By SugarPlumPosts - 13:41
I desperately want to
invest in a high end foundation. I don't own many high end products
and the couple that I do are extremely old. If I'm going to splash
out on something it will be foundation as high street make-up is
generally very good but you can't get colour matched. This means to
find a high street foundation you really like requires constant trial
and error. Being extremely fair I find it difficult to find a
foundation that doesn't make me look slightly orange. It's the same
with concealers. So, I've decided to go on a hunt for a high end
foundation match that I'm really pleased with and will be worth the
extra money.
The amount of reviews I
have read absolutely raving about the Estée
Lauder Double Wear Foundation is unbelievable. People have said it is
their Holy Grail foundation! Some reviews however say the foundation
makes them break out but the sample I got isn't enough to tell
whether it will do that for me. Another criticism of the full product
is that the bottle doesn't have a pump which is rather annoying.
When I first went to
get coloured matched a lady from the Clinique counter came and did it
for me as the Estée
Lauder one was busy. I was matched me to the shade Cool Bone. Having
tried it when I got home I found it was far too dark for my face and
didn't match my neck at all. So, I went back and got rematched the
next week by an Estée
Lauder lady and this time was matched as the shade Ecru. Cool Bone
was far too pink for my complexion and I found that this new shade
did match me a lot better. I still find it is a little too dark if I
build the coverage to high.

I like the formula, a little goes a long
way. It sits nicely on my skin and it definitely does last very long.
The formula is thicker than I thought it would be but easily blended.
The only problem I found was that it went a little patchy on top of
dry skin so it is essential you moisturise your face before applying.
But on a whole its rather good. Is it worth the money? I'm not
sure... I want to try out other samples before deciding. It's obvious
the full product will last for ages and so that is a benefit. Let me
know what you guys think of the double wear foundation and whether
it's worth the extra cash :)
What high end foundation sample shall I try next? Any recommendations?

Hey! I went into my local Debenhams, to the Estee Lauder counter and asked for a colour match and they gave me a 10 day sample. I'm sure your local Estee Lauder counter will do the same for you. Perhaps try your local department store like a Debenhams or House of Fraser to see if they have an Estee Lauder counter. :) x
DeleteI have seen this foundation first last year, when I did my makeover from Lina, she used only few drops and this was so awesome. I loved my outlook. The way my makeup came out and last for long time. She is very good , I so love her. She also trains best makeup lesson by Lina Cameron in my town!
