Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - 8N1 Espresso

The new formula is designed to be more breathable, lightweight, and offers 72-hour hydration while maintaining its long-wear matte finish. It also incorporates enhanced skincare ingredients and pigment technology for improved wear.

Yes, it is formulated for all skin types. It controls oil for oily and combination skin while its hydrating properties make it suitable for normal skin. Those with very dry skin should ensure their skin is well-prepped and moisturized before application.

It offers buildable medium-to-full coverage. You can apply a light layer for moderate coverage or build it up for a more complete finish.

The foundation is weather and water-resistant, meaning it can withstand humidity and light moisture without significant transfer or breakdown.

The Double Wear Longwear Matte Foundation is available in 60 shades, designed to cater to a wide range of skin tones.

The formula is designed for long-wearing performance, with claims of up to 72 hours of hydration and sustained coverage without fading or creasing.

The foundation contains SPF 10, which offers minimal sun protection. For adequate protection against UV rays, it is recommended to use a separate sunscreen with a higher SPF value.

Ensure your skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Use a clean, damp makeup sponge or a dense brush for application and blend thoroughly. Try applying in thin layers, allowing each to set slightly.

As formulas are updated, a re-shade match is recommended. Consider using a shade enhancer or mixing with another foundation to achieve your perfect match. Consult with a beauty advisor for assistance.

You may be using too much product. Try applying a smaller amount and building coverage only where needed. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated. A lighter application method, like stippling with a sponge, can also help.

While designed to control oil, ensure you've used a mattifying primer if you have very oily skin. Set lightly with a translucent powder in your T-zone if needed. Ensure the skin is clean and free of excess natural oils before application.
