FAQs

What is the main difference between the new Double Wear and the original?

The new Double Wear features an even better makeup and skincare blend, offering a more buildable, breathable, and fluid texture while maintaining its iconic long-wear properties. It also includes enhanced oil control and hydration benefits.

How do I find my correct shade?

Estee Lauder offers 60 shades. It's best to get professionally shade-matched at a retailer or test shades on your jawline in natural light to find the one that truly matches your skin tone.

Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?

Yes, it is formulated with Double Balancing Complex, providing 36-hour oil control and reducing oil production with continued use, making it ideal for oily and combination skin types.

Can I use this foundation if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, it is safe for sensitive skin and is also non-comedogenic, meaning it's suitable for blemish-prone skin as it won't clog pores.

Does the foundation come with a pump?

No, the foundation is typically sold without a pump. A reusable pump can be purchased separately for easier application.

How long does the foundation typically last on the skin?

The foundation is designed for 36 hours of color-true wear. It is also resistant to sweat, heat, humidity, and transfer.

Can I layer this foundation for more coverage?

Yes, the formula is buildable from medium to full coverage. Apply thin layers and blend well to achieve the desired level of coverage without it looking heavy.

Troubleshooting

Foundation looks cakey or heavy

Ensure skin is well-prepped and moisturized. Use less product and blend thoroughly. Consider using a damp beauty sponge for a lighter application.

Shade appears different on skin

It's recommended to get re-shade matched, especially if you are a returning customer, as formula enhancements may alter the perfect match. Test shades on your jawline in natural light.

Difficulty in removal

Use a dedicated oil-based cleanser or micellar water designed for long-wear makeup. Double cleansing may be necessary.

Skin feels tight or dry

Ensure adequate hydration is applied before foundation. For very dry skin, consider mixing a drop of hydrating serum or facial oil into the foundation before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional long-wear capabilities
  • Wide shade range for accurate matching
  • Balances oily and dry skin concerns

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application: For best results, ensure skin is clean and moisturized. Apply directly from the bottle using fingertips, a foundation brush, or a sponge. For more controlled application, an optional reusable pump can be purchased separately. Blend seamlessly for a natural finish.

Compatibility: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores.

Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean application tools regularly to maintain hygiene and ensure smooth product application. The formula is designed to be long-wearing, so removal may require a dedicated makeup remover or oil-based cleanser.
