Hi! Today I have another foundation to talk about which I have been using off and on for a few months. The warm and humid weather makes my skin very oily, hence I am always looking for light weight foundations that keep my skin matte all day. As you already know I like light to medium coverage I tried the Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Foundation. It comes in 10 shades on the Estee Lauder Website and just four shades are available on Sephora’s Website. I bought it in Intensity 3.0.
Product Details – LONG-WEAR. LIGHTWEIGHT. SHEER TO MEDIUM COVERAGE. 15-hour wear, light as air: long-wear makeup is now lightweight makeup. It’s makeup that keeps up. Fresh, natural, comfortable. Goes on sheer, leaves skin free to breathe all day. Controls oil. Resists smudging and won’t “melt” off through heat and humidity.
For the look that stays vibrant and fresh whether it’s a workday, a workout or a weekend. Smooth it on once and don’t think twice about it.
The packaging of the Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Stay-in-place makeup is perfect. The beige color of the tube and the golden cap is pretty and classy with the Estee Lauder logo. A small compact, soft squeeze tube that is easy to use and easy to travel with. I love how convenient the packaging is.
The texture of the Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation is creamy but it does not glide that smoothly on the skin. It feels a little stiff and we need to work well to blend it seamlessly. There is also a slight tacky feeling after application. However, once set the tackiness goes away. We can apply this Estee Lauder Stay-in-place Makeup with fingers, sponge or a brush. We get different levels of coverage with different application techniques. It does not blend that well with fingers and gives sheer coverage. Even when I use my fingers and blend it and then go over with my Tarte Kabuki brush and just buff it into the skin. When using my beauty blender it gave nice flawless finish and medium coverage, which I like. It can be built to achieve full coverage when we add another layer.
The finish of the Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Foundation is matte which I mostly prefer. The matte finish is more like powdery matte and stays that way all day. It controls my oils very well. It does not settle into fine lines and pores. Another foundation that gives and keeps me matte all day is the L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation which is also one of my favorite. The staying power of the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is good for around 5-6 hours, with primer underneath it lasts a couple hours more.
Overall, I am loving the Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation. This is a great foundation for oily skin people. In spite of giving medium to full coverage it stays all day and feels very light weight on the skin. It feels powdery smooth almost velvet like to touch, once it sets. This foundation is good for sensitive skin too, as it is fragrance and alcohol free. The best part is it controls oil well. This foundation is probably not for dry skin people as it may be more drying on their skin. If you have combination to oily skin this foundation is for you. It is easily available on Amazon.
Have you tried any foundation by Estee Lauder? Which one do you prefer? Let me know in the comments.
Until next time stay beautiful and flawless. 🙂
I have oily skin too and I prefer lighter options that give me medium and natural coverage. I haven’t tried anything from Estee Lauder yet but I want to!

Estee Lauder has some nice options for our oily skin. You can check their counters for lightweight foundation and I have heard of some BB cream for oily skin. I have not checked yet. 🙂
I have really oily skin all year round and I still haven’t found the right foundation for my skin… It always looks weird in some spots, like my chin or in between my brows… Mind you, I haven’t really been trying new ones, I’ve kind of given up on foundation for now haha
Loved reading this post, lovely photos! xx

Even I have very oily skin. I think you can try a couple new ones to see if it works. But I see you have nice skin and you don’t really need much foundation I guess. 🙂
I’ve read so many glowing reviews of Estee Lauder Double Wear this year! I always struggle with oil control but I think your review has finally convinced me to go and get skin tone matched to try some. I’ve just had some birthday money so I’m going to treat myself – thank you! xx
That’s so sweet of you Lisa. Thank you glad you liked my review. 🙂
I couldn’t wait until the morning to read your review! I love this foundation too, especially during the hot summer. The original double wear is too drying on my skin, but this one and the new nude one are fantastic. Another great review lovely 😘💕 xxx
Awww! Kristy thanks you so much lovely. I have not tried the new one but I am loving the Double wear too. It is great for my oily skin. 🙂
I used to use this foundation a few years ago and I loved it! Might have to purchase it as something lighter to wear for Summer x

Thank you so much. 🙂
Great Post! I’ve never tried Estee Lauder Foundation, but this might be one I want to try. I find that the original Double Wear might be too full coverage and thick so this would be perfect as long as I moisturise properly since I have pretty dry skin.
Absolutely. It is great for oily skin people but as you mentioned if you moisturize well it is good. 🙂
