I’ve used Estée Lauder before, but they recently sent me in to see one of their Beauty Experts to get a customized iMatch consultation to find the right Double Wear product that suited me. Turns out, since I wanted a good coverage while not looking like I’m wearing a heavy foundation, and of course because I need something that can hold up with my job under the lights (or my job at home keeping up with three littles) without having to touch up during the day, the classic fit the bill, although they have offerings all the way from Glow BB Moisture Makeup to Powder Foundation in the Double Wear line.
If you haven’t seen what it is that I do when I’m on the road yet, well, you get a little sneak peek here.
I use the shade called ‘Dusk’ and even though I only use the smallest amount, I still find myself shocked at how much coverage it provides. It’s really simple to use, I apply it with a foundation brush after putting a dime sized amount of the foundation on the back of my hand so that I’m not dipping the brush into the bottle, and then blending outward with the brush from the center of my face. Applying this way helps to avoid a demarcation line around the chin and gives coverage where color is usually most inconsistent… around the nose, etc. I also decided to give the a try, and apply that afterward with a concealer brush after also putting a bit on the back of my hand (using my hand almost like a painter’s pallette).
So far, I’ve been using it while working and it’s been lasting me all day… even garnishing compliments.
Have you used Estée Lauder or have another favorite product you love to use? I’ve been using a powder foundation for awhile now, so it’s nice to switch it up! Any tips for a new liquid foundation user?
I customized my beauty routine through product c/o Estée Lauder through Condé Nast. All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make this blog possible.

I really, REALLY need to get my hands on the Double Wear foundation. I must be the only person who hasn’t tried it! Weird! haha. You look lovely. Love the video!

Ha! You should try it though!! At least go to the Estée Lauder counter and get matched and get a sample to test for a couple of days! I liked the coverage that my powder foundation that I was using was giving me, but when I tried this, realized that my skin looks so much better (and fresh!) with the liquid foundation… and it really does last all day, another huge plus!

Estee Lauder is the expert in skin care & make up. My skin looks much better than my same age friends. You won’t go wrong if you use any of the aforementioned products.

I enjoyed reading your info oh this foundation you found. I will be looking into it. It is so hard for me to find a full coverage foundation specially in the right shade. I waste so much money. I’m glad I was sent to your blog.

Thanks Beth!!! If you go to the makeup counter, they’ll do all the color matching for you so that you can have the perfect shade! It’s definitely a really great full-coverage foundation!
