Hey everyone! I have been hearing so many people rave about the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation for the longest time and I wanted to put it to the test!
Where To Buy & Price
I purchased mine online on the Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique for $46 CAD. You are getting 1 fl oz/30 ml of product. I originally went into a Sephora and they told me that at that particular location, they do not carry the Estee Lauder line but they do carry the Estee Edit. I thought that was ridiculous and I went to the Beauty Boutique (Shoppers Drug Mart) with no luck of swatching it in-store because they didn't carry it at that location either. Both stores do carry it online and I honestly guessed my shade when ordering it.

Update: It now retails for $52.
Shade Selection
There are 39 shades to choose from on the Beauty Boutique web site and 55 shades on Sephora's web site. They cater to all different undertones whether you are cool, neutral or warm which I really appreciate. I originally was going to purchase a darker shade and I am so glad that I did not because I ended up ordering 1N1 Ivory Nude which is an identical match for me.
How It Wears Throughout The Day & The Claims
This claims to have a 15-hour staying power which keeps you flawless all day long and is natural looking on the skin. It goes on to say that it is oil-free, lightweight and has a medium, buildable coverage. It says that it doesn't change colour and I agree with that because it did not oxidize on the skin when I put it to the test.
My skin is extremely oily all over (not just my t-zone,) and I was very impressed with it! Usually my skin is ridiculously shiny at the end of the day despite my best to control my oils with blotting sheets and translucent powder.
My skin was not half as oily as it normally gets throughout the day and I would have to agree with the claim that it is oil-controlling. I was also in a very humid and hot area to really put this foundation to the test. My foundation held up so well and I was shocked that I wasn't oily on my forehead yet! I would say that the formula was very lightweight, my face looked absolutely flawless and this is my new go-to foundation whenever I have an event or special occasion to attend! I honestly didn't expect it to wear this well throughout the day but it exceeded all of my expectations. It is also fragrance-free, Dermatologist-tested and Ophthalmologist-tested.
Is It Worth The Money?
Without hesitation, I would have to say yes! This is obviously more on the expensive side but it is definitely worth it! The formula is incredible and it helped control my oils throughout the day. I found a shade that matches me perfectly which can be a struggle for most of us. This does not come with a pump but you can obviously purchase one separately and put it on if that is what you prefer.
