Great minds think alike. I've been binge watching videos on EL Double Wear and Revlon's ColorStay. The latter I got and like but next i'll 'graduate' up to Double Wear. Too many are raving about it and now you have too! flipping 'eck it's a sign.
I have oily skin and large pores as well as lines under my eyes. I used to use the Color stay liquid foundation and no matter what method i tried prior, I found that just after a few hours my face looked super shiny and cakey. I did a lot of research and found more and more positive reviews on double wear. I got color matched at the dept store and I was sold! Let me tell you!! This foundation has changed my life! It stays put for a good 20 hours plus! I've tried EVERY foundation on the market. Even foundations shipped from around the world who also claim matte long wear. I no longer have to wear a concealer. Wayne, it looks amazing and so naturally flawless on you! Absolutely gorgeous..I love it! Muah 💋
@@Rahila2323 I've started using it as I wanted something to fix my smile lines. This foundation does have flashback and it's ghostly. But I layer it up with another sheer foundation on top. Layering double wear beneath and makeup forever / armani luminous silk on top doesn't give a flash. Although the daytime double wear is beyond expectations in 46 degree Celsius heat.
This is the best foundation to cover broken veins without heaviness. 20 years ago I had radiotherapy to my head and neck and a year after saw damaged skin on my neck and décolletage. Broken veins on my neck down to my cleavage. I’m fair and burned badly during the radiation treatment. The official name for the broken veins is Telangiectasia. The broken small blood vessels sit near the skin’s surface and create a visible pattern of lines. People often refer to them as spider veins. I had a Red Cross lesson on how to apply Dermablend which did cover it really well, but the Dermablend setting powder made me too itchy. In 2003 an assistant at the Estée Lauder counter told me they used double wear to cover up tattoos for brides. I have found it the best foundation make up cover for Telangiectasia. I was taught to dampen and squeeze out a natural sponge and put a little foundation on the back of my non dominant hand. Then to pick up some foundation on the sponge and tamp it over the skin to apply coats thinly until I got correct coverage of the veins. It has been a life saver. I used to wear it all the time, but with time have accustomed myself to the problem and am less bothered at home when I catch sight of myself. But if I’m going out and showing any of the affected skin I use Estée Lauder Double Wear. It sets matt and no setting powder is needed. It’s a very fine coat and not at all thick or heavy. People tell me they can’t see anything wrong if I mention hating the broken veins, well that’s because the double wear foundation is so good. The last pot I bought was £35 for 30 ml. I use it sparingly with the sponge or brush and it’s very effective. I’m so glad they have kept the product and in fact they’ve increased the range of skin tones so I have an even more perfect match than before and the first match had been very good. I love it. It doesn’t come off in wear on clothing, is long lasting, but a few make up wipes help remove it easily.
I absolutely enjoy your videos. I find them to be the most educational and relevant videos on TH-cam. Please keep up the fantastic work you are doing. You have a captive audience.
Wayne, this is the best foundation on your skin; it looks natural like you are not wearing any makeup at all. I have it now and would not wear any other foundation.
This foundation is the holy grail I have been searching years for! In my opinion, I believe it'll work best on oily skin, which is 100% me and it's always been a problem for me... With this foundation, my oil is controlled throughout the day and when I do need to blot, the foundation doesn't transfer onto the blotting sheet, tissue paper, etc... So the coverage stays amazing all day. I also have problematic skin and the coverage works great with my blemishes and acne scars. It doesn't help much with pores like others have mentioned but I suppose I would rather have the coverage and controlled oil, so it's all about personal preference! I recommend this for anyone with oily skin!
I've been wearing this foundation for the past 3 years. I absolutely love it! It can get dry because it's oil free AND oil controlling, but definitely doable. The finish and coverage are the best I've came across so far. I used to work for Estee Lauder for a short time, and everyone I introduced this to fell in love with it! Also, if you don't like not having a pump, you can purchase one from Clinique for a really affordable price! Thanks for another amazing and helpful video Goss!
I always look to see if you've reviewed or have opinions on a product before I buy, because you're one of the only honest makeup artists on TH-cam. Thank you for that! You're wonderful.
I LOOVE this foundation! literally the best to wear on special occasions! with awesome coverage and somehow miraculously lasts for AGES! i have dry skin, and as long as i moisturise beforehand its fine.
This is my absolute favorite foundation for my oily/combination skin. I wear it to work during my 12 hour shifts as a nurse, and through ALL the mess that, I still look great at the end of the day. Besides, there is an immaculate color selection for women of color!!
love this foundation. my skin is normal to dry and i had problems wearing this foundation until i finally found right skin care products that suit me perfectly with it. 😅 Great video
I loooooooove estee lauders double wear foundation. It's my holy grail. The lasting power is unbelievable. I can fall asleep with my makeup and wake up looking exactly the same. It doesn't smudge or budge. It's full coverage and feels so good on my skin. It's pretty much the only full coverage foundation that doesn't give me breakouts either.
+Melissa Robles I actually hardly wear primer because I think it makes my face oily. I use mehron setting powder over the foundation and I stay matte all day. But not like a crusty dry matte. The finish is really nice. Almost airbrushed. Maybe it's the setting powder that does it for me I'm not sure.
Just tried this foundation. They do sell a pump now for $10 but I’ve seen others recycle pumps from other brands. Lol. I love this foundation! Why didn’t I try it sooner? I use a damp beauty blender as I can not get the foundation brush technique to work for me. It stays on all day with very little to no transfer to a surgical mask. I am shade 2C1 Pure Beige. I use IT Bye Bye Undereye concealer if needed but honestly, it covers well; it’s mainly to brighter the under eye area. It dries quickly so you would not need a setting powder but I just like the feel of it. (I’m old. Lol). I use the ELF HD in Sheer. Y’all, I can’t say enough how amazing this is. Worth every penny
I've been wearing this foundation for YEARS! I can't say enough about it. It's matte without looking cakey, the wear time is UNBELIEVABLE, still looks pretty darn perfect at the end of the day, coverage - amazing. I think everyone should at least go try it at their local Lauder counter.
I have to say, out of the 10 years I have been wearing foundation, (and every day at that), I LOVE this foundation! I have extremely oily/acne prone skin and this does wonders for me. I noticed that before if I took a nap in my foundation it would break me out but not this stuff! It does not move or transfer off when i blot the oil/sweat from my face while working a crazy shift as a waitress. It's LITERALLY the best foundation I have ever used and it had never made me breakout. In fact, when I switched from Revlon Colorstay to the Doublewear my skin cleared up so fast! It is a little bit expensive but its definitely worth it. I have had mine for 5 months now. You don't need much though. Sometimes I'll just mix a tiny bit with moisturizer. Please go get this!! Oh and get all the free samples you can first. Haha that's what I did to find my perfect shade. :)
I have been using this foundation for years, applying it the way the beauty consultant at the store taught me. Lately I have been getting alot of creases and I have grown unhappy with it. However, the way you applied the foundation was different and used much less product. I tried it using your technique and I am so happy I did. It solved my problems and I like the foundation again. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this.
I am thankful everyday for this foundation because in days when I have a horrible break out and for my acne scaring a light layer of this makes me look flawless. I am matt all day (which is a miracle). I just love it.
I've tried literally about every foundation you can think of, but nothing has ever compared to my Estee Lauder double wear! Great review and I can't wait to get your brushes- no doubt they are excellent quality- you'd never put your name on anything less than amazing! :)
I am a 44 yr old woman with normal to dry skin. With some manipulation to the skin, through moisturizer and a Beauty Blender, I get a dewy glow with this foundation. It is my Holy Grail👍🏻. For days where I know I'm going to be in full glam for more than 12 hours, I will use UD All Nighter setting spray. Which also gives me a bit of a glow. The longevity can NOT be beat. I find it looks like skin on my face. Does not feel heavy and never looks cakey. It gives me what I need, 15+ hours of coverage, why stray?😏it looks the same when I out it on at 6am as it does when I take it off at 9-10 pm. No joke. Thank you for reviewing this amazing product on your channe😉Wink
I have been using this foundation for about 13 years. I ALWAYS go back to it - I'm hooked on the flawless finish it gives - its just perfect. Nothing else ever comes close. The only thing i ever changed was going from Fresco to Ecru as my skin has changed as i have got older. I apply it with my hands and the warmth of my hands works perfectly with this formula. I love it so much!
+Courtelizz1 It is full coverage. I don't use it as a daily, only for special occasions...but I take impeccable care of my skin and like a natural look on for work days. It sticks to itself and its concealer and doesn't layer well. Bit of a learning curve, but it can really make your skin look perfect.
Yes!!! This has been the only foundation that has worked for me. I've tried so many others but I always kick myself for wasting the money. It always works, without fail and never breaks me out. I love that I don't have to be "that girl" always obsessively touching up her makeup. It is a flawless base that makes everything else on top of it last and look that much better. I never have to touch up for at least 12hrs or more. I'm so glad you're on the Double Wear train Wayne! I think you'll only love it more and more every time you use it. Play with the application method! I didn't like it at first because I was buffing it. I have a friend who can be a bit slap-dash with it and trust me it can go wrong if you don't know how to work with it. I love stippling it with a dual fiber brush personally. Love you Wayne! Thank you!!!
This is my favorite foundation ever. I find that it gives even more coverage when used with a beauty blender, but I also love the coverage I get when I apply it with a brush. Thank you for your professional thoughts on it. Love you Wayne! God bless you. :)
Just tried this foundation for the first time this summer, and wore it for my wedding in August. I have very oily skin and am acne prone. Amazing coverage, does not look cakey and it's pretty sweat proof too! The only downside to it (barely) is that it does cover VERY well so if you don't add contour or blush to your face you will look washed out.
Been using this for the past two weeks in shade 3N1 (ivory beige) and it is absolutely my HG foundation. I have combination skin and do use the primer from EL as well, but I only need to use a small amount of this foundation for complete coverage which lasts all day. I use a dusting of translucent powder to set initially, and then a tiny amount maybe twice during the day just over my T zone. I am delighted to have found a foundation that I really want to wear and that I am so happy with, and i've tried so many other high end foundations. So pleased that you have done a review Wayne and that you think its good. Thank you as always for all your fantastic hard work, you are appreciated by all of us.
I absolutely love double wear and have been using it for the past 4 years.. It lasts well for the whole day and may I add that your skin is looking great! Take care of yourself and enjoy the weekend to come x
I found that foundation to be incredibly drying and made me look older 😳 and I have oily skin!! But my sister loves it. Thank you for your review and video!!
I use this foundation ,and I've tried several other foundation. I keep coming back to Estee lauder. I love it and it wears beautifully all day long !!!
This is my favorite foundation of all time. Having used every foundation from Nars, to Charlotte Tilbury to Makeup Forever, the trusty Estee Lauder Double Wear achieves the best and most natural coverage and really does last all day (and even all night!) without budging! For the more mature skin, make sure to put on a lovely rich moisturiser or primer and it doesn't look drying or sink in to any wrinkles (tried and tested on my 57 year old mother :) )
I absolutely love this foundation. It is so beautiful on the skin and SO long lasting - for example I applied this at 7:30 this morning and by the time I got home at 8pm, it still looked perfect! It's on the expensive side, but so so worth it!
Yay! You are a tough critic on foundation, so I'm glad you love this like I do! I always get a ton of compliments on my skin when I wear this! It's just my favorite foundation for look and longevity
I love your videos, I trust you because many other channels are just about selling things to you because they are most likely getting paid for but you are very honest and get to the point
Hi Wayne. I have noticed multiple times in your videos that sometimes when you doing a foundation demo, the foundation were not fully blended. For example this time there were two big patch of foundation on your forehead. Is this because the lighting is too bright so you did see well? Love your videos! Thank you so much
Hi Wayne could you please do eye makeup tutorials for asian women (monolids)? I've learnt sooooo much from watching your videos, but damn, I just cant seem to get my eyeshadow right LOL.
i have this foundation and i have dry skin. the key is to prep ur skin very well before putting on. it dose last ALL NIGHT! one of the reasons i love it as a going out foundation. fab video wayne xx
Double wear girl here! 2c4 ivory rose!! By far the BEST foundation I have ever tried and I have wasted so much money over the years but this is my holy grail! Even though i have dry skin, i found using a really good moisturiser helps. It does take a bit of practice to get the perfect doublewear technique down, but a little goes a loooong way!
I bought this foundation in May and I have a little less than half left. I love it!! You only need a little bit to cover your face. My T-zone gets super oily and this is the only foundation that I have found that won't slide off my face after 2 hours. Love, love, love it!!
Hey Goss!!Love you and your videos. I'm in LOVE with this foundation for years but because of my skin acne problems I rarely use it, only on big occasions, because i have to use makeup like the avene one that help with problematic skin. But it has the best finish and eeeeverything you put on to it sticks to your skin and lasts ALL DAY LONG. I have a question for you though. Three years ago you posted a video THE BEST LIQUID FOUNDATIONS - EVER!!!! and you said at the 7:45 minute that you tried it but you didn't think it was brilliant. I know is shocking for me to remember it but it is because i used this foundation back then and your review matters to me. What changed your mind? Anyway take care and you ROCK!
+Wayne Goss .Oh my God I can't believe you responded me .I love you and your videos you taught me sooo much. Yeah maybe it changed,you got even more handsome not older,you leveled up ^_^ . Thanks for responding, and keep up the great job. You are the the king.
I have dry skin and this is my favourite foundation ever as long as I use a moisture and leave it on my skin for five minutes it does not move all day and stayes perfect ! loveeeee it xxxxx
this is a really great foundation.. i've purchased it several times.. i have super pale skin and although it matches my color perfectly, i find that over the course of the day it kinda turns orangey in some parts.. i'm not sure why this happens?
The foundation oxidises because your skin starts producing oils throughout the day which mix with the foundation and make it more tan. You could prevent by making sure you powder or use a mattifying primer
I don't find mine does that, could be the type of oil your skin produces to make it oxidise ? Does it still do this if you keep the area well powdered?
Ellie Johnston my skin is super fair, so maybe it's more obvious? as opposed to somebody with a more tanned skin tone.. i do use powder and primer.. just not sure why? i guess it's the oils on my skin
LOVE this foundation. I use an illuminating primer underneath and I pair with a highlighting blush. The matte foundation with the illuminating products makes my skin look fantastic ! :)
This has been my foundation for years, absolutely LOVE it, great to see you approve. After seeing your review of MAC's new waterweight I went to try it, as doublewear is so full coverage i've been looking for something sheer. Didn't love waterweight in store, BUT brought some home to try, mixed it with Benefit high beam on a whim and It was absolutely gorgeous as a sheer veil over skin, so natural. Sweep of YSL false eyelash effect, anastasia brow duo, bobbi brown shimmer brick through the crease and Just topped it off with Dior lipglow balm on the apples of the cheeks and lips. Such a nice natural look.
This foundation is absolutely incredible. It lasts all day. Works amazingly for oily to combo skin and doesn't transfer on to clothes. The only downside is, it looks horrible with flash photography. Even with a colored setting powder. It leaves a horrible white caste that makes you look like a ghost.
I've yet to find a foundation as amazing as this and I have tried so many!!!! been using this for a 2 years and can't imagine ever using any other one!! it stays on so well for 15 hours or more!! can't say anything but amazing stuff for this foundation!
+kkptk1 Yep. That's my biggest gripe with this foundation. What's odd though. I wore this foundation for my senior photos, and it looked amazing. No white cast at all. But if I wear this and use my digital camera…really bad white cast. *shrug* Can't win em all I suppose.
+kkptk1 The new Double Wear To Go - The one Wayne mentioned in the clicky compact it lush because there's no SPF. It's the zinc Oxide in SPF that gives you the white cast.
I swear by this foundation. The coverage is immaculate. They have great range of shades for every skin tone. I use this on my clients and I love the finish it gives.
No, the thanks belong to you. You've been guiding me on how to look polished and put together since 2012. I really appreciate all that you do on this channel.
+Mimi Nwabuoku The exact same thing happened to me! Not sure what happened, although I have been very busy working on my diploma thesis and haven't noticed for a while..
I bought this last year and it has been my holy grail foundation. It saved me when I had problimatic skin, and I still use it if I will be out for 10+ hours. The finish is satin which I also love !
This foundation is one of may biggest regrets of purchase. I want to love it soo bad, but I don't it cakes even when I use a bleauty blender, I do not get all day wear from it ( i have tried all different ways of wearing) and too top it off It breaks me out and I end up with little white heads all over my face which almost never happens 😦 I feel like the only person this foundation doesn't work for lol
Hi Wayne, so glad you tried this foundation, I use a damp real techniques sponge with this and do one area at a time, pushing it into the skin and it looks very skinlike ! Give it a try, love you !
+Wayne Goss I use Chikuhodo and have had them a while...pretty soft! But after watching your video was actuallly thinking of buying some powder puffs. :)
I think I tried a regular wedge and didn't like it. I mostly prefer the bb because it's wet and it dilutes the foundation (which is too full for me) out. A brush though...never was able to make it look smooth with a brush haha
I like a more full coverage look so I use a flat top brush. A beauty blender is good for a much lighter coverage. It just depends how you like to wear your foundation.
It's a good foundation for him but I think he needed more of it to cover his face. It's not to cover imperfections but to ensure that his face was one color. I could see areas where he applied the foundation to his face and areas where he did not. Am I the only one who saw this?
So glad you like Double Wear.It's my favorite for evening makeup. I wear Double Wear Light for day, Intensity 1.0. I also like the Double Wear concealer.
This made my pores HUGE .. Yes I can use pore filler primers, but I hate primers and I think it made the foundation disappear when I used one.. I just wanna know if anyone have the same issue because it really annoys me :(
+Hajer A. It made my pores look huge and I don't have large pores :( I have tried it with and without pore fillers. Still looks horrible. It also clings to dry patches or any little spot.
I have oily skin, and I feel like this happens with almost all foundations. The only one I found that looks nice for a long time (on myself personally) is the Bare Minerals powder foundation. I used their Prime Time Oil Control primer with it.
omg thank you! Everybody loves this foundation but it looks so horrible on my skin... I thought I am the only one. It doesn't even works with a good primer for me :( I am so sad, because I hoped to find the perfect foundation in this one
Thank you so much for all of your videos! Since I started really watching them and implementing your tips my foundation and face makeup looks so much better. No more caking, my pores look smaller, and I feel more comfortable. Thank you for all the great advice!! It means so much, especially to those of us over 30!❤️❤️
Love Double Wear but the flash back from standard or phone cameras is horrific! Total ghost face situation. Such a shame cause it really looks lovely in person and lasts all day.
This is my holy grail foundation! I use it with Burberry Fresh Glow primer and the two just "do it" for me! I get so many compliments on my make up with this! I am 43 years old and I was told a few times that I look younger than my 18 year old daughter!
Wayne I love this foundation for special occasions! I am a 62 year old male with redness discoloration issues, on my combo/oily skin. I find that I have to moisturize the driers areas of my face very well!
Hi Wayne just wanted to tell you know got your brushes yesterday used them today and just amazing got so many compliments today and I used the same products I always use. Your brushes are a dream. Thank thank you so much
I've loved this foundation now for over 10 years. Every time I go back to it bc I like to experiment with new products i always fall right back in love. Nothing compares to the lasting power of this foundation.
I'm a chef and this is the only foundation I can use that won't swear off and still looks amazing after 14 hours, I'm in love with this foundation :)

However, the way you applied the foundation was different and used much less product. I tried it using your technique and I am so happy I did. It solved my problems and I like the foundation again. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this.
I've always wanted to try Estée Lauder foundation. It looks so flawless on so many people. It's next on my list, thanks for this review.
I am thankful everyday for this foundation because in days when I have a horrible break out and for my acne scaring a light layer of this makes me look flawless. I am matt all day (which is a miracle). I just love it.
I've tried literally about every foundation you can think of, but nothing has ever compared to my Estee Lauder double wear! Great review and I can't wait to get your brushes- no doubt they are excellent quality- you'd never put your name on anything less than amazing! :)
It's my absolute favorite! I use it on almost all my bridal clients. The photographers always compliment how pretty it is and stays on. Love it!!!
I am a 44 yr old woman with normal to dry skin. With some manipulation to the skin, through moisturizer and a Beauty Blender, I get a dewy glow with this foundation. It is my Holy Grail👍🏻. For days where I know I'm going to be in full glam for more than 12 hours, I will use UD All Nighter setting spray. Which also gives me a bit of a glow. The longevity can NOT be beat. I find it looks like skin on my face. Does not feel heavy and never looks cakey. It gives me what I need, 15+ hours of coverage, why stray?😏it looks the same when I out it on at 6am as it does when I take it off at 9-10 pm. No joke. Thank you for reviewing this amazing product on your channe😉Wink
I have been using this foundation for about 13 years. I ALWAYS go back to it - I'm hooked on the flawless finish it gives - its just perfect. Nothing else ever comes close. The only thing i ever changed was going from Fresco to Ecru as my skin has changed as i have got older. I apply it with my hands and the warmth of my hands works perfectly with this formula. I love it so much!
If I am not mistaken, the Mac pump will fit the Estee Lauder Double Wear bottle. :-)
+Mindy Olmstead Yes it fits :) I have it on my double wear! so much better!
This is true!! Works perfect, just have to snip a tiny bit off the end of the bottom and it's great!!
+Mindy Olmsted Thanks for the tip!!
Yes it does fit. Mac and Estee Lauder get their bottles for their foundation from the same manufacturer.
Estee and Mac are same company, so yea i think some of them have same quality
Best foundation EVER for oily skin. My holy grail! Happy to see your handsome face again
I need to get this foundation! And your brushes! Manny was just talking about them and he convinced me! Any else?!
Amazing for oily skin! highly recommend! i've been wearing it almost daily for one year. most beautiful finish ever!
You MUST try this foundation! It's my HG and I even have dry skin!
+Courtelizz1 It is full coverage. I don't use it as a daily, only for special occasions...but I take impeccable care of my skin and like a natural look on for work days. It sticks to itself and its concealer and doesn't layer well. Bit of a learning curve, but it can really make your skin look perfect.
It's the best!! Also the Mac pump fits this if you want a pump for it. It's my holy grail 😊
+Allison Ho does it clog the pores
How long do you wear this foundation. I have it but I'm afraid to wear it everyday all day
Best foundation I have ever used! Looks even better the longer you have it on!
The quality of this video is so amazing, I feel like I'm standing right in front of you.
+Alyssa Sharm Thank you so much xx
yes, the quality of this video is amazing! 🙌
+Wayne Goss i was kissing the screen 😘
Yes!!! This has been the only foundation that has worked for me. I've tried so many others but I always kick myself for wasting the money. It always works, without fail and never breaks me out. I love that I don't have to be "that girl" always obsessively touching up her makeup. It is a flawless base that makes everything else on top of it last and look that much better. I never have to touch up for at least 12hrs or more. I'm so glad you're on the Double Wear train Wayne! I think you'll only love it more and more every time you use it. Play with the application method! I didn't like it at first because I was buffing it. I have a friend who can be a bit slap-dash with it and trust me it can go wrong if you don't know how to work with it. I love stippling it with a dual fiber brush personally. Love you Wayne! Thank you!!!
why getting more and more handsome every single video?
He can totally be Christian Grey.
+Crystal Archuleta LOL Totally agree!!!!! 💗
+Crystal Archuleta yes!
It's the beard x glowing skin 😍
The hair's a factor, too
Been using this foundation for years!! I always come back to it! The best coverage I've seen from a foundation hands down!!
This is my favorite foundation ever. I find that it gives even more coverage when used with a beauty blender, but I also love the coverage I get when I apply it with a brush.
Thank you for your professional thoughts on it. Love you Wayne! God bless you. :)
perfect shirt and flower choice ! it make your eyes pop ! oh and I agree this foundation is perfect !
Just tried this foundation for the first time this summer, and wore it for my wedding in August. I have very oily skin and am acne prone. Amazing coverage, does not look cakey and it's pretty sweat proof too! The only downside to it (barely) is that it does cover VERY well so if you don't add contour or blush to your face you will look washed out.
HayGurl Hay totally agree
Been using this for the past two weeks in shade 3N1 (ivory beige) and it is absolutely my HG foundation. I have combination skin and do use the primer from EL as well, but I only need to use a small amount of this foundation for complete coverage which lasts all day. I use a dusting of translucent powder to set initially, and then a tiny amount maybe twice during the day just over my T zone. I am delighted to have found a foundation that I really want to wear and that I am so happy with, and i've tried so many other high end foundations. So pleased that you have done a review Wayne and that you think its good. Thank you as always for all your fantastic hard work, you are appreciated by all of us.
This foundation is one of my favorites!
I absolutely love double wear and have been using it for the past 4 years.. It lasts well for the whole day and may I add that your skin is looking great! Take care of yourself and enjoy the weekend to come x
I found that foundation to be incredibly drying and made me look older 😳 and I have oily skin!! But my sister loves it. Thank you for your review and video!!
I use this foundation ,and I've tried several other foundation. I keep coming back to Estee lauder. I love it and it wears beautifully all day long !!!
This is my favorite foundation of all time. Having used every foundation from Nars, to Charlotte Tilbury to Makeup Forever, the trusty Estee Lauder Double Wear achieves the best and most natural coverage and really does last all day (and even all night!) without budging!
For the more mature skin, make sure to put on a lovely rich moisturiser or primer and it doesn't look drying or sink in to any wrinkles (tried and tested on my 57 year old mother :) )
I absolutely love this foundation. It is so beautiful on the skin and SO long lasting - for example I applied this at 7:30 this morning and by the time I got home at 8pm, it still looked perfect! It's on the expensive side, but so so worth it!
the mac pump fits it perfect wayne :)
Yes. I was going to comment that the MAC pump fits perfectly.
Yay! You are a tough critic on foundation, so I'm glad you love this like I do! I always get a ton of compliments on my skin when I wear this! It's just my favorite foundation for look and longevity
Im gagging... You had pics of foundation on IG andnot having the doublewear... I commented it was my fav and now you have a vid love it!
+Dee abee I listend darling :) xxxx thank you x
I love your videos, I trust you because many other channels are just about selling things to you because they are most likely getting paid for but you are very honest and get to the point
Hi Wayne. I have noticed multiple times in your videos that sometimes when you doing a foundation demo, the foundation were not fully blended. For example this time there were two big patch of foundation on your forehead. Is this because the lighting is too bright so you did see well? Love your videos! Thank you so much
*didnt
+mintteaco So Agree.... his temple had no foundation! P.S. I thought this foundation color was not a match for him.
yes I thought I was the only one that notice it wasn't blended, it was killing be because I could clearly see some spots with no foundation at all
He's probably just testing it out
mintteaco I
I'm sooooo glad you reviewed this. I've been wanting to try it for a but now, but have been hesitant. Love that you are always honest.
Hi Wayne could you please do eye makeup tutorials for asian women (monolids)?
I've learnt sooooo much from watching your videos, but damn, I just cant seem to get my eyeshadow right LOL.
agree
i have this foundation and i have dry skin. the key is to prep ur skin very well before putting on. it dose last ALL NIGHT! one of the reasons i love it as a going out foundation. fab video wayne xx
I ran out and got this foundation. Thank you so much! I love it! By the way you look a lot like David Beckham. 😊
Double wear girl here! 2c4 ivory rose!! By far the BEST foundation I have ever tried and I have wasted so much money over the years but this is my holy grail! Even though i have dry skin, i found using a really good moisturiser helps. It does take a bit of practice to get the perfect doublewear technique down, but a little goes a loooong way!
Is this foundation better thn the mac studio fix? Idk which foundation to buy??
I bought this foundation in May and I have a little less than half left. I love it!! You only need a little bit to cover your face. My T-zone gets super oily and this is the only foundation that I have found that won't slide off my face after 2 hours. Love, love, love it!!
Love the video Wayne! Are you using a new camera? The video looks very high def and surreal.
+TheCaitiefly I'm using the Lumix gh4 darling - been using it for about 4 months now :) love it ;) and thank you xx
+Wayne Goss omg. Checked the price...Can't afford it. :P great quality!
it's my holy grail!! glad that people love it as well
Hey Goss!!Love you and your videos. I'm in LOVE with this foundation for years but because of my skin acne problems I rarely use it, only on big occasions, because i have to use makeup like the avene one that help with problematic skin. But it has the best finish and eeeeverything you put on to it sticks to your skin and lasts ALL DAY LONG. I have a question for you though. Three years ago you posted a video THE BEST LIQUID FOUNDATIONS - EVER!!!! and you said at the 7:45 minute that you tried it but you didn't think it was brilliant. I know is shocking for me to remember it but it is because i used this foundation back then and your review matters to me. What changed your mind? Anyway take care and you ROCK!
+Sotiria G. I think my skin changed darling. Is my only guess. Back then not so much, now it just looked so good on my skin. Getting older maybe?
+Wayne Goss .Oh my God I can't believe you responded me .I love you and your videos you taught me sooo much. Yeah maybe it changed,you got even more handsome not older,you leveled up ^_^ . Thanks for responding, and keep up the great job. You are the the king.
I have dry skin and this is my favourite foundation ever as long as I use a moisture and leave it on my skin for five minutes it does not move all day and stayes perfect ! loveeeee it xxxxx
this is a really great foundation.. i've purchased it several times.. i have super pale skin and although it matches my color perfectly, i find that over the course of the day it kinda turns orangey in some parts.. i'm not sure why this happens?
Some foundations "oxidize" apparently, according to some ytubers
This happens to me with any foundation. I've found that it helps to get one that's one or two shades lighter than my skin tone.
The foundation oxidises because your skin starts producing oils throughout the day which mix with the foundation and make it more tan. You could prevent by making sure you powder or use a mattifying primer
I don't find mine does that, could be the type of oil your skin produces to make it oxidise ? Does it still do this if you keep the area well powdered?
Ellie Johnston my skin is super fair, so maybe it's more obvious? as opposed to somebody with a more tanned skin tone.. i do use powder and primer.. just not sure why? i guess it's the oils on my skin
Gosh!! You are one beautiful human!! 😍 super quick and to the point review and demo. Can't ask for more.
LOVE this foundation. I use an illuminating primer underneath and I pair with a highlighting blush. The matte foundation with the illuminating products makes my skin look fantastic ! :)
Olivia Fillmer It's the illuminating primer by ELF. It's the yellow one!
I have used this foundation since I was 14!!! Absolutely love, and swear by this for my oily skin.
Love this foundation but stopped wearing it bcoz I felt it made my pores huuge! Love the video thanks Goss
This has been my foundation for years, absolutely LOVE it, great to see you approve. After seeing your review of MAC's new waterweight I went to try it, as doublewear is so full coverage i've been looking for something sheer. Didn't love waterweight in store, BUT brought some home to try, mixed it with Benefit high beam on a whim and It was absolutely gorgeous as a sheer veil over skin, so natural. Sweep of YSL false eyelash effect, anastasia brow duo, bobbi brown shimmer brick through the crease and Just topped it off with Dior lipglow balm on the apples of the cheeks and lips. Such a nice natural look.
This foundation is absolutely incredible. It lasts all day. Works amazingly for oily to combo skin and doesn't transfer on to clothes. The only downside is, it looks horrible with flash photography. Even with a colored setting powder. It leaves a horrible white caste that makes you look like a ghost.
Which foundation would you recommend for flash photography?
I've yet to find a foundation as amazing as this and I have tried so many!!!! been using this for a 2 years and can't imagine ever using any other one!! it stays on so well for 15 hours or more!! can't say anything but amazing stuff for this foundation!
I love everything about this foundation EXCEPT the white cast I get in with flash photography. Anyone else have this issue?
+kkptk1 This was my holy grail foundation in the late 90's, and when I look back at pics from that time I laugh because I had total white cast, lol.
+kkptk1 Yep. That's my biggest gripe with this foundation. What's odd though. I wore this foundation for my senior photos, and it looked amazing. No white cast at all. But if I wear this and use my digital camera…really bad white cast. *shrug* Can't win em all I suppose.
+kkptk1 The new Double Wear To Go - The one Wayne mentioned in the clicky compact it lush because there's no SPF. It's the zinc Oxide in SPF that gives you the white cast.
Fifteenminutesoffemme titanium dioxide*
Meredith Hammett Yes Titanium Dioxide also. Both of them work as physical SPFs to reflect light away from the face hence the white cast sometimes :)
I swear by this foundation. The coverage is immaculate. They have great range of shades for every skin tone. I use this on my clients and I love the finish it gives.
I mix this with my Guerlain Lingerie De Peau & it'd PERFECTION!
Ps the MAC pumps fit on the double wear bottle! Only $10!
+Emily Olson the clinuque pumps fit also and they are only $2 just an fyi (:
awesome!!
+ThatModelChick14 Where do you buy the Clinique pump? :)
+Emily Olson
Thank you! Good to know! The Guerlain is my favorite foundation ever so I have to give it a try!
Phenomenal quality of the video!! This is almost like real life. I have never seen anything like this!!
I just re-subscribed(not sure when it happened, but I noticed that you were no longer under my subscriptions - that was soon corrected).
+Mimi Nwabuoku Awww thank you darling :) xx
No, the thanks belong to you. You've been guiding me on how to look polished and put together since 2012. I really appreciate all that you do on this channel.
+Mimi Nwabuoku I'm also one who found myself unsubscribed. I'm not sure why this seems to happen every other year or so.
+Mimi Nwabuoku The exact same thing happened to me! Not sure what happened, although I have been very busy working on my diploma thesis and haven't noticed for a while..
+Mimi Nwabuoku Me too... Strange.
I bought this last year and it has been my holy grail foundation. It saved me when I had problimatic skin, and I still use it if I will be out for 10+ hours. The finish is satin which I also love !
This foundation is one of may biggest regrets of purchase. I want to love it soo bad, but I don't it cakes even when I use a bleauty blender, I do not get all day wear from it ( i have tried all different ways of wearing) and too top it off It breaks me out and I end up with little white heads all over my face which almost never happens 😦 I feel like the only person this foundation doesn't work for lol
It makes many faces look casket, including mine. :(
I wanted to love it took and was so disappointed and I have oily skin
+CaliCookie cakey **
+Erin Hunt Same thing happened to me!
It broke me out as well.
Hi Wayne, so glad you tried this foundation, I use a damp real techniques sponge with this and do one area at a time, pushing it into the skin and it looks very skinlike ! Give it a try, love you !
I work in television. This covers anything and holds! Hope you love it as much as i do,
Suzanne Barr
Deadly Sins, Investigation Discovery
Have been using the same foundation I do love it but at night time pic ghost face what can I do?
also sinking into my fine line around my eyes any advise
Yep!!! My ALL TIME favorite foundation !!! The staying power is unreal!!
I'm rather new to your channel. Just watched a video about how to apply powder, use a puff not a brush. I was surprised to see you use a brush here.
+Jennifer P Brushes this soft didn't exist at the time - thats why i created my own :) xx
+Wayne Goss I use Chikuhodo and have had them a while...pretty soft! But after watching your video was actuallly thinking of buying some powder puffs. :)
+Wayne Goss I'm a nurse. I use Victoria secret and mac primer but my make up still gets on my clothes. Help I need that to stop
It's my favorite, it works so well for those of us with combo/oily skin. Which I fall into the later of those but, I'm glad you finally tried it.
noooooo not a brush with this hahahaha
beauty blender is the only way to use this
I think I tried a regular wedge and didn't like it. I mostly prefer the bb because it's wet and it dilutes the foundation (which is too full for me) out. A brush though...never was able to make it look smooth with a brush haha
I agree!
+Melissa Hewit The wedges always worked great for me too.
+huchi mama You can use the wedges wet as well… Always damp any foundation sponge before apply foundation.
I like a more full coverage look so I use a flat top brush. A beauty blender is good for a much lighter coverage. It just depends how you like to wear your foundation.
Beauty blender and this foundation is my holy grail. Been using this for about 5 years and I still love it!!!
I did not like Beauty blender foundation. I havent tried Estee Lauder doublewear yet.
It's a good foundation for him but I think he needed more of it to cover his face. It's not to cover imperfections but to ensure that his face was one color. I could see areas where he applied the foundation to his face and areas where he did not. Am I the only one who saw this?
Seuachi I thought the same thing!!! The temple area looked like it was missed.
I think it could've also been bc he used a shade that was too dark/tan
So glad you like Double Wear.It's my favorite for evening makeup. I wear Double Wear Light for day, Intensity 1.0. I also like the Double Wear concealer.
This made my pores HUGE .. Yes I can use pore filler primers, but I hate primers and I think it made the foundation disappear when I used one..
I just wanna know if anyone have the same issue because it really annoys me :(
Same:(
+Hajer A. It made my pores look huge and I don't have large pores :( I have tried it with and without pore fillers. Still looks horrible. It also clings to dry patches or any little spot.
I have oily skin, and I feel like this happens with almost all foundations. The only one I found that looks nice for a long time (on myself personally) is the Bare Minerals powder foundation. I used their Prime Time Oil Control primer with it.
Me too. It also made my face dry. I have combination skin.
omg thank you! Everybody loves this foundation but it looks so horrible on my skin... I thought I am the only one. It doesn't even works with a good primer for me :( I am so sad, because I hoped to find the perfect foundation in this one
Thank you so much for all of your videos! Since I started really watching them and implementing your tips my foundation and face makeup looks so much better. No more caking, my pores look smaller, and I feel more comfortable. Thank you for all the great advice!! It means so much, especially to those of us over 30!❤️❤️
Love Double Wear but the flash back from standard or phone cameras is horrific! Total ghost face situation. Such a shame cause it really looks lovely in person and lasts all day.
try wet n wild photo focus foundation.
This is my holy grail foundation! I use it with Burberry Fresh Glow primer and the two just "do it" for me! I get so many compliments on my make up with this! I am 43 years old and I was told a few times that I look younger than my 18 year old daughter!
it looks spotty on him?? am I the only one who see this??
Wayne I love this foundation for special occasions! I am a 62 year old male with redness discoloration issues, on my combo/oily skin. I find that I have to moisturize the driers areas of my face very well!
Only downside of Double Wear is it's a bitch to get off.. If anyone has face wash recommendations please let me know
Try coconut oil!!
A Clarisonic
+xmeljayne just use oil for ALL makeup removal -- but makeup remover oil! I don't like the feel of straight plant oils, personally
jojoba oil and then a face brush like the clarisonic with ur face wash
oh god. yes. please cleanse your face normally after!!!
This by far is my favorite foundation! I love your videos, and advice!
I'm so glad you like the foundation, I have been using this for 25 years
Hi Wayne just wanted to tell you know got your brushes yesterday used them today and just amazing got so many compliments today and I used the same products I always use. Your brushes are a dream. Thank thank you so much
I love you so much! You're videos are so informative yet straight to the point and don't bore anyone.
All time favourite, put it on 7:30am, return home 7pm, does not budge.Looks flawless!
I've loved this foundation now for over 10 years. Every time I go back to it bc I like to experiment with new products i always fall right back in love. Nothing compares to the lasting power of this foundation.
i started using this foundation a few months ago and I love it.
It is by far the best foundation i've ever used!
