Review of Estee Lauder Double Sheer Foundation
Estee Lauder Double Wear Sheer Foundation
What is the texture like?
I really like the light, liquidy texture of this foundation. It spreads over the skin and blends so easily and delivers a really natural skin finish.
What Skin Type is it good for?
This formula suits my combination skin really well and I find it pretty balancing. It’s good for controlling oil in the shiny areas and it’s nice and hydrating on the drier skin.
What is the coverage like?
It has a light and sheer but buildable coverage. It gives the complexion a nice even look. You can still see skin through it, but it softens the look of pigmentation, pores and lines in one layer.
You can gently build it up in areas you want a bit more coverage in some areas without it looking cakey or heavy.
What is the finish like?
It has a soft matte finish that still has a bit of glow. It isn’t flat because you can still see skin and it allows the natural radiance to come through.
Is it long lasting?
I find this formula lasts really well and still looks pretty good in the evening before I take my makeup off. It is 12 hour wear as opposed to the original Double Wear formula which is 24 hour wear.
What is the difference between Double Wear Sheer and Double Wear Light?
The new Sheer formula actually replaces the Double Wear Light formula. It’s oil-free and lightweight and the suggestion is that you can take your same shade in the new formula.
If you want a lot more coverage and something that will stay put all night, the original Double Wear* could be the one for you.
Where to buy it
