Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation has maintained its legendary status for decades by delivering unparalleled full coverage and 24-hour wear. This is the foundation makeup artists and those seeking flawless, long-lasting coverage swear by. The formula provides buildable full coverage that conceals everything from blemishes to hyperpigmentation to scarring. Once set, it truly stays in place—no transfer, no fading, no breakdown throughout the day or night. The matte finish is completely flat without any shine, creating a airbrushed, perfected appearance. The oil-free, lightweight formula won't clog pores despite its coverage. The extensive shade range includes 40+ options with various undertones. However, Double Wear is not for everyone. The matte finish can look flat and mask-like if not applied skillfully. The formula is quite drying and emphasizes texture on dry or mature skin—thorough prep with moisturizer and primer is essential. The pump packaging sometimes dispenses uneven amounts. The price point is luxury-tier. For those seeking full coverage that absolutely will not budge, Double Wear remains the gold standard.
