Double Wear Light

May 15th, 2008 by thedailyobsession

I don’t normally wear foundation, but my skin has been acting a little crazy with all the product testing I’ve been doing lately and I desperately needed something with a bit more coverage. So, I decided to give Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Light a whirl.

Before I begin, let’s acknowledge that foundation is not an easy product to pick out; you have to think about lasting power, color, hydration, etc. But Double Wear Light definitely helped me get a long-lasting natural look that I was aiming for.

Estee Lauder claims that this oil-free liquid foundation will “glide on fast, comfortably and evenly for a naturally-sheer, flawless finish that lasts all day - up to 15 hours without fading or transferring.” Guess what? It actually delivers, which is pretty amazing. A small squeeze onto a makeup sponge and applied it all over my face. Though it claims to be sheer, don’t let that fool you into believing that it won’t cover up any flaws. It absolutely will, because my irritated areas were masked easily. It also gave me even color, was super light and didn’t leave me oily (nor did it make me break out). The best part was that even though I apply it at 8am, it totally lasted til 10pm when I took my makeup off. I couldn’t believe that it didn’t budge all day.

Pick up a couple of tubes at Macys.com for $32.50. BONUS: Until May 16, they’re also offering free shipping and a free gift with a $65+ purchase.
