Before I have bought a pump, I have applied it on top of my hand, and it always ended being too much (as it is hard to dose). The bottle sucks: it’s messy and I keep loosing foundation when pouring. The foundation comes in a muted-glass rectangular bottle. Estee Lauder Double Wear 1W2 Sand.įigure 2. 1W1 will suit those who wear MUFE HD in #117.įigure 1. Here and then I find myself wishing I have picked 1W1 instead. 1W2 is similar to MAC NC20 in Prolongwear. The difference between these two shades is that 1W1 is yellow-toned, while 1W2 is orange, and on photographs it definatelly makes me look overly pale, despite in real life it matches me better (neck/face). I bought it in the shade 1W2 Sand, though, initially, I wanted to buy 1W1 Bone. This June I bought my first bottle of DW.

I wish I did, because it wasn’t longwearing as stated. I ended up buying tge Guerlain one that moment, despite not trying it out during a prolonged period. She applied it (Shade 02) and I was happy with the finish which was much softer, smoother and creamier compared to previously in-store-tested DW. She waved aside and recommended me Guerlain Parure Extreme instead. I desperately needed a longwearing foundation with medium coverage. Two years before I asked the SA to show me Double Wear (DW). They did improve the formulation, but the change wasn’t wholeheartedly accepted: some of you noticed the formulation got worse, and some of you, like me, haven’t noticed anything bad about the new.Įstee Lauder claims that this foundation delivers a flawless, 15-hour staying power, that it is natural-looking, lightweight, oil-free, buildable and that it leaves your makeup looking as fresh as when you first applied it. Double Wear was launched 1998 and since then it stayed with us. Is there someone who hasn’t heard of this all-time favorite long wearing foundation? Most of us were recommended to try it personally after asking a SA for recommendation for longwearing foundation.
