Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place Foundation
This is a 15-hour wear foundation that gives a sheer to medium coverage & has a natural finish. As this foundation is being promoted to control oils, I was a bit worried it would give a very matte or chalky finish but it doesn't. Instead, I found that the initial application gave a sort of dry look but though out the day, the foundation adapted & gave a really nice natural healthy skin appearance, probably helped by the heat of the skin & saturation of my oils into the foundation. Even though my oils did show through about 4 hours into the wear, I found that using blotting sheets to remove the surface oils left the foundation intact underneath which meant I carried on having perfect coverage through out the day!
The foundation stayed put all day without looking patchy or disappearing, and found that it didn't transfer much either! Apart from MACs face & body foundation, I haven't used another that totally didn't transfer onto clothes etc, but this double-wear foundation came in close with only slight transfer. Also having used this foundation in heat & humidity, I can say that it definitely holds up well in those conditions!
The only negative point I can see is that this foundation does oxidise slightly, not a lot, but is still worth mentioning especially for those with paler skin in which the oxidisation may be more noticeable. However, as with most base makeup, the extent of oxidisation will depend on your own skin type and can differ greatly even between those who have the same skin type! So as usual, especially if you buy in the UK where we cannot return any sort of cosmetic products, always ask for a weeks sample to try! This is also doubly important if you have sensitive skin and/or prone to breakouts!
I really should also point out it has SPF of 10 which isn't that great but good for photos on days out etc!
Overall, I personally really like this foundation due to its light-weight texture and longevity on my skin. This foundation hasn't broken me out and gives me a nice sheer to medium natural looking coverage, which I think will be great in the summer months!
The foundation comes in 6 shades, I wear shade Intensity 2.0 (I'm currently MAC NC25-28), & costs £28.50 for 30ml.
