This buildable, breathable longwear foundation is made for more, delivering up to 36 hours of colour‑true wear while balancing skin with oil control and hydration. Lightweight and silky on application, the non‑drying formula offers medium‑to‑full buildable coverage with a dimensional matte finish that looks natural, never flat and feels comfortable on the skin throughout the day. Reimagined for today, the new Double Wear is everything you love about the original, now enhanced with modern skincare benefits and refined pigments for an even more true‑to‑skin finish. Designed to perform in all conditions, the foundation is weather‑, sweat‑, heat‑ and humidity‑resistant, as well as transfer‑proof and waterproof, helping makeup stay flawless from morning through night. The formula works to balance skin with immediate hydration alongside 36‑hour oil control. With continued use, it helps reduce excess oil while maintaining moisture levels for up to 72 hours, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and blemish‑prone skin. Non‑comedogenic and non‑drying, it helps to unify uneven skin tone, cover imperfections and visibly minimise the appearance of pores without caking, streaking, fading or settling into fine lines. Infused with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and brown algae, the foundation supports skin hydration throughout the day, while Estée Lauder’s Double Balancing Complex with AlgaNiacin™ works to visibly clarify and mattify the complexion. Available in a travel‑sized bottle, it’s ideal for on‑the‑go touch‑ups or for discovering your perfect shade from a wide, true‑to‑skin shade range designed to match every tone.
This travel-sized foundation is for individuals seeking a long-wearing, comfortable matte finish that adapts to various conditions. Its key benefit is providing up to 36 hours of color-true wear with oil control and hydration. A caveat is that it's a travel size, ideal for on-the-go or testing. The formula offers buildable, breathable coverage, balancing oil control with skin hydration, and is resistant to weather, sweat, heat, and humidity, ensuring a flawless look without caking or settling.

Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or streaky upon application.
Ensure skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Shake the foundation well before use. Try applying with a damp sponge for a smoother blend, or use a brush designed for liquid foundation.
Matte finish looks too flat or dry.
Apply a hydrating primer before the foundation. For drier skin types, consider applying a luminous primer underneath or mixing a drop of hydrating serum into the foundation. Ensure skin is well-hydrated.
Product does not seem to last the full day as expected.
Confirm the skin is clean and dry before application. Ensure adequate oil control measures are in place if needed. Reapply a thin layer if touch-ups are necessary, focusing on areas that fade.
Shade appears slightly different on the skin than in the bottle.
Allow the foundation to set for a few minutes after application, as the color can subtly change. Test shades on your jawline in natural light to find the best match.
