FAQs
How long does the Double Wear Longwear Matte Foundation SPF 10 last?
This foundation is designed for up to 36 hours of color-true wear. It is also sweat-, water-, heat-, and humidity-resistant.
Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?
Yes, it is formulated with an oil-control complex that balances skin and reduces oil production with continued use, providing a radiant matte finish.
Can I use this foundation if I have dry skin?
While it offers hydration for up to 72 hours, very dry skin types might benefit from thorough moisturizing and potentially mixing a hydrating serum with the foundation for added comfort.
What is the coverage level of this foundation?
It offers medium to full coverage that is buildable, allowing you to customize the level of coverage you desire.
Does this foundation contain SPF?
Yes, it contains SPF 10. However, for significant sun protection, it is recommended to use a separate broad-spectrum sunscreen.
How do I find my correct shade?
Estée Lauder offers 60 shades. It is recommended to get re-shade matched, as the formula has been updated. You can do this at a beauty counter or use online shade-finder tools.
Is the formula non-comedogenic?
Yes, this foundation is non-comedogenic, making it suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin types.
Do I need a pump to use this foundation?
A pump is not included but is available for purchase separately. Many users find a pump makes application easier and more controlled. You can also apply directly from the bottle.
Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or uneven upon application.
Ensure skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Allow moisturizer to set before applying foundation. Try using a damp makeup sponge for a smoother blend.
Foundation feels too heavy or cakey.
Apply a thinner layer of foundation. Ensure you are not over-applying or using too much product. Blend thoroughly outwards from the center of the face.
Shade does not match true-to-skin tone as expected.
As the formula has been updated, it's recommended to get re-shade matched at a counter or by using online shade-finder tools. Lighting conditions also affect shade perception.
Skin appears overly matte or dry after application.
Ensure adequate hydration during your skincare routine. Mix a drop of hydrating serum or facial oil with the foundation before application, or use a hydrating primer.
Product difficult to dispense without a pump.
Consider purchasing the reusable foundation pump designed for this product for easier and more controlled dispensing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Application:
Prepare Skin: Ensure your skin is clean, moisturized, and prepped for makeup application. Allow moisturizer to fully absorb.
Dispensing: For precise application, use a foundation pump (sold separately) or dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand. Some users prefer to apply directly from the bottle.
Application: Using a foundation brush, sponge, or fingertips, apply the foundation starting from the center of your face and blend outwards.
Building Coverage: Apply a second thin layer if needed to achieve medium-to-full coverage, focusing on areas that require more attention.
Setting (Optional): For extremely long wear or an intensely matte finish, a light dusting of powder can be applied, though often unnecessary due to the formula's staying power.
Compatibility:
Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin.
Skincare: Compatible with most standard skincare routines. Ensure your skincare is absorbed before foundation application.
Primer: Can be used with or without a primer. A mattifying primer can enhance oil control, while a hydrating primer can boost moisture for drier complexions.
Care:
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Cleaning: Ensure the bottle opening is clean after each use to prevent product buildup.
Removal: Use an effective oil-based cleanser or a dedicated makeup remover to thoroughly cleanse the skin and remove all traces of the foundation before sleep.
