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.

Troubleshooting
Foundation appears too dry or cakey.
Ensure skin is well-hydrated before application. Use a hydrating primer and apply sparingly, building coverage only where needed. Ensure the product is properly blended.
Shade does not match skin tone well.
Consult the shade range carefully or test shades in natural light. Consider mixing two shades to achieve a perfect match. Travel sizes are ideal for trying out different options.
Product seems to separate or not blend smoothly.
Shake the bottle well before each use. Ensure your skincare routine is compatible with the foundation and allow products to set before application.
Matte finish looks flat.
Apply strategically, focusing coverage on areas that need it most. Use a liquid or cream highlighter on the high points of the face (cheekbones, brow bone) to add dimension.
