It features advanced skincare benefits that improve skin's oil production and moisture levels with continued use.

FAQs

Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?

Yes, the Double Wear Longwear Matte Foundation SPF 10 is excellent for oily skin. It features 36-hour oil control and the Double Balancing Complex helps to reduce oil production with continued use, while also providing hydration.

How much coverage does this foundation offer?

It offers medium to full buildable coverage. You can apply a thin layer for a natural look or build it up for more complete coverage of imperfections.

Can I use this foundation if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, this foundation is safe for sensitive skin and is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores.

What is the finish of this foundation?

It provides a dimensional, full-of-life matte finish that is not flat. It helps to unify skintone and cover imperfections.

How long does the color stay true?

The foundation offers 36 hours of color-true wear. It is designed to be sweat-, heat-, and humidity-resistant, and won't fade, pore, cake, or streak.

Do I need to use a separate sunscreen?

This foundation contains SPF 10, which offers minimal sun protection. For adequate protection against sun damage, it is recommended to apply a separate broad-spectrum sunscreen before your foundation.

What are the key skincare ingredients?

Key ingredients include Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, and Niacinamide and Brown Algae Extract (part of the Double Balancing Complex) to help reduce oil production with continued use.

How should I remove this long-wearing foundation?

Due to its long-wearing properties, it's best to use an oil-based cleanser or a dedicated makeup remover to effectively break down and cleanse the skin thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears too dry or cakey

Ensure your skin is well-prepped with moisturizer. For very dry skin, consider applying a hydrating primer or mixing a drop of facial oil into the foundation before application. For a less matte finish, try applying with a damp sponge.

Shade match seems off

As the formula has been updated, it's recommended to get re-shade matched at a retailer. Lighting and undertones can affect the perception of shade, so testing in natural light is ideal.

Difficulty in blending

Ensure the foundation is applied to well-hydrated skin. Work in small sections and blend immediately. Using a damp makeup sponge can often help achieve a smoother, more seamless blend.

Foundation transfers onto clothing

Allow the foundation to set fully after application. Using a setting powder and a setting spray can further enhance its transfer-proof qualities.

Product hard to dispense without a pump

Shake the bottle vigorously before use. Alternatively, invest in the Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation pump for easier and more controlled dispensing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the formula is properly mixed. Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand or a clean palette. For more controlled application, consider using the Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation pump, which can be purchased separately.

Application:

  1. Apply to clean, moisturized skin.
  2. Use fingertips, a sponge, or a foundation brush.
  3. Start blending from the center of your face and work outwards.
  4. Build coverage as needed by adding additional thin layers.

Compatibility:

This foundation is formulated for all skintypes, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it is unlikely to clog pores. It can be used with most primers and setting sprays, though testing a new combination on a small area is always recommended.

Care:

To maintain the integrity of the formula, store the bottle upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

Removal:

Use a good quality oil-based cleanser or a dedicated makeup remover to effectively break down and remove the long-wearing formula at the end of the day.
