Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Concealer - 5N

For concealing blemishes and imperfections, select a shade that perfectly matches your foundation. For brightening the under-eye area, choose a shade one level lighter than your foundation. Always test shades on your skin in natural light before purchasing.

Yes, absolutely! The Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Concealer can be worn on its own for targeted coverage, providing a natural look while still perfecting specific areas.

While it's not explicitly labeled 'waterproof,' the Double Wear line is renowned for its exceptional longevity and resistance to humidity and sweat. It is designed to stay in place even in challenging conditions.

Due to its long-wearing formula, it's recommended to use an oil-based makeup remover, a bi-phasic cleanser, or a dedicated long-wear makeup remover. Apply gently and let it sit for a few seconds to dissolve the product before wiping.

The Double Wear line is generally formulated to be very stable and resist oxidation, which can cause makeup to darken. However, individual skin chemistry can sometimes influence products, so it's always good to observe how it wears on your skin.

While many users with sensitive skin find it suitable, formulations can react differently for everyone. If you have sensitive skin, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it widely.

Start with a very small amount—just a dot or two. This concealer is highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way. You can always add more if needed, building up coverage gradually.

Reduce the amount of product used. Apply a very thin layer and blend thoroughly. Ensure your skin is adequately moisturized before application.

Apply a minimal amount of product in thin layers. Ensure the under-eye area is well-hydrated. Lightly set the concealer with a translucent powder using a soft brush immediately after blending.

Ensure your skin is prepped correctly (clean, moisturized, possibly primed). Set the concealer with a dedicated setting powder. Avoid excessive touching or rubbing of your face throughout the day.

Test shades in natural lighting before purchase. Consider blending two shades (one slightly lighter, one slightly darker) to create a custom match. For under-eye, a shade slightly lighter than your foundation can brighten; for blemishes, match your foundation exactly.

Increase skin hydration, particularly in the areas where you apply concealer. Use a richer eye cream or moisturizer. Apply less product and blend quickly before it sets.
