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, natural-looking matte finish that performs in all conditions. Its key benefit is delivering up to 36 hours of color-true wear with both oil control and hydration. A potential caveat is that its matte finish may require adjustment for very dry skin types. It offers buildable, breathable coverage, balances skin with immediate hydration and oil control, and includes skincare benefits for improved skin health with continued use, making it suitable for all skin types.

Troubleshooting
Foundation appears cakey or heavy
Ensure skin is well-moisturized before application. Use a smaller amount of product and blend thoroughly. Consider using a damp blending sponge for a lighter finish.
Product is difficult to blend
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply to smaller sections of the face at a time and blend immediately. Ensure your skin is properly prepped and hydrated.
Shade does not match perfectly
Try mixing the current shade with a slightly lighter or darker shade to achieve a custom match. For future purchases, test shades in-store or use online shade-finder tools.
Matte finish looks too dry
Apply a hydrating primer before foundation. Mix a drop of liquid highlighter into the foundation before application for a subtle glow, or apply a hydrating setting spray.
