PERFECT Summer Foundation
This is my one and only foundation for the summer season. It has the *wear* of the original Double Wear foundation, standing up to sweat and humidity like no other. If this foundation came out today I think it would probably be touted as a "skin tint" instead of a foundation. As the name suggest, th...

Not a DW Light Replacement, upset !!!!!
Estee Lauder should have released the Sheer as an additional foundation to the DW family Not a replacement for the classic DW light soft matte hydra makeup. This new Sheer formula foundation doesn't work to be long wearing or provide any coverage at all and I don't like it. I wouldn't be as upset ab...

Formula and bottle are lower quality now!
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at
I have been purchasing Double Wear for years now. So, I was dismayed at seeing a cheap plastic bottle arrive. Also, the formula must have been changed because it is runny compared to previous orders. Drug store foundations are thicker, cover better, and packaged in better quality. It is so disappointing that Estee Lauder has gone cheap!
Terrible Foundation
I bought this from Ulta and was so excited to try it. What a disappointment! It was so runny and watery. It didn't really even do anything for my complexion. I've used Double Wear Stay in Place for a long time, and I wanted something lighter for Summer. But this stuff should not even be called a foundation. It's not a skin tint either. For the price point of over $50.00 it was a complete waste of money.
BUY IT
I absolutely love the look & feel of this product. Great for everyday natural & i can build up for more coverage. I set it with the BareMinerals Originial Loose veil setting powder in Translucent. And it lasted the full 12HRs!!!!
My shade is gone :(
This was my favorite foundation for a while now but my shade has dissappeared…really dissappointed. Why is 2N1 just gone?
Just what I was looking for!
I've tried three of four BB creams, sheer foundations, etc. Two of which broke me out in hives and one that was just plain awful. I came across this, and figured I'd try it since I like the original Double Wear foundation. I love this! It's lightweight, evens my skin tone, has SPF in it, and has decent coverage. Plus, it does not break me out! Will definitely purchase this again.
