- Q
I used 1N2 (ECRU) in the original formula - per the website it said I would use 1N2 in the new formula - I purchased that and it is different - it is darker / warmer - so wondering if you would suggest the 1N1 might be a better match...

Our updated technology enhances vibrancy, resulting in a more vivid, true-to-skin match. In the new formula, shade 1N2 Ecru is light with neutral rosy undertones.

Used the OG formula for Years
I've used the old original formula for years and this was my fav/never fail foundation. I was sad for the reformulation. I Ordered the new formula and am currently split on con's and pros.

New formula is the absolute worst
The new formula should have been made a whole new, separate foundation line because it is nothing like the old formula. It's watery, blends horribly, and has no coverage - building up to more coverage just makes it look like you got the cheapest and orangest fake tan possible then dunked your face i...

This new formula foundation is awful. I have been a customer for 18yrs. This new foundation is watery with an orange tint by the end of the day. I now have to look elsewhere for new foundation. Please bring the old foundation back.!!!
KEEP THE ORIGINAL FORMULA

I have been using the ORIGINAL double wear foundation for twenty years, it has been my holy grail foundation. PLEASE do NOT replace it with this. This new formula is not the same. It's thinner, greasier, not as flawless and doesn't last as long. PLEASE do not discontinue the original formula. Keep it as an option for those of us who had been relying on it for so long.
Why Change A Good Thing
Verified Reviewer

Been a EL foundation user for 20+ years and this new formula never seems to dry on the face, stays tacky in places all day and gives the feeling of a heavy makeup on the face. The old formula never felt tacky, always felt powdery for lack of a better word and never felt heavy. I wanted to love the new formula I really did, but sadly I'm now looking to other brands for a new foundation.
Bad product
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at

Unfortunately, this new product is terrible. I have been using this product for many years but now that the new one came out and I used it, the truth is that it is very very bad quality, it is super liquid, it is sticky and very shiny on the skin, nothing to do with the previous one. It would be a very good idea if they left the formula of the previous one, many of us would be very happy
Ughhhh terrible

This is nothing like the original. I've been wearing double wear for 22yrs. Because there is nothing like it out there. The original stayed in place, didn't transfer and covered beautifully. You could put anything underneath it and it would hold up all day. The new one I've tried for a week tweaking different things every day and still the result was the same. It would breakdown and.wear off my face throughout the day. My nose will get shiny. The coverage was awful. They say it's buildable, but I don't want to put multiple layers on my face to get to where it used to be with just one layer of the original. This is nothing like it. I'm so disappointed and now I'm trying to run around to find a different foundation from another company that even remotely resembles the original double wear. Should've kept the original and this as an addition, I am so sad about this and I don't even have a color that matches me exact anymore. Please bring back the original.
