Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup For Face & Body SPF 15

I've never really intend to use this foundation as a foundation but a concealer, I love it as a concealer in the old formula and use up quite a few tubes years ago. I happily went to a Estee Lauder counter to pick up their Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup For Face & Body SPF 15, then they told me that they are discontinuing this foundation in Singapore and they are left with just limited shades.

I admit I did panic, I was wondering why the hell would they just bring a product not long ago and so fast they're discontinuing it?? No market for the beauty consumers here I guess?! I'm still pretty upset about it because I love this product to death and I still think its the best out there.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup For Face & Body SPF 15 (#11 Very Light) (SGD $58) is a very full coverage foundation that can be use for face or body, but I never use it as a foundation but a concealer. It can be a bit drying and does cake up and look cakey if you put on too much, so a little goes a very long way because it has a extremely high coverage and does cover absolutely everything. It does oxidized a shade darker on my skin thats why I got such a light shade but anyway the shades here in Singapore are very much limited too. I must work, blend and pat this onto my under eyes or blemishes very fast because it will dry up fast.

A lot of people thinks it looks very unnatural but I don't think so, as long as you use just the tiniest little bit for concealing or mix a tiny little bit with a dewy foundation or moisturizer you will have the best looking flawless face.

I believe you can tell how much I love this product and I definitely recommend it, there is no words to express my love for it. As long as you use it with the right way/technique it will look right! Thats what I believe and just make it work. 

What do you think? Try it yet? Love or hate it? Do tell me about it!

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

First off I never tried the old formulation of Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation therefore I cannot comment on it. Its kind of weird that I never try their double wear foundation. I have been a life-long customer and was never disappointed with any of their products, I would always pass it up every time I went by.

I have been hunting for a matt foundation that can hold up well with my extremely oily T-zone and combat the very humid/hot Singapore environment, I sweat buckets whenever I am not in an air-conditioned place/room or without a fan blowing. Finally I caved and bought it after many reviews on U Tube.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup: 1W1BONE 17 (SGD $58)  has a remarkable staying power with SPF 10 and will not transfer/smudge on clothes, not sure about the 15 hours claim but it lasted around 8-9 hours on me with my makeup base and setting spray. I just need to blot my T-zone once during the mid-day. Usually my face would look pretty oily and worn off after I reach home, I was very surprise that it held up pretty darn good. It doesn't look cakey at all. For a flawless full coverage I would just need 1 pump for my entire face with my beauty blender. Most foundations will oxidize on me but not with this one.

I have been loving this foundation,  it has already surpass my Relvon Colorstay Liquid Foundation and has become my 'holy grail' matte foundation.
