What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise this foundation for its reliability: it delivers full coverage that lasts all day without breaking down, oxidizing, or looking cakey, and handles hyperpigmentation and heat well. The shade range and undertone options work especially well for deeper skin tones. The finish leans matte and satin rather than dewy, so those wanting something luminous may want to look elsewhere. One thing to know: a few people have found the formula drying with regular use, so those with dry or sensitive skin may want to test it first or use it a few times a week rather than daily.

"I actually really love this formula. It's been something that I've more recently incorporated back into my routine."
Approved
"This foundation has a solid shade range for deeper skin with good undertone options. The coverage is full and it truly lasts all day without breaking down or oxidizing. It handles hyperpigmentation really well and doesn't budge through heat or humidity. The formula is buildable without getting cakey. It does have a more matte finish, so if you want something ultra dewy, this isn't it. But for long lasting, reliable coverage, this delivers."

"It's definitely an amazing foundation. It really is incredibly longwearing, it's full coverage, it looks flawless. I recommend it to people. When somebody tells me they don't like the skin tints, they don't like all these new things and they just want a foundation, I'm like you need Double Wear. It takes all the boxes of what a person looking for a good foundation would need. If they're looking for full coverage that's going to last all day, give you full coverage, not going to look cakey, going to look like a skin finish, and it has lots of shade range. It's not going to be overly luminizing, not going to be overly matte, it's a satin finish. It's a good classic foundation."
Approved
"A couple that do actually seem to be okay is one is the Estée Lauder Double Wear and the other one is The Ordinary, both of them are non-comedogenic and contain no fragrance."
