- Beauty reviewing is very thirsty work.
Hi, Amy here,
welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
I'm really excited, because today we're actually doing
a bit of a beauty experiment,
a bit of road testing, trial and review,
putting a product through its paces.
So, Hannah and I are actually going to be reviewing
and road testing these two foundations.
We've got Estée Lauder Double Wear,
which is the number one best selling foundation,
cult, infamous, famous, iconic foundation.
And then we've got Double Wear Sheer,
which is the brand's new kind of sheer version
of the iconic fave.
So this is Estée Lauder Double Wear stay-in-place makeup.
It's $60 for a 30 mil bottle.
So this one comes in 60 shades,
which is just incredible.
It's actually proven to last for 24-hours.
A lot of people wear Double Wear on their wedding day.
It photographs beautifully.
It has quite a thick texture
and it can be a little drying on dry skin types,
which is why they say
this is a winner for oily-normal combination skin types.
- I am, probably, Estée Lauder Double Wear's biggest fan.
I am obsessed with it.
I talk about it all the time,
is the best foundation I've ever used.
I'll wear it to anything,
like I'll sheer it out for a date.
I will wear it to an event.
I wore it to my sister's wedding,
it lasted all night.
It only needed a few powder of touch-ups
throughout the night.
I was on the dance floor, I was super sweaty.
So ever since then, I have literally been obsessed.
Stop saying literally, (laughs) literally.
So my skin type, I have oily skin,
so particularly around the T-zone, here and here.
This one is honestly amazing for oily skin.
It is like a medium-to-full coverage foundation.
It's got like, for me, a satin matte finish.
It also is flawless.
Like it just makes your skin absolutely flawless.
- Now let's talk about Double Wear Sheer.
Same price, $60, same size, 30 mils.
This one lasts for 12-hours,
whereas this one is your 24-hours.
So this is a lightweight liquid foundation.
It actually comes in 27 shades, currently.
If this product takes off in the same way,
there's a good chance
that they might then extend the shade range,
so fingers crossed.
For this one is not water-resistant,
but it is still sweat-proof, humidity-proof, life-proof.
- The reason I'm so excited
about the Double Wear Sheer long wear makeup
is because I don't always want to wear
a medium-to-full coverage foundation.
I feel like this is probably
a better everyday foundation for me.
And actually I would love to see them mixed together,
which I'm not going to do today,
but I would love to see them mixed together,
just to sheer this one out.
- As I mentioned before,
I have dry skin, prone to dehydration.
Usually I would use a sheer-to-medium coverage foundation,
but with a dewy finish.
I just need all the hydration I can get.
I do a hydrating serum.
It could literally be any hydrating serum,
today I've used Beauté Pacifique Hyaluronic Serum.
I've also done moisturiser, specifically this time,
the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré.
Sorry to any French citizens that are watching.
I also do a hydrating sunscreen,
so I use Ultra Violette Supreme Screen.
And I've also done a hydrating primer as well,
this is the Estée Lauder
Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer.
But again, just add some more hydration.
- I am gonna start with a gel moisturiser.
I am using the Dermalogica BioLumin-C Gel Moisturiser.
Lovin' this moisturiser,
it's good for oily skin because it's a gel.
Next I'm using the Make Up For Ever Shine Control Primer.
So this is probably my favourite primer for oily skin.
It really stops that shine coming through these areas,
just kind of like blocks my...
I don't know what it does.
- I'm going to apply at the original Double Wear
on the left side of my face
because of a few chinples, so chin pimples.
So I'm gonna go with the more full coverage.
Something that is probably not that convenient
about the original Double Wear
is that it doesn't come with a pump.
So it comes like this.
You can buy the pump separately.
So I'm just gonna start by putting, whoa, a little bit.
I'm going to apply this
with a flat stippling foundation brush.
I'm also using the shade 1C1.
I'm just pressing that in.
First impressions,
not as thick and hard to work with as what I was expecting,
I can still see my freckles coming through, which is a plus.
I wouldn't be me if I didn't have my freckles showing.
So would be really interesting to see
how it wears throughout the day.
- So I'm gonna start with my Double Wear,
I'm gonna do my right side of my face with that.
I'm using the Spectrum A00 brush.
This is weird.
And then I can (gasps)
(makeup clattering on floor)
blend that out.
No I didn't, oh.
(makeup clattering on floor)
I'm a mess.
So that is the right side of my face has been done.
- Now for the other side with Double Wear Sheer.
One thing that I love straightaway about this foundation
is the squeezy bottle
just makes it a bit easier to distribute the right amount.
You can also apply this with a brush, fingers,
a beauty blender, like a makeup sponge.
It's kind of rare to have a sheerer foundation
with a natural kind of matte finish.
I actually don't see too much of a difference, to be honest,
in terms of...
I think the finishes are quite similar.
This side certainly looks a little bit bouncier.
But yeah, not as sheer as I was expecting.
- I've never used this sheer foundation before,
I'm so excited.
Yeah, as you can see, that is a lot sheerer.
Woof, that is really, really nice.
So you can really see, this is very full coverage.
And this one is much lighter coverage.
It's got a really beautiful finish
and it's definitely buildable.
I'm just gonna do my eyebrows, put some powder on,
and then we'll see how it goes for the rest of the day.
- I'm just sitting here at my desk.
Been about three hours on.
If you come back a little bit,
I feel like you get
a really fresh, beautiful, airbrushed finish,
which is why this foundation is so good.
Especially this side,
the original Double Wear is so good for events
and photography and that kind of stuff.
Then when you come a little bit closer,
I'm finding it a little bit drying on my dry skin
and that it's kind of accentuating some texture
on the side here.
Maybe it's looking a little fresher on the sheerer side.
This is with no powder as well.
A little bit of creasing here, which is kind of unavoidable.
Not as much creasing on this side.
So far though, I don't think you could tell
that I'm wearing two different foundations, to be honest.
I'm very gonna be intrigued to see what Hannah thinks.
- That is the Estée Lauder Double Wear after a few hours,
that is the Estée Lauder Double Wear Sheer
on the other side.
As you can see, this one is much, much more full coverage,
but yeah, no oil.
I knew this was good with oil control
and I feel like this one is also pretty good.
Okay, I'll be back in another few hours.
- Okay, Maddie wants me to test the foundation exercising.,
I'm gonna run.
I'm running.
(footsteps thudding)
Ah, stuff it (laughs).
We've got the Double Wear original, Double Wear Sheer.
It's actually held up pretty good despite wearing a mask.
As you can see here, literally no transfer.
I'm still struggling to tell
what the actual difference between these two are.
I do feel that this is looking a bit textured,
which isn't a bad thing,
it's just not quite the best thing for my skin type.
- All right, so I have just finished my fairly long walk
and it's quite sunny and a nice day.
Just remember that I have no other makeup on.
So I'm actually gonna do like a full face of makeup
with the Sheer so that you can actually see
what it looks like with like proper contouring
and concealer and all of that.
So I feel like I haven't done any touch-ups,
no powder, no nothing.
I've literally just left it.
And as you can say, yeah,
I think the oil control is always really good
with these foundations, with Double Wear,
it's just like great for oily skin.
The right side is the Double Wear,
and that is the Sheer.
I'm really, really impressed with how it has lasted.
I think this is like a perfect everyday foundation.
I don't wear the Double Wear...
Like if I'm going to work,
I'm not doing a full face of Double Wear,
so I think this is such a good alternative.
I want to be really honest
and be like, oh, but like, here are the minuses.
But I just love Double Wear, like I really love it.
- I've been wearing these different foundations
for eight hours.
So a reminder that this side was the original Double Wear
and this side is Double Wear Sheer.
As you can see, the coverage is still there,
with a little bit of creasing going on,
but overall the coverage is still really good.
And then if we see on the other side,
now that I've been wearing it for a little while,
I can now say the difference in coverage
between this side and this side.
Woo.
So I guess to summarise, the difference, you know,
which one's better for me, the finish is so similar,
obviously Double Wear Sheer is lighter in texture
when you're applying it,
but both original Double Wear and Double Wear Sheer
feel just as weightless on the skin.
And really the only difference to me is the coverage.
So probably Double Wear Sheer will be my go-to, you know,
all-day, special event, going out foundation.
I just don't really want too much coverage.
But I'm very impressed that they were able to get
the long-wearing natural matte finish magic,
that people who love
the original Double Wear foundation for,
into a sheerer formula.
So thanks very much Estée Lauder.
That's it from us.
