I tried the new Double Wear formula some months ago and I cannot give it a good review mainly because it is very difficult to remove. I used my usual makeup remover and I found that it barely came off on the cloth. I had to use an exfoliator twice to completely remove all the residue. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but for me it means that I cannot use this foundation.

The old formula I loved it. It was the best. The skin was perfect. The shade was good. Then the new formula is sticky. It doesn't blend well the shade it's different and it gets oily.

I was finally forced to try the new formula, reluctantly. I expected to hate it as much as the many commenters here and elsewhere seem to hate it. I can truly say I am surprised to like this new formula, it's even better than the old. I did not imagine that it could be improved upon but it has been. It goes on smoother, the finish is beautiful and natural looking, any stickiness must be mitigated by my finishing powder since I have not noticed any sticky or tacky texture. I did need to change my color so for those that report orange-y or changing color, you may just need to experiment with a new shade. It wears all day with no touch-ups and the coverage is whatever you need it to be depending on how many THIN layers you put on after adequate drying time. I expect it will not clog my pump as readily as the old formula did. As for oil control, nothing in the world is going to help my oil-slick of a face! I have hereditary oiliness (blessing and curse, both) and will always need to blot. Judging by the amount of foundation on my remover-soaked cotton pad during my evening cleanse, I would say little to no makeup is lost during the day to transfer, sliding off, repeated oil blotting, or any other cause. This new formula works for me and I am still a HUGE fan of DW.

This formula isn't what I expected. Bring back the old formula!!!

Awful new formulation. I have been using Double Wear foundation for a number of years and it really was the BEST foundation. This new formulation is AWFUL. I am so disappointed that as a company you have changed the BEST foundation to the WORST foundation. I now have to find a new foundation when I had something that was perfect. Do not buy!

I am 62 and this foundation is fantastic. It is not sticky and does not cake on. I have oily acne mature skin and this covers everything on my face with 1 pump. I like this because it is not matte and does not show wrinkles. Love the new foundation.

First you changed the Mattifier primer and now you've changed the formula for Double Wear. It no longer leaves a matte finish but rather leaves my skin oilier and that's hard to do considering how oily my skin is. It does not provide good coverage and is much yellow/orange long after it dries. But wait, it never dries. It stays slick and oily. I'm off to find an oil-free, mattifying makeup from another company. So disappointed in Estee Lauder!

I have been a customer of Double Wear for over 15 years now. This new formula is not a simple 'reimaging' of the old double wear - it is beyond disappointing. The old double wear was thicker, would give you a nice matte finish that didn't cake and lasted ALL day. It had fantastic coverage and dried a little slower to allow you proper time to apply and blend. This is important if you have scars from acne to hide. This new formula (which is a whole new foundation by the way that will never live up to the old double wear) - is runny, thin and dries quickly while you are applying. This means you have to work is fast small areas. When you try to 'build coverage' with another layer is looks cakey and uneven. It never truly dries. I miss the old smooth matte feel of the double wear. This new formula stays tacky/sticky and feels so odd. It is cakey looking in the crease on the side of my nose and does not blend well to hide my existing facial scarring. I am now left trialing other brands before my old bottle runs out so I can switch to a different company. I cannot believe they would even consider this move. Why not keep both options for those of us who truly love the original double wear. Save your money and try something else.

I have been wearing double wear for years and love it, but I absolutely HATE the new formula. It oxidizes so badly that I had to return it. So disappointing. Please bring back the old one or make them both available for purchase.

Yuck!! This formula of double wear Matte foundation is HORRIBLE!!! do NOT waste your money!! Doesn't provide even coverage and your face feels tackey all day! I LOVE the original formula of double wear! Listen to your customer base Estee Lauder and KEEP the original formula
