This was my favorite foundation and i used it for so many years. I dont know why but the company changed a formula of it and its horrible. So sticky, heavy and the color feels darker. I wont be buying it again. So sad about it!

I purchased this specifically because the reformulated version is lighter & thinner and buildable. I don't like thick formulas nor do I want my foundation to do all the correction needed to eliminate discoloration, etc. I prefer a color corrector first and the foundation on top, with spot concealing if needed. The color match of this is spot on. Just wish their new long wear concealer had a stronger pink undertone and I'd be in heaven.

I had been using the original foundation for clear over a decade. The color match was perfect for my combo sensitive skin. It provided true lasting coverage through summer in FL and AZ and winters in the NE. I could switch up setting sprays or primers depending on humidity/time of year. This new formula is awful. I have tried applying it with different methods (brush, sponge, fingers), different primers, different setting sprays, one layer, multiple thin layers etc and I cannot get it to work for me. It feels like it never dries down even in my central a/c condo with a mini fan to help between products. It transfers much more due to this and also makes my skin texture look much worse. I have to give up. I am looking for other brands that won't be reformulating for the EU or will keep separate lines. The removal of the D5 and D6 silicones was due to environmental concerns (which are up for debate based on articles I have seen but I am not that deep into it) and not health or safety concerns. I understand it is less economical for Estée Lauder to produce both versions for US and EU but I would be willing to pay a bit of a premium to get the old version back.

I'm in love with this foundation because it truly lives up to its name. It literally lasts all day without smudging. It has a super pretty matte finish and it doesn't have a weird undertone. It's my go to foundation now when I need something that lasts. I do wish it had an actual pump because you have to pour it out but you can easily transfer it to a different bottle. I received this product for free from Estee Lauder for testing and review purposes.

I am not a user of old formula. I tried the new formula foundation, this is the first one that didn't cause breakout, itching or bumps on my skin. I use serum, layer it with estee lauder sunscreen gel, then apply the foundation with a brush. I loved how it evens out, stays all day. Mind you I am like a naive in makeup and I apply it without any issues. I don't even feel itmon my skin. Loved it!

After wearing the original Estée Lauder formula for years, I can't believe that I'm now deciding to part ways because this formula just doesn't do it for me. It's very thin. It's runny. It's not thick like the original was. I feel like I have to put on two or three layers for it to look the same and even then it does not. Like the other reviewer said it does not last long. I feel like it starts wearing off and my skin starts looking blotchy doesn't pair well with other moisturizers as well.

I am facing problem of make up foundation oxidizing, cakyapperance and dryinh up so early, notproper ly covering. Myski is oily so in hot weather, oil will make foundation worse. Thensome on e recommended me esteelauder double wear fohmdation, Ihave etried it, soit stay in place for whole day that at then end of party, I have to wipe it with makeup remover, butit is best foundation , Ihave ever tried, givingfull stars to it.

I am so disappointed to learn the original double wear is discontinued. I tried the new formula and found it no different in coverage but awful to remove. I couldn't even get it off my washcloth. I have used double wear over 40 years. Sad to say, I will be changing brands.

I loved the old formula and would recommend it to everyone. This new foundation is sticky and I can feel it all day long. Do not recommend.

I am extremely disappointed with the new Estée Lauder Double Wear formula. The original version was absolutely amazing! It provided beautiful coverage, felt comfortable and hydrating on my skin, and gave my face a smooth, flawless, natural finish. It was honestly one of the best foundations I had ever used. Unfortunately, the reformulated version is nothing like the original. The new formula feels extremely drying, sits on top of my skin like a thick, unnatural layer, and emphasizes every fine line and texture on my face. Even worse, once it dries, it starts pilling and literally rubs off in tiny, eraser-like flakes the moment I touch my face! I have tried applying it with different moisturizers, primers, and even on completely bare skin. Nothing makes a difference. The result is always the same. Why change something that was already so good? The original Double Wear was beautiful, reliable, and comfortable. This new version has completely lost everything that made me love it. Estée Lauder, PLEASE listen to your loyal customers and bring back the ORIGINAL Double Wear formula! We don't need 36-hour wear if the foundation can't even stay on our faces without flaking or looking cakey. Please bring back the foundation we loved. This reformulation is a huge disappointment.
