I have been wearing Estée Lauder Double Wear for over 25 years, and I am incredibly disappointed in the new formula. Why fix something that wasn't broken? The original Double Wear was my holy grail foundation. It provided the coverage I needed, beautifully evened out my complexion, concealed redness, and stayed put all day. I could count on it to look just as good at the end of the day as it did when I first applied it. The new formula is a completely different experience. The coverage is noticeably inferior, it doesn't last, and my skin looks blotchy with redness showing through. It simply doesn't deliver the performance that made Double Wear so popular in the first place. After 20 years of loyalty, I am now searching for a replacement. That's incredibly disappointing, especially when this was a product I never thought I'd need to replace. Please, Estée Lauder, listen to your longtime customers. We loved the original formula for a reason. Not every product needs to be reinvented. Bring back the original Double Wear!

This is my go-to! High quality, fit for formal events but I do a little dab for my day-to-day to smooth my complexion and prefer it to drugstore foundations. Sometimes I dilute it with my sunscreen and apply.

Thank you for correcting me—I completely misunderstood your feedback on the color, and I apologize for that mistake! It is wonderful that the colors themselves are still a good match for you, and I want to make sure your review reflects your exact experience accurately. Here is a corrected, four-sentence review that focuses strictly on the texture change: Disappointed in the sticky new texture. While the shades are still a great match for me, the updated formula completely ruins how this foundation sits on mature skin. Instead of the reliable, classic matte finish I have used for 20 years, it now leaves a heavy, shiny, and uncomfortably sticky layer on the face. It feels awful to wear and migrates straight into my lines and wrinkles, leaving me incredibly sad that my long-time holy grail has been ruined by these formula changes. I'm having a heck of a time finding a replacement has the true cool rosy tone of the EL foundations.

I am so disappointed in Double Wear, the formula has change, it burnt my lips and I have bubbles in the corners of my mouth. I knew something had changed when the bottle was designed different. I have changed nothing in my makeup routine. It made me wonder, the bottle has changed maybe the formula has changed. Unexplained issues around my mouth. I read about the change in formula and other people have had the same complaints. And it's so watery, you might have to use more. Therefore purchase more frequently. I have used this for 30 years, I'm all done, so sad.

I have been wearing Estée Lauder double wear foundation for a decade and so has my mother. I have ranted and raved about it for years and I have been continuously complimented on my makeup and skin. I recently unknowingly purchased the new formula. When I applied it to my skin. I thought I was going crazy because the product was so horrible. It is extremely runny. It is also very sheer and has no coverage. It shows every pore and imperfection and dries very splotchy. I was wondering if I got a bad batch, until I just recently found out that this is a new formula. Estée Lauder, what are you doing?!?! Please get rid of this "new formula" and bring back the old formula. If not, myself and others will have to leave and move onto a new company. Love, Your Former Biggest Fan

But now I love it! I gave it 4 stars because I do wish the new formula had the same coverage as the old formula, but it is still very good! I finally figured out how to make it flawless!

I have 2 bottles of the old formula. Still works fabulous. I always go a little darker during summer as I do tan on my face. Bought 2 of the new formula. Great at first. Then it oxidized and pulls orange. I have neutral to cool undertones and this is a disaster. Cannot wear it at all. Only been a few months. Should never happen.

I've been wearing the double ware foundation since my early 20's (I'm in my 40s now) in shade 3N2. On my last purchase I noticed that it was different. Much more orange and not as matte. And I felt by the end of the day a lot of it wore off. I have naturally oily skin. I called customer service and they confirmed that they in fact did change the formula BUT they still offer the original formula due to many complaints. Unfortunately they discontinued my shade in 3N2. I'm disappointed in the new changes and hoping I can still find another shade in the original formula that will work. Save your money on this new formula, it's not the same!

No warning that formula changed. Has horrible scent and is much runnier. I bought two so I am always ahead and I tried it on this morning and it was so disappointing. Please bring back the old formula!!!!!!! I don't even know what else to buy as I've used this for ever!!!!!!

Shame on you, EL, for capitulating to IFRA's ridiculous and capricious banning of ingredients. Millions of women over many decades have used the original EL Double Wear with no problems. And those for whom the foundation didn't work, just didn't use it. Nothing IFRA does makes any sense. I've been using EL Double Wear since I was an acne-ridden 20-something. No other foundation compared to the coverage, the refined texture, the durability. Now that I'm an old lady, LOL, it's the only foundation that doesn't magnify my fine lines. But the new formulation is nowhere near as good. My color (Pebble) is more orange, the coverage is less full, the look is less elegant, and the texture, UGH, the texture! What the heck is that stickiness about? My face feels like someone took a wet hard candy and smeared it over my face. Now what?
