I don't wear foundation anymore, but when I received the above sample card for Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation in my latest ULTA order I couldn't wait to swatch them out for you all. Estée Lauder claims that this foundation is long wearing, transfer resistant, and waterproof with a matte finish. One thing that I really like about Estée Lauder's offering right off the bat is that they have about forty-four shades of this foundation to choose from. What a range!

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation Water Test - Rinsed Under Hot Water

The Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation is truly full coverage and I was really impressed with it overall. To begin with, this foundation really stays put! I wanted to test the color transfer on a white t-shirt; so I placed a shirt over the swatches and rubbed it in to see if I could get a transfer. To my surprise, there was no residue remaining! I even wiped the cloth across my arm to see what would happen, and still no transfer!

Then I went to the kitchen sink and sprayed the swatches with hot water for about a minute to see if I could get them to budge. Still, NOTHING. This seems very promising to those with oily skin as the matte formula may be able to keep that oil at bay. I do want to note that the formula felt a bit dry on my arm after a while, so I do not think it would be very comfortable to wear for those whose skin leans dry.

There are a few caveats though. The Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation formula dries pretty quickly so you do have to work fast when applying. In addition to this, I noticed that the coverage on the darker shades (7W1 Deep Spice and 8N1 Espresso, specifically) seemed to apply thinner than it's lighter counterparts. With that said, I still believe that this is a great foundation overall.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I have to say that the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation is a real work-horse, and it accomplishes all that it claims to do: It's long-wearing, transfer resistant, and waterproof. At $52 per ounce, I still don't believe that it will break the bank as a little really goes a long way. If you're someone like me who only wears makeup for special occasions, this foundation might be the one to have in your makeup arsenal (but, only if you have oily / combo-oily skin).

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation has about forty-two shades to choose from. While none of the shades above were really a great match for my NC37 skin tone, I do think that there might be a shade available out there for many of us.

This blog was started to help other fellow NC37s on their quest to finding the perfect BB cushion. Being a big fan of K-Beauty, it is very difficult to find cushions darker than shade 23. It can be quite the gamble ordering makeup from overseas without an inkling of what that may look like, or even if it is beneficial for certain skin types. I am willing to buy these products, swatch, and test them in order to help others make an informed decision.
