Wearing makeup can make you feel more relaxed, happy, and confident when you meet people. In fact, makeup is said to stimulate the brain and change the way we feel, and it is also a good physical exercise for the upper limbs.💄💄💋💖💖💞💞
I agree, Allison! EL Double Wear is a chameleon. I can wear it full-strength, thin it with moisturizer or primer, dot it over my cheeks to improve the coverage of a tinted serum, mix it in with a more luminous foundation to increase its staying power...it's so reliable, and so versatile!
Two years after you made this video, I’m on the market for a new long-wearing foundation after MAC changed its formula. I’ve been considering Estée Lauder and Lancome but couldn’t make a decision. Your video was so unbiased and thorough. I truly enjoyed seeing and hearing about your experience. You’re great at creating and presenting content!
Double Wear for life lol I’ve worn it since I had acne-prone skin in high school until now, age 40 with fine lines and much dryer skin. I’ve tried a few others along the way, but It’s always served me well and I just love it!
Yay! My favorite won! When my skin is dry, I apply it over a very rich moisturizer and a "glowy" sunscreen. This way, it sets to a demi-matte that I find very flattering on my mid-50s skin. During summer (when I usually want a more natural and sheer look BUT need major staying power against sweat and humidity) I use a lighter moisturizer, a "drier" sunscreen, and thin the foundation with a drop or two of primer. Other times, I mix it with a "skin tint" with similar results. Now, if I'm going to an evening event and need flawless skin and coverage that lasts 10+ hours, I use it "as is", i.e. "full strength". First, a very thin layer all over with a paddle brush, followed by a thin layer over my cheeks, where I have hyperpigmentation, using a damp sponge. This is my #1 foundation because it's the one I can make work for any occasion.
I’m 57 with normal skin, living in a very humid climate and EL DW is my HG. I’ve tried so many other foundations and always come back to it. Nothing beats the longevity and if you prep your skin well and use a small amount it looks very natural and beautiful. I will never be without it. Thank you for another great video 👍❤️
Estée Lauder double wear is my baby! While I did enjoy the finish of Lancôme and how it looked on my skin at first, the longevity of it was disappointing. It did not last as long on my oily skin as long as este lauder and it kept breaking down on my skin after 6-8 hours of wear.
I didnt even get that long, i got 2-3 hrs before it broke up on my chin :( Am planning on trying to mix them together though as i love the look of both!
Love love estee lauder...been using it for years. If you want it to stay long, for some skin you need to prep your skin with the right moisturizer, sunscreen and primer. I have combination skin, I prep my skin long before I wear make up...sometimes 4 hour before and it works very well for me. If you use immediately after your skin care it might not last longh and it might separate. It totally depends on your skin. For some people this is not a problem.
I have oily/combo skin. Estée Lauder is the only foundation that lasts on me. I have tried soooooo many different foundations to try and go lighter than full coverage but honestly, nothing performs like my Estée Lauder. So I hope it doesn’t go anywhere any time soon!!!
I have mature, dry skin. The ELDW looked awful on me! I gave it to my best friend. It looks great on her; she loves it. B and I are ridiculously similar people, but our skin!? We're the same shade, but she's oily, I'm dry. Her skin looks much younger than 99% of women our age!The LTI is one of two foundations I have used the bottom out of. It's definitely one of my ride or die foundations. It stays on my skin and looks great all day. I didn't realize how low my bottle was and ran out unexpectedly. I'm saving up to buy a bottle.
Hi Stephanie I have to say I have never been disappointed with Estée Lauder. I have been wearing it for 50 + years and it has never let me down. I have tried soooo many foundations some good some fails but have always come back to Estée Lauder double wear its just that good. I do now with my mature skin use a hydrating primer only on my cheeks as that is where my dryness is and that works beautifully. Thanks for doing this video, I did like the Lancome however it didn't last as good on my face as EL, ❤️
I don't own either of these but I think I would be veering towards the Lancome because I have dry/mature skin. That said, I must own approx 55+ foundations, I can't buy anymore!!! I'd love to see more vids like this one. This was super interesting. Love you Stephanie, 💗💗💗💗💗
I own both also, love them both for the exact same reasons. I find the Lancome wears a lot longer with a great primer, the hourglass primer. I have also worn it with a more moisturizing primer like Pure. I used to always wear EDL but I find myself reaching for Lancombe simple because the shade match is perfect.
This is the video I never knew I needed until you posted it! I’ve loved ELDW for years, and have always been curious to try LTI, but never really knew if it was right for my lifestyle. Thank you Stephanie for this comparison. I now think it’s worth having both in my collection!
I’ve worn Double Wear for years and I love it. As an RN that has worked 18 hour shifts I sure appreciate it a LOT! Unfortunately I can’t wear the Lancome one as chemical sunscreens don’t agree with me. But I did order the DIor foundation that you recommended recently, and it’s a game changer! 🙌🏻
Lancôme is my everyday foundation for years. My skins normal . I work in special Ed classrooms with masks . Everyday masks. This with LM powder is transfer proof 100% . I’m in Cali .
Lo malo de esta base de double wear son Los ingredientes malos perjudiciales que tienen para la piel incluyendo una de ellas que es cancerígeno.. Que a la larga eso trae problemas a nuestra salud
Lancôme is for normal or dry skin Estee is matte and should be used for oily .. they both cover beautifully and they are made for two different skin types
ELDW is my go to foundation on busy work days as well as events. My skin is dry, but when combined with a good moisturizing cream (Cerave or Bobbi Brown face base) the foundation is flawless all day long. LTI breaks down on me at the 8 hour mark, but it’s a lovely foundation nonetheless. What I’ve come to realize is that you have to play with them a bit to get them to work to your liking.
Great reviews and I agree with you 💯. I am in my 50s. Normal to dehydrated skin. So for me, Lancome wins and is mask proof and last all day/night. I do own Estee lauder and only use a small amount and use a good moisturizer under it or it will look dry. Love both. They are my favorite foundations!
Great comparison! I’m 59 with combo skin, pretty oily tzone , and worn both of these. Nothing holds like ELDW! I think we’re constantly trying to find something to beat ELDW because it feels “old fashioned” in the sea of “ hipper” brands, but it’s the OG for a reason. I love mixing Dior Forever Matte with some Dior Backstage Face & Body, and it’s just about perfect. But nothing holds in heat and humidity like ELDW (i live in Florida). Hope you’re going to do a review on the new Lisa Eldridge; really want to see what you think of it!
I have been wearing ELDW for decades! It was $28 a bottle when I started wearing it! Ha! I absolutely love it! It is the first foundation I ever tried that did not oxidize on my skin. And it does last forever! Recently a You Tuber mentioned that L’Oreal’s Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear is a dupe for ELDW. I tried it and surprisingly found. I also love it! It does not quite stand up to the number of hours that ELDW does, but for shorter days and everyday wear here at home, it’s a great buy at $14.99! And that means a lot now that we’re retired. ELDW is still my go-to for longer days or special occasions. But it’s nice to have both in my stash! Thank you for a great video!
ELDW all the way! It’s just so easy and doesn’t need any fiddle faddling around with, doesn’t look patchy half way through the day, doesn’t rub off your nose and chin area, never need to worry about it during the day and if applied with a damp sponge it looks beautiful.🥰💜
I was 75 when I bought ELDW in a color that was recomended for me but was too light. I went back to Ulta to complain and ran into the EL rep who happened to be there that day. She looked at my face and asked who recommended this choice of product and color for me. It dried my skin and accented the lines. She agreed it was all wrong and suggested I change to EL Perfectionist. I was somewhat reluctant but took her up on the exchange. It was a great decision. I love the Perfectionist on very mature skin. Even though it may not have the durability of ELDW, it lasts through most occasions. Regretably, Perfectionist may be discontinued soon.
I find the Estée Lauder double wear to be ideal for me. I have pretty oily skin. I do apply it in accordance with your technique. I have no desire to try a different brand. If it isn’t broken .... but I did enjoy your comparison. Thank you.
Both of these foundations are in my every day rotation, along with the Estée Lauder futurist one too! I use the Teint idôle and futurist the most, but double wear is great for pictures or long days/nights! We are very close to being foundation twins, my Estée Lauder shade is 2N2 and Lancôme is 340, so I always check your shades and go one shade deeper and more neutral 😂
I have to mix my ELDW with Revlon Colorstay for Dry/normal and they work great together. Otherwise the Estée oxidized really white on me. Anyhoo, great video! ❤️
I have both of these and when we wearing masks if i was going out I wore the EL because I knew it was going to stay and not go all over my mask. Now that I am not wearing a mask I don’t wear it as often so now the Lancôme gets more use. I like them both. Thanks 😊
I needed this! Thank you!! And first one here🤣 my oily mature skin gives me Hard work, I wanted this comparison because I just bought Lancome to try, waiting for arrival, already have EL.
Hi Stephanie! Could you please review the Shiseido synchro skin radiant lifting foundation? I looked on your list and you have tried the other one from Shiseido but not this one. I always go to your channel for reviews because we seem to have the same skin type 💜
I think that foundations kinda fell through the cracks with beauty influencers because everyone reviewed the first one but few have mentioned the radiant lifting. It’s a shame too because its my HG. It’s a tad more dewey than Double Wear and lasts for hours.
La refresh es súper buena ..semi mate ..muy bonita . No se meten las líneas de expresión no marca poros de la piel súper lisa aguanta horas aguanta calores. Protege de los rayos ultravioletas de la luz azul también .. todos los ingredientes que llevan son súper saludables no tiene nada ingredientes malos para la piel
I have been using Estee Lauder Double wear foundation and Lancome Teint Idole foundation for many years. I am 58 with light combination skin. YSL recently had a buy one get one free on their All Hours Foundation which is a similar formula. I am now rotating all three.
I had both of these foundations, and I will repurchase neither of them. BUT, thank to Stephanie’s video I was able to finish Estée Lauder foundation (by using beauty sponge and working in sections, taking product from my hand). This video was soooo helpful! 🥰 ELDW definitely gives more coverage and it’s more matte in my opinion. Lancôme felt a bit heavy for me, still have more than half a bottle, but I don’t think I will finish it.
This was a great video comparing two great long wearing foundations. Thanks for thinking of this! I don't have either one and wanted to try one. I think I know which one I want now. 😊
Great vid! I love ELDW on my oily skin. Nothing beats it and you don’t need to use a lot for a lovely, natural looking finish. It mixes beautifully with other products too. I sometimes mix mine with Mac F&B and it’s lovely! It lasts all day on me and doesn’t break up or look cakey or heavy. If you have oily skin and struggle with foundations, try DW. Use a light hand, I use a damp sponge to apply too and just build up lightly where you need it. It’s a game changer. For me and my skin, it runs rings around teint Idole.
Love the lancome foundation I have a few including the teint idole perfect for my skin which is on the dryer skin type never ever tried Estee lauder as I heard it is more suited to oilier skin types and full coverage as name suggests, but recently purchased the pennys/ primark dupe for Estee lauder
Thank you so much for this review. I am more of a fan of Estée Lauder. Please please consider reviewing the new Lisa Eldridge foundation. I am so excited about the launch and want to try it.
We’re foundation twins!!! I do a lot of mixing of foundations. Summer I mix mac NC27 with some NC25. And I’m in between ELDW dawn and rattan. More rattan in summer. I’m so excited I found your channel!
Allie Glines once had a video on Dose of Colors. I tried it and I really like it - I know you are comparing EL and Lancome but I just wanted to mention it.
I didn't know I wanted this video until I read the title!!! I've always loved Lancôme Tent Idole, but I'm curious about Estée Lauder DW. I might give it a go. Thanks!!! ❤️
🥳🥳❤️🍀Because of your shades, I now know we are shade twins. You know how great that is!!! I’m so happy!!!! I’m going to burn up the internet and my credit card to build up my foundation collection. 🥳🤗❤️🥰🥳Thanks so much!!!!
Hi Stephanie I tried ELDW on my 49 year old very dry, rosacea and eczema prone skin - oh dear it gave me lines I didn't know I had (crypt keeper comes to mind), whereas the LTI is my favourite go to foundation. The LTI also has a far better shade match for me - 008/091. I use my skincare and spf every day, so it wasn't that my skin didn't have the moisture it needed. I have to confess I hadn't mixed oil etc into the ELDW, but truthfully for me buying a high end foundation should mean not having to mix it with other things. I don't mind shade adjusting or mixing affordable foundations too much, but a higher end foundation should work by itself. I get a medium coverage from one light layer of the LTI and truthfully that's the amount of coverage that suits me for a daytime look. I can build it up a bit for a more polished evening look. I cannot get a great shade match in ELDW - they don't do a light enough shade for me, but I am super pale/cool toned. I never need my makeup to last more than 10 hours tbh and rather than oil breakthrough (far too dry for that), my skin tries to suck every vestige of moisture from a foundation after a long day. The LTI survives mask wearing mostly (minimal transfer), so it became my absolute go to everyday foundation over the last year. My other really hydrating options transferred everywhere lol - all over the masks. This has been really great for me. In the Winter it does benefit from a hydrating primer underneath on my skin, but in hot/humid weather it's fine without. Best wishes.
God bless you for your foundation shade list because I am totally your foundation twin.. Give or take a bit sometimes.. Depending if I'm self tanning or not.
Thank you for this video. I have used Lancome for a few years along with Tarte. Lancôme looks worn off by end of day, Tarte looks cakey. I am going to try Este Lauder, can’t wait to see the results!
I have both, and I agree with your assessment. However, I get more coverage from Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless, than I do with ELDW. I have a lot of redness to cover, though. 🤷🏼♀️
Great video. I feel the same way you do about both. I live in SE TX and about the same climate so both work for me with my normal to oily skin. I also have mature skin so I'm please that they don't settle into fine lines or the deeper kind. LOL. You always give really good advice and love watching your channel.
I love bouth foundations. Lancome in Europe is very fragranced and some shades oxydize really bad ( like with 2 shades ), but after you find your shade is great. I have dry skin btw ! I don't set them !
I don’t wear either one of these foundations, but I can swear by Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation. It’s the best color match I’ve ever worn in a very long time now. The finish is so pretty, dewey, and looks natural. Also, the longevity of it unbelievable. This foundation is one of the very few that doesn’t break me out and I honestly don’t think I could live without!!
Estée Lauder DW all the way babe! I’ve tried almost all the brands Sephora has to offer. Nothing can beat ELDW. The pandemic mask wears just sealed the deal. When I wear other brands, the foundation rubs off in the inside of the mask and I’m left with an odd mask shape no foundation skin on the lower half of my face. Not so with ELDW. My bff.
Estee Lauder double Wear has been my holy Grail I wanted to love lancome but it oxidizes in color how can I get the correct color does anyone else find this happens?? Please help I love lancome nice very high-end products all around but the oxidation on the foundation is the killer for me
I know people are going to go crazy but I rather not use a pump with ELDW..I think it’s better without it. I do have to clean the bottle a little bit but that doesn’t bother me for some reason it just isn’t the same with the pump. But that’s just me. I have dry skin and I love that foundation. That’s my top number one. She has a great video for it. The most important thing is skin prep. If you get the skin prep right it’ll look beautiful and don’t use too much. I’m often startled at how good it looks after 12 hours, if it takes me that long to wash it off.
I used ELDW when I traveled alot for work. Now I stick to LTI and a few other lighter for mature and dry skin. I think both are great depending on needs
Hi Stephanie, I have the Lancome teint idole in the shade 140...or in my country its 11, the colour is a decent match but, it settles into my pores giving white dot appearance, I would love to know if I'm doing something wrong or if I have the wrong colour as I can only buy on line, due to our lock down here at the time I bought this, we have a no return policy here in Australia, I have tried with and without primers, adding moisturizers....I'm at a loss, help!
I literally just got home not long ago from Ulta and Sephora and straight talked to the girl at Ulta about these two and we compared them.. That said, I ended up getting Dior backstage lol 😂 ⬅️ this was bc of your recent video of top natural foundations. Love your channel ❤️ Happy thanksgiving!!🦃🍁
Hey Stephanie, are you going to do a review of Lisa Eldridge's new foundation? I trust your reviews above all others. I'd love to know if it's worth the price. Thanks for this video. I've had both of these foundations and both have pros and cons. You really helped me with Este Lauder application. Sectioning off the face was key! Thanks.
It's ELDW for me. I have been using bottles of ELDW and never look back, or right or left 😄 It suits my super oily skin in this humid tropical climate. Can you recommend any oil to mix it with for days where I want a little bit more glow?
I have spent hundreds on different foundations and I always come back to double wear. I love wearing it on it’s own and also mixing it with Estée Lauder night repair serum for more natural days. I have also tried the Lancôme and both times (a year apart) I’ve gotten horrible cystic acne along my jawline. I think it’s worth mentioning that Lancôme has a sunscreen that some people may be sensitive to. It is a beautiful foundation though. I feel like double wear is just the best of the best. Nothing keeps my other makeup in place as long. Thanks for the video!
Neither work for me now. I did wear Double Wear when I was younger and had normal skin without lines and wrinkles. Lancome doesn't give me enough coverage or last long enough. I've tried both several times thinking maybe I didn't have the right shade or wasn't applying them correctly. But nothing made either of them look better. (I never thought to add face oil or a serum to the Double Wear. Could be a game changer!)
Love the DW! This could be the most beautiful eyelook I’ve ever seen on you😍 Did you only use the by terry sticks or do you have something in the crease?
My ex boss told me that she recommend the Estée Lauder , I think it’s good for summer yet for winter it would be different . Skin type is different . Plus does it mark on mask ? I love the foundation comparison, thank you 🙏
I just switched from the Estee Lauder to Lancome and I didn't think that would happen. I switched because it has an SPF25 and some ingredients that are good for your skin such as hyaluronic acid. I think the Lancome shows fine lines less, but the Estee Lauder might be more durable. TFS
