Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup SPF 30

Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup foundation retails for $42 USD ($48 CAD).

Here's a demo and review of Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (Honey Bronze 4W1). I also tested it out for 8.5 hours. I have combination/oily skin and for shade reference I'm in NC40-NC42 in MAC.

Review

Finish: Satin
Coverage: Light to Medium Coverage

Left: With foundation
Right: Without foundation

Wear time: I tested it out for 8.5 hours. I have oily t-zone and it gets oily throughout the day but it wasn't as bad as other foundations. It did slightly fade away though.

Application: I decided to apply it with findgertips and Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Primer on one side and Sigma 3DHD Kabuki Brush on the other side. I preferred the side of just applying with fingertips but I do like to blend it out with beautyblender after.

Shades

There are currently 12 shades available at Sephora but they will be expanding their range. The shades are the same for both foundations. However, in Stay-in-Place, I have the shade Cashew 3W2 (medium to golden warm beige) and in Nude Water Fresh Foundation, I got the shade Honey Bronze 4W1 (warm, golden undertones). If you're not sure what shade to get, check out my blog post where I listed MAC shades and videos by other YouTubers wearing all the shades.
