Estée Lauder double wear

[eggandspoonrace]

Has anyone used the double wear powder? Is it worth the money?
And anyone used the new double wear light? Any different? Any good?
Thank you!

Im not mad on the double wear light tbh i don't think it has same staying power. Would like to try powder sometime though

I use it, and IMO yes it is. The colour range is terrific, and it gives great medium-to-full coverage. You have to work quite fast with it, and make sure your face is properly moisturised, but once it's on, it lasts all day. I use a damp sponge blender, or dot it all over my face and rub it in hard, Charlotte Tilbury-style (watch her videos on YouTube to see how she slaps around the models when she's applying foundation).

I use the Dior primer underneath (because I'm older and my pores are starting to show), Collection concealer on blemishes, and Chanel translucent loose power over the top to set. You can still see some of my freckles, but it definitely evens things out. I get lots of compliments on how good my skin looks.

I tried Double Wear Light, and it's nice, but too sheer for me.

OMG facepalms You were talking about the powder. Yes, I have tried that too but it's not worth the money, IMHO. It's nice on the cheeks, but it settles into the wrinkles around my eyes, and collects around my nose, so I have to keep an eye on it throughout the day. I ended up giving mine away.
