Estée Lauder Double Wear has changed formula 😭

[scoobydeedoo]

Was just about to order replacement bottles last night when "get a free beauty blender when you purchase the new Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation" caught my eye.

Sure enough, new bottle, new formula. After some googling, it seems the second ingredient in the foundation has now been banned from sale in Europe. I've just been to the Estee Lauder counter to get some samples of the new formula (I mix 2 different colours) so we'll see how the new formula holds up on my oily skin.

Anyone found anything equal to or better that Double Wear for oily skin? I like a full coverage look, and need something that won't disappear on my oily nose like cheaper foundations do! I'm not hopeful about this new formula, the sales assistant told me if I use a brush and stipple it on I will get better coverage, but if I need more I can "set it" with their Double Wear Veil powder (for £41!) Apparently the ingredients that has been banned is what makes the foundation stay on so long which is one of the reasons I love it 😥

Oh, and to top it all off, the old DW pumps do not fit the new DW bottles 😡

I've been persevering with Armani, the finish is much better on me but I need 2 coats and concealer and powder and setting spray and it still doesn't stay on all day.

However I put my old DW on when I was to have a very long day at work and I didn't like it, too dry, too heavy, it aged me.

I'm going to have to try a lot more. I've bought a few contact lense cases so I can go to boots and help myself to sampkes of everything.

And my 2 spare bottles of DW will be going on ebay or vinted, 1N1 and 1N2 if anyone's on the lookout for light shades.

I tried Armani and it sat in my pores and looked dry and powdery. Same thing happened with Benefit Porefessional and Mac Studio Fix.

Totally agree, I’m so desperately trying with the new formula but it’s just not good enough ☹️

Secret Sales have some shade of the old formulation just now

i would have bit, but I’ve tried Rare Beauty now, and I don’t think I’m ever looking back. Genuinely believe it’s better.

Thank you Sofachick6 I have ordered an old formulation, many thanks !
