The Estee Lauder Companies is one of the world's largest skincare and cosmetics companies, with many brands, but the eponymous brand Estee Lauder's makeup line has always been a little tepid, and the base makeup line is an exception. Among them, Double Wear, which was launched in 1997, is one of the best-selling foundations in the world for oily and oily skin.
 
The biggest feature of Double Wear is its strong anti-sweat and waterproof, oil-controlling and anti-shedding effects, which are mainly suitable for combination and oily skin. When you first apply makeup, it is not as delicate as a moisturizing foundation, and the makeup does not appear to be comfortable enough, and you need to wait until the natural oil secreted by the skin and the powder are fused, and the mask will disappear. However, for normal to dry skin with low oil secretion, continuous wearing of makeup can aggravate the dryness of the skin, and may feel dull or even cause tightness, flaking, cracking, etc., so it is necessary to use moisturizing skin care products or apply a base before makeup. Long-lasting foundation can be used with a variety of tools and techniques, but you need to pay attention to the "speed" of makeup, that is, quickly and evenly apply the powder to the face, otherwise it will dry quickly and be difficult to adjust. The principle of "small amount and multiple times" can be applied multiple times to achieve the desired coverage on the areas that need to be emphatically covered, and effectively avoid over-loading the whole face.
 
Although the foundation color is too white to cover the original skin tone, if you don't apply the neck, chest and other connecting parts, the overall look will be like wearing a mask. For this reason, Double Wear has designed a wide range of colors, as many as 56 colors, the number of sales varies in different regions, and 20 can be bought in Chinese mainland. Its color number is divided by a combination of three indicators: chromaticity, hue and tone: the color scale is used to divide skin tone, and can provide up to nine shades from 0 to 8; The color palette is identified by letters, C is cool, W is warm, and N is natural; The base tone is divided into more detailed colors on a scale of 0-4, with the higher the number, the darker the color.
 
The price of Double Wear counter is 390 yuan per bottle, however, due to the use of open glass bottles as containers, it is a little unhygienic and inconvenient to control the amount of powder when taking powder, so it is best to use it with a pressure pump head, and the official pressure pump head costs 60 yuan.
 
In addition to the classic Double Wear, Estée Lauder also offers two foundations, Futurist Moisturizer and Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Serum Makeup for dry skin. Among them, Futurist Water Foundation is exclusively available in Asia, while Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Serum Makeup is only available in Europe and the United States. Although the two are very similar in appearance, Futurist only comes in 6 shades suitable for Asian skin, less than Perfectionist's 15 shades, and the formula is different: Perfectionist has an SPF of 25 and Moisturizer has SPF20; Perfectionist adds more moisturizing ingredients and anti-aging ingredients than Moisturizer, which has a stronger ability to fill fine lines and pores, which is more suitable for mature skin, and the overall coverage is higher, and the makeup surface presents a soft satin finish; The water is clearer, more than covering blemishes, it is more to even out the skin tone, the powder is very delicate, except for the skin with a large amount of oil, and the makeup effect is more shiny.
 
In addition, the Hydrate series has launched a new Hydrating Dual-Tube Foundation. This liquid foundation combines two tubes, one for the watery liquid foundation and the other for a more moisturizing lotion that can be used as a pre- or post-foundation highlighter. Single-use foundation liquid often encounters disobedience, poor moisturization and other conditions, with the right makeup can often get 1 1>2 effect, Qinshui double tube is a good entry point for people who have not used makeup habits, but the price of 590 yuan per bottle is 100 yuan more expensive than the original Qinshui version.
