The founder of the Estée Lauder brand was Josephine Esther “Estée” Mentzer – born in 1906. An American woman of Hungarian-Czech origin. She entered the cosmetics industry thanks to her uncle, Dr. John Schotz, who ran his own company called “New Way Laboratories” since 1924. Estée Lauder began working in the cosmetics industry by selling cosmetics (face creams) produced in her own kitchen. A breakthrough in her career came with the launch of her first fragrance – the “Youth Dew” shower oil. The smell remained on the skin throughout the day.
In 1997 she launched the Double Wear foundation; it became an instant hit and is still a classic today.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup is a long-lasting foundation that lasts up to 24 hours and it does not wear off or leave a stain.
Its oil-free formula prevents the skin from shining and leaves a matte finish but at the same time, it allows the skin to breathe. The foundation effectively conceals any skin imperfections, including enlarged pores, and does not cause acne. It is odourless.
The SPF 10 filter to protects against sun and harmful UV rays. It is matte but has a fresh natural finish. It has a medium buildable coverage for all skin types. It is the perfect solution if you are suffering from hot flushes or sweats because it will not melt off.
If the red patches travel down your neck and arms try Double wear maximum face and body, you can be confident that it will cover any degree of redness so you can get on with your day and not worrying about looking like a patch work quilt.
If you have dry skin make sure you address this with your skin care/Primer, you can always mx a little of your Moisturiser/Primer with your foundation. I would recommend 2- parts foundation to 1-part primer. I wish it came with a pump, but you can buy it separately for around £5.So please stop by one of the Estée lauder counters where the lovely ladies with help you find your perfect shade and give you a ten day sample to take home.
Double Wear comes in three under tones Warm(W) ranges from Yellow, peachy to golden, Cool (C)-Pink and Bluish hues, Neutral (N), Has no obvious overtones of pink or sallow skin, but rather the skin’s natural colour is more apparent. It has nearly 60 shades, so it has tone for everyone.
I have been using Double Wear for over 20 years, I have have tried many others over the years, but it is the only one that has never let me down, it really does last. Even after a night out when I have forgotten to take my make-up off, I have woken up the next morning and it looks like I just applied it.
I don’t recommend doing that! You should never go to bed without taking your make up off, but we all make mistakes. Right!
Skin care is key! you can wash make up off but you cant wash off glowing skin.
I prep my skin with my Hanzz and Heidii eye cream, serum and moisturiser, then apply primer. I am using Double wear hydrating primer to illuminate the skin and banish away any sign of dullness. It has an SPF of 45.It provides a powerful protection against environmental damage melts into the skin for a radiant canvas, which never feels sticky or heavy.
My favourite brush to apply my foundation is a high-quality, vegan foundation brush consisting of extremely ultra-soft synthetic hair which are bunched by hand to a very dense brush top. The compact bunch and its flat surface facilitates an flawless even coverage effect.
I will list the brushes I like so you can have a look, I just apply a little at a time, starting at the side of my nose, blending outwards. It is so easy to apply, you see the difference straight away, it does not feel heavy, just light and fresh. I use double wear concealer under my eyes, its smooth and does not crease, it is oil free and has a soft matte finish, it comes with a wand applicator, but I use a brush to apply. My skin tone is neutral, but I do prefer a warm toned foundation.
My colours are depending on how tanned I am are
Tawny 3W
Shell beige 4N1
Honey bronze 4W1
Do give it a try if you are having trouble keeping your make-up on when the flushing or sweat hits. You won’t be
disappointed. Take a look at my last blog on Hot flushes.
As always Shine like a Diamonds.
Sending Love & Healing Energy.
