Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup $33.50 (rs.2400+ in India)available at Estee Lauder counters across Shopper’s stop.This foundation had always been in my wish list. Although, I don’t need such high coverage foundation but I love the doll like ‘made up’ face which made me fall for this!!!
Shade :Out of the 6 shades available, I have the 4 shade: creamy Tan. It is a pink beige shade that suits my skin tone very well. It looks a bit dark on application but adjusts to my skin tones after around 10 minutes.
Packaging is sleek having a navy blue body and gold print.The foundation comes through a squeeze opening. As the foundation itself is quite thick the packaging does pick up smudges but it wipes clean easily.Texture & Formula : The texture of the foundation is quite thick. It is creamy and semi-fluid. It is definitely true to its name for being camouflage makeup. There is nothing it cannot hide-redness, pigmentation, blemishes, uneven areas. I sometimes, use it as a concealer for problem area and it does the job in a great way. Despite being so high in coverage, it feels very light weight on skin.
However, I would like to mention that it makes the face look ‘made up’ and over application can lead to cakey appearance. It provides a matte finish which can be too drying for dry skinned beauties.
Pigmentation : The foundation is immensely pigmented and should be used sparingly as it can easily be overdone. One small drop is sufficient for full face. It can be sheered out by adding moisturiser. I always apply it after moisturising my face heavily as it is too matte for my combination skin. It does provide white cast in flash photography.
Staying Power : It stays for about 8-10 hours but it has a major problem of transferring to other object in hot/humid weather.
Ease Of Application: The foundation sets up quickly so I have to be fast. I always use sponges for foundation application and this applies easily with that. But, you need to be quick!!
Overall Thoughts : If you like the natural/light coverage look, don’t even consider it. However If you like a full face or have scarring or bad blemishes you want to cover go for it! It’s the best full coverage foundation I’ve ever used but it has the tendency of transferring to other objects and cannot be used as an everyday base. It is expensive and not everybody’s cup of tea so I suggest checking it out first. Alternative for this is Kryolan make bases.

I use this only on occasions when my face looks like an explosion in a fireworks factory – and it works very well! But not very kind on my oily face.

This foundation is now added to my wish list too. 🙂 Plus point is that it can hide pigmentation and one can judge from the picture that how the product has brought an amazing change on the face. But I guess the cost will be too high. 🙁
