Frequently Asked Questions
Has Double Wear changed?
Yes. Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation has been reimagined with a brand-new formula. Developed over seven years, the new Double Wear delivers more of what you love – and more of what you asked for. It offers enhanced long wear, a lighter and more breathable feel, and added skin-caring benefits, all in a modern matte finish that never looks flat.
How has Double Wear changed?
The new Double Wear is better than ever before. It now features:
- 36-hour long wear (an upgrade from the previous formula)
- A lighter, more fluid, buildable texture for customisable medium-to-full coverage
- A dimensional, full-of-life matte finish
- Improved breathability with weightless comfort
- Skin-balancing benefits that control oil while delivering hydration
- It remains transfer-proof, waterproof, humidity- and sweat-resistant – while wearing more beautifully on skin
What ingredients are in Double Wear?
The new Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation is powered by skin-caring ingredients and advanced technology.
The formula includes:
Glycerin to help deliver hydration and maintain skin comfort – making the foundation especially well-suited for dry skin and mature skin.
Niacinamide, known for its skin-balancing benefits, which helps to reduce excess oil – ideal for oily and combination skin types.
Polymer Mesh Matrix Technology, a breathable, flexible system that moves with your skin while locking in colour, coverage and comfort for up to 36 hours.
This intelligent formulation allows Double Wear to control oil while also providing hydration, so skin feels balanced rather than tight or dry. The lightweight, buildable formula spreads easily over textured areas, won’t settle into fine lines, and wears beautifully on mature skin as well as younger skin.
Double Wear is oil-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested, vegan, and free from sulphates, drying alcohols and mineral oil – making it suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, sensitive and blemish-prone skin.
Is Double Wear still long wear?
Yes – and it now lasts even longer.
The new Double Wear delivers up to 36 hours of long wear, making it the longest-wearing Double Wear formula to date. It remains transfer-proof, waterproof, sweat- and humidity-resistant, with colour-true performance that won’t fade, shift or oxidise throughout the day.
What skin type is the new Double Wear formula for?
The new Double Wear is suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, combination, sensitive and blemish-prone skin.
It controls oil for up to 36 hours while also providing immediate hydration, helping to balance skin. The buildable, non-caking formula is designed to be comfortable, non-settling and non-creasing – making it appropriate for both younger and more mature skin.
