I’ve experimented with light-weight foundations over time, from sheer formulation to powder foundations and BB lotions I’ve tried all of it. Regardless of my seek for the right no-makeup basis, I’ve struggled to discover a components that stands the check of time (not to mention one which doesn’t come off after carrying a masks for longer than 10 minutes!)
Estée Lauder’s Double Put on sheer basis positively hits the mark. It’s an awesome day by day put on basis that appears recent with out being cakey. The protection is a little bit mild for me and I needed to apply it twice to get my desired protection, nevertheless it did an awesome job of night out my pores and skin tone, and felt weightless on my pores and skin. I set it with a lightweight powder and it lasted all through the day — which was a pleasing shock!
I did battle to color match myself on-line and the components is VERY runny (take be aware earlier than you open up the bottle!) however total not a foul decide when you’re on the lookout for one thing mild and recent to work into your day by day make-up routine.

I have been a loyal fan of the unique Double Put on Basis for a few years and swear by it for each event. Now I am in my thirties, I am discovering my pores and skin would not want as a lot protection and I used to be on the hunt for one thing a little bit lighter, so this sheer model could not have come at a greater time.
What I like most is that the brand new model nonetheless has that unprecedented long-wear of the unique, in addition to the all-day shine management, however it’s feather-light on pores and skin. It is comparatively buildable, and blends fantastically to be just about undetectable – I’d go as far as to say I’ve by no means seen a extra natural-looking, second-skin end.

I’m not an enormous fan of sheer basis. I’ve brown pores and skin, and like many ladies of color, the hyperpigmentation is actual! Plus, sheer foundations for darkish pores and skin are laborious to get, as many manufacturers don’t fairly perceive undertones. Typically I discover that sheer foundations within the darker shades find yourself with an ashy/chalky end. So often, if I’m on the lookout for sheer protection, I’ll go by with utilizing none in any respect, with a splash of concealer.
Nonetheless, this Esteé Lauder sheer basis is totally different, as a result of being a part of the double put on household in fact meant that naturally it was mild as a feather however nonetheless offered excellent medium protection and it did give that ‘your pores and skin however higher end’ as promised, and bonus, no ashy/chalky end in sight.
My solely qualm was that as a result of I used concealer to cover away any tone unevenness, the components of my concealer and the very moist and runny components of the double put on didn’t match, so I ended up rubbing all of it away. I’d additionally add that shade matching on-line was a tad bit difficult for me. Nonetheless, all in all, when you’re on the lookout for that no-makeup make-up look, then this basis did the job! A lot in order that I feel I’m prepared to present it one other go.

Having by no means tried the long-lasting OG Estée Lauder Double Put on basis (however listening to numerous glowing opinions) I used to be *very* excited to present its new, sheerer, sister basis a strive. To begin with, the color match is pure perfection and is perhaps the perfect match I’ve ever had when selecting on-line, to the purpose the place I may solely simply inform the distinction between my pores and skin and the place I might utilized the inspiration.
The end is matte and offers a really delicate quantity of protection, which might be excellent for no-makeup-makeup days, however I’d positively attain for one more basis if I wanted extra protection, as an alternative of constructing this one up. The one draw back for me is that the feel may be very liquidy, so I really feel like I am having to make use of lots of product for not lots of protection payoff. In any other case, I am going to for certain be reaching for this after I need a low-key look.

I’m such a stan on the subject of the unique Estée Lauder Double Put on, so was virtually chomping on the bit to do that model. For probably the most half, I used to be pleasantly shocked – regardless of being titled ‘sheer’, it is positively buildable which fits me to a T. Nonetheless, my disappointment got here when it dried down and revealed my pores and skin kind for the world to see: dry.
Not like the unique Double Put on, which regardless of being matte offers a particular skin-like impact, this one was much more powdery on the end and I seen it clung to sure areas of my face. With the correct quantity of skincare beneath, although, I feel it will be nice for no-makeup make-up days, so I am going to positively maintain it readily available.
