Estee lauder have recently changed the formula of their ever so popular double wear foundation so I thought id give it a try. About a year or so ago I owned this foundation and I remember really liking it so I wasnt too sure what I would think about the formula change - having read many negative comments about it.
The first thing I noticed is the colour range is completely different, each colour seems a lot darker and I found it difficult to find a colour that matched my skin - mainly because even the warm colours (for people with yellow undertone skin) had elements of pink/red- I have yellow undertone skin, but just slightly (when I am not tanned).
Once I started using this foundation the pink undertone was even more noticeable and appeared orangey on my skin. The new formula is slightly more runny which I though would actually be better as the previous foundation was extremely thick. The new consistency makes it easier to apply however it contradicts the 'double wear' as it the coverage is not as good and it definately doesnt last the 15+ hours that it advertises.
At £28.50 this product is waaayy overpriced and the actual foundation is what I would expect from a much lower priced drug store foundation (I actually much prefer my curreny rimmel foundation to this one)
Bit of a negative blogpost but I felt I had to be honest. Have you tried the new estee lauder foundation? What are your thoughts?
