Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

A good foundation provides a flawless canvas and anchors your makeup in place. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation does just that--and stays looking great from morning until night.

I've tested this foundation everywhere--pounding the pavement in DC humidity, at work all day, the gym, and even power boating and clubbing. Yes, it really does stay put! My skin tends to get oily and normally requires a touch up every few hours. But with this foundation, I can go a solid 8 hours without blotting. After blotting, it's back to looking perfect, and after weeks of use, it hasn't caused any breakouts.

This foundation has medium, buildable coverage, a natural semi-matte finish and has an SPF of 10. It comes in cool, warm and neutral tones, with a nice range of shades.

Just one word of caution: although it feels comfortable on and doesn't feel thick, if you prefer sheer foundation, this might be a bit much for you because of the amount of coverage it provides.
