Meet the New Double Wear: Full-of-Life Matte, Built for More

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation reimagines a classic with a breathable, buildable texture that glides on for a natural, dimensional matte finish. It’s designed to color-true wear for hours on end while balancing oil control with hydration, so you can feel confident from morning to night. With 57 shades, there’s a tone for a wide range of undertones and skin tones, including a refined, multi-dimensional finish that avoids flatness.

This version foregrounds lasting power without sacrificing comfort. The formula is weather-proof, gym-proof, and transfer-resistant, aiming to perform across different activities and environments.
