Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation
A true cult classic, Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation first launched in 1997, and has been a staple in MUA kits globally ever since. Boasting a huge range of 55 shades, this staple of the beauty industry delivers a your-skin-but-better finish, with a natural yet matte, buildable medium coverage. The formula is stacked with benefits, including SPF10 protection, as well as being water, sweat, heat, and humidity-proof. It promises up to 24 hours of wear, so helps to minimise shine and stay fresh from dawn until dusk.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Concealer
The perfect companion to the Double Wear Foundation, Estée Lauder reformulated their concealer and re-released it in 2025, with a new-and-improved coverage. Featuring 30 inclusive shades, this medium-full coverage concealer is perfect for covering dark circles, while leaving skin feeling hydrated.
From the wand to the wearability, everything was considered to make this the most reliable concealer in an MUA’s kit.
The new formula includes InvisiFlex Technology. This means there are polymers in the concealer that move with your facial expressions, helping to ensure breathability and comfort all day long. As well as this, micro silica spheres absorb excess oil. The lightweight formula works hard, feeling featherlight while remaining sweat, humidity and water-resistant for up to 24 hours, just like the Double Wear Foundation.
