    It does feel lovely and silky on the skin, giving your make up a really smooth flawless finish. I don't think it helps the make up to last any longer though and still needs touching up later in the day, but then the Clarins lady said there was yet another product that was designed to help make up last longer. Resisted that as it would have meant yet another layer!

    Do you use loose powder? I find that helps.
    I must say when my make up is freshly applied, fine lines and blemishes appear less (unless it is wishful thinking). Not exactly moneysaving though at £21.50!

    EBAY!!!! :j

    I got my sample of double wear foundation on Saturday (fresco) & LOVED it.. :T
    so have now ordered more AND the double wear mascara AND the double wear concealer - all from Boots so 1500 extra points - yum. Also got the 'excite' lippy as directed with my £5 off pink voucher - yes, MrsE, I see your point! - very nice. So thank you all for all your advice - this is a great thread!! :A

  • Can I ask how people managed to get the free sample of double wear as I'd like to try it but aren't willing to buy a full size until I've tried it.

    Thanks

    Just go to an Estee Lauder counter & ask. They will match you for a shade & give you a little sample bottle. Use it sparingly or it will look like a deathmask imo. I'm new to it & I'm finding it's best over a primer. What do others think?

    I go to my fave makeup counters all the time. They always give me freebies, though I am a good customer. :rolleyes:

    Just blag it, look like you can afford the stuff and that you will definitely be back for more, they will give you stuff. :D
