I’ve heard of this foundation for the longest time. Tons of people have been raving about how amazing it is and how it is a dupe for Estée Lauder’s double wear foundation. Retailing for only 18,000 won, I really wanted to try it for myself. I haven’t tried the Estée Lauder one personally but if there is a good and affordable foundation, I am down to try and test it for you guys. So let’s see if this foundation is worth the hype or not. Let’s go!
A short story about this foundation. It was actually only an online exclusive on Etude House’s website but because it got so popular so fast since a lot of people stated it was almost an exact dupe for Estée Lauder’s double wear foundation, Etude House decided not only to release them in the stores, they also added a lot more shades the the range. I believe it used to only have four or five shades but now it has 8 shades which is almost unheard of in the average K-beauty foundation range.

How to use:
- Gently shake the bottle up and down before use.
- Take an appropriate amount of the Double Lasting Foundation and gently apply in the direction of skin texture.
- Gently pat the face with the fingertips to increase adherence and absorption into skin.
Texture/ Finish: The texture reminds me a lot of Clio’s conceal-dation foundation which I reviewed last month. It has the same great adherence to the skin but I think this one from Etude House is one step up compared to the Clio one. This one seems to effortlessly melt into the skin and doesn’t look cakey. The finish isn’t dewy nor matte, it lies somewhere in the middle. I was scared it might either look cakey or dry on my skin type but to my surprise, it was just right. After about three hours when it settled into my skin, it did start to look slightly dry but I think if I were to wear this foundation in the future, I’d use a super hydrating base underneath like my trusty J.one jelly pack. I’d even go as far as bring a mist with me since I do really like this foundation and the way it looks on my skin. On average, this foundation took about 4 hours before it started to look ever so slightly dry and lasted about 8+ hours before wearing off a bit. Do keep in mind, I don’t set my foundations with powder so if you were to set it, it will last a bit longer.
Coverage: This foundation definitely has a medium to high coverage depending on how many layers you use. I personally went in with two thin layers but if you went in with three layers, you could have definitely achieved a full coverage look.
What is the benefit of double lasting foundation?
The Double Fix system prevents oil from collapsing and pores from getting clogged or glossy to keep your makeup fresh as new. It applies thinly and covers the flaws of the skin with detail, and with buildable texture it naturally increases the coverage without thickening.
