As a makeup enthusiast, I’ve tried so many different brands and products. From drugstore standouts to high end ones, I’ve put these products through the ringer. I also have oily and sensitive skin, so it takes a while to find the right product for me, especially when it comes to foundation. But, after using this Estée Lauder Double Wear Matte Foundation, I swear that I’ll never use anything else again. I’ve been using it for three years now, and here’s why it reigns supreme in the makeup world and is 100% worth the splurge.

Listen, if you have sensitive or oily skin, then you know how much of a struggle it is to find makeup products that work for you. As I tried other products, I was finding that hours after I applied my makeup that my face was still super oily. That’s when I decided to switch to this Estée Lauder foundation (after “borrowing” it from my mom’s makeup collection until she just let me have it), and let me tell you, it’s the best foundation I’ve ever used.

This foundation is liquid, and it goes on super smooth. It stays in place and feels light and breathable on your skin. There are cool, neutral and warm undertones for different shades to give your skin a warm glow, and it provides medium coverage, so you only have to use a little bit during each wear. Not only does this foundation work well on my oily skin and prevent it from shining, but it’s also the best product for combination and dry skin. It doesn’t crease like other foundations, which is a major reason why I love wearing it so much.

If you’re looking to upgrade your makeup routine or try out a new product, you’ll never turn back to another foundation after using this one. It’s worth the splurge, so hurry and add it to cart. Trust me, your skin will thank you later.
