4.7Variant: 3n1, 3w1.5Double Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation
  • “This may come as a shock because I did not love the original on myself. It was too heavy. It was too matte. It was just too much. But they reformulated and this is so beautiful”25:08–25:16
  • “This is a full coverage foundation that I can wear. It will stay in place all day long. I wore this yesterday. It stayed in place until like I think it was 1:00 a.m. when I took my makeup off. It's perfection”25:26–25:35
  • “It is thin. They made it a lot more like natural on the skin. It doesn't feel heavy”25:44–25:49
  • “If you like extreme matte, you may be disappointed. This may feel a little bit too natural of a finish rather than full matte, but it's not radiant. It's just a natural finish and I think it is absolutely perfection for a more full coverage foundation”25:49–25:54
  • “Estee Lauder, why do we not have a pump? You reformulated everything and you didn't give us a pump. I had to buy the pump. Okay. Separate. I'm offended by that at this point”26:26–26:30

4.6Variant: 4N2Double Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation
  • “I will say with the reformulation, you'll notice it's got a little bit more flex to it. Like it flexes with the face and it doesn't stay. It just doesn't feel as tight as the original did”18:59–19:03
  • “I like the coverage on this. I like the coverage point a little bit more is what I'm saying. It still goes full coverage. It still goes full flawless”23:30–23:37
  • “The longevity has definitely improved”
  • “I wore it one day specifically for I think like 13 hours. Everything on my face still looked freshly applied”
  • “I just noticed a lot less makeup loss of intensity or transfer onto, you know, hands and clothing throughout the day”
  • “The Double Wear reformulation this gets like an A++ in my book. I really like this reformulation”23:52–23:56
  • “I think it's a little bit more fresh. I think it's a little bit more modern like they say”23:29–23:34
  • “You have a much easier time kind of getting a more natural appearance out of the product”23:41–23:45

4.5Variant: CashewDouble Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation
  • “I think this is a foundation that I've been using for more than 3 years now. I haven't really changed it”2:41–2:46
  • “The shade cashew is a bit darker for me. I think two shade darker, but the undertone of it is just perfect”2:46–2:52
  • “The undertone for me a foundation to have a perfect undertone is more important than to have a 100% like, you know, same shade match”3:02–3:06
  • “The older one is like, you know, it sets and dries very quickly. So you don't get too much of a time to think. Just apply and blend very quickly because it sets it sets very quickly”3:26–3:31
  • “They reformulated the Estée Lauder foundation, so I don't know how the new one is”3:21–3:25

4.8Variant: 4N2 Spiced SandFuturist Skin Tint Serum Foundation SPF 20 with Glycerin
  • “This is my probably favorite skin tint that's more full coverage”
  • “With the Estée Lauder one, I feel like if you have things that you want to cover, so you have post-acne hyperpigmentation, active breakouts, redness darkness, but you don't want a full-on foundation. This is where the Estée Lauder really shines”5:44–6:00
  • “I think it's like one of the best shade matches I have from any complexion product”6:00–6:06
  • “It dries down really quick, but it has an exceptionally lightweight feel on the skin”6:08–6:11
  • “It does not feel like makeup and because it dries down to a satin finish, you really don't feel it once the product is set down”6:12–6:22
  • “It's not going to remain on the skin with much tack or the desire to be set with powder”6:22–6:28
  • “If you're somebody who can typically skip out on powder, I love how this is not a distracting set down on the skin”6:28–6:31
  • “You're not going to feel like your hair is going to stick to your face throughout the day, and it's not a distracting wear”6:34–6:39

Brand note

Estée Lauder's concealer lineup is the real story here — specifically the Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Concealer, which creators consistently describe as full coverage, crease-resistant, and long-wearing. It's a thin, pigmented formula that sets quickly and holds up all day, though it can look dry if under-eyes aren't prepped. The brand's complexion products in general lean matte and high-coverage, making them a reliable pick for anyone who needs their makeup to last through a long day without touch-ups.
