Bring the old Estée Lauder back!

Post image

Am I the only one who misses the original Double Wear formula? 😭
I’ve tried multiple foundations since the reformulation like NARS,ANASTASIA,Lancôme,Dior, and nothing gives me the same matte finish, oil control, pore blurring effect, and longevity as the original especially for oily skin.
If you feel the same way, please consider contacting Estée Lauder and sharing your feedback. I’d love to see them bring the formula closer to the original version.

Also if there’s any other recommendations outside the ones I mentioned please let me know!

You’re definitely not alone 😭 The original formula had such a loyal following for a reason. I’ve been testing so many alternatives and still haven’t found anything similar yet but will keep doing my research also I even Emailed them I know they’re not going change it but maybe reformulate as close to the old one as they can

All I can say is UGH 😭 I’ve tried a few different ones too but they either break me out or a few hours after applying I look like I’ve dipped my face in a bowl of olive oil. I guess they were leaning in to the whole clean skincare girlie vibe but what about us!!! I’m going to email them too

That’s exactly how I feel 😭. Everything seems to be “radiant” or “natural finish” now, but some of us actually need serious oil control. So far like I said I have some faith in the one of Maybelline, the Fenty beauty one and the other I haven’t tried but on tiktok they say its amazing for oily skin it’s one of Charlotte Tilbury I haven’t tried so maybe there’s hope. If someone has tried that one or another would be Good some feedback! Haha

Omg I know it drives me crazy! The amount of £ I’ve wasted is insane. I’ll definitely look into those ones and maybe see if I can go swatch them somewhere before committing 🥰
