Whether you're a complete beauty devotee or a novice, chances are you've heard of Estée Lauder's Double Wear Foundation. Known for its full-coverage formula, all-day wear, and matte finish, it's a cult classic that has stood the test of time. The brand has also delivered icons like Advanced Night Repair and Bronze Goddess—so when it announced the launch of the Double Wear Concealer, expectations were, naturally, sky-high.
As a self-proclaimed concealer fanatic, I had to get my hands on this one. Marketed as a multi-use, skin-perfecting matte concealer that feels hydrating and featherweight, it sounded like the dream formula. I tend to pair a creamy, full-coverage concealer with a lighter foundation, so this felt right up my alley.

Available in 30 shades varying in cool, warm and neutral tones.
First impressions? Pure luxury. From the weighted component to the frosted glass packaging, everything about this concealer screams high-end. It makes the daily ritual of applying makeup feel just that bit more indulgent.
Formula-wise, it doesn’t disappoint. It glides onto the skin effortlessly, but once it sets, it's not budging. Like the original Double Wear Foundation, it dries down to a matte, velvet-like finish that blurs pores and perfects the complexion. I opted for the shade 0.5N, which suits my fair skin with neutral-pink undertones perfectly and gives just the right amount of brightness for added dimension.
If I had to nitpick, my only note would be that on my drier skin, I needed to prep well with moisturiser beforehand. But honestly, that’s my usual routine with most complexion products, so it wasn’t a dealbreaker.
Final verdict? If you’re a Double Wear loyalist or simply on the hunt for a concealer that delivers serious coverage and longevity, this one belongs in your shopping basket—no hesitation.
