We’ve found the best Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation dupes

If there is anything we can get on board with, it's slaying a can't-tell-the-difference, 'IS THIS CHANEL, DAHLING?' beauty dupe. Another thing we can most definitely get on board with is Estée Lauder Double Wear dupes. Any time we can save money on a £30 foundation, we are sprinting to add a like-for-like dupe to our baskets.

Like most of the country, we are unashamedly obsessed with Estée Lauder's Double Wear. The foundation is both lightweight and full coverage, lasts all day and only takes a few drops to cover your whole face. Loved by celebrities far and wide (plus, plenty of us normal folks), Double Wear glides onto your skin giving you a gorgeous, flawless base with a satin finish, making your skin glow.

As much as we ADORE Estée's offering, our bank balance doesn't always support our needs. Much like the best Glossier dupes and the cult favourite natural finish foundation Glossier Skin Tint, it's hard to stray from the original when you've been in love with it for so long. But, if you're particularly skint one month, you might be looking for an Estée Lauder Double Wear dupe to tide you over.

Luckily for us, over the years, beauty buffs from across the globe have identified some really good dupes. Especially dupes from luxury brands, like the Dior Lip Oil dupes which mean you can achieve the look for a lot less. These Estée Lauder Double Wear dupes will have everyone (including maybe even you) fooled.

Why is Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation so good?

Much like Clinique's Black Honey, Estée Lauder's Double Wear Foundation has reached cult status. (Don't worry, we have a Clinique Black Honey dupe for that too). Reviewers say they love that Double Wear easily makes it through a 12-hour day without any issues, has medium coverage from the first layer and delivers a beautiful satin finish to make skin look alive.

There's a great shade range so you're bound to find your ideal match with a little experimenting. For oily-skinned make-up lovers, it keeps oil at bay and won't break up even at the end of the day. It's comfortable to wear and doesn't collect in lines, which is a big bonus. For a natural dewy finish, layer with a liquid blush like a Rare Beauty blush dupe for some definition.

Probably the biggest drawback is that it doesn't come with a pump, which when you're splashing the cash on a luxury foundation, can be frustrating. However, Estée Lauder has clearly listened to its buyers, and you can now buy an Estee Lauder Double Wear Sip Pump separately. While nothing in this world can be perfect, Double Wear is pretty close.

Where can I find the best beauty dupes?

Looking for a longwear dupe, not just for your foundation, but for your favourite fragrance? This Dior Hypnotic Poison dupe went viral all over the internet for being a budget buy and a long-lasting dupe for luxury brand, Dior. It goes without saying but some of the best places to keep up to date on upcoming beauty dupes are TikTok, Twitter and YouTube. Keep an eye on those socials.
