Double Wear Smooth and Blur Primer

Kaye

I don't understand all the bad reviews. I bought the double wear smooth and blur primer and have used it twice. It goes on nice and makes a perfect base for my double wear foundation. I am 60 plus and still have oily patches but this suits me.

Not For Oilies.

Did not blur or smooth, sat in my pores and looked strange. Did not control my oil.

Worst primer I've ever used

In 30 years of doing makeup this is the worst primer I have ever used. I literally cannot believe how bad this is. it goes on and dries so quickly that it's impossible to work into your face. It is absolutely awful with doublewear Foundation, you just can't work with it at all. The only Foundation it remotely works with is a very greasy tinted moisturizer kind of thing, basically something with lots of slip I simply can't see the point of this at all. And can't believe the price for such an awful product. Hopefully it will be discontinued very soon. Estee Lauder I have no idea what you were thinking.

good for oily skin

i use this alone mostly for my oily nose and my oily eyelids. for my eyelids they stay smooth all day but for my nose i think i still feel some SLIGHT oil towards the night maybe i just need to use more. but overall it makes my oily nose feel smooth and soft. also feels good under the foundation smooth asf. recommend it

HARD NEVER AGAIN

unfortunately, this primer is not compatible with me and the Double Wear foundation. it pills. doesn't make the foundation base last longer either. it's like wearing NO primer. waste of money. Mac matte primer, in comparison, is far superior. very disappointed.

Stuck in my fine lines

I don’t have super deep creases under my eyes but this definitely did them no justice. I might have used it wrong but given my experience it’s just not for me.

Really disappointing

Sorry, this not a good Primer it's like glue and you literally can't apply the Double Wear over it, very disappointing!!Ö.

Awful product

For over 20 years EstÈe Lauder has been my go-to make-up brand. I bought this product because they'd discontinued my usual primer. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it seems impossible to apply make-up smoothly over this primer. The make-up separates and clumps together. I'm applying the primer over EstÈe Lauder moisturise (after the moisturiser has had time to sink into my skin), and using EstÈe Lauder make-up on top, the same process I have used for many years. This primer is a waste of money.

Lovely product

I was wary of buying this because of the variable reviews. However,I find this to be an excellent product. It minimises my pores and creates a Matt velvety base for my makeup.

Goes well with double wear foundation

I have combination skin type and tried this primer for the first time and loved it . It goes really well with the double wear foundation, doesn’t crease, doesn’t look cakey and it looks super natural. And last all day, didn’t have to retouch my face after being at work k for 16+hours

I miss the other smoothing primer, this one makes my skin very dry & my make up sits thicker on my face and starts to peel away. I definitely won’t be buying again.

Holy grail for hormonal mature skin.

Fantastic on mature skin. Moisturize properly before applying and you’ll get great results. I was pleasantly surprised - holy grail for hormonal, dry, sensitive and acne prone skin.
