The desk verdict

The reformulated Double Wear is the long-wear matte reference for oily skin: 60 shades, buildable medium-to-full coverage, oil-free and non-comedogenic claims, at £39.50. If you wore the previous formula, re-match your shade before buying.

Skip this if you want a dewy or sheer finish, need a sunscreen rather than SPF 10 makeup, or prefer a formula that removes with a light cleanse.

02 / Review

What is in Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation SPF 10?

Estée Lauder reformulated Double Wear Stay-in-Place for 2026, adding a niacinamide and brown-algae complex the brand calls AlgaNiacin, plus glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, to its long-wear polymer base. The UK page now calls it LongWear Matte Foundation SPF 10.

The brand claims 36-hour wear and oil control, and transfer-proof, waterproof colour. Those figures come from Estée Lauder; The Cast Index has not wear-tested the foundation.

03 / Review

Who is Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation SPF 10 best for?

Oily and combination skin that wants coverage to stay put through a long day. The natural matte finish and medium-to-full coverage suit a polished base; applied thinly, it can still let skin texture show.

04 / Review

What should you check before buying?

Re-match your shade: Estée Lauder advises it for anyone who wore the previous formula, and it is worth sampling the new one before buying a full bottle. SPF 10 is not a substitute for a dedicated sunscreen. A transfer-proof film needs a thorough cleanse at night.

05 / How to use it

How should you use Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation SPF 10?

  1. 01Apply over a dedicated sunscreen once it has settled
  2. 02Shake, then dot a small amount and blend outwards from the centre of the face
  3. 03Build a second thin layer only where more coverage is wanted
  4. 04Remove thoroughly at night with a cleanser suited to long-wear makeup
