Sheer Matte Foundations

The Estée Lauder Double Wear Sheer Foundation is Featherlight

The iconic Double Wear Foundation by Estée Lauder is now available in a lighter, more sheer formula that offers all of the blurring benefits of the original. The product still delivers on buildable coverage and a soft matte finish, all the while gently smoothing out texture and tone, plus the benefits of oil, sweat and humidity control.

The flexible formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, plus juicy watermelon, apple and lychee seed extracts. Additionally, SPF 30 delivers a layer of protection.

The Estée Lauder Double Wear Sheer Long-Wear Makeup SPF 20 can be found in shades like 3W1 Tawny, 2N1 Desert Beige and 6W1 Sandalwood, all of which are featherlight and useful for all-day shine control with a natural-looking finish that feels like a second skin.
