Estée Lauder now owns Smashbox. I am curious if there was some formula secrets passed off between the two companies? I mean we will never know, but "Double Wear" has been the gold standard for 30 years.

I’m sure there was then or atleast help from their expert chemists and stuff. Because EL to be honest is just not beatable. I leave it to dry down on my pallets sometimes and it will not come off with anything but soaking it with makeup remover

Maybe Estes Lauder learned from its mistake with the launch and fail of the new & “ improved “ Lancôme version. Don’t fix anything that isn’t broken just release a new launch. I’ve used Lancôme and double wear for a long time and had to switch to double wear because none of the new Lancôme shades me and they always look a little off I miss the original. I will try this one . Maybe it’s the companies version of new and improved? 🤷‍♀️ you will also see similarities with a lot of Lancôme and L’Oréal products. In my opinion Infallible is L’Oréal’s version of the original Teint Idole and now that the original is gone Infallible has better shade match for me as well as double wear. I’ll give this smash box one a try. I don’t like change much though when it comes to foundation. I flirt with others but always would end up returning to Teint Idole 2nd place Double wear 3 rd place L’Oréal infallible and always would keep the infallible around in different shades for summer winter and so I’d always have something. However 80% of the time I’d only wear Lancôme Teint Idole. I’d always buy new foundations for fun and to try but always went back . Now that it’s gone it’s double wear and infallible ( for fuller coverage) and maybe this new smash box . We will see will be fun to try and hopefully something makes me feel like my Lancôme Teint Idole did 😿

To be honest, the Estée Lauder looked so much better on your face. The smash box looked shiny/oily at all the check ins. The color of the smash box seemed a little yellow to me but that’s just color. It can be fixed. Just my opinion, the Estée Lauder looked so so much better. Great video. Thanks for doing this!

One of the big things too, is that the smashbox comes with a pump.

I swore by Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation, and wore it faithfully for over 25 years. Then I discovered Il MAKIAGE, and thought that was it.

Hello Risa , I’m 42 years old , i discovered Estée Lauder double wear from the makeup artist who did my makeup’s wedding ( 2009 ) !! I’m a high end foundation addict , and i swear by the Estée Lauder DW since then !! Nothing beats the Estée Lauder DW, as you mentioned, with the right skin prep and application it’s the most perfect flawless long lasting skin like foundation on earth 😃😃🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍 … i’ll give the Smashbox a try since you recommend it !! Love from Montréal ❤❤❤

Well I'm glad the Smashbox seems to be a good dupe, because in Canada Estee Lauder just increased the price by 20 CAD for this foundation so it now costs a whooping 70 CAD! DW was my holy grail for 15+ years but I refuse to pay this insane price when there are other options just as good at a more decent price point.

Hi Risa. I'm 60 year's young😂 and I have dry skin. However, Estee Lauder Double Wear is 1 of my favorite foundations. I make sure that I night before I'm planning to wear it I exfoliating my skin the night before I'm planningg to wear it, then I prep my skin ver, very well. I use a damp sponge and work in small sections, pressing the foundation really well into my skin. And then I use a light misting of a hydrating setting spray, and let it sit while I finish working on my eyes. This is an incredible foundation, and I will never not have it in my foundation collection ❤❤

I believe the Smashbox brand is owned by the Estee Lauder Company, so that might be a contributory factor as to why the Smashbox foundation feels similar to Double Wear, so maybe there are some overlaps in the formula and ingredients 💖 I don't know if brands owned by the same corporation do share some core / base formulas, but it's a thought 🤔✨️

Your assessments are so consistently accurate that I've come to trust you over nearly everyone else on KZread. (Stephanie Marie gives outstanding reviews comparable to my skin type too.)

Wow. It looks identical. So very pretty. Thanks for doing this. I'm grateful that you're here !

So devastated b/c no matter how much Estee Lauder denies it, they 100% changed the formula of the Double Wear stay-in-place foundation. All heavily oily skinned ladies know this for a fact b/c it is not the same anymore. It doesn't dry down as quickly or matte. It does not hold back any oil whatsoever, nor is it transfer proof anymore. Prior to their additional shades launch (also when they changed the formula) that foundation was my holy grail. There was nothing on the market like it! I would wear it 12 hours straight in the summer without a single touch up & my face was still matte at the end of the day. Now Double Wear doesn't last 3 hours before the oils have seeped through and one tiny swipe on the face takes off everything. Such a disservice to who the foundation was primarily targeted for in the first place!

Definitely will be trying the Smashbox foundation! Thank you for taking so much time and energy to ensure you gave us a fair recommendation!

Awesome review, Risa! I ordered the Smashbox a few days ago!

I’m so glad I found another oily, over 40, Las Vegan like me. I’ve been having trouble with foundations the older I get.

Thanks for the video! I love your shirt and you look so pretty in it

I’m sorry Risa but no other foundation, compares to Double wear my holy grill forever!! I can mix it with any foundation, especially a sheer or glow, and it does magically beautifully job!! believe me I have tried every single foundation, and Sephora , Macy’s Nordstrom. Nothing compares to Este Lauder❤

I can so relate, Risa. I, too, watched the Smashbox demos with the SB rep Holly on QVC for years... andddd bought a LOT of Smashbox products. It was my favorite brand for a long time, then it seemed to fall off the radar. I loved their mascaras, lipsticks, glosses, their cool lip trio, brow system, brushes, etc. You get the point. lol My skin is normal to dry now (used to be combination), but I would definitely give this a whirl. It looks really beautiful on you. Thank you for taking the time to do the 3 wear tests with check-ins! I'm one of your Michigan viewers and fans. 🥰🙋‍♀

Thank you for this video, Risa. I purchased the foundation and concealer, tried both the past 2 days and LOVE them! I agree a new holy grail!

Thanks so much for sharing! I've been on the fence about getting the Smashbox and now I'm convinced.😊❤️

I think the shine breakthrough gives you a nice glow, and the makeup performed beautifully.

Oh wow!! You and Tati both! I really want to try this! Thank you Risa!!❤😊

I love double wear. It is my favorite foundation, and I love to apply it mixed with a serum and it stays all day. I have very shiny skin too.

Looks so fabulous! Love the dress…you look gorgeous!

I want to try this Foundation because just like you said I love the double where I have extra dry skin but it doesn't dry me out completely it actually keeps my skin looking after I'm not like a mask so since this one has like moisturizing agents and I'm extra happy

It’s my holy grail. Long wearing. Doesn’t budge and super comfortable all day long. Also wanted to mention that I have normal to dry 44 yo skin, and I agree….its about the prep with DW. I make sure to moisturize well, and I also use Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel under it, and it is absolutely the best sunscreen to bring the glow back to matte foundations.
