Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation 2N1 DESERT BEIGE

Product Information

Warm Vanilla:Warm tone is naturally white, and you can choose it if you want to brighten your skin tone. This is the scenario that makes the job easier since you get to test the product on your actual skin. However, you can follow the directions for online shopping before going to the store. Once you’re there, try the foundation on your face, and not on your wrists or hands. Equally important, you should wait until the formula dries before making a shade decision! Even though the formula doesn’t oxidize, the color looks true to the final result once it sets. We can judge the tone of our skin tone according to the color of the blood vessels of the wrist, and then decide to buy W, N or C.

This chart doesn’t include every shade in either range, but I’ll be updating it whenever I find a new match. So if you know of a good match then please leave it down in the comments so we can fill the chart out!

How can you determine the right shade for you

To complete our Estée Lauder Double Wear shades course, we need to focus on the meaning of the last digit! Once you determine which is your first number and letter, it’s the last digit that leads you to your shade. The last digit reflects the depth of the color and varies just as the first digit does, from lighter to darker as the numbers go up. This character in particular varies only between 0 and 4, but not all combinations of first number + second letter have options of the last digit from 0 to 4. Let’s see an example! The combo 3W only comes in 3W1, 3W1.5, and 3W2, missing the combinations of 3W0, 3W3, and 3W4 (maybe for the future, who knows!). How can you determine the right shade for you This foundation ensures perfect skin and a fresh complexion all day long, thanks to its stay-in-place SPF 10 formula. Its ultra-comfortable texture is both fluid and lightweight, offering buildable, flawless coverage for a look that's both perfect and natural.

Available in a large variety of shades for all skin tones, Estée Lauder foundation colours can be a little confusing with their unique coding system. Estee Lauder DW makeup foundation color numbers are distinguished by the method of "number + letter + number", such as 1c1, 2n1, 3w1. Estee Lauder and MAC are two of the best foundation brands available. Estee Lauder Double Wear is my current daily choice of foundation, while MAC offers a huge range of foundations for different skin types and situations. Whichever brand you’re looking at trying out, I’ve created a conversion chart between Estee Lauder Double Wear and the MAC shades to help you find your perfect match. Cool Bone:Cool tone 1st white, suitable for cool fair skin, to create a good look of fair and pink. Nars Sheer Glow vs. Mac Studio Fix Fluid vs. Bobbi Brown Skin Long Wear Foundation: Which is Best for You? Estée Lauder foundations are divided into three categories: cool (C), neutral (N), and warm (W) -dependent on your undertone.I’m not a huge fan of sheer foundation. I have brown skin, and like many women of colour, the hyperpigmentation is real! Plus, sheer foundations for dark skin are hard to get, as many brands don’t quite understand undertones. Often I find that sheer foundations in the darker shades end up with an ashy/chalky finish. So usually, if I’m looking for sheer coverage, I will go by with using none at all, with a splash of concealer.

Let’s start by decoding the [C], which stands for “cool” undertones. When choosing a foundation with this undertone, you’re getting a shade that’s more on the pink side, if your natural skin tone is light to medium. For deep skin tones, a cool undertone can show hues of pink, red, or blue. The first number indicates that the shade of liquid foundation is different, also known as color level; It’s always useful to know your MAC shade, even if you don’t use their foundations. Many online reviewers will state their MAC shade before mentioning whether a product works for them, meaning you can work out which products will look good on you without even having to try them on.This isn’t meant to be an exact conversion chart, but rather a rough guide to help you find your perfect foundation shade. You’ll also notice that some of the Double Wear shades are matched to the same MAC shade. This is because Estee Lauder have some shades that are only subtly different, and in this case I recommend either looking at swatches online or going in store to find your perfect shade. Why Should You Know Your MAC Shade? Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup is a 24-hour liquid foundation that has a flawless, natural, and matte makeup.
