I am a primer loving fiend; however, I feel the Estée Lauder double wear does not need a primer. It honestly performs well on its own, BUT if you’re dead set on a primer look for one that’s water based more than silicone based. ELDW is a water-based foundation, so using a silicone primer is like putting oil in water. The products are not compatible and can cause separation and patchiness throughout the day. I got the hangover RX on sale at Sephora and it pairs well with the ELDW since it is a very matte foundation. I’m extremely oily, but when oily skin is overly mattified and dehydrated it can actually cause more sebum/oil production. The hangover primer actually works great with it!
Best foundation or BB cream/ CC cream for everyday wear? I love the Estée Lauder double wear foundation but it's too heavy to wear every day😊
