I have been a loyal user of Double Wear Foundation for many years and have always loved the product. However, my recent purchase of the new formula in the same shade (2W0) was very disappointing.
The new version appears noticeably darker and more dull on my skin, even though it is supposed to be the same shade that I have been using for years. The color match is no longer what I expected, and it has affected my overall experience with the product.
I wanted to purchase the original formula in shade 2W0, but I could not find it available online. Returning or exchanging the product has also been frustrating because I would need to find a post office myself and pay for the return shipping, which feels inconvenient and time-consuming.
As a result, I had to purchase another shade, 1W0 from the older version, hoping to mix it with the new foundation to achieve a closer match. This means I have spent additional money and time trying to solve a problem that did not exist before the reformulation.
I have relied on Double Wear Foundation for many years, and this formula change has created unnecessary inconvenience and uncertainty. I am now spending a significant amount of time dealing with this issue, and I still do not know whether mixing two different shades will produce a satisfactory result.
I hope Estée Lauder will consider the feedback from long-time customers who were happy with the original formula and shade consistency.
