Product Spotlight: Estée Lauder Double Wear Instant Fix Concealer 24H Concealer + Hydra Prep

April 22nd, 2019 by Karen 8 Comments

Hydration and coverage from Estée Lauder

As you know, I am solidly, steadfastly Estée Lauder #teamdoublewear (their Double Wear Light and O.G, Double Wear Foundation are iconic!), and this latest addition to the Double Wear fam has been one of my go-to under-eye concealers as of late.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Instant Fix Concealer 24H Concealer + Hydra Prep ($28, available in 22 shades) is a dual-ended situation with a brush-on moisturizer on one end and a medium-coverage liquid concealer on the other, and it’s made for dry skin with fine lines… HELLO, YOU TALKING TO ME?! LOL.

I like it because the moisturizer smooths everything out and plumps the skin. It’s kinda slippery and silicone-y feeling, and similar to MAC Fast Response Eye Cream, which is famous for under-eye concealer prep.

The concealer chills on top where it hides shadows and dark areas, and it does this without looking leathery after a few hours (again, very similar to another MAC Product — their old-school Select Moisturecover Concealer).

No likey ‘ze crepe-y concealer? This concealer combo is your dawg.

I’m wearing Medium Deep (Warm) in the after pic.

I do feel like the 24HR claim is a stretch, because it fades a little by the end of the day, but eh — I’d rather have a little bit of fading than a little caking and heavy concealer all up in my experience lines.

I think this product is best for peeps who like sheerer concealer coverage and have dry skin and fine lines. If you prefer Tarte Shape Tape levels of concealment, however, then something like Maybelline’s concealer would be a better fit (it hides everything!).

Also, if your under-eye area is oily, again, probably not the best fit.

From esteelauder.com…

Prep. Conceal. Go. Multi-tasking, two-sided prep and concealer tool. Eyes look brighter, more radiant.

HYDRA PREP
On one side there’s Hydra Prep serum for an instant hit of hydration. Helps smooth fine dry lines and lets concealer glide on smoothly and blend seamlessly. Reapply it throughout the day to quickly reboot and refresh your look.

24H CONCEALER
On the other side, there’s an extreme wear concealer that lasts 24 hours. This flawless cover-up is perfect for dark circles, spots, discoloration, imperfections, more. Natural satin matte finish with medium-to-full buildable coverage. Super blendable. Won’t crease. Waterproof. Sweat- and humidity-resistant.

HOW TO CHOOSE, HOW TO USE
Choose a concealer shade that matches your skintone and foundation or is one shade lighter.

Find your perfect shade: Choose your skin’s intensity level (from ultra light to very deep) and undertone (cool, neutral or warm).

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR UNDERTONE
Undertone is the way your bare skin looks and behaves. Which one sounds most like you?
Cool (C) undertones: Bare skin has a rosy tone and burns easily in the sun.
Neutral (N) undertones: Bare skin is more even toned, not too pink or golden.
Warm (W) undertones: Bare skin has a golden or olive tone and tans easily in the sun.

Apply as needed to cover-up dark circles, spots, imperfections, more.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    This sounds amazing and right up my alley! I’m a lighter coverage kinda girl and definitely have drier skin.

    I usually use a corrector first and then a concealer, which means I can get away with lighter coverage (and less caking).

    You probably love it when I say this but, concealer is definitely a step you don’t need. You look exactly as gorgeous in the before pic as in the after. 🙂 But, if you’re digging this one, I’m glad you found a product you like!

    What is “shape tape” anyway? I find it so off-putting. I don’t like the products Tarte is putting out.

      Hi Amanda,

      It’s an opaque concealer that’s been a hit for Tarte. I’m not a fan of it, but a lot of people love it.

    Hi Karen! I’m so happy to hear you liked this because it is on sale at ulta today 🙂

    I will try to go in store to choose my color, but was curious of you recall the number you used? ( 3W, 4w, etc?)

    Thanks!

        Thank you for confirming!

        I recall swatching it in store a while back and thought the formula was lovely! now that it’s on sale I gotta pick one up 🙂

        $14.50 for a concealer and serum sounds like a steal!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
