Estée Lauder earns strong reviews for performance, with Double Wear foundation praised for long-lasting, natural-looking coverage and Advanced Night Repair delivering smoother, more hydrated skin; however, several reviews cite heavy or thick textures in certain creams and concerns about animal testing and dated image. Overall, the brand works—especially for makeup longevity and anti‑aging benefits—while fragrance reformulations and occasional heaviness hold it back.
This is my second tub, I have been using it every day consistently, mostly at night after cleansing, and often in the morning as well. Although the results are not dramatic, I do see a slight improvement, and most important I have not developed new wrinkles around my eyes. I like the consistency and the lightweight formula. My skin tolerates is well, and I plan on keep using it.
I’m not a big fan of vanilla scents to be honest because I usually find them super overpowering and overwhelming but this perfume has a very nice and subtle sweetness to it. It gives off very nice toasty vibe that really feels like summer or a beach day. I was pleased surprised with this fragrance and also at how long lasting it is. It doesn’t feel overly sweet and I would describe it as a fresh scent with a warm, summery subtle sweetness. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a warm, sweet scent that doesn’t overwhelm your senses!
Estée Lauder is one of those brands that consistently delivers for me. It feels classic, polished, and dependable in a way that not many brands do anymore.
Their Double Wear foundation is my forever go-to. I’ve tested countless foundations, and I always circle back to it. The staying power is unmatched, the coverage is reliable, and it makes me feel confident knowing my makeup will look the same at the end of the day as it did when I applied it. That kind of consistency is rare.
Beyond foundation, the brand as a whole feels elevated and thoughtfully formulated. The packaging is timeless, the performance is dependable, and the products feel designed for real life, long days, events, and everything in between.
For me, Estée Lauder represents quality and longevity. It’s a brand I trust and one I keep repurchasing.
The Advanced Night Repair Eye Lift and Sculpt is a great eye serum for those with undereye circles, bags, and fine lines/wrinkles around the eye area. It is also hydrating so you don't need to add a cream after.
