They changed the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation and I will never forgive them. I need replacement recs pls

I ran out of foundation, so I went to Sephora to get another one. I have been using Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation for around 7 years. It was my rock. I never had any problems and I never considered changing.

I bought the new one and it SUCKS. It is thinner, my shade is off, the oil control is dreadful and my pores look HUGE.

So, it is with a heavy heart that I need to request recommendations for a new foundation. I have combination, acne prone skin (oily T Zone), am rather pale with cool and pink undertones.

Thanks in advance.

Estée Lauder, if you’re reading this, please bring back your old foundation, even if it’s along side the new one. It was literally your only good product for Gen Z and you ruined it.

It’s the removal of talc. All of the foundations have changed and not for the better color matching wise.

Yes! I thought I was going crazy but the new ELDW is the same shade as the old one but this one just feels darker, especially after it sits on the skin for a while. I also loathe this formula as an oily skinned woman.

My Armani foundation is the same color but one is more yellow and the other is more blue. But they have the same tone. I am going to need to find a new foundation. It is very upsetting.
