The formula itself is a bit thinner than the original Double Wear, and it has a more hydrating feel. However, the coverage when used alone was not as impressive as I had hoped. The coverage and matte-yet-dewy balance seems to be proportional. The color itself has no yellow undertones and would be a good match for those with a lighter skin tone. When I mixed it with the Cool Vanilla shade, the yellow undertone was significantly reduced and the coverage was decent. The ingredients are not as impressive as I had expected, as high-end makeup brands tend to use more generic formulas that can be used globally. I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts from using this, but those with very sensitive skin may want to be cautious. (Korean makeup products seem to have better ingredients in general.)
ConsIt's a bit thinner than expected, and the coverage isn't as impressive as the original Double Wear. I'd say it's somewhere between the Futurist and the Double Wear Stay-in-Place. There is a slight tendency to transfer, but it settles nicely into the skin over time and doesn't transfer much. There's really nothing too disappointing about it.
TipMixing the Double Wear Cool Vanilla and Porcelain shades creates the perfect skin tone. I like to use the Porcelain shade all over, then add a bit more of the Cool Vanilla in areas I want more coverage, and use the Porcelain as a subtle highlighter. Here are some photos to show the color comparison: 1. Comparison of the Double Wear Stay-in-Place and Double Wear Nude packaging. The volume is the same, just slightly taller. 2. Color comparison, with Cool Vanilla on top and Porcelain on the bottom. 3. After it has dried down. The colors don't show up as well in the photo, but in reality, it's very similar to the second image. The Cool Vanilla has a noticeable yellow undertone, but it blends seamlessly with my skin tone.
