I write this, I am wearing my perfect shade of Double Wear 3N1, Ivory Beige, blended with Advance Night Wear for quite a beautiful flawless finish.  This is my go to, I mingle with other foundation brands and shades, but I am married to Double Wear, and despite trying to find another flawless finish, we are bound together til death due us part.   I discovered this foundation strolling through Marshall Fields, admiring the beautifully designed compacts, the cream rouge, and thoughts instantly run to my mom and aunt, in their prime dressing up in the 80s to go out, and when going out was an outright affair to be dressed appropriately, fluffy hair, lace dresses and fur coats with a glitzy clutch that matched the shoes and belts.  A girly girl since birth, I knew when I grow up, I will start my routine with these beautifully adorned compacts that are a beauty product and an accessory in and of itself and become an "Estée Lauder Lady."
