Estée Lauder has a new cushion foundation for anyone who wants full coverage that does not feel heavy in Malaysian heat. The Double Wear SkinFit Cushion Foundation SPF 40/PA+++ is a refillable compact built for a fresh, soft matte finish, and it is designed to hold up through humidity and a long day.
What it is
The cushion sits within Estée Lauder’s long-running Double Wear range, which is known for staying power. This version comes in a slim, refillable compact with a sponge applicator, so touch-ups are quick whether you are at your desk or out. Estée Lauder says the formula gives 24-hour colour-true wear with breathable full coverage, and that it is made up of 80 percent skin-caring ingredients, so it is meant to behave as much like skincare as makeup.
How it is built
A few named technologies do the work here. Microflex Longwear Mesh is described as a flexible layer that moves with your skin and hugs its contours, so the coverage does not settle into lines or cake over the day. An All-Day Oil Control Complex is there to absorb excess oil and keep shine down, while a Soothing HydroVeil Blend adds moisture and is meant to reduce the look of irritation.
For the local climate, the details Estée Lauder is leaning on are the useful ones: the foundation is described as heat and humidity resistant, with transfer-resistant coverage and SPF 40/PA+++ sun protection built in. That mix of coverage, oil control and sun protection is the pitch for a daily base that can handle a Malaysian commute.
Refillable by design
The compact is refillable, which is the part worth flagging beyond the finish. Instead of buying a whole new case each time, you replace the cushion insert, which cuts down on packaging and, over time, on cost. It is a format more beauty brands have moved towards, and Estée Lauder has priced the refill well below the full compact to make the swap worthwhile.
Price and where to buy
- Prefill (full compact): RM240
- Refill: RM156
The Double Wear SkinFit Cushion Foundation launched exclusively on TikTok Shop on 1 July 2026. From 1 August 2026 it will be available more widely at Estée Lauder stores nationwide, Sephora, Shopee and Lazada.
The takeaway
If you like the coverage of Double Wear but want something lighter to apply and easier to refresh through the day, the SkinFit Cushion is Estée Lauder’s take on it, with the refillable compact adding a practical reason to consider it beyond the finish.
