Coverage Foundation

性价比超高,这种价格能有这样轻薄、遮瑕的粉底液品质真的很棒了。 但是这个粉底液持状效果很一般,特别是油性肌肤或者混油皮肤,居住在南方,不推荐购买,持状效果一长就特别容易斑驳、脱妆、毛孔里都会沉积一块一块的粉底液,很尴尬。

Good stuff, just not for me

This is a great foundation, but I prefer a higher coverage. It does layer well, but it starts feeling heavy to me. Crazy I know bc I wear full coverage stuff, but I mix several foundations together so it doesn't end up actually feeling heavy. The finish of this is lovely & the wear time isn't bad. I would recommend a good primer & some heavy duty setting spray tho for best results. I think my biggest issue with this is that it just didn't suit skin. It was as if my skin just didn't like it. I know a few people who would like it tho so I'll find someone who likes the wear & coverage & give it to them.

Irritated my skin

Ugh. I liked the color, the packaging, the finish.. What I didn't like is that something in this caused my skin to not be happy and break out. Beautylish was super helpful and allowed me to return it for a full refund though!

Good product worth the money, won’t be replacing my regular foundation.

Let’s be honest. Everyone loves the price of this foundation. It’s amazing! But it’s not perfect. It won’t last through a long night of dancing and look great in pictures. It has a nice coverage but not perfect. It’s a great addition and would buy again. But I’m not getting rid of any of my favorites. The color was a perfect match for my skin tone and felt weightless

Not full coverage

I was really disappointed from the moment I tried this. Other products I've tried from The Ordinary have been great. The packaging is nice, and I love pump bottles for foundation. But the product is less than stellar. I have a lot of pigmentation issues and I was surprised that a foundation describing itself as full coverage could be so lacking. I have a lot of pigmentation issues, but there are foundations out there that cover it, (Sheiseido, Makeup Forever, Laura Mercier). This didn't even come close and as I worked it into my skin it almost disappeared. It almost seemed more like a BB cream in its consistency. It was light, but not very pigmented and it almost seemed oily.

For the shade I chose, 1.1N, it was also very yellow.

Wrong color but goes on great.

Very happy with the feel and coverage but I picked too light a shade. Ordered 2.0. Will use lighter shade for highlighter. All in all, very pleased. Can't beat the price.

Didnt live up to the hype.

It is a good affordable foundation for everyday use but doest replace any of my high end foundations. Its pretty but its not longwearing.

Not for very oily skin

I was excited to try this product, as my skincare regimen consists primarily of products by The Ordinary, and not having blemishes, I was looking forward to the possibility of wearing a lighter feeling foundation. I purchased shades 1.1N and 1.2N.

Unfortunately, from the moment of application, this foundation looked blotchy and oily on my chin, cheeks, nose, and forehead - everywhere I have oily skin. I applied the foundation using different modes of application, thinking perhaps it was simply incompatible with the foundation brush I use (Bobbi Brown), so I also tried my BeautyBlender, and my fingers. The result was still a slick mess. I tried both the 1.1N and 1.2N, again - same result. I initially used The Ordinary's own silicone primer, since I expected it to have the greatest compatibility. I subsequently attempted application over different sections of my face, using different primers - Hourglass's Veil, Cover FX, and Smashbox Photo Finish (my staples for long-wearing hold on foundation) - and the result was still awful. The foundation was uneven and refused to fill my pores, and instead gathered around them, accentuating them. I tried everything, but could not get the foundation to make my face look like anything other than a blotchy oil slick. My skin looked far better bare!

I also noticed that, after application, the foundation looked more yellow-orange because the product had oxidized. It also did not layer/correct well. If you attempt to fix it with powder or to apply a second layer of product, it just cakes.

For the record, I can apply my Estee Lauder Doublewear Light, Armani Luminous Silk, MAC Studio Fix Fluid, Chanel Teint Lumiere, Clinique, Tarte BB, and La Roche-Posay BB creams with my fingers and still get a flawless finish over any one of my silicone or non-silicone primers. They also all set well with loose powder (Laura Mercier).

What the foundation did work well on was the skin on my neck and jawline near my ears. However, even there I found it to be highly transferrable.

I think this product does genuinely work well for people with largely flawless, drier skin. The coverage is light to medium (neck test), definitely not full coverage or even a strong medium. If you have very oily skin, it is highly unlikely to apply properly, let alone stay on your skin. It's disappointing, but at least the product was not at all expensive.

Could be better

Right off the bat it was very yellow which I wasn’t expecting. It apples dewy and oxidized semi-matte, not super-matte though. By the end of the day my oils shine through and the coverage isn’t ful without a few layers. It is a very thin foundation so it doesn’t feel heavy on your skin, but it doesn’t hold all day and the matte finish doesn’t stay on my T-Zone. I ordered the primer to go with it and it doesn’t change much. I plan on using it until I’m out, but probably won’t buy it again. The packaging was super cute though and overall it’s worth the price
