The Ordinary Coverage Foundation with SPF 15 by The Ordinary Colours 30ml (Various Shades) Customer Reviews

On The Fence

Really love how light weight this foundation is & a little goes a long was as the formula is quite thin. I did however find that the coverage is far from full & it's slightly on the orange side. I found using a damp beauty blender helped blend out the colour some & i got a reasonable result with a nice semi-matte finish. I didnt find it particularly buildable so if you want a solid full cover foundation, i wouldn't opt for this.. But if your happy to work at it a little & want a lightwieght foundation with a natural glowy finish & the added benefit of some spf then this for the price is a good buy.

Not full coverage at all!

Bought this foundation as it boasted 'high coverage', this is not the case at all! I've tried many, many foundations from high end to high street and this is one of the worse 'full coverage' foundations I have used. Very watery consistency and just moves around your face rather than providing any actual coverage. Applied a powder over the top to see if that helped but that made it worse! Highlighted every pore, wrinkle and imperfection on my face! If you want a very light, almost invisible foundation then this is for you....not full coverage at all!

Great coverage

I brought this as I wanted a high coverage foundation that didn’t cost too much. I have ysl all hours which isn’t cheap. And I actually prefer this one, it stays on long enough and covers most of my acne scars and blemishes. Will defiantly buy again

Not Great

The coverage is really good, and the formula feels silky and smooth, and blends easily. But even the slightest hint of dry skin (even with a layer of moisturiser and a layer of primer) causes the formulation to look cakey and uneven. It also oxidises throughout the day, leaving me looking darker/more orange than when I left the house. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't buy again, unfortunately!

Good for the price BUT...

I have very pale combination skin - my skin is mostly very dry with some oily patches under my eyes and my chin. I moisturised well before applying this foundation and set my eyes with my normal under eye powder. The review - the foundation holds up quite well and had a nice matte but not cakey finish and held up well with quite good coverage with only 2/3 pumps for my face. HOWEVER, just a warning that the foundation shifted under my eyes and on my chin to settle in my creases - so I would not recommend to those with oily skin as I think it might shift, but if you wish to try it I suggest using a very good setting powder all over the face. For those with dry skin like myself I think that it’s a must to moisturise properly before use. All in all: Really good foundation overall for the price, but you will have to work with it a little. I bought the lightest shade for my pale skin and it was a nice match. I do reccomend this foundation but only to those willing to work with it.

Oxidizes

I bought 1.ON - Very Fair Neutral, cause I`m pale. The color matches, but oxidizes after few minutes making my face orange. Pretty disappointing.

Disappointed

I bought this after seeing the reviews but I'm so disappointed. I bought the light-medium as light is normally to pale for me but this is so dark and gave me an orange face. It's far to thin and watery. I normally love the ordinary products but this was a let down. It's not full coverage more like a tint.

Insane foundation for an even better price

Does exactly what it says on the bottle it’s high coverage but not thick or sticky. I usually use mac/Estée Lauder but I will be swapping and using this from now on, SO good!!

Good

Excellent coverage only if you use a face cream under it, then you need the tiniest dot of foundation. It lasts well and looks good, but remember just the tiniest dot - it goes a long way!
