About this deal

Whether with a buffing brush, or a beauty sponge, the foundation is easy to work with, blend, and wears well on the skin. We had our staffers try the two different formulas—the lightweight Serum Foundation and the more pigmented Coverage Foundation—to give their honest opinions. My skin is very dry and has some redness, so I like a really moisturizing formula I can top with powder for maximum longevity. The Ordinary recommends use only if you are an experienced user of acid exfoliation and your skin is not sensitive. Like its partner, the coverage foundation, this doesn't wear very well on me, which is to be expected with the sheerer finish.

These foundations contain higher pigment levels than the Serum Foundations but still offer a smooth finish that avoids the heavy makeup look that can make skin appear more aged. This protection is achieved without the use of chemical sunscreens and only through physical protection from Titanium Dioxide. The Ordinary has grown its cult following over the past few years thanks to its affordable and effective skin care products.

The coverage was nice, and it felt good when I applied it with my L'Oréal Artist Infallible blender, which I love for its smooth finish. The following insights have been gained from readers who have tried this shade and how well it matches their skin tone and undertones. You could do that with these but if you're looking for full heavy coverage that would defeat the purpose. I find that I will need to set this with powder otherwise, it will end up looking both dewy and glowy (thanks to its gold highlights) which could be a recipe for disaster. Measure around the slimmest part of your natural waistline - above your navel and below your ribcage.

They are very low in viscosity and are dispensed with the supplied pump or with the optional glass dropper available for purchase separately if preferred.I prefer the serum formula for its flexibility and because I prefer a bit of a see-through finish so my skin can be seen. I wore the serum formula all day and noticed that my midday oily T-zone didn't sabotage my complexion as much — it held up (but also rubbed off on my napkin at lunch, so it's not bulletproof).

I was very pleased to see that it was silicone free because that is one of those ingredients that I simply cannot use on a regular basis. Thoughts: When in doubt, I always pick the lightest option and this foundation shade is described as "very fair, pink undertones"—that's me in a nutshell.

I have oily/combo skin with some redness and breakouts, it doesn't fully cover blemishes but I dab some concealer on and I'm fine. Serum Foundations are lightweight medium-coverage formulations available in a comprehensive shade range across 21 shades. If there was a holy trinity to judge a foundation’s quality, it would be colour match, wear-time and coverage.

Please note that the formulations are and will be the same in all markets but the packaging will claim SPF 15 only in the European Union while regulatory processes for claiming SPF in other markets are carried out individually. the foundation gives a very natural slowly finish, almost like you're not applying foundation at all.
