2.1 Y Medium - I love it!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really love this foundation. It stays on all day on my oily skin, it doesn't break me out and it gives me amazing coverage (I always use a primer underneath my foundation and set it though). This shade is extremely yellow though, at first I thought it was completely wrong for me but once I used it I made it work and fell in love with it.A little bit goes a long way! For that price, I will repurchase again and again.

Love The Ordinary but ..

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

I know they used a team of scientists to develop this — but not dermatologists apparently. The color slips off your face and it's not really covering properly. By the end of the day, it's a big mess. Gets stuck in your dry spots and slips on the oily parts...so no.

Not for me

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

Ordered the Medium Y but I looked orange. I'm naturally quite tanned but the yellow undertone is too much. I also found it difficult to apply.

Good but not great

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I read all the reviews and was excited about this product, I ordered 1.2N and when it came I have to say that it was a fantastic colour match for my skin, I used my porefessional primer and put on my foundation, it went on easy, blended well and looked good. After about 3-4 hours I checked it and it had separated slightly so I decided to wash it off, took ages to wash off and had to cleanse twice. Today I used my Smashbox Primer and out the foundation on, it was harder to blend today and after an hour of wearing my glasses it had all separated on my nose and I was left with horrible looking make up. Tomorrow I'll try it without any primer and see how it looks but if it separates again then it will be a bummer.

Really good

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

As a very fair person with neutral undertones, it is very difficult to find a foundation that matches. 1.0N is perfect for me, whereas the lightest shades of the most foundation have pink undertones and the next shade up is too dark for me, this was amazing. The coverage is really good and once set with a mattifying powder it does not budge.

1.1 N Fair

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I bought this due to the price and hearing good things about the brand. Foundations are hard to fit with my skin - I have a lot of creasing and lines, but I was glad to discover that this one does not settle into these lines very quickly, and once set doesn't tend to at all. I have noticed that it can become flaky around my nose after a long day and stay there, even once I've taken it off. Overall, it's a lovely product and has a buildable coverage.

Next level

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

On to my 3rd bottle of this and I absolutely love it. Light weight and full coverage, and I’ve never found it to be drying or oily. I use 2.1 Y and it’s the perfect colour match for me. Now I’ve been using this, I wouldn’t go back to anything else.

Blotchy but full coverage

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I found this very hard to apply. I've tried it with both of the ordinary primers, and on it's own. It applies extremely blotchy (refuses to apply between my eyebrows and the tops of my cheeks), and clings to dry spots. where it does stick, the coverage is great.

Bitchin' Everyday Foundation

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've got 3D acne and an oily t-zone, which is sometimes also a bit dry and flaky due to the medicated products I use. I apply this in the mornings with a sponge (sometimes after the ordinary's fluid primer), and it's such a good match for my skin tone that I don't need to cover my whole face. I've been using this for three months, now. This won't remove 100% of your redness, (I use Nars radiance concealer on my more vivid blemishes beforehand), and this isn't something to slather on, as a thick layer does degrade on your face. However, if you want even but not unnaturally perfect looking skin, especially in bright daylight or harsh office lighting, then two light layers of this over a concealer can deliver that no matter what your skin texture. It will fade after about 7 hours, but in a way that doesn't settle into dry skin patches or pores, and is easy to reapply on top of. This product also doesn't dry down very fast, so I use a setting spray on top. Pros: Perfect match, won't stick to dry skin, non-comedogenic, lovely texture (not flat matte - more of a velvet), price point, pump works well, photographs evenly. Cons: not fullest coverage, can't be used in thick layers. doesn't dry down for about an hour.

Blistered and Burnt

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

I bought this foundation after seeing loads of YouTubers raving about it. The first day I got it I was so excited to try it out, I was quite surprised about the coverage as it was better than I thought however less than 3 hours later it has separated across my whole face, I got home to take it off and whilst washing my face with the makeup remover I always use, my face started to burn, god I nearly cried it was so sore. I then discovered my face had blistered and burned due to this foundation and I am now on the 5th day where I cannot put any product on my face without it burning and my skin is now peeling off. Oh and it also broke me out in cystic acne. Do not recommend this to anyone.
