Best. Foundation. Ever.
I had low expectations of such a well-priced product. How wrong I was!! I bought two colours. 2.0 and 1.2. I originally just had the 2.0 but it was a touch too dark, 1.2 was too light. Mixed together...perfect. I suffer from really bad facial redness due to spider veins. I have tried pretty much everything to disguise and this foundation is the only thing that covers, stays put and looks natural. I have also tried the Ordinary Coverage foundation, but the serum sits better on my skin and lasts so much longer. Especially when teamed with the High spreadability serum primer. I feel beautiful when I'm wearing this. Extraordinary stuff from the Ordinary. Love you guys. Keep up the good work.

Lovely natural foundation
Lovely light-medium coverage with a really nice skin-like finish. Will be purchasing again and would really recommend for everyday usage! I bought 1.1N and wear Fenty beauty 120 for shade comparison.

Update to my last...
Okay, okay, I admit I have incredibly dry skin. And I can't hold that against a product! Since my last review, I've switched to using just one pump of this in with my morning moisturiser and underneath my powder. It mixes so well, somehow offers more coverage, and I'm loving the result. Out of interest, I tried the same with my previous foundation and somehow came out looking bright orange. I'm very happy with this product, now. Don't think I've ever used foundation this habitually!

Not drying + super-pigmented
Got the 2.1 Y Medium, matches my south-east Asian olive-y skin tone really well. My skin looks less dull as it adds a slightly yellow tint to it, giving a nice golden overall tone without having to use a bronzer. I have combination skin and use this after toner, serum and/or dry oil (winter months). You have to shake it pretty well to ensure coverage but it glides on smoothly and doesn't feel dry after it sets. Just a pump is enough for a light-medium coverage. Will definitely purchase again.

Amazing
I LOVE this so, so much! The coverage is so natural and light, I can't feel it on my face and it goes very well with natural freckles like mine. It doesn't leave a strange finish like other foundations would on my freckles and my skin feels and looks really soft with this on. Would buy again, amazing price as well.

Love it
I have the coverage foundation too and I love this one just as much! I’ve started using this one on a daily basis for a more natural look, even though it says it’s light coverage I would say it’s medium and very buildable. So lightweight and doesn’t separate or cling to dry patches.

Wow
Arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to try this on, I bought this for daily use cause it’s cult product at the same time the price is very low compared to the quality. I use Mac, make up forever , Estée Lauder foundation and I was looking for a cheap alternative, and omg after trying this on, I couldn’t believe, it was so so good. Highly recommended.

I love it
Bought the 2.0 YG and it’s perfect for my medium-fair-yellow skin tone. It gives the perfect not caky covering and I really like the light powdery finish.

I'll keep trying
I don't know whether it was the branding or what, but I fell for this one and I'm really annoyed I did. It feels lovely when it's going on but it very quickly gets very dry and I'm not sure at all about the coverage and colour options. I'm going to try mixing it in with my moisturiser from now on to see if that improves results. Probably a good option for people with skin on the oilier side, who only want sheer / buildable coverage.
