Fantastic
This foundation gives me a gorgeous colour and dewy glow. It's really buildable and given the price point has become my everyday go to. 2.0n is perfect for me and I've always found it hard in the past to find shades that are not too pink. Buying 2 or 3 more.

Brilliant Price - Fantastic Colour
So being very fair I can NEVER find a foundation that matches my skin I bought 1.0 N Very Fair and it matches!!! I do not like using a full coverage foundation so this is ideal. I also have very dry very sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts, (and with a good moisturiser as a base) this is a brilliant foundation for my skin type. I only use 1 pump to cover my whole face and any areas I still want to cover I use concealer. It has ok staying power, wearing it for a work day it does settle a little bit and wears off a bit but a quick smudge and tap action with clean hands sets it back in place. It does not even oxidize badly, which is always something to watch out for. I would highly recommend especially for this price tag!

Disaster
I love the Ordinary products and had high expectations for this foundation, but it turned out to be a total disaster. It's hard to spread and looks like a mask. What can I say is there're lots of better foundations for that price.

So many compliments!
I've only been using this for a few days, and all of the women in my team have commented on how good my skin looks. I've wanted to get my hands on this for a while and am so happy I did. both this, and the full coverage, work perfectly for my combination skin. I find the coverage is perfect for what I need day-to-day. I would definitely recommend if like me, your skin is usually well behaved and you're looking for a soft, dewy finish.

Oxidises :(
Applies beautifully upon initial application, but as it dries (experienced this with shade 2.1Y) it oxidises darker and is orangey.

Best foundation ever
Considering the price, this is the most amazing foundation I have ever tried. I have dry skin and this feels so light and moisturising on my face. I have tried most drugstore and high end foundations and this is almost as good as Lancôme but with less coverage. It's light but build-able and would be good as an everyday foundation. Also Cult Beauty always offers the best service, arrived promptly.

LOVE THIS
I have recently discovered The Ordinary, and I love it - it works for my skin and the price is great. Was really excited to try this and the colour chart really helped! I have 2.0y medium. It's a very moisturizing lightweight foundation which is what I need - I don't need much coverage, and gives a very natural look and glow. I bought some for a friend and she loves it. I recommend.

READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
Firstly, I would like to say this is a very light coverage foundation which is what i need for my skin (if you are looking for a high coverage stay away). For those saying its like water, it clearly states you need to shake before use, once shook its the perfect light weight consistency. Leaves a satin finish with a slight glow however still looks amazing once powdered for a matte finish. Mine is in the shade 1.1p (fair with pink undertones) and suit me perfectly. Overall highly recommend for low coverage gals like myself.
