This foundation is my FAVOURITE at the moment. It’s full coverage, it feels so good on my skin, my skin looks flawless and you only need a little bit to go a long way! I also like that it doesn’t have an awfully strong smell as chemically products make my skin breakout so bad but this doesn’t at all! The fact it is so cheap amazes me because it’s so great.

Fantastic price but that’s were my happiness ends. I found it made my face look quite greasy & it looked patchy around my nose. Coverage was ok on the rest of my face but didn’t last very long. Wasn’t impressed sadly

This is a beautiful everyday foundation. I would say its more of a high medium coverage than full, but I find it does a pretty good job of covering my acne with a little help from some concealer. I have worn this for 9 hours and it still looks beautiful at the end of the day. My oils do come through, but it doesn't separate or slide off. I wish I'd tried this sooner

This foundation gives a good amount of coverage and goes on very smooth. It isn’t thick and heavy either. They have a range of good shades as well, really good as I struggle to find lighter shades

As a brown women it is very difficult to find foundations with the right undertones and shade but I really feel as if the ordinary have got it spot on from ranges to shades to undertones. I use 2.1y as I am very yellow and it really does cover up my scars and blemishes

This is a really nice foundation. I have the shade 1.0N. I usually mix with another foundation as there isn’t quite enough coverage but I really like the undertone and the staying power.

This feels like single cream and I don’t think it will give me the coverage I want. I am wrong this foundation blends well using either my fingers or my damp BeautyBlender. It tones down the redness in my cheeks and nose without hiding my freckles. It evens out my skin and doesn’t sit in any fine lines that I have. My skin does not feel as if I have any foundation on and lasts all day with or without using a primer underneath. I like the fact that if I want to build coverage in areas I want without it looking thick or moving the foundation I have already applied. It has a semi- matte finish which I love as it looks natural without looking cakey. I love the fact that I can use the same colour in both the Serum and Coverage without having to remember what the colour is called. Because of the formula there maybe two or three shades that I can wear but I haven’t tried YET! Re-purchase them – yes of course they are the best foundation that I have found.

This foundation is lovely. It's so affordable and the shade range is amazing. It is full coverage and lasts all day however it leaves a satin finish rather than matte but by using a mattifying powder this can be fixed. It's not cakey at all and I never really notice I have makeup on my face because it feels so lightweight! My only issue with this foundation is that it does oxidise a slight bit so I'd recommend getting one shade lighter than your skin colour but for the price you really can't complain! A bonus is that is cruelty free! Amazing ❤️

I was bought this foundation for Christmas and it is so full coverage and long lasting. The finish is more satin/dewy however if you apply powder it becomes matte (obviously). Although I've said this foundation is very full coverage, it doesn't feel cakey in the slightest and it looks like your skin but better and flawless. It also lasts throughout the whole day even if you have oily skin, like me 😊
