I've been using the new coveted and extremely affordable The Ordinary Coverage Foundation for the past week. I have also been pairing it with The Ordinary High-Spreadability Fluid Primer. I thought I'd share my thoughts on both products (but a more detailed review on the foundation).
The Ordinary has recently released two new foundations - serum foundation and coverage foundation (I have ordered the serum one and I'm waiting for my order to be fulfilled). As its name suggests, The Ordinary Coverage Foundation is a higher coverage foundation of the two. In fact, it is described as a high coverage foundation.
The Ordinary describes the coverage foundation as:
"The texture is that of a lightweight, non-oily cream.
The pigments used in these formulations are treated for a rich, highly-saturated effect. These pigments are suspended in our proprietary spreadability system that allows pigments to look natural on the skin, resist collecting within fine lines and stay on for longer. The foundations offer a semi-matte finish and are compatible with most primers and are designed to work exceptionally well with the primers offering from The Ordinary."
I agree with the claims that The Ordinary has made thus far. It is a fairly high coverage foundation. Certainly not as high as Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able foundation, but high enough to even out skin tone, and cover most blemishes (see photos below).
It is packaged in a plastic bottle with a lockable pump dispensing top, making it super travel friendly.
I use my fingers to apply this foundation, and it is easily spreadable, so application is a breeze.
It also does dry down to a semi-matte finish. However, as with all liquid foundations, I like to set with a powder.
