'Ordinary' foundation - any good?

[lovechildofLordFarquaad]

I've heard this foundation is very good and it's v reasonably priced. Has anyone used it? Any feedback? Also, I am a warm skin tone with olive skin. Would I need the one with yellow tones or red tones? I am confused!

[SirRaymondLuxuryYacht]

I've actually just tried the serum one today. It's ok but nothing special. I prefer Maybelline fit me which I usually use.
The shades are really confusing, maybe email them with a pic.

Good suggestion, thanks -yes j couldn't work it out and not much info to go by!

The yellows are very very yellow be warned.
I used the Wayne Goss vlog to choose my colour and got it spectacularly wrong.
It's problem best going for a shade in neutral if they do that. Coverage was fine though. I bought 2 colours and both are unused.

It’s not bad but the one I ordered was too light so I ended up mixing it with another foundation, also found it oxidises badly on my nose but for the price it’s ok

I was disappointed

[Nicketynac]

I bought the serum and coverage ones as they were so cheap. I have very oily t-zone and variable cheeks.
The coverage one was like a mask on me, could not get it to blend nicely at all and it sat horribly around my eyes.
The serum one felt nicer but needed a lot of work to blend, settled a bit in pores and looked pretty rubbish after a few hours. I'm not sure if I could have made it work by trying different primers and setting powders but it wasn't that great to start with.

[SirRaymondLuxuryYacht]

The serum one really settled in my pores too. I've got the coverage but not tried it yet.
Think I fell for the hype and much prefer my Maybelline fit me or Bourjois one.

Completely underwhelmed, made worse by three months of chasing to receive my order* Oxodised no matter which of their primers I used.

• The Ordinary customer service is terrible, I've had two orders and both have been months late on delivery... I rate their skincare but dealing with them gives me more wrinkles.somewhat defeats the purpose

[lovechildofLordFarquaad]

Not exactly rave reviews here! I read that it had a huge waiting list at one point, which made me think it must be good ( I am just a marketers dream basically!) Queen, they sell some through Asos if you want to avoid Ordinary customer service? Thanks to you all for reviews!

[BeerBaby]

Not as good as bourjour healthy mix serum.

[PhyllisWig]

Exactly what beer baby said

[lovechildofLordFarquaad]

Thanks, I will try the bourgeois one I think

[cuirderussie]

Too thin and watery and too matte and dead looking once applied. The fairest colour made me look like death. Back to my Estee Lauder Double Wear!

[Softkitty2]

I have the sheer one and become VERY oily by the end of the day. Also oxidises really bad

[lovechildofLordFarquaad]

They must have an awesome marketing department to create the hype!
