The Ordinary Foundation

I saw this in the Allure newsletter. They will be launching a new foundation that has over 25,000 on a waitlist. Can't believe the ingredients & low price. Are you on the waitlist? I am. Can't wait to try it. Wish they had the colors on their website.

I guess they also have skincare. I have never heard of the company.

Anyone try any of their products? TIA

I am using the Buffet, Alpha Arbutin and the lactic acid. So far, after about a month, I'm impressed. Good ingredients and you can't beat the price. Lots of stuff on YouTube about them. Didn't know they were coming out with a foundation!

@Nightowlz I know of the company and a foundation sounds interesting. Did it say if it had SPF in it? What kind of coverage? TIA!

Hello everyone,

I know enough about this to try it. I have a normal to dry skin so that was why I was so interested.

The SPF is 15 if I remember correctly.

NAES.

Is this Jessica Albas line? I hope so.

No. Her line is called The Honest Company. Honest Beauty is her makeup and skincare line.

SPF 15, two formulas: one less coverage and one heavier coverage. Lots of shades also. Is launching mid April. I'm on the waitlist. Waitlist is actually a notication when it's available list.

FYI for those intersted- directly from the company. Glad to hear no chemical sunscreen!

"Colours has (or debatably have) arrived! All 42 of them! Colours is an evolving collection of colour formulations from The Ordinary. The offering begins with lightweight Serum Foundations and highly-pigmented Coverage Foundations with each form available in a comprehensive shade range across 21 shades. Serum Foundations are very low in viscosity and offer moderate coverage that looks natural with a very lightweight serum feel. Coverage Foundations contain higher pigment levels in a non-oily cream texture but still offer a smooth finish that avoids the heavy makeup look that can make skin appear more aged. The pigments used in both formats 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. Both formulations offer SPF 15 protection that's mineral-based and avoid the use of chemical sunscreens entirely. The formulations are and will be the same in all markets but the packaging will claim SPF 15 only in the European Union initially while regulatory processes for claiming SPF in other markets are carried out individually. Serum Foundations: £5.70 (UK)/$6.70 (US/CA); Coverage Foundations: £5.90 (UK)/$6.90 (US/CA). (Hint 1: it's April 1st. Hint 2: Monkeys are always late. Hint 3: It's all coming mid April because everyone wanted pumps instead of droppers and caps 🙈) 🐒❤️"
