The variety of shades alone makes this a great option. Never mind the fabulous price. And awesome coverage. It plays well with other mixers such as natural sunblocks or mineral highlighters. My...

I quite like this foundation, and find the coverage to be medium to full depending how much you build up and how you apply it. One absolute positive for me is that 1.2YG is the perfect match to my...

I love The Ordinary line of skincare. With that said, this company should stick to skincare and not makeup. This foundation is HORRID! Not only does it not apply well (tried it with fingers,...
