My Review
I haven’t used The Ordinary Serum Foundation in years, but it is a nice light and dewy foundation that is well suited to drier skin types.
I really liked the finish of this foundation. It gives a decent coverage considering how light the texture is and it gives the skin a lovely, juicy look.
It’s great for dry skin, although you may want to set it with powder if you have combination or oily skin. This foundation is so affordable. I think it was £5.70 when it first launched, and the relaunch price is £6.40, so it has barely gone up since it launched. You can always trust The Ordinary and Deciem for fair pricing.
If you’re interested in checking out a newer foundation launch, I have been loving the one from Anastasia. For more information on that, read: Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second Skin Matte Foundation Review & Swatches.
