Hi I'm Tati from GlamLifeGuru, thank you for watching my video, please be sure to check out my collection of makeup videos where you'll find my best beauty tips, tricks and favorites on everything from top luxury cosmetics to my favorite drugstore makeup. Whether you're looking for a new product review, tutorial, beauty tip, haul or perhaps even a giveaway, I hope you enjoy watching.

[@juleso.5906]

I've been using this foundation for months along with the High Adherence primer from The Ordinary and the Poreless primer from Tarte, and it's done wonders for me. I agree with the top comments - this isn't a fair review. She knows that she's oily, she should have used a different primer.

[@angelaanaconda55]

I agree, it works excellent for me.

[@amnika2536]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@angelica-ru3ug]

Is the primer also good for dry skin?

[@juleso.5906]

@@angelica-ru3ug I've used it on people with dry skin and they loved it! A couple of them actually bought it to use at home. The Ordinary described the High Adherence primer as a primer and a moisturizer, so it's definitely nourishing for dry skin. However, I still use a moisturizer before applying it.

[@angelica-ru3ug]

@@juleso.5906 Thank you very much, i will definitely test it out.

[@aayushaneupane5242]

Does anyone hate how foundation looks up close?? I can't stand it, it look so flawless on the makeup gurus, but when you look at a normal person's foundation, it looks really gross. Just me????

[@Itsokay222]

Aayusha Neupane same thats why i refuse to wear it

[@sjenettt]

This one is perfect! Its the best foundation I found in the 15 years im wearing foundation

[@jill552]

I’m with you. I always wonder if I have unrealistic expectations. I have to say that most makeup salespeople look terrible up close, too.

[@Amusegirl1980]

Bad foundation and bad application. 😂😂😂

[@RujinaMukit99]

Just remember that makeup gurus have professional cameras with studio lighting everywhere to make their skin look flawless, in real life it looks like everyone’s else’s, don’t be so hard on yourself x

[@Vexiarla]

everyone needs to do what Nikkia does and do a 3 day test with foundations. 1 with primer and powder sold from the same brand, 2 with your favourite primer and powder and 3 with another set of primer and powder

[@IsadorasMusic]

I wish more influencers would do a FULL review of foundations where if they think the primer etc is the problem, they test it out and really see. This is a cliff hanger and that drives me. I wouldn’t want the second attempt to be in a different video either. I just want it all in one video. Yes it would take longer to film and edit but it would be wayyy more worth it. Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets annoyed by this...

[@joannej_Youtube]

I agree. First impressions need follow ups!

[@dimik7488]

Take a look at Nikkia Joy she does foundation reviews over 3 days and tries them with different primers. Its also in the one Video.

[@Future-zx9ts]

IsadorasMusic you’re not the only one

[@kristinanewton5012]

Angie at Hot and Flashy tests foundations over a period of days but includes all results in one video. I highly recommend her channel for people with mature skin also.

[@saranicolek16]

IsadorasMusic seriously. At least do a half and half face

[@calicat1996]

TIP: if you're going to test out a primer too, only prime half your face that way we can see the comparison throughout the day :)

[@MM-dd6ro]

good idea

[@leahkartsonakis6030]

Anna Mantel i was so confused but then I️ realized a lot of the comments are deleted😂

[@LuisaCarrera_]

Exactly, lol

[@theflowerhead]

Leah Kartsonakis Did I miss something?

[@Mysticglass]

I use my go to primer on one side and the ‘new’ primer on the other

[@leono7380]

The Ordinary is NOT a fail it´s just not from morphe LOL

[@ninarozenrad]

LMAO facts.

[@amnika2536]

Leo No 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@manilakarki6065]

hahahhahaha gurl yassss

[@blackberievioletta4901]

actually i was just testing this product and i have exytremly dry skin and didnt use the primer i used a different primer and i had the same issues i was wondering if it was just me or my primer but maybe it just doesnt work for everyone?

[@standonit5045]

I think it’s the silicone I always get creasing when I use silicone primer maybe it’s just me idk 😐

[@JulesKM]

I agree with many of the other people who have commented. It's not a fair foundation review if you're testing it with a primer you've never tried before. I'd really like to see you test out this foundation with a primer you know that you like.

[@selenethenew007]

Julie McLean she stated she was going to

[@lorencappelson6475]

right she should have tested with not a new primer, to keep that as a control so she could be sure any issues were related to the foundation only.

[@Ndstars1]

Yeah but to be fair, it's a primer made by the same company that makes the foundation. It's a pretty safe bet.

[@Mlpgirl168]

she messed this up then offered a strong suggestion to not use it if u have oily skin...compounding her mistake 😐

[@juleso.5906]

Why is it that Tati always tests out new foundations with her favorite primer, but this one she didn't?

[@catywaffle8544]

Jules O. Why would you even try out new foundations with a primer? Doesn’t that have an impact on the real finish of the make up

[@juleso.5906]

Typically in foundation reviews, the person will put primer on one half of their face and keep the other half bare. That way they can see how the foundation wears with and without a primer. But she used a primer (that she never used before) all over her face.

[@XYZ-us3ri]

clock it da haussss

[@mariangely9546]

Caty Waffle if you use primer in your daily makeup routine, why wouldn’t you? 🤔

[@lili-zv8zi]

Idk maybe because it was released at the same time

[@SiriusScientist]

I tried the Serum Foundation recently and have never had so many compliments on my skin. I thought the consistency was super watery when I first swatched, and was worried I was between shades, but once blended out it was a nice light to medium coverage that looked like my skin but so much better. No issues with powders or other creams when combined, though I did re-powder around the middle of the day. Total wear was 10 hours, including time in a respirator at work, with no real issues. It did transfer on my face PPE, but still looked great even after a long, active, day in lab. I do home you'll try the Serum version with your normal primer (I've tried with primers and just with a good moisturizer with similar results, and my skin in oily combination).

[@nixayp]

SiriusScientist I love it too!!

[@nataliexoxo4386]

Me too. I have both, this foundation she reviewed is amazing on my skin. I use the serum foundation for daily wear, and the coverage for special occaisions. I haven't bought the ordinary primers tho..

[@SiriusScientist]

natalie xoxo I haven't tried the primers either. I stick with Smashbox or a good moisturizer, as those are the only two things that don't tend to irritate my sensitive skin.

[@Lexi71155]

SiriusScientist Just wanna say hey to a fellow lab lady! The stuggle to find a foundation that looks great after PPE use, long hours and in heinous fluorescent lighting is soooo real!

[@SiriusScientist]

Ali Cat It really is! Shoes are another complicated part of lab life!

[@lisagrrera]

Tati PLEASE do a do over with this foundation, their primers have mixed reviews and it's not entirely fair to judge a foundation when the primer you're using is new too! Use the scientific method if you're gonna be a makeup investigator. Isolate a single variable and keep everything else "constant." That way since you know how the rest of your makeup preforms we know that the problem is with the new thing you're trying rather than something else.

[@elizabethflorentino]

10000000% agree with you.

[@jayharker]

I ordered that primer way back in April along with the foundations. Settled for using the other Ordinary primer first, and when I checked back on the high spreadability one, it shrunk in volume without anyone using it or even opening it. Others have said the same. Weeeeeeeeird.

[@thelmafrayne623]

EXACTLY what I was thinking!

[@ashley-jl6yb]

jayharker yeah the primer has a ridiculous short life span

[@ElizabethGroves97]

Agreed. I hated it with this primer but with a different primer or no primer at all, it doesn't crease or slide around. I have fairly normal, balanced skin now though after getting into a good skincare regimen that works for me.

[@ld-23]

Yes I agree with most of the comments here!! This foundation is awesome but not the primer. Maybe they were made to support each other but in reality NOPE! I'm over 40 and this primer shows every flaws and just made any foundation looking worse. The foundation actually is a holygrail for me and i chose it over my $85 Shiseido foundation or the new Fenty foundation. THIS FOUNDATION IS AWESOME! Honestly!✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

[@XYZ-us3ri]

CLOCK IT DA HAUSSSS

[@cashmeresutel1793]

L Dharmadi I have to agree, I found the foundation actually very mattifying on its own so be careful this formula really picks up what you put under

[@AussieChick48]

L Dharmadi Tati should have bought the silicone primer from The Ordinary. The one she bought is for drier, more mature skin.

[@iChillypepper]

Have you tried it with the silicone primer? Or no primer? Any tips? I got some as a gift and now I’m scared to use it lol Thanks L Dharmadi

[@ld-23]

Cashmere Sutel really?? I dunno...I don't really see it that way. Maybe because the shade I've got is 2YG. it's the one with gold reflection so it looks like a natural finish on me

[@koco1417]

I LOVE the foundation. I'm VERY pale and the lightest shade is the closest match to my skin tone. I've never had a foundation be so close to my fair skin. I have dry skin and I still set my face and it lasts all day. I LOVE it.

[@amberallen9287]

Ordinary should make a long wearing foundation. I'm glad u reviewed this. I was really interested in both the primer and foundation. But now I don't think it's for me.

[@twoforjoyspirit8699]

Amber Allen I was already looking at their website an hr ago. I'm waiting to see when they release their new watercolor range inc a matte foundation.

[@clodie8297]

Two For Joy Spirit I think the Watercolor foundation will be available in December

[@tabathiagaskin7992]

Try the primer!!! Just don't use their foundation with it. I use it every day and I like it almost better than the SmashBox photo finish primer :)

[@jadedjadejay]

Yes, try it with your fave primer!!

[@SUNSHINE-tx9vf]

jadedjadejay did she ever try it and show?

[@clairestar3611]

you should test it again with a different primer! If it does work then it would be amazing to find a longwearing affordable foundation with a dewy finish and thats also full coverage. it sounds like my personal dream lol

[@vomitdev]

bear in mind it’s very inexpensive it’s about £6 for a bottle

[@majutsu0212]

I've been using this or my milani foundation during the day for months. If you have drier skin or combo is fantastic. The primer is horrible underneath it for some odd reason. It is dewy but I like that. Definitely worth a try! It does oxidise a touch. I'm a vanilla in milani and a 1.2n in the ordinary. Oh, make sure it's not the serum foundation when you order 😉

[@lauraj2294]

Omg you need the la girl foundation

[@roqui3675]

Emma Tierney what's wrong with the serum foundation?

[@kgkourtzi]

LA girl luminous foundation is my fav, I love it

[@BeBlessed56]

Thanks for buying the darker shades, Tati. It makes me feel represented and loved. Happy holidays to you, James and you PUP! 💜

[@Tati]

I'm always so happy to show off a great shade range! So glad you enjoyed it! xo's

[@ryanelisabethharvey1242]

So amazing Tati bought those shades 😍😍😍! From personal use though the undertones are off in the dark shades and it was bad for my oily skin

[@honeyyb]

I love that that's important to her and she's very critical about it bc so many other "gurus" don't even mention it

[@domeatown]

I like that she bought it because I am pale as hell, and no foundation is ever light enough. When people talk about the darkest shades, that's a cue to me that the company went all-out and I might find something for me! We all win when people think about shades other than "medium tan!"

[@ElizabethGroves97]

Lum-Bih Tashi My daughters are super pale & the 1.0 shades are about the only foundation in the drugstore price range I've ever found to match them flawlessly.

[@MsCiara17]

I got the serum foundation and the coverage foundation and I cannot stand the coverage one! It slides off my skin after a few hours which never happens with any other foundation but the serum foundation is my HOLY GRAIL! I have combination skin and work as a spa therapist (so I'm around a lot of oil and heat) but it stays put and looks great throughout the whole day and it literally blends like a dream! 😍

[@olliesfave6967]

Ciara Leavy I just bought the coverage one and I'm not into it. I don't think it gives much coverage at all. What is the coverage like in the serum one?

[@MsCiara17]

+ThatsWhatSheSaid it's medium coverage, but very buildable and doesn't look cakey if you layer on top. I only ever use one pump and it covers redness and dull skin but you can still see skin under it, if you know what I mean, my freckles would still be seen but I like that personally. And it's very lightweight on the skin but would need to powder it if using bronzer and that because it stays quiet tacky. Honestly it's a complete polar opposite to the coverage foundation, still has good coverage (I think putting serum in the name is kinda deceiving) and just last a lot longer😊

[@Humera478]

Have you tried mixing them? I quite like them together x

[@jayharker]

YES! Same here. The coverage one creases and greases and the serum one, while more sheer, just works. And stays. Still waiting for the promised watercolors one :P

[@ladonnamendoza2297]

I NEEDED TO SEE THIS COMMENT! THANK YOU! 💕

[@helgaguillen9730]

The ordinary serum foundation works wonders for my dry skin, I love it.

[@Tanya10312000]

Tati, Thank you so much for thinking of us chocolate women and showing samples for us to see. Thank you for caring about all of the demographics samples watching your videos. Have an excellent day.

[@unchainyourbrain3312]

[@mistybandy8874]

Terri Darnell Ikr.... I love that she always swatches on her channel!!💗

[@unchainyourbrain3312]

l0ovechild47 ...She bought a range of shades when she reviewed Loreal Infallible foundation. At the time I was new to her videos and I see that she's remained consistent to her viewers.

[@kemmikomiles1795]

Tati I love that you swatched darker shades. It really makes a positive difference about being diverse regardless of your skin tone. Thank you.

[@mags_ml]

I don't like when I see the "Fail" in the video, it's kind like a spoiler :( I want the mistery, the suspense of not knowing if it will work for you

[@matthewkliessendorff1247]

I know it reminds me how I fail to please my gf with my three centimeter Peter.... I tell her three centimeters can do alot of damage going 500 mph so before me n her have sex now I cover my body with the foundation In this video and get a running start and slide in that pussy 🏃💨😈

[@beccamartin8533]

Ema lmao eyebrows aren’t supposed to be the same color as your hair. If you’re blonde they should be darker and if you’re brunette they should be lighter

[@annabel4711]

Try it again. It’s the primer. Fleur de Force hates the primer too. It’s an amazing company and a good foundation. I think you should have tried it with your normal primer. That’s what you normally do.

[@melissahancock4246]

My husband just text me saying “it’s Tati time”. He’s apparently been watching some of your videos without me knowing after I showed him the video James did for you

[@verneata1788]

[@besionishe]

That's an amazing idea actually!

[@ileanacardona2248]

[@uhbyoihbloiybloihybolgiyh]

THANK YOU TATI!!!!!!! for including the deeper shade ranges, I really appreciate it! It's a serious issue, and these brands have no excuse. The ones who do it deserve the recognition.

[@puristevil]

Tati, could you do a review on the "New" (more like relaunched) Maybelline 24 hr stay foundation?

[@ashrafaryaan]

PuristMe yes please @tati

[@gee615]

Love to hear her thoughts also! It's been reformulated! Works amazing on my dry skin incase anyone reading this has dry skin! More dewy/natural finish on myself!

[@lulyx11]

I have combo/oily skin and my skin is a little dehydrated sometimes and maybelline foundation is amazing! The coverage is superb,it doesn't cling to my dry patches and it has amazing staying power ☺

[@puristevil]

I have combination skin, drier in winter, more oily in summer. I've been on a very long search for a good drug store foundation and have yet to find one.

[@lulyx11]

PuristMe You should try this one,I put moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin underneath and in this 8hr wear it did not get oily in my t-zone but it's not completely matte also,it has more of a natural finish on my skin. It slightly got cakey around my nose but just when you look really closely (to me happens with every foundation). Hope I helped

[@shannonrockliffe2661]

I have oily skin and I find this looks really nice when I use something like urban decay deslick underneath so oily gals don't be scared!! Especially for the price stick an oil preventing primer on and some powder and you should be good to go!! Xo

[@leahedwards596]

shannon rockliffe im suuuuuper oily and i LOVE this foundation!!! its soo worth the money and defo one of the best ive tried

[@shannonrockliffe2661]

Leah Edwards yes I agree!! You can 100% make it work xx

[@leahedwards596]

shannon rockliffe defo! i agree with investing in a good primer, i find it works incredibly with the maybelline babyskin pore eraser primer and the rcma no colour powder😍

[@shannonrockliffe2661]

Leah Edwards I use the fenty primer then de slick in my oily patchs, T zone ect then the coty airspun and I love it 😋

[@megganpalmer2261]

Im super oily as well, and love it!

[@cailinalge6378]

It’s SO interesting to see how different products affect different people: I’m super oily and LOVE the serum foundation.

[@Hi_Maia]

I wish I looked like Tati fresh out of bed. You are gorgeous!

[@genavievec]

Really? Her skin isn't that great.. I don't see it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ her skin actually looks bad and very textured without makeup and there are many spots and discoloration. Everyone says she has good skin but I don't see it lol maybe once makeup is on but that's it lol

[@daniphelan9200]

Genavieve C yeah I agree, I hate to pass comment on other people’s looks etc, but I was surprised to see Tati with blocked pores on the cheeks, blemish chin etc. Considering her skincare regimen ya know? To be fair it’s nice that she shows her flaws 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@eliananoei652]

just commenting so I get notifications... I always thought considering how much money and time she spends on her skin care, it doesn't show... I am beginning to think after a point, extra steps and products don't make a difference...

[@eviee]

The replies are cancer.

[@sydneato]

p sure they arent commenting on how her skin looks lol.. shes a normal person, shes bound to have blemishes and noticeable pores..

[@VasilikisBeautyTips]

Maybe with another primer this foundation will work better! I really like your check ins and a glimpse of your outfit in your videos Tati!! xxxx

[@girlgetglamorous]

I found that this foundation works best for me if I apply 1 pump RIGHT after my moisturizer is rubbed in. Then I blend and set with a beauty blender, setting spray and powder and I get a really nice finish, just slightly heavier than a CC cream. Everyone asks me what is on my skin. But if I wait and add primer and then apply, I get creasing and oily skin and it gets patchy.

[@laughaholic13]

But guys if she tests it out with like a high end primer, my ass can afford the foundation but not the expensive primer so that makes it even more confusing for people who are on a budget. I would rather have a no primer test.

[@inkmagination4878]

you know, there has to be something to complain about.. you're totally right

[@jen5487]

I try to buy my foundations based on how well they work WITHOUT primer, because let's be honest, primers really haven't been in the game for a long time and I had a lot of great results over the years without using primer. I really only use primers if I'm doing my makeup for a special occasion, and I don't know why, because I usually wish I hadn't. So many of the moisturizers are made to act as a primer anyway so sometimes it's just too many layers of makeup and it seems to wear away faster.

[@AmandaLarissaaa]

@@jen5487 So true! I use an Aloe Vera gel as moisturizer and after that, some facial sunscreen. The sunscreen has a kind of stickyness to it that makes it perfect to use as a primer, so that's what I'm using right now. Everytime I try a different 'primer' I end up crying.

[@ssilverlake]

If you're oily and you want an affordable primer the silicone one by the ordinary is only $4.90 and it would be better than the fluidity for oily skin

[@charleelooo]

I never wear primer my skins too dry. But i dont care too much if my makeup fades lol.

[@isadoraghitmann]

LOVE the outfit. I’m glad you started doing outfit of the day

[@dreamcatcher75418]

For everyone saying that Tati should have used a better primer, my question is WHY?! She used the primer that went with the foundation. That's the real test. In reality no one will use a $50 primer with a $7 foundation.

[@dortheathomsen2348]

dreamcatcher75418 Actually tati used the wrong primer for her skintype... the ordinary has two kinds of primers... she should have used the blurring one for more oily skin

[@weltenbummlerin632]

I agree. If your main purpose is filling in pores and control oil and you go for a hydrating primer...then it's not the fault of the product if it's not staying put.

[@georgy423]

Welten Bummlerin i have the same primer she used and dry skin and i do not like it eighter. It is just bad, at least for me

[@Youreamess]

dreamcatcher75418 wrong. So wrong. I use my expensive primer with my cheap drugstore foundations all the time.

[@aksakhan7872]

I use porefessional under my drugstore foundations

[@sofiawendorff8695]

Yessss I love your OOTDS! You are soo gorgeous! I get excited whenever I see your notification lol Love you💗

[@Tati]

Thank you so much Sofia! xo's

[@zinc8002]

It's all well and good talking about Milani conceal and perfect over and over but it runs SUPER yellow and has no fair shades. Bad shade and undertone range. Edit: Damn 250 of you agree! Also, if you're looking for a cheap high coverage base, try the LA girl pro conceal. It's what I use for a cheap foundation and it has a fantastic range. I do have to mix it with their white and my own mixers but not much and the coverage stays very well. I'm intensely pale, I have to mix everything so that's not something to judge it by haha. Also, because it works as a foundations and concealer, you can use different (or the same!) shades for your entire base. Worth a try.

[@lillunaeticx]

Niamh Bannister they came out with 00a and its good enough for me (im nw13) and i really like it :)

[@shanr6109]

Lunar Less 👏👏 Yup yup

[@thixiemattel]

Was gonna say the same thing. Yellow and dark 👎🏻

[@hwaberryjuice]

They actually came out with a few more really fair shades.

[@saranicolek16]

Not anymore

[@yasmine2141]

I really appreciate Tati purchasing deeper shades. Majority of makeup gurus would not do that but with her buying these foundations, it always gives me an idea of how light or dark I would need to be. For instance, the orangey foundation, 3.1, would work for me. THANK YOU TATI😊💓

[@rosevelasquez9110]

*this was just a poor review in my opinion,* tati usually kills it but she clearly didn't read what she was buying, she decided to buy the liquid primer which is meant for dry skin, instead of the silicone one which is more similar to what she usually uses. also not the best idea to try two new products in one go, since you can't isolate which one does what, the primer or the foundation...

[@LeadingLady93]

I use the serum one with the high adherence silicone primer and I'm in love! super light, covers the skin but still lets my freckles show.

[@EmilyS1898]

Ashley Holada good to know because I am loving my serum foundation, and bought the high adherence primer but haven't cracked it open yet! I'm not as into full coverage stuff as Tati is, though.

[@iamshigeo]

What skin type do you have ? I just bought these two, so I’m waiting for their arrival. I’m also curious of the wear time ! :)

[@LeadingLady93]

Combo but on the dry side with some acne

[@iamshigeo]

Thank you !

[@lilsunflower9655]

Omg that’s what my problem is!! I want to cover my redness but I love my freckles:( I don’t want to cover them!

[@lucygodfrey8647]

I’m actually really shocked cause I use this as my daily foundation and I don’t get any of these problems!:( mine even lasted a gym session the other day!

[@la4549]

Are you still using it ? And fo you have an oily/combination skin ?

[@harvinkaur5290]

Heyyy are you still using it and do you have a dry skin

[@lucygodfrey8647]

Leena A heya, I have combination/oily skin :)

[@lucygodfrey8647]

I have oily/combination gal! X

[@Ahoykatieee]

If you're super pale and have DRY skin, I'd recommend this foundation and primer. This video is a perfect example of it not working for other skin types. I have both foundation formulas from The Ordinary and I honestly prefer the serum foundation over this one. It's my holy grail foundation. That primer also works better on dry skin, so I really think that's where this went wrong for you. I have dry skin and I still use the primer very sparingly in the places where I really need it (around my nose and forehead). I hope that the brand comes out with other formulations that can cater to a wider variety of skin types in the future. Please give the skincare products a try, Tati! That's where the brand truly shines IMO.

Try the Ordinary Serum Foundation that's way better than the Coverage Foundation.

[@katarinalavass9256]

Hawai Lolo I think it has too light coverage for Tati, she likes more coverage. 😊

[@YouKetts]

+Katarina Lavass I have the serum one and it's buildable without being too heavy.

[@AmayaYume]

True! I hate the coverage one but the serum one is fantastic

[@lorinc.7676]

I agree, I think that the serum one is better 💯

[@LydiaMorsman]

I have both and I prefer the serum, and get the same sort of coverage if I build it. I like the coverage but it’s a bit dewy for me.

[@Nxxxma]

Tati I have the same issue. It’s really hit and miss for me!! Some days I have the best makeup days wearing this foundation but pleaseeee try the serum foundation it’s 100x better

[@JayJaytheMakeupBoi]

Your hair looks darker and I love it💕

[@RentedFashion]

JayJay the Makeup Boi I noticed that too!!

[@twoforjoyspirit8699]

I noticed that in yesterday's vid

[@saracurrie9877]

I love always being able to count on Tati's consistent videos and amazing content! 💋

[@michelleschreiner6717]

I also purchased this foundation a couple months ago and I really enjoy it! I use it with the clinique pep hydroblur moisturizer on the outerpart of my face and the benefit porefessional on the T-zone and it's flawless! I also like to combinate this foundation with the HD liquid coverage foundation from catrice and it looks really amazing after applying. But I have to agree with you Tati, the ordinary foundation is nothing for people with oily skin.

[@esnyder91]

Wow so many negative comments! Tati I loved this eye and lip look! So pretty and perfect for the holidays! Thanks for your always honest opinions!

[@brittanycorkins7142]

Makeup or no makeup, you always look beautiful! I hope you and James have a Happy Thanksgiving! xoxo!

[@Tati]

Thank you so much for watching Brittany! xo's

[@elijahcox8098]

I used this foundation with no primer at all, and honestly it looked fab for 8 hours, although I have normal skin. Definitely worth trying with your normal primer. Also if you are oily you can set this foundation with a light powder foundation.

[@Verohippo]

I have the coverage and the serum foundation and I LOVE them. The coverage one is good for my everyday and serum one is just if I need to look decent for a short errand with no makeup on. The primers are ok..I have the silicone and the fluid one...the fluid one is terrible for my oily skin but the silicone one is good...not great. These foundations are not for glam, heavy looks...comparing this to my Estee Lauder double wear, or even my Milani one, the Ordinary is for very natural looks. If I want very high coverage, I'll mix it with my loreal infallible or my wet and wild. Aside from the foundation, their skin care serums have absolutely changed my skin life...I highly recommend them

[@gabbyrokke39]

I’ve been using this foundation on and off for a few months, I really like it. The primer did nothing for me it actually made the foundation look horrible on my skin. I almost tossed out both but then tried it out with my regular primer, game changer the foundation wore longer and looked better.

[@luispizarro1151]

I use this foundation with the Smashbox primer and it looks amazing.

[@luciparadise6781]

Luis Pizarro I'll have to try that combination.

[@sw3ar2shakeitup8]

I’m so confused by the amount of product she used. No bashing- but it looked like half the bottle was on her face. I love this foundation and I use less than 1 single pump. Idk about others but when I pack too much product on my skin, that’s when I get creases and look like an oily mess 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@LillibitOfHere]

Yeah, I use one pump of the serum foundation. This definitely looked like just too much product, and the wrong color.

[@nataliexoxo4386]

Me too..i love both this and serum foundations..i didn't re order my Georgio armani luminous silk or dior air flash bc I love these foundations so much. I ordered a ton of them too lol

[@corpseparty0u0]

Right? I use like a third, MAYBE sometimes half of a pump on my full face and neck, what in the world was she doing?!

Random question: Do American's always wear shoes indoors? Why? lol

[@anabella1727]

Josée Darquise no. Depends on the person.

[@isawthesign4421]

Not everyone. I wear slippers inside. Not regular shoes. But a lot of people do

[@salemkittie]

Texan here- It bothers me personally to see people wearing shoes in houses and I try my best to not do it. You track in whatever was out there in the world and potentially grind it into your carpet! And I mean... uncomfortable! Wear slippers or go barefoot lol

[@jaytee2642]

I wear my shoes inside until I take them off, which I don't do until I'm sure I'm done running in and out. No way am I going to take off, put on, take off, put on, EVERY time I run in and out from the car or the laundry room or watering the plants or whatever.

[@Courtneykoon]

Josée Darquise No 😂 some people do, not sure why. But not usually

[@debbiechaplin7636]

I use this foundation and have oily skin... I use it with Deciem hylamide pore minimiser as the Deciem primers all make my foundation slide.. I have to say it is the best foundation I've used and I've tried hundreds... For the money give it a go, but be careful what you use under it... It is a serum in its own right and doesn't need loads under it, I also find its much better to blend with fingers than anything else... I do powder over the top

[@jadamaeeeee]

Can we just all address that Tati is so beautiful with or without makeup??????

[@catywaffle8544]

Jade Beauty it’s not just the outside that’s beautiful but also the inside

[@jadamaeeeee]

Caty Waffle you know what you’re right she is the sweetest and most beautiful ( inside and out ) makeup artist i know and you are a beautiful person for reminding me that beauty is inside and put💛

[@Asyma88]

I do like Lisa Eldridge too

[@Anoukvs91]

I LOVE the serum foundation (the light/natural version of this one.) ! The coverage foundation a little less. I like that they have very light colors and they're cheap!

[@sweercellulite1984]

Anouk same here!

[@sabrinayh2003]

Hey Tati! Next time when you do a first impressions on foundation AND primer, could you possibly put the new primer on half your face and your usual primer routine on the other half. That way we can see BOTH the effects of primer and foundation at the same time! Rather than not being able to tell whether it’s the foundation not working or the primer :( thanks a lot!

[@shes_a_pearl]

this company is amazing for their prices!!!!!

[@gothie9507]

I believe otd becaude they dont spend monet on high end packaging and other stuff they just focus on formulas

[@aliceschoffel7962]

Can you review the ordinary serum foundation?? I think it's much better than the full-coverage foundation!

[@Yumyummy8312]

I like it that You always mention about the Ingredients of the products you reviews. It helps me a lot to choose my make ups. Thanks, Tati!

[@taylorbell9024]

Thank you for buying the darker shades and donating them. How thoughtful

[@anajuliaschroeder1950]

You have yo try the new UD concealer. People say its very sinilar to the tarre shape tape

[@MsAntigonaki]

This product WORKS, I’ve used both the full coverage and the serum foundations, and they are spectacular.... works great with the No7 mattifying or anti aging primer

[@MajaMVukic]

I’m so happy you did a review on this foundation,i was planning on ordering it in a few days. Seriously you are my favorite reviewer on KZbin! Love you so much Tati!! 💖💖💖💖 I love your reviews so much,you are so thorough! 😍

[@Tati]

So glad you enjoyed the video Maja! xo's

[@alexacisneros4758]

You should try the new maybelline foundation I’m very interested in it!

[@samanthanewport223]

Me too!!

[@madisonl3401]

I didn't know they made a new one! What are the specs on it? Is it matte, dewy, long wearing ?

[@alexacisneros4758]

It doesn’t have many claims but being longwear (24 hours) and full coverage but I love their fit me foundation so I wonder how it compares also

[@thatkid4842]

Yesssssss

[@madisonl3401]

Alexa Cisneros I also love their Fit Me foundations! I'll have to look out for this, thanks for letting us know!

[@xxPixieChicxx]

Yes would love to see you give it another try with a different primer! You are so beautiful Tati 😊

[@bibimp]

always love how classy and real you are tati ❤️

[@isobellloyd8104]

The ‘incredibly fair’ is my perfect shade 😍 I haven’t finished watching the video yet, but I imagine it doesn’t work for Tati 🤔

[@melissa-om4gk]

Isobel Lloyd a lot of people have sakd in the comments w a different primer the foundation works great

[@jameyfisher423]

Nope! It has never worked for me! Always greasy and separates! I’ve tried to like it

[@Sophie-jv3eq]

I know I'm late to the party but I recently purchased this in the shade 1.2Y (after previously buying 2.1P which was a little too dark and 🍊 for me) and when I tell you it's the BEST foundation I've used! I have oily skin and have had trouble with finding foundations that last through the day without making me a greaseball, and it does, with no touch ups! Plus it covers any acne🙆

[@oliviahuckman9342]

did tati dye her hair?

[@tabithachan627]

Hi Tati! I am a loyal viewer and love the way you try out new products. I especially LOVE the check-ins throughout the day. That, to me, is the most important part of the reviews. I am an EMT and work very long, sweaty shifts, so the durability factor is SO important. I was hoping you could review the entire make-up line recently released by Burt's Bees, most interestingly, the foundation. I have always loved their products and the natural ingredients the company stands by. Love what you do!! Thanks!

[@alexandracorvo377]

i think it's kind of pointless when people try foundations with primers they don't know, because that way we never understand if the problem is the foundation or the primer. maybe the primer works with other foundations, and that foundation works with other primers. this isn't me hating on tati, i love her videos, this is just a personal opinion, because the video is advertised as just being about the foundation, but we end up not understanding what is the problem.

[@mirandamcmickle3109]

Alexandra Corvo the primer is meant to go with that foundation

[@alexandracorvo377]

thing is: if you want to know if a foundation works for a review maybe it's better to try it out with a primer you know works. i do understand what you mean (even tho if you check their website you'll actually see they actually don't say the primer goes with the foundation), but even fenty beauty had a primer that goes with the foundation but most of the youtubers didn't use the primer and the foundation together during their first impression because they wanted to see if the foundation actually works for them when they do their usual routine. it's way better to judge a foundation or a primer if you don't change both.

[@alexandracorvo377]

also, if you check their website and read the reviews you'll see the high adherence silicone primer would probably work better for tati than this one did. like i said, i have nothing against tati, i love her so much and i watch her videos every day, i've been subscribed for years. i also have never purchased anything from the ordinary so i really have nothing for or against the company, i was just here to watch her review on the product, but instead of being sure if the foundation is worth it or not, i'm just confused because in the end i really don't know if the foundation works or not.

[@StageMixes]

Okay but if they're from the same company, one should expect the they work well with each other since their formulas would be complementing

[@alexandracorvo377]

How is that so? Companies have primers that work with their foundations and primers that don't. Some companies even come out with foundations without having their own primers, and others come out with primers before coming out with foundations. But imagine, a company has only 2 primers and 4 foundations, but according to your logic these 2 primers must work with all of their 4 foundations then? Or they can have 3 primers and 1 foundation, but these 3 primers all have to work with the foundation? For example, fenty's primer doesn't work well with the foundation for people with dry skin, but if they use a more nourishing primer under the foundation they love it. Your logic is flawed. Primers can beabout ingredients, what can or not be paired up, or what works or not for your skin. This primer, if you read about it, doesn't work well for oily skin or combo skin, which is what Tati says she has, but there's other primers, even in the The Ordinary website, that say it works way better for Tati's skin. In this case, both the base and the foundation were more meant for dry skin so obviously this wasn't going to be a good combo. Maybe even their other primer wouldn't have worked with the foundation. What I meant by my first post was that I just wanted to know how the foundation works, and the better way to do it isn't pairing up two things Tati never used before.That's all I said. That was just my opinion. I never said the primer was good or the foundation was good, but we all would understand better if the foundation works or not if it was used with Tati's normal routine.

[@FairymoonBeauty]

I have really oily skin around the nose and I use this foundation without a primer. Without anything under (only moisturizer) I love it and it lasts many hours on me without creasing!

[@mychapstick4441]

For dry skin this primer is actually super nice! I use this under the L’Oréal trublend and I don’t even like that foundation without that primer. It turns that kind of matte foundation into a nice dewy situation

[@xXElisha13Xx]

I've never used that primer but I use the foundation nearly every day and it lasts at least 8 hours for me and I have the worst oily spot prone skin. Every other foundation I've tried, including the loreal pro-matte which everyone on youtube raved about did not work for me. I've only had creasing when I've applied way too much product, I find a little goes a long way.

[@iamshigeo]

hi from South Africa

[@okjessicah]

Those shade swatches tho! I do think the color was a tad off. It looked more mask like then your skin

[@WalnutsWasTaken]

I have no issue with their foundation. I absolutely love it, it works wonders on my skin. I don’t know what went wrong here, but something did. The Ordinary foundation is the first foundation that actually works on my skin, and the shade I have is the first absolute match to my super fair skin with like, olive and silvery undertones.

[@nayootie09]

YES I WAS WAITING FOR SOMONE WITH A SIMILAR SKIN TO ME TO TEST THIS

[@a.f.8231]

I used the niveau men afthershave under neath it. No creasing .. Looks so good and i did notice that is adapt to my skin cus i have 2.1 its quite yellow but im more nc 40/42 en turns more olive brownish

[@a.f.8231]

Basically its perfect for me btw milani didnt work for me so Thats why i tried this out

[@casieatthe393]

The Ordinarys other primer is 100 times better.

[@caitlind1018]

Casie At The 393 the High Adherence Primer is the bomb!

[@BlondieEsquire]

I think you'd like the other Ordinary primer better. It makes every single one of my foundations look better. I just ordered the serum foundation and can't wait to try it!

[@donnalewis6323]

I love watching your videos you are down to earth and honest I love that Xoxoxo

[@sierram.9519]

For foundations that have a corresponding primer, you should try that primer on half of your face and your regular primers on the other half to see which works better. Love love love your reviews though :)

[@randilynn2421]

This is my favorite foundation! I use it with a variety if primers received from different beauty boxes and it works great. (Ive never tried the Ordinary primers because they dont have great reviews) It feels like it melts into my skin for a very natural look and feels so light and wonderful. Long days in high humidity and I wouldnt trade it for anything!

[@shabanaazeez4583]

Honestly, having colour swatches for deeper shades is SO GOOD. Thank you for doing that!!

[@rebecabernatlliberos8321]

The lipstick looks slightly weird.... is it just me ?

[@ChrystalVanDusseldorp]

the lightest shade actually matches my skin, and i use the UD mattifying primer and it works great for my oily skin. i love it!

[@SummerBeachGirl1]

you should of bought the High-Adherence Silicone Primer, it is only $4.90 and thats cheaper than the one you used. its one of my favorites and it gives a blurring of the pores. I love this brand and use so many of their products.

[@MsAnnekaro]

Do you get the High-Adherence Silicone Primer to work with the full coverage foundation? I have normal skin verging on the dryer side, and for some reason this foundation looks really dry after an hour. I will have to try the foundation sans primer and with a different primer later to know more.

[@maddiexox4880]

I really love all your WTF luxury foundation videos. You always look so happy when you have found a gem

[@TyLeeslilsis]

I don't see how everyone is in a fuss about using the primer that was made to go with the foundation? Isn't that why companies also provide a primer if they think it's the primer that works best with their foundation? Everyone did that with the Fenty reviews and, personally, I didn't see anyone get irritated with those reviews using both the Fenty primer with the Fenty foundation. It just seems weird to me that it looks like most are complaining that you used the Ordinary primer that was made to pair with the Ordinary foundation as a first review of the products lol. Like lol now that you know they don't work for you together, it doesn't mean you can't test the products by themselves or with other primers like you said near the end. :P Anyways, looking forward to maybe an update video on using the foundation with your preferred primer?

[@kimclouse965]

Why is everyone so upset about her using the primer that is supposed to work with the foundation? She even mentioned numerous times she thought it was the primer. I'm sorry if a company markets a foundation and primer together then they should work.

[@MultiTeresa85]

I have this foundation. It becomes very shiny, doesn’t stay on and doesn’t give me great coverage. My skin on the other hand felt lovely!

[@LovelyMess24]

I love the foundation because it doesn’t feel heavy on my skin. However I do not use the primer that I bought to go along with it because it leaves my skin looking like a oily mess. I will actually use the Rihanna primer all over and the smash box primer stick over my pores or problems areas and then use the foundation. I finish it up with the urban decay deslick setting spray and it wears very nicely through out the day. For the price point it is a nice foundation that I can wear to work or run errands while saving my more expensive foundations for more important special events.... I recommend trying it again without that particular primer especially if you know your skin tends to be more on the oily side. 😘💗👑
