The Ordinary Colours Coverage Foundation are full-coverage formulations available in a comprehensive shade range. It contains higher pigment levels than the Serum Foundation but still offer a smooth finish that avoids the heavy makeup look that can make skin appear more aged. The texture is that of a lightweight, non-oily cream. The pigments used in these formulation is treated for a rich, highly-saturated effect. These pigments are suspended in a proprietary spreadability system that allows pigments to look natural on the skin, resist collecting within fine lines & stay on for longer. The foundation offers a semi-matte finish & are compatible with most primers & are designed to work exceptionally well with the primers offering from The Ordinary. This SPF15 protection is achieved without the use of chemical sunscreens & only through physical protection from Titanium Dioxide. in addition, no nano-particles are used to achieve this sun protection. These attributes are unique in foundations because it is exceptionally difficult to create a natural, lightweight look & consistent shades when using only non-nano forms of Titanium Dioxide for sun protection without any chemical sunscreen agents. The shades are divided into three categories: 1 for fair to lighter tones, 2 for medium tones; & 3 for darker tones. Each category is then classified further by a second digit from 0 to 3 to indicate depth within each category. Finally, a letter is added to the shade code to identify the undertone: P (Pink) & R (Red) indicate cool undertones for lighter & darker shades respectively; N indicates a Neutral tone; Y indicates a Yellow undertone. Each shade code has a descriptive name as well. For example, 1.2P is Light with Pink Undertones while 3.0Y is Medium Dark with Yellow Undertones. Three of the shades have an additional letter at the end: S indicates Silver highlights & G indicates Gold highlights; these shades use natural-looking & exceptionally fine dispersions of metallic effect pigments for added highlight.
