The Ordinary Serum Foundation for dark skin. adiaadores.comI bought shades 3.0Y, 3.0R and 3.1Y from ASOS and I ended up going with 3.0R in the video.I go more into detail in the video, but here's a quick breakdown:Pros:

  • Extremely light/thin texture
  • Blends quickly & flawlessly
  • Fragrance free
  • Very affordable (under $10)
  • Nice packaging
  • Super smoothing
  • Lightweight on the skin

Cons:

  • Oxidizes
  • Lacking enough Dark and Deep shades

Basically, this foundation is amazing (as long as you can get the right color).  I definitely recommend this if you want a natural, satin finish and don't need a ton of coverage.I consider The Ordinary Serum Foundation to be an excellent dupe for the Armani Maestro foundation.  The texture is pretty much exactly the same, and The Ordinary offers more shade selections.  The foundation oxidizes quite a bit, but that worked in my favor because shade 3.0R ended up being a great match, and it definitely didn't look like it at the beginning.The Ordinary Serum Foundation review on dark skin. adiaadores.comConsidering how light this foundation looked at the beginning, I'm glad it oxidized a bit.  It ended up being an almost perfect match.The Ordinary Serum Foundation review on dark skin. adiaadores.comHere's the details on the rest of my makeup:Clinique Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer in Deep 24 (LOVE this concealer!)Tarteist Metallic Eyeshadow in ExposedTom Ford Sheer Highlighting Duo in Reflect Gilt  (I used the darker shade as a glowy blush)Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious MascaraGlossier Boy Brow in Black (I’m a Glossier Rep, so you can shop with me using this link to get 20% off your first purchase)ColourPop Lippie Stix in Lumiere + L’Oreal Infallible Paints in 312I have the video showing up top, but in case you're having trouble, here's a link to the video
