Pippa just showed a Dior lipstick and I'm not sure if the packaging is lovely or it looks like a dildo.

I thought it looked like something out of 50 Shades too!

The Essence ones are absolutely brilliant, I've been switching between two of them this week and the amount of comments I've gotten about my eyeshadow! I use the Wet & Wild primer and they don't budge at all.

Really I must get the essence ones I bought an inglot liquid eyeshadow today because I couldn’t get my hands on the stilla one it’s fab but not as nice as the stilla

How much is Sue's foundation?

The Ordinary is my new love. I use their high coverage one and it's as good as Urban Decay All Nighter IMO (which I had used previously as my "going out" makeup). I wear it during the day too if my skin is going through a bad patch and it doesn't look cakey or too heavy like some heavy coverage foundations can look in daylight. And only £7.95 including delivery. Plus so many colours. Can't recommend it enough.

Lindy97 · 06-10-2017 11:13AM

Foundation is a dodgy one to be bringing out, so many different ones and you need a fairly broad spectrum of shades to match the variation of skin tones. Rhianna's new line has been applauded for this very reason, 40+ shades.
It also needs to be a top quality.

I thought she used stuff from her contour pallette as a foundation? She's claimed that numerous times

Oh really? I ordered two bottles of it and it came during the week but haven't tried it yet! Excited now!

I hate it, it looks like chalk on my skin, but just backs up the point that foundation is extremely personal

Need to try this

SusieBlue · 06-10-2017 11:20AM

I can't imagine a foundation doing well at all. Already so many amazing, affordable products established on the market.

I have to say, releasing foundations is a hard task. It could go right but there is a lot that can go wrong

Did you try the coverage or serum? My colleague ordered the serum and she loves it. She tried my coverage on her skin and hated it!

scarbouro · 06-10-2017 11:37AM

Not sure how well a foundation will sell. As people have mentioned getting the skin tones correct will be a big thing. There's no point in only bringing out 5 shades. Wonder what the price will be, especially when there are so many affordable foundations on the market already. I can't see people giving up their favorite foundation and buying one from a blogger. I suppose she might be gearing it towards teenagers who are just starting out with makeup.

idunno78 · 06-10-2017 11:43AM

From the sounds of it she wants it to suit every skin type! Don't think that is possible is it? Will be interesting to see what happens with it! Agree will be hard done as in so nany skin tones and shades it won't suit everyone! If she sticks with her usually price point I can't see many buying! €30 would be silly for a blogger foundation. 2 months to get the formula right from scratch hmmm is that possible!? Wonder will her tan be out for Xmas? Or will she bring her Lipstick out for Xmas? She mentioned them on honeymoon!

The coverage one!

I might try the serum one eventually, I'm not wearing much foundation lately during the day - just an illuminating serum and concealer so I'm only really interested in foundation for evening / nights out situations.

I don't blame the ordinary - it seems to work very well for some, but not on my dry* skin.

*it's technically dry but I moisturize so well that oil control is more my problem

SpillingTheTea · 06-10-2017 11:47AM

I categorically wouldn’t spend €30 on a foundation she brought out simply because to me that’s along the same price lines as Mac, Urban Decay etc I think it’d be hard for her to get this right.

mel123 · 06-10-2017 11:51AM

Sue has such a following, it will be a success weather its good or not!

The slippers will be the next thing...if she has any sense :-)

ibarelycare · 06-10-2017 11:51AM

Rimmel foundations are what...€13-16? It would be mad for her to bring out a mid-price range foundation (>€20) but I can't see her bringing out a budget one going by the cost of her other products.

scarbouro · 06-10-2017 11:56AM

The majority of her products are around the â‚¬30 mark. I don't think she's afraid to hike up the price. Sure she sells fake nails for a tenner! But if her price is too high she won't get people buying it as I'm sure people would rather spend that money on the likes of Mac. If the price was right she might target teenagers or young students. I think people are very picky about foundation. The eyeshadow pallette didn't do so well, I'd be playing it safe on the next product tbh.

I remember watching a video of her doing her make up and yes, she used a shade from the contour palette as a foundation. She looked jaundiced.

retro:electro · 06-10-2017 11:59AM

I absolutely would not buy her foundation. I've no interest in any of her products. I remember her saying before that she thinks yellow toned foundation suits everyone- so I'm guessing they'll all be yellow toned. That would not suit my fair cailin pink skin.

That's ridiculous. The majority of Irish people have pink undertones. Yellow undertones are for people with sallow/ethnic skin. So many people wear the wrong tone and that's one of the reasons foundation can look awful on people.

I really think it's a crazy product to bring out. People are very loyal to their foundation.

Very true. I would never buy blogger products anyway, but I've used Mac Studio Fix for about 9 years and would rarely try anything new. I always go back to it even when I try something else.
However, I'm a fiend for lipsticks and eyeshadow pallets and would often pick up one just cause I liked the look of it. I'd never do that with foundation - extensive research is done, a sample is gotten and I rarely end up using it long term. I always go back to my studio fix

retro:electro · 06-10-2017 12:24PM

Same, WR. So loyal to Mac studio fix and I've tried every hyped up and holy grail foundation going. It's an extremely personal product. I know so many who cannot stand studio fix. A brave move on her behalf.

qxtasybe1nwfh2 · 06-10-2017 12:42PM

I can see her foundation being 20-30euro. If it’s more than that, she is crazy. Even at that price is mad but doesn’t she have lashes out for 20euro so I wouldn’t put it past her.

Side note, I may try the ordinary foundation! I haven’t got a fav foundation at the mo.

You should, it's so inexpensive that if you don't like it, you won't feel like you've wasted too much money.

You can buy it from here. There are a huge amount of colours but someone has done a comparison to Mac foundations, so if you know what colour you are in Mac, just pick the corresponding The Ordinary colour (or go into Mac and get a colour check!)

Brilliant thank you. I bought some of their skincare before directly from their website and it arrived within 3 days. The foundation wasn’t in stock at that time. I definitely want to try both.

Some say brave, others say stupid. Like her clothing line she's misjudging this one I think. There'll be an initial hype and her loyal fans buying it to try it but it'll taper off very quickly I think

Lindy97 · 06-10-2017 02:35PM

Is there nowhere you can try The Ordinary in a store? I'd be hesitant to buy a foundation I can't test first but I would like to try it
