Today, I’ve got the first installment of reviews for Jordana’s new Spring 2015 makeup collection that I recently received. If you are new to Jordana, it is the second brand in Milani Cosmetics stable of fabulous drugstore brands. Jordana is sold at Walgreens, K Mart, Duane Reade, and Save Mart Supermarkets. Unfortunately, it’s not always at the Walgreens stores near me.
I have the full collection of Jordana’s Complete Cover Maximum Cover 2-in-1 Concealer & Foundation. That’s 12 shades that range from very light to deep!
And here are the swatches in warm direct sunlight and cool indirect sunlight:
In spite of the great range of shades, I mix Fair Beige 01 which has yellow undertones with Natural Beige 05 with pink undertones to get the shade that works best for me. On the Jordana website, they describe each shade well to give you an idea of which shade or shades will work best for your skin tone.
This is what Jordana has to say about their Complete Cover 2-in-1 Conealer & Foundation:
- INSTANT COMPLEXION PERFECTION
– The Ultimate Multitasker Conceals Dark Spots, Imperfections, Dark Circles and Evens Out Skin Tone For a Flawless Look
– Flexible Coverage – Full To Maximum
– Long Wearing, Water Resistant & Oil-Free
So what did I think?
Jordana Complete Cover 2-in-1 Concealer & Foundation has a lovely texture. In fact, that’s what I like most about it. It feels both lightweight and very creamy at the same time. It does contain dimethicone, so if that ingredient doesn’t agree with your skin, you’ll have to pass. But for my mature skin, dimethicone is a boon, and I don’t need to apply primer before applying this foundation. Yay!
Because of my sun damage, I am always on the look out for full coverage foundation or BB/CC cream. And Jordana Complete Cover Foundation fits the bill. It provides good coverage for my sun damage, and then I dab on a bit more on a couple of my darker spots. Here I am wearing it:
It comes in a handy 1 oz. plastic tube. It’s priced at $3.99 and it’s made in the U.S. In addition to the stores listed above, Jordana Complete Cover 2-in-1 Concealer & Foundation will be available on the Jordana website.

Have you tried Jordana makeup yet?
That much dimethicone would spell disaster for my skin. I would break out like a teenager but for those that can handle it… what a great selection of shades.
I could definitely see that the dimeth might be a problem for some and I’m sorry it would be a problem for you, too, Laura! Because it is such a polarizing ingredient, I felt I better make sure I mentioned it. But that’s what makes me like the foundation so much, lol! It’s so smooth 😉
Seems like a great price in case you pick the wrong one – don’t need to worry about exchanging! Just get a new one!

True, Krystal! And at that price, if you can’t find your exact shade match, you can always buy a couple of mix them like I’m doing
I am in favour of dimethicone, actually – it helps fill out the acne scars. The foundation looks great on you. I love that it doubles as a concealer – that’s one thing less to reach for in the mornings, or to pack while travelling. I want this – think Honey Olive should be my shade.

Me too, Renu. It helps camouflage my wrinkles a bit!
Yes! I see a shade I can use, Toffee 🙂 and it doesn’t cost a lot so I can test out more if I needed to.
I’m glad that you see a shade that looks like it will work for you, Kim!!
I thought it was 05 “creamy natural” I am looking for the lightest one that is cool toned? hmm
Susan, unfortunately none of them in the Jordana line is cool-toned. In order to wear it, I have to mix it with the white Manic Panic Dreamtone so I don’t wear the Jordana and also the Milani (also tends toward yellow) foundations very often. Boo hoo, right?
I wish they had a shade that matched me! The lightest is still too dark.
Yes, the lightest would definitely be took dark for you. There’s more variety in this line for the medium to dark skin tones.
My skin doesn’t mind dimeth in the least bit. And these are chemical sunscreen free, too! I may have to pick up a couple of the lighter shades, play mad scientist and see what I can see. Maybe my dark circles will take a back seat? Hmmm…

Thanks for pointing that they don’t have chemical sunscreen, Erika! That’s important to me too. Although their line is quite extensive, you’ll have to see if there’s a shade light enough for your very fair skin. But it’s worth a look!
I haven’t tried anything from them yet. The range of shades looks nice, and yes, the price makes it nice for mixing too.
I’m fairly new to Jordana, too, Carleen. I’m digging this foundation/concealer, and I’m trying out their new matte lipsticks that are incredible!
I have been enjoying these for contouring and highlighting… since I don’t use foundation – that is what I’ve been using for 🙂
That’s very creative, Honey! Great ideas!
I have been looking for these little beauties at Kmart and Walgreens and neither have them as of yesterday heheh.. Thanks for reviewing them, now I really want to try them out hehe
I’ll be eager to find out what you think when you find ’em, Heather. Hopefully, they’ll show up in stores soon. They’re on the website now.
I like their products in general, so I’d probably try this – and for that price, if it works for you, it’s a steal!

If you try ’em, I’ll be curious to find out what you think, Nidia!
My Walgreen’s has a VERY limited selection of this brand.
Mine, too, Cindy
I like that these can be mixed to match your shade. I haven’t tried them out just yet!

I decided to try it out since I couldn’t get a good match with the existing colors. And at $3.99, why not, right?!
such a variety of shades!!
Destany recently posted…Barielle Gentle Breeze Collection!
Yes!!
I will be testing these out in the next couple of days!
Eager to read your review, Laura!
I haven’t tried these on me yet, only photographed and swatched, but I was thinking I’d need to mix shades too. Normally I’d be like =\ but since the price is so good I don’t mind.

I have to mix shades for IT CC Cream so I’m in the habit of doing it 😉
I finally found Jordana in a Walgreens near me! I’m going to have to check these out.

Yay, I’m glad you found Jordana near you, Brianna! I wish the Walgreens closest to me would carry more of the product range.
What a great range! I think I could find mine or mix to make one. Great price, too! <3
It is a good range. This time, though, they could use a couple of more shades on the light end of the spectrum, lol!
I haven’t tried the brand as it’s not sold here at all, but I think I might have to do a little online shopping as I’ve heard great things about them. Looks like they have a great selection of shades too.
It’s worth a look at the website, Bailey, or check out Walgreens if you travel!
I’m really impressed by the range of colors, especially for a drugstore brand. Thanks for the review 🙂
It is a good range of shades, Kristin, though I think they could use one more very fair shade at the light end of the spectrum for us pale gals
I can’t wait to try these! I only hope the lightest shade is light enough for me!

It may not be, Stephanie. They did a great job, I think, on the medium to dark shades, but they could use another shade or two on the “fair” end of the spectrum! But take a look. For $3.99, it’s worth a trip to Walgreens!
I have heard nothing but good about these!
I’m glad that everyone likes them! I think they’re a steal!
