    What is Almay thinking? It does not start out white, and it doesn't blend to your shade. It's way too dark--I'm as pale they make them, and the lightest shade is too dark for me. It's better...

    I was really disappointed in this product. Although it blended in well, it looked orange on my light skin after it set. After a couple hours it looked shiny as well. By itself it was terrible but...

    Gimmicky. Most gimmicky products fail to live up to the hype. It went on OK but the color changed to a pinkish tone....horrible color... Very dry. I returned it.

    I tried this on a whim because the idea seemed so great. It transforms to match my skintone and it balances oily and dry areas! Sadly, it's not so great. It's very runny coming out of the tube and...

    This product doesn't provide enough coverage even though I have very little blemishes and only use it on my t-zone. By the end of the day it is no longer there. I like the concept of it...

    Wow...I actually like this haha. It does come out in a shade of orange, but not really bad. The key with this is to use a LITTLE bit. It evens out my skintone nicely, but it WILL NOT cover up...
