    Good coverage and color, and I appreciate that it has SPF, but it made my skin feel very dry and tight. Also tough to remove -- definitely need an oil-based cleanser.

    I initially bought this because I have been breaking out the past six months and believe it may be caused by the cosmetics I have been using over the last year or so. So after reading about which...

    Never realized how much I loved this foundation until on a whim I tried something else. Coverage is more sheer than many, blends beautifully, evens skin tone. Almost think of it as a bb or cc. A...

    I like this concealer, but I feel like it doesn't have great coverage for my undereye circles. I think it works best for blemishes!

    I am sure this will be discontinued since I love it so much. You do have to blend it in fast with your fingers. It goes on nicely over Neutrogena moisturizer. The light color matches my pale skin...

    Nice packaging. It, or course, doesn't match your color. I got the lightest and looked sort yellow, like I was sick or jaundiced, not like I was a little bit tan. It's really luck if you find a...

    Guess I was expecting alot more from this "makeup" other than some dewyness. The anti-aging thing is merely the spf sunscreen with very minimal color enhancement, thus the smart shade match. I wear...

    I purchased this in Light and Light/Medium because I wasn't sure how it would blend in with my skin tone. It comes out an offwhite colour and quickly oxidises on your skin rather like asian BB...

    I'm a big fan of this product. I don't need the anti-aging properties, and still love it. I normally mix it in with a moisturizer and apply it to my face like a moisturizer. It gives a nice...

    I love this product! It goes on smooth and it provides light to medium coverage which is enough to even out my skin tone. I love it because it's not as heavy as a normal foundation, but it...

    Im very fair and I heard all the rave on YouTube about this foundation so I decided to try it because it clams that it matches your skin tone 100% but it's sure doesn't! It's a gray/white Constance...
