This product rivals Dior Nude Makeup. Dior Nude is more expensive but lasts longer so the price is really comparable. I like Almay because it goes on smoothly without caking around my eyebrows like...

It doesn't make wrinkles worse, but it doesn't conceal them either, as it claims. It's also super pale and just a hair too light so it goes on a bit chalky. It also streaks easily if you don't...

I love the squeeze tube for this as it is handy for travel, but I don't like the makeup itself. It goes on white, and I thought it would have a very light, natural, dewy/glowy coverage, but it was...

I tried this foundation on a weekend before a graduation party - not a good idea. It made my face turn a ghostly white - even my husband noticed. I'll go back to other titanium-based sunscreens,...

I got this in Light. It actually came on yellow on my skin. Actually the color yellow. Don't buy it- there isn't enough selection for shades.
