    This is a really great product. I have now started to use this religiously. Almay smart shade takes the guesswork out of matching your foundation and skin tone. It is great for even coverage and is...

    On a whim I reached for this product in my old fashioned caboodle. It was given to me as a gift to try. Without a beauty blender I dabbed a teeny amount on the t-zone or what is called the...

    I decided to use this again during a budget makeup spree. I had used it for years ( old formula) and loved it. This is crap. It's greasy and slightly waxy, and it broke me out horribly. I am 51,...

    I picked this up because I was looking for a summer foundation that needed minimal work to apply- ie. no beauty blender/brushes. First off, SPF 15 is a JOKE. It does nothing. It's a ploy to be able...

    Pros: 1. Good coverage (I have a red birthmark all over my face and in 1 coat is enough to reduce the redness. 2 coats almost completely eliminates it) The new formula (with the three drops) does...

    this "foundation" is more like a bb cream in terms of coverage. I love that it is shade- matching so you don't need to go through the trouble of testing and finding your perfect shade. I used...

    This stuff does actually match my skin tone very well, with minimal effort put into application. I wouldn't call it full coverage, don't know that Almay does either. It's great for a quick look. I...

    This "foundation" is terrible. I'm not quite sure what it's supposed to do but it fails anyway. It's too light weight to offer any real coverage, and sits on top of my skin so obviously. As for the...

    This is one of the worst foundations I have ever tried. no matter what I tried it would not stay on my face. It streaks so badly and doesn't have good coverage.

    Finally, a foundation that works for a warm toned pale face! Most "Light" colored foundations assume you are cool or pink. Or they have too much brown in them. This one enables my face to match...

    I purchased this in zLight, and other than it blended into the skin with no detection whatsoever,that is all it did. No coverage at all and honestly the product has nothing else to offer.
