    Not the best foundation out there... The coverage is poor, it smells terrible and feels sticky on the skin. For me it also caused clogged pores although it says that it is not supposed to. The...

    Waste of my money. Poor coverage when blended correctly. Orange streak if one did not blend it well. Overall a failure in product performance. Does Almay test this on real women before deciding...

    I'm questioning the below reviews, because if I had to set aside the 'Coverage', the 'ONE' thing I would buy this product for, if anything, is it's airy, ultra silky consistency. I hate liquid...

    This product does not provide good coverage and when I applied it to my skin, it left orange streaks when I was trying to blend it. I would not recommend this to anyone!

    This pretty much melted off within an hour of applying. It was very uncomfortable when it was on, so I just put it away. About 3 weeks later I decided to try it again, and everything in the tube...

    Though this gives barely any coverage, it improves the appearance and texture of my skin. It makes me look glowy and brings warmth to my face. If you don't need very much coverage at all, this is...

    This product really doesn't do anything in terms of coverage, which is what I need, nor does it last. I like the concept of it adjusting to your skin color, but it turns orange on me, and I'm about...

    I got the lightest one. Turned out orange. It blends pretty well, but doesn't give a lot of coverage. Overall, this is ok when I run out of foundation and have nothing else to use, but I will not...
