    This product goes on smooth and is easy to use. It blends well and looks very natural. The coverage is nice. It matches my skin tone beautifully.

    UPDATE: this product is CRAP. this product isn't smart. the only thing it can do is change into your shade and give a little coverage. other than that, it doesn't cover ANY redness or blemishes. if...

    Where do I start? This stuff dries streaky and chalky. Very dry finish. Minimal coverage. Grey ashy undertone. Tossed after one use.

    Its a great natural and dewey look but it still covers my acne. You can wear it in any weather. If you want a more matte coverage one day, just add a drop of concealor into the mix.

    I got this simply because it would go on sheer. Typically when I wear foundation, my skin sort of looks like I got some sand on my face around the edges of my nose, with an oily t- zone....

    To me, this foundation isn't the best buy. At first, I thought it would be quite interesting to try a new foundation that would mould to my exact skin tone, but unfortunately i found that it only...

    It's an alright foundation for those days when you are pressed for time and can't devote enough time to doing your full makeup routine. Not a heavy coverage but does the job in a pinch. Nice to...

    The color did not match my skin at all! I tried a few different times to see if I was just not good at applying it, but the product did not work for me or my skin at all. My skin was streaky and...

    I used this over the summer and it was a disaster. I'm usually happy with Almay, but this was the worst idea. I broke out so bad, the shade promise, was a lie. I was always oily, and blending was...

    I absolutely HATED this product! I'm really fair skinned, so the "light" color was too dark for me, thus indicating that it is not actually "smart shade makeup" as it does not actually transform...
