    This has pretty much no coverage. To make it cover at all I tried putting more on, and I should have been happy when it didn't show up at all, because when it is actually visible it is quite...

    This was ok, but not at all what I was looking for. First off, coloring SUCKS. I have medium skin, but my skin is all of two shades lighter because of winter. So I got light-medium. TOO ORANGE...

    There might be a misspelling on the tube--it claims that the color "complements" your skin tone, but I think they mean "compliments." But the orange color that the light shade gave me wasn't very...

    I purchased the medium/dark Smart Shade and liked it very much. I like the fact that it is light and doesn't seem like you are rubbing paint on your face. This blends well, no make up lines...

    This is basically a tinted moisturiser. It's an interesting product. I have this in Light 100 and it comes out of the tube white with little specks in it. As you smooth it onto the skin, the specks...

    I was on the fence about trying this product considering some of the reviews I'd read, but it was on sale and I had a coupon, so I figured it wasn't too big of a risk. I have very oily acne-prone...

    This product did not 'adjust' to my fair skin color. Bought the lightest shade (light - 100). It went from white to a slightly orangey, but definitely too dark color.

    I got this a couple of weeks ago, and I like it! It has pretty good coverage so it hides some of the red but doesn't look cakey. I also thought it was cool how it turned from white to the shade of...

    I bought this in the lightest color ("Light 100"), and the coverage is very light yet it definitely turns a color that matches my skin tone well. From the sound of it, those of you who claim it...
