    I used this back in the day...and liked it cause it was lightweight and looked fresh and natural, BUT only cause my skin was basically flawless. NOW..some terrible breakouts later, I have some acne...

    I recently came across this in the bottom of my makeup drawer and decided to give it another try. I don't remember why it ended up there, because this is a really good foundation! The coverage is...

    For light days, summer days, etc this makeup works great. It is not heavy and provides just enough coverage (if you are looking for a lot of coverage this is NOT for you). It is also nice that it...

    So I bought this today and it came with the blush which is the only good thing about this foundation. I will say that the coverage is not bad and it gives you an even complexion, BUT and this is a...

    When I tested the light makeup on my hand, the color seemed to blend beautifully with my fair skin tone. However, when I tried to wear it on my face, the color ended up looking a little too dark...

    I like this much more than I expected to. It's nothing mind blowing, but I like it more than most other drugstore type foundations. I would say this is a sheer foundation, and I like it really only...

    This product actually works really well for me. I have a yellow undertone in my skin and being now in my early 40's, look for something that has a medium to light coverage. I have a back-log of...

    Smart shade is a great idea... I just wish it worked! I bought the lightest shade and it showed up very orangy on my skin. I could see the line where the foundation stopped.

    I like the idea of a perfect match to your skin tone. This provides very sheer coverage. It comes out of the tube white and then changes color on your skin. My problem is that I have a few deep...

    Overall the product does match your shade as for the streaking that others have mentioned it can streak but it can easily be avoided by rubbing it in completely when applying that's the only reason...

    I am amazed at the negative reviews for this product. It goes on easily, looks natural, evens out my skintone, and is everything you want your makedup to be! Love it! My new HG foundation.
