    What a piece of crap. The bristles are too long, making the powder go flying everywhere, everywhere but your face! There is absolutely no coverage to this product. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. WASTE...

    Almay, how could you? I usually like Almay products but this one is a real loser. The bristles on the applicator just fall right out. The powder itself is a big mess that does not serve any...

    Get past the cheap, useless packaging...and this is a nice powder. I prefer it to Bare Escentuals. There is a slight shimmer, but not overwhelming. I use Fair 100 over my TruBlend 405 Ivory. ...

    Decent coverage. Will not completely cover a red blemish, so I use concealer first. Poor selection of colors. The packaging will cause you to lose quite a bit of product, but the top will unscrew...

    UGH. I hate wasting my money on useless products - this stuff was no exception. Almay doesn't offer nearly enough colors, my closest match was Medium and it always oxidized on my face, making it...

    I really love this product, but I really hate it's packaging. This is exactly what I want in foundation: good coverage but not heavy, SPF, and the luminous look it gives. Here's what I DO NOT like:...

    Not much product in the cylinder, and the brush is the WORST in the history of makeup brushes! I took the powder out and put it in a small travel container and use my own brush. The overall...

    AWFUL: i hate the brush thing, it's prickley and sheds little black hairs on your face, it doesn't disperse the powder, i found that i had to unscrew the top to get a decent amount out of it, i...

    I ran out of my beloved EM matte, and was leaving for vacation. I bought the Almay hoping it would tide me over until I could place an order. I had tried the Neutrogena (so-so) and picked up the...

    I use the Fair/Clear 100 on top of a very light foundation/moisurizer and it works perfectly. I have a very light and fair tone to my skin, and this works perfectly to set my foundation. I hate the...

    I am giving this product only 2 lippies because of the tiny amount of product in the brush. Almay need to take a look at their drugstore competitors -- all offer far more product for the same...

    Yes the packaging is a nightmare. It either shoots out too much at a time or none at all. As for the makeup itself, well I don't like it. It didn't cover at all and on top of that it broke out my...

    Despite the fact that the brush packaging is a nightmare, like many have already noted, the product itself is quite alright. I transferred the makeup into a sifter jar, and used a large brush to...
