Almay Smart Shade Makeup

I love this foundation! It goes onto the sponge white, but as I apply it, it slowly changes color and matches my skin tone. It is very light and smooth. I have worn it all day, and the color stays the same. I have never worn a lot of makeup, but at age 72, my skin has rosacea and I have a scar from skin cancer removal. The works to even out my skin tone, but I still have to use a concealer on a dark spot near my nose. I have laugh lines and lines around my mouth, but the foundation stays smooth and doesn't clump up in my wrinkles. I love it! The only problem I have with it is the bottle is very small and expensive. I will watch for sales!

I was skeptical. But this feels light and provides perfect coverage with no cakey, greasy buildup. It matches my skin tone perfectly. I’m truly impressed after buying designer makeup for 30 years!

It takes a lot for me to write a review, whether it's good or bad, but I feel the need to review this foundation. First of all, I have a ton of makeup. Mostly high-end. I've always been curious about color adjusting foundation, so I figured I'd try the cheap brand first. It actually works. Don't ask me how, lol, but it goes on white like moisturizer and it blends to my skin. I would consider this medium but buildable coverage. I added a second layer and the coverage was more of a full coverage. It does not have a heavy feel. It does not set into my fine lines. This is probably the best foundation I have ever worn, and it was just a few bucks!

I do like the color-changing formula and it adapts to my light skin tone pretty well. However, it seems to go on a little bit dry, so I definitely need a primer or lotion to use with it, which is slightly disappointing. Coverage is good, but does tend to show some blending lines due to how dry it is. A quick additional blend with a make-up brush smooths it out pretty well, so it’s not a real dealbreaker for me. But, since I don’t have dry skin to begin with, it’s not a big deal; people with dry skin may have more issues with it than people like me that have normal-to-oily skin.

I have very light skin & it's really hard to find the right shade. This is the only product of skintone matching that looks natural on my skin. It's a perfect match with a light/medium finish. It helps even out reddish areas and dark circles. It's exactly what I'm looking for. Make sure your face is properly moisturized to prevent creeping or build up in one area. The product lasts all day with minimal fading. I use a liquid blush that easily applies over the foundation.

The best cream for everyday use! Covers redness but not heavy like make-up, it feels light on the skin and creamy. I love it! And it totally matches your skin tone. Very recommendable!

The first time I used this, I thought it was really weird. It comes out white and there are little beads of color that don't appear until its smeared on. I've found it's best to use this like it's a moisturizer. Just use your hands to apply it and blend it in. Once you've done that, it's like you're not even wearing makeup. It's weightless and not greasy. Shockingly awesome product for this price!

Ok product, makes my skin dry. It really does match your skin tone, light wear, doesn't last that long. Non sticky.
