    I use this product every day. I love that it doesn't clog my pores and matches my skin colour perfectly! It is a minimal concealer, so if you have dark spots to cover, this may not be the product for you.

    This is a wonderful product. I find it very amusing that the colour actually changes to match your skin. It is very impressive. The only issue with this product is that if my hands are hot when applying the product it actually changes to a very dark shade. This is not good as I have very pale skin. :( At that point I must remove what I have applied and reapply after washing my hands with cool water. When the makeup is applied properly it actually hides all of my imperfections very very well. It evens my skin tone and actually appears as though I am not wearing any makeup at all. I do very much enjoy this product and would most defiantly recommend this product to family and friends. The product is a little bit on the pricy side but I find it is very much worth it.

    gI wear foundation every day. I really like this one. It is easy to blend and provides long-lasting coverage. Does not irritate the skin.

    I normally do not wear makeup, because it gives me a rash; I do not have that problem with Almay products. I find it light and easy to put on, blends with your skin tone easily and does not rub off onto clothes easily.

    I really like this foundation over others and I don't use foundation that often.

    I like this one because it went on creamy and not flaky. I often find foundations get flaky while I am applying it, or almost smudgy. I am referring to other drug store brands.

    I don't really get the smart shade thing, but it did look good on me and didn't look like the wrong color.

    I would buy this again, however, I am on a BB cream faze and don't think I will be switching any time soon.

    I like how the product blends in well with my skin tone. I have some unevenness in my skin tone on my face so this product gives me a pretty even tone.

    One little perk with the product is that it has 15 SPF. Not very strong but it's a little bit of help. I'm prone to getting freckles on my face so I wear sunblock on my face. This is a little bonus.

    Overall this is a relatively good product. One thing thought that you will need is a powder to set it. This foundation leaves skin looking a little dewy. So for a nice matte finish, finish off with your regular translucent face powder.

    I decided to try this foundation because I am really not a big make up person and I alway have a hard time finding the right colours to suit my skin tone. I have to say when I tried this product I was happily surprised at how well it worked. It not only gave my face a nice even tone and hid some imperfections but it really did match the rest of my skin tone. This is definetly a product I will continue to use and would totally recommend.

    When I first bought this foundation I have to say I thought I ws in love with it, until after my third time useing it! I don't know what happened but once I applied it my skin colour went this dark orange like colour!! Now I am a very pale person so you can imagine how unimpressed I was when this happened. My husband got a good laugh when I came down to show he what happened. I washed it off that day and immedently threw it in the garbage, never to look back. I would never recommend this item to anyone I liked.

    I love this stuff - I am very fair with redness, and know that this is working so perfectly, that i don't have to pay much attention to how I am applying it.

    the idea of this foundation is pretty amazing although it left my skin looking a bit orange I did not like the finish at all and the coverage was not all that amazing did not help my oily skin at all
