Love love love
I had wanted to try a new foundation especially since the season was changing. My dry gets very dry and blotchy during the winter so I wanted something that had more coverage. One of the girls at Ulta recommended this foundation and the shade matched so well. It’s become one of my favorites because it lasts all day and it covers a lot!
Only foundation I use!
This foundation feels super light and never gets cakey. It has super buildable coverage. I’ve never had any issues and have been using over 4 years. Love it!
Ok
This is a ok foundation have to uses a lot for a good coverage runs out quick so can be expensive to keep byeing if you have money to keep bying then go for this last all day
Not that hydrating but still like it
This isn't that hydrating of a foundation, I've had this since February and I do like how looks and wears but definitely need to exfoliate, moisturize and use a hydrating primer/spray if you have really dry skin like I do for the best results. It is a medium coverage but can be built to full. This is currently my favourite High End foundation because it isn't crazy expensive and does wear and look very natural on the skin especially if you use a damp sponge
Good coverage!
I really enjoyed this foundation from Smashbox. Despite having oily skin, this foundation didn't make my skin overproduce oil which was a nice surprise. Medium coverage, it covered up my acne scars really well without having to spot conceal! Lasted great throughout the day!
Full coverage
I bought this before a wedding in the hot month of August. I wanted foundation with full coverage and wouldn't make me look like I was melting. It was 44° on the day my friend was married. Let's just say I never melted lol. Wore it all day and night. Didn't even go blotchy after dancing and sweating my but off. Love you smash box
Waiting to experience the magic
I purchased this foundation after watching several reviews on it that made claims that it was unstoppable- well I'm not sure if I missed something or if it's just not for my skin-type (combo, mostly dry). I used the Smashbox Photo Primer and applied it both with a Beauty blender and with a brush but didn't experience anything magical by no means. Still gonna play around with it to see if I can make it work, but this foundation is just middle-of-the-road for me.
Holy Grail for years
I am very loyal with which makeup products I use and this one has been repurchased many times. I like the matte finish and how natural it looks on the skin. The best part to me as someone with oilier skin is that the product does NOT transfer and it really makes for a great base. It doesn't bother my skin either. If I had one criticism it would be it has a tendency to separate around the t-zone if I wear it for a very extended period of time and I am doing activities with it on. The price has snuck up on this over the years so its losing a point for that in the value category. Otherwise I would say its a holy grail!
Love this foundation
This foundation is very lightweight as we females who are oily, we still want our foundation to feel as if isn’t on our face even though we need it to be matte. The shade I received was almost a perfect shade in the color dark, undertone: neutral and in the number 4.2. I probably needed the same color but in a warm undertone. The coverage on this bad boy is OUT OF THIS WORLD; it is crazy that this product is true to what is does it will say. I love that it has hyaluronic acid which is super beneficial for your skin that can treat burns, sores and the list goes on. The coverage is so dope that it literally COVERS EVERYTHING on the face. The finish is matte but it isn’t just an ordinary matte, it’s a matte that shows as if it’s your own skin and show super smooth/soft. It is super long lasting.
Won't be buying this again
I bought this foundation upon a recommend, but it is pretty hard to find a matching shade most of the shades for medium skin are way too peachy and the others are too green, it leaves a sticky feeling on my face, it does not really last more than 4 hours w/o primer, with primer 6 hours, and this foundation promises at least 15 hours, it doesn't have that great coverage, even drugstore brand Milani foundations have more coverage than this foundation, I'll be returning back to my MAC Studio Fix Fluid & Estee Lauder Double wear and I won't be buying any foundations or concealers from Smashbox ever again.
