Cons
- Pigment Is Unpredictable
Best Uses
- Oily Skin
Comments about Almay Smart Shade Makeup:
This foundation stays shine free all day but the pigment color is unpredicable. The "smart technology" is really little pigment beads that burst when you rub the makeup into your face. On more than one occassion the pigment came out too condensed and I ended up with VERY dark makeup on my face which I had to wash off.

Comments about Almay Smart Shade Makeup:
Its very light, a little too light. Works really well as a mild sunscreen like for shopping out or taking a walk in the park. Other than that, don't expect it to hold through an 8hr. shift.

Comments about Almay Smart Shade Makeup:
I absolutely love this product! I don't wear much make-up and this was perferct for me. Easy to apply and stays on all day! The only thing is I wished there were more color match shades. I'm in between shades right now from the transition from winter to spring/summer. I highly recommend this product for those who don't need or like much coverage.

I do not like this product! I bought the lightest shade they make and it still makes my face look orange.

Comments about Almay Smart Shade Makeup:
I was looking for something with a little more coverage than a tinted moisturizer but not as thick as most foundations. This was the PERFECT foundation for that. I am a college student who doesn't want to spend a lot, but still wanted the same quality as the more expensive products. I am so so happy with this. It matched my skin tone perfectly (I am a blonde with fair skin) and the light to medium was great for me. For those who want heavy coverage - you might want to keep looking.

Comments about Almay Smart Shade Makeup:
I have a hard time finding make up that matches my skin and I have even tried Bare Minerals, which on me, makes me look to white or starchy. I have fair skin, but I do tan at the tanning spa. I tried this makeup because it states it blends to match and is fragrance free and I love it! It starts out white but blends to match your skin and I have already received compliments on my makeup!

Comments about Almay Smart Shade Makeup:
I had high hopes for this product...guess I was caught up in their marketing. The foundation went on very nice...light to the touch, not cakey. At first the color seemed slightly lighter than mine but before my eyes turned orange. I was shocked. It doesn't even come close to my skin color. Worse yet, when I attempted to wash it off, I had to wash my face twice and used a light exfoliator mixed with my usual face wash the second time. I did a quick swipe with witch hazel in between and noticed a ridiculous amount of residue which prompted the second wash.

Comments about Almay Smart Shade Makeup:
This is my first time using this product, and so far I like it. I've been looking for a good tinted moisturizer or a BB cream, and this one is nice. I will probably try a few other brands after this one, but there's nothing wrong with it.
