Comments about Almay Smart Shade Balance Pressed Powder:
I have combination skin that's very sensitive and acne prone an this product was just lovely. It did not create or give me a bad reaction and didn't give me any cystic acne. It is a very light coverage but its very even and doesn't highlight dry spots and keeps oil away very well. The powder is very translucent with a bit of color , I would suggest getting a color one slight shade darker than your own since the color doesn't show up to much anyway. It does go on very beautifully and is not Cakey or powdery in any way it is perfect and I was very satisfied.
