A Big No
I was so stinkin excited to get my hands on this after hearing such good things from content creators & others online so I'm just disappointed I couldn't make this look decent on my skin.

Really Wanted to Love This
I love Smashbox products, usually. Lately, the foundation I normally buy (Too Faced) is always out in the color I need. So, I've been trying different foundations and wanted to try this one. Surprisingly, the color is a perfect fit, so I truly thought I found my foundation. That all turned to dust when the stuff quickly oxidized on my faces ans became very blotchy. I followed the recommendation of rubbing it in your hands before applying and even used a Smashbox primer. This stuff looked terrible. Such a shame.
Shade Range Lacking
In an attempt to find which shade would work for me, I used Ulta's in-app "translation guide" and imput three different foundations I own. Well, the result seemed questionable. (I do not think that is the in-app program's fault, although I would like it if it simply included an option that said: NONE of these are going to look good! —wouldn't That be nice!! So, feeling rather … uncomfortable with the shade match results (and the other shade of similar ilk, I headed into my trusty local Ulta! Sadly I discovered the following: my skin tone is no where close to any of this products shade. Ugh! I even went in with the closest matching foundation that I wear, which is e.l.f CC Camo Cream in 150 C. —why am i trying to spend More money on foundation??? Prolly because shopping is theraputic when it goes right! Lol With foundation sample in hand, it was idiculously obvious that None of these were gonna be even slightly close to my skin tone. I have classic Irish red hair, a pale but lightly freckled face, and green/blue with copper center eyes. My skin tome is therefore COOL, and my Season is True Autumn —this was profesdionally done. So, basically, if you are Cool toned, look at another foundation!
Nice touches!

This has a perfect medium to full coverage, give you the perfect finish after primer and blender out with a brush gives your skin the best feeling! This is a liquid foundation and perfect for darker toned skin!
Does not feel heavy and look cakey on face!

I love this foundation by far my fav! Coverage is medium to full, and finish feels like a matte or satin. The shade range seems ok I found my ideal shade which I hardly find. I do have some pimples and dark spots and they were completely covered!
My new holy grail
I was hesitant to buy this based on some of the reviews, but I'm very glad there was a sale for diamond members so got it. I used the "find your shade" app and it was perfect. The coverage is beautiful, it works well on my 60+ combo skin, is long wearing, and makes me look flawless. I'm so, so happy with this foundation.

- Q
I wear smash box 2.3 foundation but it's discontinued. What is the exact same shade in the new smash box foundation formula?
- Asked by Sarah
- Official Answer By Smashbox USWe totally understand how frustrating it is when a go-to shade gets discontinued. If you were wearing 2.3 in the previous Smashbox formula, the closest match in the new Smashbox Always On Skin-Balancing Foundation is typically L20-W (light with warm undertones). Depending on your undertone preference and how your skin pulls the shade, you could also swatch L20-N if you prefer something more neutral. We’d recommend checking it out in person if possible, or reaching out with a bit more info about your undertone - we’re happy to help you fine-tune the match!Was this answer helpful to you
