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. I have literally tried EVERYTHING to make this foundation work for my skin.... hydrating primer, gripping prime...

Excellent for Oil control and 40s skin
I'm very oily, in my mid-40s, and still get the occasional breakout. I've had trouble with my foundation faves now caking (prestige brands). I found this one and it is my new go to. I bought the Smashbox oil control primer along with the foundation. It wears all day without caking. It covers just right. You don't have to use a setting powder, but it works good with one if that's preferred. Mid-day I have minimal shine and can go without fixing it. Game changer!
It's fine, but not my favorite
I've been trying to find the right combination of moisturizer + sunscreen + this foundation + setting spray to keep my skin looking as skin-like as possible. This foundation is not as easy as others to create that effect, unfortunately. I usually end up looking a bit dry and my skin looks made-up, not natural. Doesn't seem to matter what combination of light layers and dewy setting spray I use, I can see the foundation and it settles in my pores. Not a great look. I'll be sticking with Easy Blur and my Ciele skin tint instead since those always go on flawlessly and look natural.
Holy Grail
An ulta employee recommended this to me when I asked for something similar to the Mac Studio Fix Fluid, but a cruelty free option. This did not disappoint. I have oily skin and this wears beautifully.
Poor quality
I tried this foundation because the Smashbox 24 hr Hydra foundation was gold. However, this foundation is too matte, does not stay in place, does not cover well, and looks very unnatural.
at first it's great but then it's terrible
It goes on great but than an hour later it's muted, gray and dull. Its also making my skin very dry and causing break outs. They need to bring studio skin back.

- 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
