Cute package. I err towards lighter coverage and this felt far too heavy for me, caused my skin to break out. Might be easier for someone with less sensitive skin.

Alright, you makeup mavens. I've been using the Smashbox Always On Skin Balancing Foundation, and let me tell you, it's like discovering magic in a bottle. This foundation is so good, it could make my morning face look like it got 8 hours of sleep... even if I only got 3. First off, the texture. It's smoother than your best pickup line and goes on like a dream. No cakey nonsense here—just pure, flawless coverage that makes my skin look like it's been Photoshopped in real life. I'm talking next-level sorcery. Now, the packaging. The sleek, modern bottle is so chic, it could be an accessory all on its own. I especially appreciate that the shade range is NOT limited and offers a great selection for everyone. It's got this fancy pump that dispenses just the right amount every time, like it's a mind reader. No more squeezing the life out of a tube—this thing's got you covered. The scent is subtle, like a whisper from a fairy. None of that overpowering stuff that makes you wonder if you just doused your face in perfume. Just a light, pleasant aroma that makes applying this foundation a mini escape from reality. The results? Buckle up. This foundation balances my skin tone like a pro, leaving me with a natural, radiant finish that lasts all day. It's like my skin got a promotion and forgot to tell me. Dark circles? Gone. Uneven skin tone? Vanished. I've got that fresh, dewy look that says, "Yes, I do have my life together," even if I really don't. Overall, the Smashbox Always On Skin Balancing Foundation is the ultimate game-changer. If you're tired of your face looking like a hot mess by noon, this is your new best friend. Trust me, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Pretty decent product!

When it comes to foundation I prefer a light to medium coverage, and am therefore picky with the products I like! Smashbox is a trusted brand of mine but not always my go-to. While I was impressed with the shade range and the fact that the coverage is buildable, after a while it started to oxidize and look oily on my face. I don't think I'd consider this foundation long-lasting
not too shabby!

I liked the coverage this makeup gave! I prefer more of a lightweight feel, but for full coverage makeup this didn't feel too heavy. It blended well with my other makeup as well.
Great coverage but I'm in between shades
I think I need to buy 2 at a time and combine them to get the right match, and I can't afford to. I keep trying other foundations but nothing I've tried covers as well and is as easy to apply. It doesn't oxidize on me or seem to increase breakouts. Can get greasy and shiny if you are sweating.

- 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
