Smashbox always on foundation
I bought 2 shades . Im in my 40's with combo skin. I got L10N and L20. Heres my opinion: Its a bit yellow toned to me. Go in person to buy it. It gets darker as it oxidizes, so the lighter ended up the best shade.You have to apply it quickly as it drys down fast, it looks a bit masky upon first applying, but melts into the skin within a few minutes and looks really good for the most part. It does not settle into fine lines or wrinkles. But it transfers really bad onto everything and starts looking worn off and patchy on dry spots as the day goes on. It just wasn't good for me for the price. I would not buy again or recommend.
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.
