I had seen the commercials and I really thought this make up would match my skin tone and sadly I was not satisfied, it just didn't seem natural nor did it smell nice.

This product definitely did not do well in matching my skin tone. I also found that the coverage is not great at all and even enjoy a lighter coverage in my makeup. I am very light though so those who are as well be warned this may not be the product for you.

I was really excited to try Almay Smart Shade makeup. I buy other Almay products, so I was ready to try their foundation. I don't know if my skin is just too difficult for it, but it left my face blotchy and very dry. I was really bummed, and ended up switching. I even tried a couple different shades, but the same thing happened.

This was one of the foundations I was excited to try however for my skin type and tone/undertones I found the coverage and color to be anything less than smart for my skin. I appreciate the SPF addition but the fact it didn't blend for my type of oily /combo skin with cool undertones make me look chalk-like and the smell was not pleasing at all!

This makeup is a last resort for me. It has terrible coverage, makes my face oily, proceeds to make my face break out, and it doesn't match my skin at all. When I applied it, my face looked shiny and not much of a difference was there coverage wise. Honestly, this is the thing I dig up out of my makeup box when I'm desperate.

I hate this product. It didn't match my skin at all and didn't rub in very well either. I bought it because I was tired of buying the wrong shades. This was horrible.

it did nothing except make my face the wrong color no matter what shade I tried it was always whitish

I tried this and it left my skin so tight that I could feel the tightness and the color didnt match well to my skin. My wrinkles around me eyes were hidious.

Very disappointing. I tried this product years ago and had high hopes for it because, at the time, I was a huge user of other Almay products. I have fair-to-medium skin with a light olive undertone so it is difficult to find a product that matches my skin. The product claims to adjust itself to match your skin tone so I thought it would complement my skin. Unfortunately, it did not. Instead of blending in with my skin color, it changed it to a deeper color that looked too orange and fake, like a bad self-tanner. It dried nearly the second it touched my skin so I was unable to blend it in well and it left it streaky. It did not moisturize my skin and was actually kind of sticky to the touch. I was very disappointed with the results and it went to the back of the makeup graveyard in my cabinet.
