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.

This is the only "makeup" that i have used for the past four years. I've even tried others, but still come back to this one. Very light (wgt.) and healthy looking.

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.

I have always disliked that with each winter/summer I would have to buy different shades of foundation because my skin tans easily in the summer and it fades as it gets colder. I would easily get frustrated trying to find the rights shades as my skin tone changed. I was looking for some new foundation and came across Almay Smart Shade foundation on the makeuup aisle. I purchashed it and when I first used it I admit I was skeptical because when the foundation comes out it is this white/silver specks of color but once I rubbed it on my face it immediately changed and blended perfectly with the color of my face. Now I refuse to buy any other kind other than Almay!!!!

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!

Feels heavy, doesn't spread out on my face evenly, and not great at matching my skin tone. Not satisfied with this product or it's smell. I will not be buying it again.

I have a yellow undertone to my skin and seem to have a hard time finding the right shade of foundation. I have always worn a sheer mineral powder makeup and felt that I needed a little more coverage. I tried this foundation and loved that it did as it said-matched my skin, however, it didnt have the coverage that I was looking for. So if your only interested in evening out your skin tone, not covering up any flaws, this is a great makeup to try.

This is the only "makeup" that i have used for the past four years. I've even tried others, but still come back to this one. A makeup covers too heavily (besides mineral products of course!) and this Smart Shade makeup is great for skin! Sunscreen, helps prevent and treat acne, and instantly matches your skin shade! Love it!

Wonderful product. I have skin discoloration problems, and this product is wonderful for addressing it. It is difficult to balance foundation, but I just apply with this product and move on to the next step. It also adds an extra layer of sunscreen, but it's onl 15 SFP, so you will still need an appropriate sunscreen. The only drawback is that it only comes in light, light/medium, and medium. Medium is still quite light. So those with darker skin tones are out of luck.
