    not good for contact wearers

    do not buy this if you have contacts. you will get it on your contact, and it will not come off, no matter how much you scrub at it. Otherwise, its alright. — 1 year, 9 months ago

    Hate it!!

    I bought this because my sister has always used it and loves it and she lives in Florida. I can never seem to match my skin even now at 56 and I live in Georgia and the humidity is bad. This makeup does not blend well and even though I bought the lightest shade I still look orangey and have that line at my jawbone that shows I have foundation on. Plus it feels very heavy to me..not comfortable at all. I won't be buying this product again. — 1 year, 10 months ago

    Not enough coverage

    If you are blessed enough to have skin with neither wrinkles or blemishes, then I can see why this lightweight make-up would be great. However, I am not one of those people and this did little to improve the look of my skin. — 1 year, 10 months ago

    Smart Matching Perfection!

    It took the work out of finding the right shade, just make sure to blend the beads well on your face. If not blended it make be caked and uneven. Once you have applied some don't apply more or it will make it flake off. The downside is you have to get it right the first time. But over all excellent foundation. — 1 year, 10 months ago

    it really works!

    I love this foundation. Started using it about a year ago and ever since it has been my favorite. As other reviewers have said it really does take out the guess work. It covers up blemishes and stays on all day for me. — 1 year, 11 months ago

    Just Bought it!

    I bought this on clearance and thought I should try it since the weather is getting hotter and I don't want to use a lot on my skin. I love the way it feels! Its smooth, lightweight, and doesn't feel caked on. I think its a great product. So glad I bought it! — 2 years, 1 month ago

    Excellent coverage and really does match skin

    I love this Almay makeup. It goes on white and then automatically blends into the perfect tone and color of your skin. Gives excellent coverage without the feel of a heavy foundation. Great for when you are in a hurry as it blends beautifully with fingertips and goes on smooth and fast. The coverage is perfect. — 2 years, 2 months ago

    Neat!

    This is a really cool foundation. You pick the colour family that you are in (ie light, medium or dark) and it comes out of the tube almost white and then as soon as you start blending it changes color to match your skin tone. I accidentally got one shade too dark and it still blended to match my skin tone perfectly. Not exactly sure how this works, but i think it has something to do with pH. Gives a nice even coverage, is matte and stays on all day long! It's a little expensive for what it is, but it often goes on sale half price at shoppers drugmart. — 2 years, 2 months ago

    Dumb shade

    I bought this product because i heard that its great for vacations where you gradually get more tan, the makeup will change to your skin as you tan. I heard that it comes out white but not to be frightened it changes to your skin tone once applied. yes it came out white and morphed into a skin tone, but it was NOT mine. it looked yellowish on my skin and the color did not blend naturally into my shade of skin. thats the whole point of it right? not only did this product fail to match my skin tone as promised, it settled un-smooth and pitted on my skin, as well as dried it out and flaked (i am oily!) I returned this product and statyed with my old organic tinted moisturizer from physicians formula. — 2 years, 2 months ago

    Magic

    I had just about given up pn finding the right shade of foundation for me until I found this. It totally matches. However, it is important to blend it carefully or it will settle in your pores and look uneven. — 2 years, 5 months ago
