Not a fan. I don't feel I had any positive effects that the product advertises. Wouldn't recommended. Blotchy, drying, overall disappointing. I personally feel the overall experience just wasn't for me.

I was so disappointed with this foundation! I have very pale skin so I was afraid other foundations would be too dark for me so I though this "skin matching" in the lightest shade would be my best option. First it doesn't match my skin and made me look even more pale and it doesn't blend in the skin nicely either. It leaves my skin all patching and weird looking. I would not recommend this product at all.

I wouldn't recommend this foundation. I have to put a lot on to get coverage and I find it leves my skin feeling greasy. I don't think it lasts very long and I used up the package quickly.

I didn't find this to be a good product. It's watery and doesn't offer very good coverage. Take the time to match your tone and get a different product.

When I first bought this foundation I have to say I thought I ws in love with it, until after my third time useing it! I don't know what happened but once I applied it my skin colour went this dark orange like colour!! Now I am a very pale person so you can imagine how unimpressed I was when this happened. My husband got a good laugh when I came down to show he what happened. I washed it off that day and immedently threw it in the garbage, never to look back. I would never recommend this item to anyone I liked.

After months, I'm still on a quest for the perfect foundation. Given how well my primer works, I decided to try a brand with lighter coverage, a finish that would be much more sheer and a friend suggested I give Almay Smart Shade foundation a try. I'd looked at it before and thought it looked interesting, given the way the makeup starts off white and is supposed to blend into your skin tone. Considering my love for Almay's Clear Complexion foundation, I figured it would likely be good makeup.

The problem I have encountered time and again is in the shade of foundation. I find that many are too orange for my extremely fair skin, no matter how light I go. I was hoping that this would be different and picked up a bottle of the 'light' version of this foundation.

It was a disaster. It starts off white and as soon as I begin to blend it into my skin, it turns a horrible shade of orange. I tried various methods of blending, including patting it lightly onto my skin and using smaller and smaller amounts. The only reason I use foundation now is to even out my VERY uneven skin tone around my nose and mouth, and I find that wherever I put this foundation, I just end up with orange splotches, instead of red.

I'm very disappointed in the performance of this makeup.

I was seriously disappointed with this product. I bought it to try it out because it was deeply discounted (not because of expiry but because the colour was discontinued), and after one usage it went into my garbage can. The consistency was uneven, the coverage was poor, and it just looked awful on my skin. It truly looked like I had aged a few years with the stuff on. Perhaps it does not work for those of us with combination complexions. I think there are better products out there that are available at the drug store counter for a fraction of the (regular) price.

I would not recommend this product to anyone! When they talk about gimicky products this is absolutely without a doubt in my mind one of those. Then why in the hell did I buy this? Exactly for that reason. A foundation that can match your skin tone instantly?!?! "Take the guesswork out of finding your matching shade". Plus it's pretty cheap....Well, I gotta say I am really dissapointed in this product.

At first when I started to use it, it wasn't too bad...I would use it if I needed some sheer/light coverage and I didn't have the time to do my normal makeup routine. For a while I thought, "not bad.." I still didn't like it and it definately does not come close to my MAC foundation, but anyways...I had run out of my MAC foundation and totally had forgotten about it. BAD MEMORY! Because I had a party to attend that night. I was already running late so I used the Almay smart shade which I had bought in light/medium. Like 3 minutes after it has set in (and to my horror) it started to turn "fake bake" orange!!! WTH?! I go downstairs to ask my roomates if it was just me and they all said I looked orange. That really pissed me off because I was already running late and I had run out of my MAC.

Thankfully there was predrinks at one of my girlfriends house who had the same MAC foundation and shade I use, so thank goodness for that. What I have learned from this experience is to always have a backup bottle of my old trusty MAC..and to never buy something because I think "oh cool, that looks neat" lol!

Beauty does not come cheap...or easy!!!!

I bought this to replace my current tinted moisturizer. I always dilute my tinted moisturizer with a mixture of sun screen and pure aloe vera gel because I find the amount of colour to be overwhelming and I want to boost the SPF.

I hated this product. For $11 it made me upset that it was so thick and remained white on my face for as long as it did. I tried it without my abovesaid concoction and the results were drab - not enough colour, you have to put on a lot before you notice the shade.

The coverage is poor. I plan to stick with my previous product in the future.

This product is a NO-NO for me! I had purchased it as soon as I saw the add on the tv. It sounded too good to be true but I thought I should give a try, I ended up giving it away..
First, it should not be called smart shade, I used the darkest shade because of my skin color and it just made no sense.
Second, it's messy and doesn't speard as well either.
Third, I doesnt hide any imperfect skin.
The results were bad. I didn't like it all and would not recommend it to anyone!
