    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 usually buy a tinted moisturizer, so i found the coverage was enough, but it stays on my hands even when i wash with soap after i apply. I have to use make up remover clothes to remove it. Its a little pricey but can usually find a $3 off coupon for the product.

    I bought this product because there is a free mail-in rebate offer. It is very light, i like that the color is natural for me, but I wish it had more coverage. Price is about $17 before tax

    I picked this as a try it free mail in rebate. I find that it matches very well, the coverage is light, so I apply powder. I don't think it is buildable coverage so if you prefer full coverage, this is not for you. I do like it and find this technology vey cool. I think I may be a little old for this type of makeup at 48 , I need a bit more coverage. It's formula is gentle and sent free.

    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.

    I love this. Obviously it's not actually smart shades but rather neutral shades with colour beads that burst as you blend them.. As it is, this is more of a BB Cream/Tinted Moisturizer type product. It has sufficient SPF to provide UVB/UVA protection and offers light coverage that doesn't settle into my pores. I use concealer or a higher coverage foundation where I need it, but for daily makeup this base definitely works for me..especially when I can get it on sale.

    Really disappointed by this. Yes it looks like white lotion at first and when you blend it it turns into a matching pigment to your skin tone. But on my skin I felt like it was so minimal and sheer i can't even tell I put any on. It would be great for someone who wants a really natural look, but It didn't help conceal or improve the look of my skin.

    I really like this product. It provides light coverage and changes to the perfect shade! So great for people like me who have never really worn foundation before. And it has SPF! So great :)
