    Bought the medium and after several uses it turned orange on my face. so I tried the fair and got the same orange results. I shook it up so that was not the problem. will never buy again.

    Smart shade? What's so smart about it? All I saw, was that it had so much yellow in it, that it didn't even come close to looking natural on me. It is cakey and looks a little flakey against your...

    I had really high hopes for this product, because my skin color is difficult to match with foundation. I have this in the lightest shade range. Every time I apply this, it makes me look orange. It...

    It seems so magical doesn't it? just choose your shade range and let the foundation do the rest. Soooo does not work that way. I have fair skin and this foundation 'thought' i was much darker than...

    I know makeup can't automatically adjust to your skin shade, as Almay claims, but I still thought the lightest shade of this makeup would work for me. Boy was I wrong. I looked like an oompa...

    I received this from a friend for whom it was too fair. I was pleasantly surprised by this. It goes on "white" with little blue beads that burst when you apply it, creating the color. The pleasant...

    This was my first foundation and I hated it! My main dislikes were that it was way too ORANGE for my skin, if you didn't blend it out enough and tried to blend it out more or had waited to blend it...

    Awful product, I suppose if you wanted to use this as a moisturizer it'd be good for that. It offered no coverage what so ever. It was incredibly way too expensive for the quality of the product...

    This product was awful. Dried out my skin, no buildable qualities. In some parts of my skin were darker than others. Didn't match skin tone at all. Made skin look dry and blotchy. WAY too expensive...

    When I bought this product I generally thought it was a neat idea. When I first used it, the shade match was pretty good. The coverage was awful for me though. If you're looking for a medium-full...

    Sure, this finds your "perfect shade" as it claims. IF your perfect shade is dark orange. This might work on the cast of The Jersey Shore, but I can't see how it would work on anyone else. I...

    This is a fine product, I am not wowed but it is not bad. It is pretty much a tinted moisturizer that matches the skin somewhat but not completely. I won't purchase it again. But say if you like...
