AlmayAnti-Aging Foundation, Smart Shade Face Makeup with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin C & E, Hypoallergenic-Fragrance Free, 200 Light Medium, 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

From someone who only wears makeup on special occasions, this is really nice. It's pretty magical in that it comes out of the container as a sort of grayish white shade. Smoothing it into the skin is when the color starts to develop. I got mine in Deep #800PROS:+ Matches my skin tone PERFECTLY. This is tricky since most makeup tend to be either too dark or leaves a cast.+ Looks very natural. I wanted a no-makeup look and this delivers.+ Doesn't irritate my sensitive-to-makeup skin. Felt breathable.+ Went on well over the moisturizing creams and sunscreen I wear.CONS:- No sunscreen in it.- Almost too light in coverage.TIP: Make sure to shake well before using. I opened my first bottle without thinking and water ran out,This is great for someone who doesn't like to look made up. Even though I want a little more coverage, I like this. I will experiment with "building" it a bit. Depending on how much coverage you want or need, that could be important.Because of the positive experience with finding a nice shade with this, I am going to try the concealer and another of their foundations.

I’m always a little hesitant with foundation because I want something lightweight but still smoothing — and this totally surprised me in the best way! It goes on like a tinted moisturizer, but adjusts beautifully to my skin tone and doesn’t cake or settle into fine lines.The hyaluronic acid keeps my skin looking hydrated all day (even when I’m juggling errands, Zoom calls, and laundry!). It’s the perfect “everyday face” product for a natural, glowy look without a heavy feel.Bonus points for being gentle on sensitive skin and not breaking me out. Almay nailed it — highly recommend for anyone 35+ looking for subtle coverage and skincare in one.

I’m in love. I’m 56 years old with medium olive skin tone and I have never found a foundation to match my skin. I usually have to buy a few different colors and mix them. This matches perfectly and looks like my skin only clearer. I tried Il Makiage four times and they never got my shade right and at almost $50 a pop they could never get close. I could buy a years supply of this for that price. Please don’t ever discontinue and if you do warn me so I can buy up your stock.Update 3/21/2025 I have to amend my review somewhat. This product does after a short time become slightly darker on the skin. I bought the medium beige. I don’t like my face to be darker than my neck. So if trying to decide between lighter or darker go for the lighter. This will still work in the summer for me but I’ll be ordering the medium.

The Almay Anti-Aging Foundation, Smart Shade is really nice. It goes on smooth, blends well, and adjusts to my skin tone without looking heavy. I like that it feels light but still gives good coverage and doesn’t settle into fine lines.

Great product I just love it

I like that it gives your skin a nice healthy glow and light coverage. Not heavy at all and looks natural. Does not give full coverage or buildable coverage so not too good when blemishes pop up or if you want a better coverage foundation

I’m nearly 50 years old and my preferred makeup style is simple; moisturizing primer, a basic foundation, fill the eyebrows a touch, a tinted lip balm, and maybe some blush if I feel pale. I’ve tried most big brands of foundations, from drugstore brands up to the most expensive department store items, but never really found an ideal match in a comfortable foundation until trying this product. I have cool-toned, fair combination skin and most foundations look and feel too thick, settling into pores and creases. My skin is also pretty sensitive, so I avoid anything with scents or heavy consistencies because they can cause rashes and breakouts.This foundation is almost white out of the tube but after application and light blending, it matches my skin perfectly and evens my skin tone very well. It feels light and not at all sticky or heavy. I can’t feel it any more than my moisturizer. While I wouldn’t consider it to be moisturizing on its own, it’s not drying at all. The big test for me today was a visit to the dentist. After X-rays and cleaning, the foundation hadn’t rubbed off or gathered in spots, as I’ve come to expect from almost every brand. My skin still appeared soft and healthy with consistent coloration and texture.This has become my daily foundation and I see no reason to swap to anything else. The price here is far better than any competitors as well.I’ve seen some mention that the color didn’t match their skin well. I would advise that you still need to choose the right tone for your skin. I couldn’t apply a dark or warm tone to my pale cool skin and expect it to match. I do hope they’ll release a broader range of colors for a more diverse group of customers as it’s still pretty limited to light skin tones.

I really LOVE this foundation! Very smooth application and natural coverage. Moisturizing! Matches my skin tone and works well to cover my darker spots from sun damage. It lasts and is a good price for the size. You don't need to use a lot
