I was having trouble finding a foundation to match my skin tone since the two shades I've used by other companies are no longer made. I picked this up while browsing at the local drugstore to give it a try since it was much cheaper than my usual foundations. I was very pleased with the foundation. When I first saw it in my hand, I thought "oh dear" as it was a rather gray mess, but once on my face the shade matched wonderfully. Guess that is the "magical transformation" stated on the front of the package. As another reviewer noted, this is not heavy coverage. You can still see some of the flaws your skin has underneath the foundation. To counteract this, I dabbed a bit of concealer on the spots I wanted to cover and then put the foundation on. Works well. For the price, this is excellent coverage.

This is a light coverage foundation and should be expected to show freckles and/or blemishes.

I used this product and the color that it transformed to was perfect for my skin tone. It also has sunscreen in the foundation which can't be said for some pricier store brands. I had used clinique foundation before I switched to ALMAY and I will never go back! I highly recommend this product, but I would purchase it your local store where it is at least 1 to 2 dollars cheaper than you can find it here.

It is an outstanding product. The shipping was terrible. I finally gave up and received one less item that I ordered and paid for.

Covers well. Doesnt break my skin out. It also doesnt turn me orange which is a usual problem for my skin tone.

I wanted to try this because it's like magic. and finding the right shade makeup is so hard. I read some reviews that this turns very orange, and that is completely true. Additionally, it is very light coverage, so I get splotchy orange streaks on my face. not cute. It's more of a tinted moisturizer and sunscreen than foundation. I use a little with other lotions as a base for my makeup, but only because I already have it. I would not buy it again. I mean, it's effing cool - it is magic. But it's impractical

I have rosacea, so I have sensitive skin and I need to cover some pinkish tones. This is gentle enough for my skin, does what it promises (changes color) and looks good.

Ok here's the deal. This foundation is definitly not worth the 13-14 dollars. It turns your face ORANGE!!! I came to school and people had thought I got a terrible spray tan the day before. i'm very unimpressed. there is one plus which is that the foundation makes your face feel nice, but it gives no coverage. so basically its a mosturizer that turns your face orange!!! and its so orange that it makes your eyes seem so dull!!! i really dont like this product. this was my first time trying almay products and i dont think ill be trying them again.

I have used this product for a couple of years but have always wondered what makes it change color as you apply it to your skin. It covers nicely, and stays with its color while I'm wearing it, but I still want to know its color-change secret. Also, if the tube sits for awhile the product separates and at the end of the tube you may get all gray cream than does not turn to your skin color as you apply it, or you may get all dark brown that goes onto your face looking like mud. Very strange. It's a good product but has some notable flaws.

The product is good. But do NOT order this 2-pack. Even though the packing list says "2 pack", you will only receive ONE. Getting it corrected is impossible, as they will ask you to return the "one" (for full credit) and they will re-ship the proper 2 pack. But when the 2nd shipment comes, it again will only have ONE tube of makeup. The warehouse workers just don't pay attention, it seems.

this stuff is really blah i bought this at walmart because my normal makeup almay tlc color was out so i thought I'd try something new and so i got this when i used it the color went to, too dark for my skin and i got the lightest almay has and second it blends terribly if you put some on and start to blend it will start to peel off if it drys before your done blending and if you get it blended right it feels terrible on your skin it also does not cover anything it just adds a orange tint to your face and it feels terrible ya'll should try the almay tlc i love it
