> 3 dayI have no idea why my local CVS stopped carrying this. Ive heard Revlon bought out Almay (?), so maybe that has something to do with it, not sure. Ive used it for years, its the ONLY make up that doesnt make my skin break out or get hot from a reaction or look oily or look flakey. I love the neutral color - my skin is fair (not pale) with pinkish undertones, so light or cool colors tend to look like clown makeup on me and medium or warm colors look like I have paint on my face. The neutral is just right. The makeup is fairly sheer, so it looks more natural, but you can layer in spots if you have broken capillaries or breakouts. (I would say its not the best if you need a heavier cover up, but it works for light cover up.) In addition to having sensitive skin, I have combination skin, so it gets oily patches AND flaky patches occasionally, but this makeup doesnt emphasize or exacerbate either problem. (Looks best if you apply it when youve freshly washed and moisturized.) In spite of all of my skin issues (now add aging to the mix), I get a LOT of compliments on my complexion, so from that Im guessing the makeup is sheer enough to look natural but pigmented enough to smooth any imperfections. The only thing Im bummed about is that it used to have an SPF rating, and it doesnt anymore. I think I read that the SPF factor (15) was no longer considered high enough to qualify for a rating label, but Im not sure how accurate that is. The whole reason I started wearing it was because I wanted something that was like a tinted sunscreen but for sensitive skin. I hope they keep this product going, I dont know what else I would be able to use...!

16-11-2024Everything seemed great about this product -- the color (Ivory), the texture, and the ease of application. I have mature skin, so I moisturize and use a primer first. And then I apply my foundation with a foundation brush. Unfortunately, as the day went on, this foundation lost its fluidity and started to look flaky on my face. It tended to set into wrinkles and pores instead of blurring them. I had to touch it up and re-blend halfway through my day. And by the end of the work day, my skin started feeling dry and itchy. So part of me does not believe this foundation is non-comedogenic as advertised. This is a good foundation if youre going out for a few hours, but its not a long-wearing foundation you can apply and then forget about.

> 3 dayBeen using this for years. Can’t say enough good about it! I am allergic to a lot of cosmetics, so Almay’s always choice:) Never cakes, smears, or blotches. In my 60s and people have told me several times that I have such nice skin:)

> 3 dayI couldnt find this product recently in my local store and was so glad to find it on Amazon and at a much better price. My local store has it now, but at twice the price. My face never breaks out with this and has good coverage.

> 3 dayI cant believe so many people prefer this foundation! But every thing is personal preference I suppose. This was not the makeup for me. It came out like any other foundation consistency wise but did not spread well at all. Impossible to blend with out a beauty blender. If youre anything like me or any other woman I know I start with a foundation and then touch up the spots that show through with another product. I am going to echo some of the other reviews here and reinforce YOU CANNOT BUILD WITH THIS MAKEUP. At all. Forget even touching up with it again later. It just piles up and gets thick in certain areas. That being said it will last for the day! In fact I had a hard time even washing it off my hands after applying. Personally this scares me, Im already concerned that I miss washing some makeup off. So. if youre looking for something that will not budge and you plan on getting it perfect in one shot- go for it. If you like combining things until youve got the right look like me- stay awayyyy.

> 3 dayLove the flawless, matte look of this makeup. I used this with an elf brand blending brush. I have combination skin, sensitive, and dry patches around my nose and forehead. This foundation gave me great coverage for a few acne spots and did not look blotchy or thick like other foundation brands. Im normally fair skinned but Ive been using flawless fake bake for a summer glow. So I bought the Naked foundation color and its the perfect shade. I will be buying a lighter shade for my normal color. Ive tried multiple foundations- elf flawless finish, Loreal true match, Maybelline fit me, Burts bees BB cream, and others but this Almay foundation is the best for a natural look and I wore it for 8+ hours so far and no smudges or wear.

> 3 dayIm in my 50s and have always had skin problems. My doctor recommended I use Almay for sensitive skin. I have used Almay going on 3 years. It feels clean and I like the way it looks on me. I also like that I am able to use the pump to guide the amount I want to use without wasting it. I started purchasing it on Amazon because Target and Walmart stopped carrying my color.

> 3 dayThis is the best foundation I have come across and I’ve tried expensive brands . I normally wear tinted sunscreen because I like to be natural as possible with skin benefits but this time I wanted more coverage that felt natural and with benefits and I’ve found it .
