Is Almay Smart Shade Blush a good product?

I just got some. I think it looks weird. If you are used to using cream blushes, then maybe you would have better luck. But, I found it kind of annoying to put on. Also, it didn't go well with my skin tone, even though the foundation I bought works fine. The color was just very blah. No bronze tones, but kind of almost orange. It looked very ';make-upy,'; as in you could really tell I was wearing make-up.


The foundation doesn't give very good coverage. Like, if you have freckles or a pimple or something, it will not cover it. It said you can layer the product, but I felt like I was just wiping it off, not putting more on. I also don't like the idea of layering on make-up. Ew. Both the foundation and the blush left my skin feeling kind of sticky. I tried putting powder on, but I ended up super shiny by the end of the day, and I am not normally that way. All-in-all, I was very disappointed.Is Almay Smart Shade Blush a good product?
I personally have not tried it, but looking at the fact that you have to choose a shade, it doesn't seem that smart. However there is a product very similar to it that I believe came out first called O-Glow (http://www.smashbox.com/index.cfm/fuseac鈥?/a> which uses a gogi berry complex which matches that ';rosy'; in your cheeck. It's only one ';shade,'; so no guess work like Almay, which you have to choose your ';tone'; (berry, neutral, or pink).





However, with more ease and technology, comes a higher price. As you can see it's $26, but I'm sure if you wait for your favorite retailer (Sephora/Nordstrom) to have a Smashbox ';special'; like with a free gift or whatnot, it may be a little more worth it! Smashbox also has another product called O-Gloss, using the same technology, and works wonders.Is Almay Smart Shade Blush a good product?
