The advertising for Almay Smart Shade foundation promises that the foundation is "So smart it knows your shade. Skin-sensing microbeads instantly transform into your ideal shade."
Alright, I'll admit. I was skeptical as hell about this product. How could a liquid foundation that comes out of the bottle chalky white magically convert to my skin's perfect tone? With only bottles classified in general shades, such as light/medium and medium/dark, how is it possible to tackle a variety of natural skin tones? The questions I had were endless, and with a pricetag nearly twice the price I pay for my regular foundation, my curiosity had to take a backseat to the demands of my pocketbook. Finally, when I found myself with an empty bottle of my regular foundation (even Q-tips couldn't pull out the last remaining drops!), I broke down and decided to spring for newest offering from Almay.
