Almay 5-in-1 Correction Primer, 1 fl. oz. face primer

I love the product, works really well on my pale, freckled redheaded complexion. It's a great base for my foundation and corrects skin flaws. I hate the applicator bottle - terribly hard to press down, have to pop off the head and replace it each time just to get a small amount of product in my hand. Almay, please fix the bottle!

This product has made a difference in the look and feel of foundation when I apply it. When I use it, I get many compliments on how gorgeous my skin is, how great I look "all dolled up." My makeup looks almost air-brushed on, like the photos you see of beautiful models and celebrities whose skin always looks flawless. It really is a primer for your paint, LOL! Great stuff. Will order more, for sure!

Like many reviewers said, this primer does smell a bit odd when you put it on, but the difference in your skin coloring is instant and the scent is NOT. It works wonders for smoothing out my flaws under makeup and leaves me looking better, longer.

Bought with high hopes it would work. Since they packaged it like a high end brand and Almay had a good reputation for good quality products, I had high hopes for it. I don’t know if it was due to my dry skin but the first time I used it the product just slid around on top of my moisturizer. I tried it without my moisturizer on thinking it would then sink in, but it didn’t. It still stayed on top of my skin and moved around. Now I could have manipulated it to work for me if it did color correct, but it never helped camouflage my redness so it wasn’t worth the fight every day.

This is my go-to primer now. I LOVE the color correction and the coverage. I only need to pump once to cover my entire face. I took a before/after photo without primer then with it, to see how the color correction worked. I was VERY pleasantly surprised that it's not a gimmick - quite a bit of the redness in my face was hidden. I also love that it comes with SO much product.

I am a huge fan of the Neutrogena shine control primer but decided to try the Almay smart shade because the price was good and I always like to try something new. After using half the bottle I went back to my Neutrogena primer. This primer smells weird, as others have also noted, and isn't good for combination or oily skin. I felt like my makeup didn't stay a ton longer than with no primer again. It's also a rather thin consistency. Not horrible, but doesn't do the best job.

I just started wearing makeup & asked around what to start off with. So many people swore by this brand & I decided to give it a chance. Cheapest buy was here. Anyways, I love it! It moisturizes my face perfectly & also makes an amazing base for any foundation. It's not oily or dewy like many primers. It's just a really good product.

I have had no issues with the pump. I have very red skin and it toned down the redness better than anything I have used before. I have very sensitive skin; to the point of breaking out in rashes when trying out other primers. I had absolutely no reaction to this primer. I wore it on bare skin all day without any problems. I love this primer!

I have paid so much more for other top end primers but have found this one absolutely great and at a very good price. My liquid foundation went on well and seemed to blend in well.

Es un producto bastante agradable para la piel, no te deja una sensación grasosa como otros primers, si bien no noto que disminuya el enrojecimiento o manchas, logra hacer que mi base de maquillaje dure por mas de ocho horas y no me salga tanto acné, volveré a comprarlo hasta que encuentra una mejor.

Leider steht auf der Flasche 2011 als Produktionsjahr. Das Produkt wäre gut, wenn es nicht abgelaufen wäre (bereits früher genutzt). Ich habe es nicht verwendet, weil der Geruch schon schlimm genug war. Abgelaufene bzw vier Jahre alte Kosmetik sollte man nicht verkaufen.

El producto hace que la piel se vea sana, yo lo uso después de mis cremas de la cara y el bloqueador, si unifica el tono de la piel y la deja suave sin verse seca o como máscara. Lo he usado solo o agregando después base de maquillaje y me gusta el acabo que da a la piel sin ser una máscara de color. Lo recomiendo ampliamente yo soy de cutis mixto y no me gusta el maquillaje de alta cobertura, este producto ha sido todo un descubrimiento para mí.

Ok smell but sticks kept going out and had to relight
