Reviews

Wonderful foundation!

"This Almay Complexion Foundation is a fantastic product. It’s impressive that a drugstore brand can look flawless and comparable to high-end foundations. I chose my Summershade, but I blended it with concealer to match my winter shade. It feels great on the skin and maintains a flawless appearance all day."

— SaadiquaA (5/5)

Clear complexion foundation

"This foundation is nice - I appreciate that it has salicylic acid, aloe, & prebiotics. I would say that it has light to medium buildable coverage and leaves a natural finish."

— AnnalieseW (4/5)

Nice coverage

"I do like this foundation I feel like it is buildable. It looks really nice for if you want a natural or a heavy look. I don’t like is that it seems kind of like it’s separates when you add setting spray to it so that is the only con other than that it looks very nice and I did choose the wrong shade but other than that, it’s a good foundation."

— MadiL (4/5)

Such amazing coverage!!

"The Almay Clear Complexion Foundation has amazing coverage. If you have any texture this will cover it flawlessly. The shade I was sent was too dark but I still was able to try it before buying correct shade. The blend-ability applies so smooth and the way it feels in your face feels like nothing. I fell in love with it!!"

— LakeishaR (4/5)

Flawless Skin

"A great foundation. It applied smoothly and had my skin looking flawless. The shade blended well with my skin, and felt light all day. It was super easy to remove off my skin with the Almay cleanser foam. My only issue was the smell. I am not a fan of how the foundation smells at all!"

— RaquelleW (4/5)

Lightweight matte foundation

"This shade is a little dark for me but it is a good summer shade. Once the weather is nicer I will be able to wear this a lot more. It’s very lightweight and non greasy. It doesn’t have any scent which I like. It is more of a matte finish. It was very comfortable to wear and was easy to remove at the end of the day."

— ToniJ (4/5)

Coverage that still looks like skin

"The Almay Clear Complexion Foundation is a reliable staple that balances coverage and comfort effortlessly. The glass bottle packaging feels solid and refined, while the formula itself is creamy, smooth, and easy to blend. It offers great coverage that still looks natural, never heavy. On the skin, it feels lightweight and breathable, with a soft natural matte finish that’s polished without looking flat especially flattering for combination to oily skin. It wears well throughout the day, keeping everything even and fresh without breaking down. Removal is simple and gentle, which always makes a difference."

— ViridianaP (5/5)

Great formula just not my shade

"Almay, I’m devastated because May Clear Complexion Foundation this is not my shade at all, but the formula? It’s actually really nice! Blendable, feels lightweight, and looks natural on skin. What I love the most about this foundation is it has salicylic acid which was made in mind for acne prone skin. Foundation is like silk, and it has no odor. Just wish the shade match would’ve been on point, this would’ve been a WIN for me. Once I can figure out how to color correct so it matches my skin, I’ll do a wear test with it."

— LilyR (4/5)

Moisturizing and soft

"I wasn't sure how this foundation was going to work. I am usually allergic to salicylic acid. However, I did not have a reaction to it at all. When you use it with the face primer, your face just feels so smooth. The one thing it is missing is the spf for me. I also was not sure if the color would work because it looks so much darker in the bottle but it looks great on my skin."

— LaurenB (5/5)

Summer foundation

"Love how lightweight this foundation very breathable and easy to blend onto your skin it’s more semi matte than dewy. Skin looks beautiful all redness covered and gone."

— CrystalM (5/5)
