A bit disappointed

I bought this product because I was after a 'pinky' blush as many of the other products I had used in the past were too browny/orange and looked unnatural for my skin tone. When you first start using this product, it seems like its not showing on the skin at all- it takes quite a few uses to start picking up the pigmentation. This product is good for me because I was after a real pink blush however if pink is not what you're after- this won't work because it is really pink. It also has quite a glittery shimmer to it which I don't mind but I guess depending on skin type/colouring, it might be really noticeable and off-putting. Having said all of this, it is not a product that I would buy again nor would I recommend it- I think there is a much better blush out there for me but I'll use this in the meantime

On the plus side- it looks cute and comes with a mirror inside the compact. I also got a free kabuki brush when I purchased so that was great

Maybe not so smart

I got this at a make up sale a few months ago just to see what it was like. I was drawn in by the 'Smart Shade' products. It was pretty average really. It didn't really show up too well and i had to keep layering it to get a good color. Too much effort for minimal color. No thanks!

What a shame! I haven't had much luck with these products that are meant to match your shade either.

This blush is not for me!

I brought this product because i thought looked lovely! The blush is aesthetically pleasing. You can see the contents through the see-through lid, and the blush is a light col our, with bright pink polka dots!

I also brought it because i thought it would be easy to apply, and need minimal effort and time and I was right. Yes this blush is easy to apply. What more is it has a mirror and brush in the bottom section of the compact, so easy to apply when your on the go, and convenient to take with you in your handbag. However, that is all the positives i can say about this product.

I was honestly really disappointed. The outcome is very minamilistic, and i have to use quite a bit in order to achieve any colour.

Another negative is the more blush i use, the more glittery my cheeks become, and it does not look good when all you can see is glitter and no colour!

This blush looks pretty, and is designed well, but unfortunately, that's where all the positives end. The blush is not effective and so I would not recommend!

This blush did not make me blush....

I found that there was no colour pay off, I had to keep applying this layer after layer to get any sort of effect. And rather than having a nice, pink sheen on my cheeks I was left with what resembled a baby pink shimmer powder on my cheeks. I was hoping that there would be more of a colour pay off. I would not buy again! Thankfully I received this as a free gift from Farmers because I would not buy this.

I'm still not blushing?

I was so disappointed in this product. Thankfully I got it cheap at a sale as I was curious and wanted to try it out. I felt like more concentration was on the glimmer and there was no pigmentation in the actual blush colour! No matter how much I applied it did not deliver to my satisfaction. I felt you could barley see any blush, waste of time applying as I used another over top!

Almay Smart Shade Blush

ARGH I found this blush super chalky, not the texture but the look, it was a strange colour and did not blend in at all really, once I got it blended as well as I could it was very white/powdery and looked more like a fair foundation powder. I paid $8 secondhand on facebook for it and feel really let down. Would not recommend it

Almay Smart Shade Blush

I received this a Free gift with purchase. Stoked! Because I am fair, this shows on my skin as a light pearl sheen. If the foundation is properly set etc it is very faint, howver if it goes onto a dewy dewy finish it tend to show up better. It has a nice pale pink colour within the sheen, and is subtle for work or "no make up looks". I wear just cause I have it but I dont think I will repurchase it again.

Tips: Try as a highlighter instead of throwing it out if you received it as a GWP.

Not Almay's best

Usually I love Almay products, they are one of my go to brands, but I didn't love this blush. The colour is nice but not very opaque once applied. It leaves you with more of a shimmer powder effect than a blush. I was wanting to try the bronzer which looks similar but depth of colour from the blush has put me off.

Almay Smart Shade Blush

I brought this at farmers as they had 50% off, i got it in shade Coral and it looked like it would be nice for the a warmer look, but i find the colour to be a bit off if you wipe it across your finger its light and shimmery however when i put it on your cheeks it looks very orange with the colour being built up and looks odd because it doesn't blend the best. I think i will keep it until summer time when i don't look so pasty and use as bronzer and to add some shimmer
