I love this product! It has become my new go-to foundation. This product really surprised me. I have very pale skin, and find it very hard to find a foundation light enough to match. It comes out of the tube white, and as you blend it into your skin it starts to darken. And it actually does match my skin tone! I have no idea how it works, but I love it. As an added bonus, it has an SPF 20 which is something I always look for in makeup. I burn easily, so I make sure to protect my skin from the sun as best I can.

Since Almay is no longer being stocked at Farmers (once they run out of the current stock), I rushed in to pick up another tube of Smart Shade make up, but they only had anti aging left. So I thought, why not?
Packaging-wise this product comes in the same white tube, though for whatever reason, anti-aging had the more current packaging while the non-anti aging had older packaging (regarding Farmers stock only).
Everything else about the product was pretty much identical to its counterpart. It had little colour balls as such in a white cream. The little balls burst to create the skin matching colour - and on me it was a pretty good match (I choose the light/medium).
In terms of anti-aging, on me it didn't conceal or reduce my fine lines.
The coverage was good and I of course found the colour match good.
Tips: The first contact the product should have is with your skin. I find it best to put the product straight on my face, not letting it touch my fingers too much, but you could also colour match and mix it in on your hand then apply to the face.
