I use the Almay Smart shade Anti-aging foundation and found it a real gem. Unlike the other Almay light foundations up for review, I found the SMART SHADE ANTI AGING product to be effective in covering without leaving your face look like a plastered masterpiece. Real smart shading as it blends in really well... (have not found any streaks or uneven colour matching when blending). A must have in my cosmetic bag.

Usually priced at around R120, I bought this on sale at Clicks for R69. I think it's a fantastic product if you're going for a natural look. Very sheer coverage, so you should use concealer on top if you need to. It evens out the skin tone and adjusts to your colour and lasts for hours. It also feels very silky and comfortable on the skin. Incredibly light textured. You may need to use a powder over just to cover up any imperfections, but for a sheer, natural look, this product is a must! I will definitely be buying this again. One last mention is that it comes in shades for all skin types(a must in South Africa).

I was excited to try this as I love using more natural products. Seeing that this was 97.4 % natural I wanted it immediately. It also has a nice floral design packaging that I was attracted to.

This foundation has a very sheer coverage - almost like tinted moisturiser. It feels a bit oily but nothing over the top, so its nice to use in winter when my skin is dry. Buff is a good match for fair skin. The moment I started to apply it I noticed this horrible smell. It definitely smelled old - very much like old oil. It has that bitter old smell. It is odd because this line appeared on the shelves not more that 2 years ago. I have read reviews about it before and people really seemed to like the floral smell but it has obviously changed.
Unfortunately, I won't carry on using it because of the smell. I have written to Almay about it and will expect a replacement. I don't recommend it unless you open it before you buy it to make sure it still smells ok...
