Perfectly sheer - 11.17.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

I love this product in the luminous shade! So versatile and wearable. On days when all I want is a sheer veil of coverage I wear this alone, on days I want to add some oomph to my regular foundation I add a squirt of this to the mix. Perfection! This always gets my skin complimented.

Wears well and feels great on. Never caused a skin issue for me. Seems to last and last...

It's ok.... - 11.14.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

This is the first time I've ever used a smashbox product. I was hoping for a little bit better coverage, but if you're looking for something sheer, this should be good. It only works alright as a moisturizer.

I've bought this a few times and its a regular product I use on a daily basis. The moisturizer goes on light and doesn't cause breakouts for me. I like that it makes my skin look radiant and healthy.

Great Tinted Moisturizer - 11.11.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight, sheer to medium coverage, easy to travel with

This moisturizer is the perfect color. As a African American woman, It's hard to find a foundation that matches our skintones. This moisturizer blends into the skin well and has just enough coverage to even out any slight imperfections, while leaving my skin with a glow.

Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight, oil-free

I have been using this product for well over two years. I love that it has a light feel and gives my acne-prone skin adequate moisture without making me break out or feel greasy. I haven't given this tinted moisturizer 5 stars because I would like it to have just a tad more coverage.

I think the product is okay. It didn't dry out my face, it still felt like my face was moisturized.

I keep coming back to this product. - 10.31.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

I've tried a lot of the "latest, greatest" tinted moisturizers and liquid foundations, but I always come back to this product. It has better coverage than most liquid foundations, so say nothing of tinted moisturizers, yet it blends so easily and looks dewy and radiant. I have very oily skin, so the oil absorbers built into the formula really help keep my skin from going into meltdown by the end of the day. I use a little mattifying powder foundation over it to set it and for a little extra coverage and oil control where I need it.

Best tinted moisturizer I've ever had - 10.28.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

I've tried a few other brands, Clinique, Mary Kay, but smashbox has been my favorite of them all. It blends nicely into the skin, totally light weight, takes about 5 seconds to apply. I use it to balance my skin tones instead of a foundation. I'm a nurse so I love that it gives me a nice finished but not make up'y feel before I throw on my scrubs and run off to work! Working in the health care field I also love that this moisturizer is paraben and fragrance free.

Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

...yes I will continue to buy it! I do use it over a moisturizer, but it is not really necessary. I seem to breakout easily, but this product does not break me out at all. Very lightweight.

Smashbox Sheer Focus - 10.20.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight, blendable

I like when a product has spf 15 or higher so I don't have to add a separate moisturizer. I can use this alone as foundation. If you're looking for a luminous, glowy effect, this is not the makeup. It only has a slight sheen that's barely noticeable. If powder is applied over it, you really can't tell. It looks like a regular tinted moisturizer. It's nice that it blends right in w/my skin tone and I don't have to use any other product with it. My skin is light w/a slight golden undertone. I was really hoping it would have a bit more "glow" though because it is called "Luminous". It just wasn't very illuminating.

Quick Take: more like a foundation

After reading many reviews I decided to give this "tinted moisturizer" a try and I surely regreted doing so. It honestly is a lot more like a a foundation;both it's texture and coverage. I ended up returning it and getting a bare minerals powder foundation. If you want a light tinted moisturizer I would recommend Stila Tinted moinsturizer it's so light and sheer and not greasy.

Great Tinted Moisturizer - 10.19.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

i use this over Philosophy's Hope in a Jar and finish with a very light layer of Smashbox halo and it really works wonders.

it is light, but with enough coverage for me.

I would definately recommend for those who don't really want FULL coverage.

Best tinted moisturizer ever!! - 10.16.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

I purchased this for the first time last fall. I have olive colored skin but in the winter months I get pretty light. I use the Smashbox Bronze Primer with this and it gives me a beautiful glow all year around. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product and you will too!!

Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

I love this tinted moisturizer, however, they don't offer a whole lot of shades. During the summer I can get along with the medium shade but in the fall I don't get quite as white as the light.

Excellent Tinted Moisturizer! - 10.14.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, contains SPF, lightweight

I really like this moisturizer. The color is great for me as I am very fair. It applies nicely and doesn't leave me shiny. I just have to add a bit of concealer where I need it and some powder, and this is a great summer/warm weather/everyday look if you don't want to go for a full foundation.
