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...
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.
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.

Smashbox Sheer Focus- 11.02.09
I think the product is okay. It didn't dry out my face, it still felt like my face was moisturized.
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.
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.
...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.
This product is perfect for the kinda girl who doesn't like to wear foundation but likes some coverage and moisturizing. Color doesn't look fake and yellow! consistency is great. Not a fan of packaging! however will repurchase!
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.
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!!
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.
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.
