If you remember the green powders from the 1980s that told you they'd balance out redness, yes this is the same concept... the formula though is much different, because with this you will not go out looking like an alien from outer space!!

Users of Smashbox foundation primers already know the benefits of a smoother appearance to the skin, a softer touch and the all important help in filling out wrinkles - this product has the same benefits, along with the added balancing effect on redness. Note that it doesn't hide redness completely, it balances skinton to look natural.

Use under foundation or alone to help correct any redness in your skintone - blends well using your fingers or with a brush or sponge (a sponge does tend to soak a lot of product up though). You may actually find that you don't need a foundation as well.

Lasts well and if you do use foundation you'll find your foundation will apply smoother and last longer.

A good investment if you suffer from redness, especially on the cheeks and chin.

More than a tinted moisturiser, this is a good light and sheer foundation for those who like some coverage but nothing too heavy.

Gives an even coverage and feels light and cooling on the skin - a great one for summer and those who suffer from hot flushes! The cooling sensation lasts a good part of the day, though you may want to top up through the day if you like the cooling element.

A litle goes a long way, so this is great value. Goes even further if you use with a foundation brush (our testers found this a very worthwhile investment).

A good range of shades.
