Smashbox Always On Foundation Review | Milabu

Smashbox created a well balanced foundation delivering the perfect blend of coverage, hydration, and longevity. This foundation is a fusion of makeup and skincare. I reviewed this new Smashbox Always On foundation throughout the day with half of my face primed and the other half without to see which side would perform better. Upon application, the primer side of my face was easier to apply and all of the makeup had a seamless finish and coverage. Same goes for the wear test throughout the day, the primer side shines over the non-primer side of my face.

I am in Canada and have been a fan of Smashbox - my only primer and foundation for about 8 yrs. :)

Great review! Ive tried the primer but not the foundation. It looked pretty - I’m more normal to dry so it may work.

Maybe it's just me but it looked really dry and a bit cakey when she did the close up after applying all her makeup. It could have been the shade being a touch too light so it may be a whitish cast to it but I've seen her do foundations that look absolutely stunning, just like flawless, natural skin but with pimples/dark circles/fine lines etc just completely erased. This one didn't look nearly as natural to me.

It could also be that I have really taken to using at most a light/medium coverage foundation, a tinted serum/moisturiser thing or a mixture of the two as my main face product recently (the Revlon Photoready Candid foundation and/or the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator currently) and it looks like there's nothing on my skin but my redness/dark circles etc are gone.

I love this foundation! But I like better when I apply with sponge. I have short video trying it 🥰

Everything ĺooked good upon application 🥰. I can't shop Smashbox as they don't deliver to the UK anymore.

Which is the other shade you used besides F20N?

Tested the foudation on the primer on a wedding day at 40 degrees celsius when I was sweating out all the water in my body and it stayed beautiful until night after 13 hours when I had to remove it to go to sleep

Do you recommend the Smashbox foundation brush? Im thinking of getting it but for the price i didn't know if its worth it.

[aprildegregory]

I’m interested in the Cielle blush but it’s a little pricey.

[KathrynKimbley]

Hmmm is this even available in the UK??

[Busybee.bee.]

I can totally see the foundation sitting on your skin. You’ve tried way better ones. Your natural skin is better.

[westernncgirl]

Your pores look better on the primer side as well.

I tried Smashbox Always On. It did not work for me at all.

If you use a rubber band to tie your hair up you would not have to touch it while appkying foundation… why do you all leave your hair down?

[dontknowmyname]

For me is like cement o the face. I don't like It at all!!

[Stephws-cn]

[amandagill]
