The Edyt Score
4.2 / 5.0
Shade 050 Fair, fragrance-free, for days you want a base that does not smell like makeup. Skip it if you need full coverage.
Hypoallergenic and meant to stay comfortable. Smart Shade can still miss if Fair is not actually your undertone.
The verdict
A fine drugstore base if Fair matches. Do not buy it for the vitamin list.
