The Edyt Score

4.2 / 5.0

Key ingredients 4.2/5

Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C sit in the foundation. Nice on paper. The shade and finish are what you will notice.

Targets 4.2/5

Shade 050 Fair, fragrance-free, for days you want a base that does not smell like makeup. Skip it if you need full coverage.

Formula standards 4.2/5

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.
