I hate using foundation because i find that it either feels like you are wearing a smelly mask and/or after an hour or so it starts getting oily and either slides off or changes colour. With my combo skin i especially find it hard to find a foundation that won't highlight any dry patches but at the same time really control oil and not make me break out. Almay's clear complexion foundation did just that. it didn't smell or feel cakey because of its light texture but it was heavy enough to even out my skin tone. The true test was that i was wearing it during a really hot summer day (a day when i would normally never attemt foundation) and it actually stayed on and controlled my shiny t-zone. i did have to still make a powder touch up later on in the day but that was nothing to the countless checks and touchups i would normally have to make. Plus the product hasn't made me break out at all. So far this product is great!!
