First I have a complaint, in Canada only 4 shades are offered. I bought the lightest one (a little bit too light) because the other three were considerably darker. Overall, it is a nice formulation. Goes on smoothly, feels cool, dries to a powder, not too greasy or drying, a little too sheer for me, but I needed to cover acne scars wich are tricky. I took another point off (first one for lack of colours) because it didn't last very long. I only applied it once a day, with an average amount, and it only lasted three weeks. This is definetly not good for my tight student budget. But if you like sheer-medium coverage, you can find a shade, and price is not an issue, Almay SSC is worth a try!
