4 Stars A good foundation, but….
This is a nice foundation with sheer coverage. The color is good – no visible lines in different light, etc. However, I really don’t see much difference between this product and the L’Oreal Visible Lift foundation I was using before I purchased this. This is not so much a knock to Smashbox as it is a compliment to L’Loreal. When I run out of this product, I’ll go back to using Visible Lift and save myself a little cash.
3 Stars Good product but overpriced
I was able to try out this foundation in the Smashbox foundation kit last year and it was a good find. It has a more sheer texture and when applied doesn’t feel cakey on the skin. For those with dry skin, it gives a nice dewey appearrance and doesn’t settle into any lines. If you have oily skin I would not recommend this foundation, it tends to create a shiny appearance and cause breakouts.
I would say for those who are looking for a foundation with more yellow tones that this isn’t the one either. I was using D1 and at times it was overly red, then I moved to M4 and it was not as red but still looked as if i had bronzer on. Unfortunately, you don’t want to look like you have bronzer all over your face. But if I apply this to just my inner face and not all over, then its great.
To have spf in the foundation was a great addition, except if you’re darker like I am. SPF in photos tends to create an ashy look around the perimeter of the face and it just isn’t flattering. So there are some plus and minus’ about the product so it would be wise to get a sample from Sephora and just see how your skin reacts.
5 Stars Best Foundation Ever
I love this foundation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for full coverage without feeling heavy or looking too made up. I use this with the primer and finish with the Halo Powder which leaves my skin looking airbrushed and beautiful. I have tried so many products and this one is without a doubt the best. Be careful how much you put on, as you control the amount of coverage, sometimes more is less. I am so glad to leave my mineral foundation behind as it filled in any fine lines on my face and made me look old. Try the Smashbox website for free videos on how to apply almost all of their products.
5 Stars Healthy Looking Skin!
I switched to this foundation when my skin became too dry for my usual mineral foundation. I was dreading going back to a liquid foundation because I hate the feeling of makeup on my face. I came across this product at Sephora and it is by far the best liquid foundation I have ever owned. My skin feels perfect (not too dry, not oily!) and the coverage is fabulous. It doesn’t even feel like I am wearing makeup. Skin looks fresh and natural – color matches perfectly, no lines on my face/neck! Hasn’t made my sensitive, acne prone skin breakout once.
2 Stars Disappointed
I tried Smashbox High Definition Foundation after being extremely happy with their awesome under foundation primer, which I highly recommend ( the Primer Only ).
This foundation feels light at first but get’s quite heavy feeling and greasy in the t line of your face after a few hours. It does not stay put because of that 
Also wore it for a wedding a couple of weeks ago, were I danced a bit but not to the point were the foundation should have blotched but IT DID and my face felt yucky and dirty because of it
Now, I have not tried it in winter, it just might be great for the cooler month of the year but just don’t go clubbing or anything that would make you sweat when wearing it.
I gave this product 2 stars for the look and feel it provides right after application and because I haven’t tried it in the cooler month.
Here is how I applied it and the immediate result.
I used a application brush (and after not being happy tried a damp application sponge) to apply the foundation over Smashbox primer.
Right after application and some blending the skin looks fabulous / smooth, poor less with a nice radiant glow. It feels light and like it would stay put.
But remember that’s only right after application and will not provide that same look after a few hours
Wishing you all “Fun, Happy, Satisfied Shopping”

PS** I will give it another shot in the winter month, since I do not want to give up on this product yet. Will update this review after and post it under this reviews comments.
