Does Smart Cover Really Work?

I invested in Smart Cover last summer after a few years of covering up during the warm months due to some spider veins on my legs and some surgery scars on my arms. After day after day of trying different approaches to using this product, I have to say that I believe it is a waste of money. I have a fairly common skin tone–easy to match for my regular face make-up, but I just absolutely could not get a mixture of colors to match my skin tone. I had to go out and buy a yellow concealer to mix in to even attempt to get a match. This product is probably nest for you if you have a pinkish tone to your skin rather than olive undertones like mine. But the color is not even the biggest problem. It just looks so completely fake…the problem is that it covers your pores and hides the natural texture of your skin, so it’s easy to see where the makeup has been applied, no matter how meticulous you are. It seems the only solution would be to cover the entire body part, but I’m sure that would still look fake and also be extremely expensive (I would have used my entire kit to cover my legs on a single day!) Perhaps a professional makeup artist might be able to make this stuff work, but I would definitely say the average woman would have much trouble.
