Review: Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm




There seems to be this rave of new products out in the makeup world:  Beauty Balms.  Not really a foundation, not a primer, or a moisturizer- it’s an all in one super product that eliminates several steps to your makeup routine.
When I first applied this, it felt like a silicone primer mixed with a tinted moisturizer.  It applies very smoothly and feels amazing on the skin.  For me, it didn’t have enough coverage to act as a foundation and it was so shiny that it emphasized my pores.  I used mine as a primer and it worked well in giving me a dewy finish, but on its own it was just way too shiny (it would be great for super dry skin).
Supposedly it can work as a tinted moisturizer, primer, spf, and skincare complex (promotes cell health and skin’s elasticity)
What is it?
A multi-benefit BB cream that tints, primes, nourishes, prevents, and protects skin in one easy step. 
What I love:
  • The silky smooth texture
  • The extra moisture needed by my winter parched skin
  • The coverage was better than most tinted moisturizers
  • When I used as a primer, it gave my skin a dewy finish
  • Is nice having skincare properties included, making this a multi-tasker
What I hate:
  • The shiny formula emphasized my pores
  • Not really sure how to include this in my makeup routine except for “no makeup days”
Overall, the quality of this product is good- it’s very consistent with most Too Faced products.  If you are looking for something quick and easy to use that has slight coverage, this would be a great product for you.  BUT, if you have oily skin at all, this would make you look way too shiny.
