Best Practices for using Sneaky Balm

  • Remember that it is made to be worn as a tint and apply light layers.
  • Lock down your skin care routine, and be sure to exfoliate regularly with a chemical exfoliant.
  • Apply moisturizer beforehand to prime the skin and even out your skin's natural oils.
  • Set lightly with a translucent powder if you have oily skin and you prefer to keep the shine down throughout the day (if you like a dewy look then feel free to skip!)

Sneaky Balm Hydrating Skin Tint

The sneakiest skin tint. A soft, dewy finish. Long lasting for a hydrating skin tint type of formula, not long lasting compared to a matte finish liquid foundation, so let's say medium lasting? Medium lasting! They're chock full of nourishing ingredients like pomegranate, jojoba, & grape seed oils, and contain absolutely zero nonsense ingredients like talc, fragrance, or mineral oil.

Packaging

Zero waste. We designed this system to be as good for the planet as it is for your face. We spent months talking to recycling experts, and researching all the ways we could deliver these precious square babies to y'all without compromising our standards. We landed on simple envelopes that are both recyclable and made from post consumer recycled paper. They have a small insert in the front to protect the tints, but don't worry if your pan becomes intimate with the insert and things...get a little messy. It's perfectly normal for the tint to get on the back of the insert and won't affect the quality of your product at all.

Truly a sneaky balm! ❤️

This gives good coverage and blends so perfectly it looks like you’re not even wearing makeup. I love this product. It is my favorite for concealing.

Beautiful

I was colour matched by a Salt New York associate online to N09 by answering a few questions and submitting a photo. The colour is pretty close, but ever so slightly too dark, bit for summer it just looks healthy, so I don't mind. The formula of this tint is amazing. I really like how it evens out redness and any imperfections and just looks like skin, with zero flaking or looking cakey or like makeup. I usually set with a translucent powder just to make sure it lasts, but it looks great in photos and just looks like my skin. It feels very lightweight and you don't need to use anything fancy to apply, I usually just use my fingers. Love it! I will probably get N10 for winter.

Do Not Order in the Summer

I REALLY wanted to rate better but my experience upon arrival was disappointing….

Being this is a balm/cream tint, unfortunately majority of my order was a total mess upon unpackaging (due to melting) I should have considered this, however as there was no option to add a cold pack, I guess I figured it wouldn’t be a huge deal…

Overall, I have been experimenting with what I can & I do really like it so far. Probably would give this five stars if it weren’t for the shipping/melting issue. I will take some of the blame since I ordered the summertime, however I would highly suggest folks do not order if it’s going to be like above 70° unless they start to order cool packs go in the packages, Which I highly recommend they do because it’s a huge waste of money otherwise! I may order again come winter to see how they arrive & have full pans to work with.

The good and the uncertain

I’ve been wearing mineral powder foundation forever, but wanted to try something new. I purchased sneaky balm, radiant, sculpt and bronze and lip and cheek (+ 4 palettes). I’m still figuring out how to best apply and don’t feel confident in that yet. I’m used to matte finish and this is not that, so I use a sheer setting powder at the end.

The good: Despite never feeling like I am applying properly, sneaky balm does leave my skin pretty flawless and I’m happy about that. The radiant is *perfect* and you only need a little bit. I think it will last forever. I use the sculpt and bronze as a bronzer and it’s super. I will absolutely repurchase radiant and sculpt and bronze.

The uncertain: I’ve only had this for a couple of weeks. I don’t really feel like I use a lot, tbh, but I already hit the bottom of the sneaky balm. Obviously I still have a lot in there but I’m used to mineral makeup lasting forever and wonder how long one palette will last. Obviously the price is where it’s not terrible to repurpose often, but wish this product was bigger in general. I also have no idea how one would use a brush to put this on or blend it in, as it’s thick and I can only get it out of the palette with a sponge. It’s likely my lack of experience. I think I may like this better in the cooler months where I don’t mind a little shine. The lip and cheek does add a bit of color to my cheeks, but it’s quite sheer for my lips, so I don’t use it as lip color. I also purchased four of the cases as the 4-in-1 was out of stock. 3 out of 4 were lacking enough adhesive for the mirrors to stay in place. It’s not a big deal really, but worth noting.

Really lovely

I've tried a lot of skin tints/balms/etc, and this one is a top 5 for sure. I'm on my second pan, and it gives my dry skin such a nice blurred finish. It doesn't cling to dry patches, and it minimizes my pores very well. I use a light dusting of translucent powder over it, which works well. Highly recommend.
