**Absolutely zero retouching, airbrushing, or editing has been done to the models' skin in these photos. They are wearing Sneaky Balm only with NO concealer, bronzer, or blush, etc. to show exactly how the product looks on its own.**
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.
- Vegan + cruelty free

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.

First I ordered the wrong shade and Serena was so helpful shade matching me over email and sending me a replacement shade (I just paid for shipping). I am a fair/light olive (About Face F2O is a perfect match for me) and N11 is a flawless match. This is pretty much my ideal complexion product. The texture is very thin and emollient, although not greasy. The finish is like my skin on its best, plumpest, dewiest day. Sneaky Balm combined with the Lip+Cheek- I look like Rosamund Pike blushing at Mr. Bingley in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice.
Sneaky Balm has knocked my socks off. I've been wearing makeup nearly daily for over 50 years - since I was 12. Sneaky Balm in N13 is THE first time I've ever gotten a PERFECT shade match. I'm blown away, not just by the fact that it matches my complexion perfectly, but also that it goes on so easily and it's impossible to discern that I'm wearing foundation when I have this on, which is truly a first for me (and I've bought hundreds of different types of foundations over five decades). I start with K Beauty's AHC 50++ SPF moisturizing sunblock on clean skin and let that soak in. Then I use a barely damp sponge to apply SB. I bought the 4-pan palette with Sneaky Balm, Lip/Cheek Balm in Light Mauve, contour in Taupe, and highlighter in Pearl. I have an oily T-zone, but none of these Salt New York products make me look shiny. I use a clear blotting powder (e.l.f.'s) after applying Sneaky Balm, Lip/Cheek & the contour, then I apply the highlighter last, pressing it into my skin with fingertips. Other than eye makeup, that's all I need for the entire day. No touchups necessary. This brand is the ultimate "no makeup makeup" that has me looking my absolute best, but not "made up." Feels like a miracle...
