Anastasia Beverly Hills - Beauty Balm Serum Boosted Skin Tint

This tinted serum stick is perfect for regular travelers. It goes on super smooth and the shade was a perfect match for my skin. It is super moisturizing and I’ve found lasts throughout a day without it fading much. Has a very subtle, but not overwhelming glow. The scent is pretty nonexistent- maybe a small powdery smell but nothing overwhelming. Overall I’m pleased with the quality, especially for the price.

To start, I am not one to spend time putting on any sort of makeup, I prefer a bare face. Very little goes a long way. I purchased color 13 to cover a dark spot left behind from acne. All you need is 4 items! 1.PRIMER 2.THIS SKIN TINT 3.A MAKEUP SPONGUE 4.SETTING SPRAY. I have naturally oily skin so I knew to use a primer prior to using this creamy skin tint. It is a vital step! After I rubbed on the skin tint, I used a makeup sponge to lightly press it into my skin. I then used dewey setting spray to lock it all in place. FAN YOUR FACE DRY and go on about your day! Using this product with primer and setting spray lasts me all day. At the end of the night after vacationing in the Bahamas, I was still dewey and fully covered. It didn't look cakey, no creases, and still felt lightweight. It washes off very easy and didn't clog my pores. I am writing this review a week after using the product just to ensure It didn't cause a breakout. It didn't!! I will absolutely buy more!

This item rolls on the face like silk! It is unbelievably smooth and the color is an EXACT match for my complexion. It was sold out at every Sephora and other store and I could find it only on Amazon. It took a few days to ship (which could possibly be due to its high demand). It’s compact size (think small travel size deodorant) is ideal for on-the-go touch ups or full face application. Just roll on and go! No need for sponge or makeup brush (which I usually use) to blend. It is lightweight and makes my skin look flawless. This is a game changer in makeup.

Very oily. Bought cuz a friend recommended for my combination skin. It’s worse than foundation. Extremely oily feeling. Still gives the caked in look. Not impressed and it’s expensive!

I really like the concept a coverage. But it leaves my face oily and shiny through the day. They should create an oil control product line. Overall I like it.

I like the easiness of this , theres just a huge gap in shade range. Also it is very greasy on my skin and wears off rather quickly because of this. It's something I use when I want to do a light quick makeup look

This stuff is amazing. I complimented a friend on her skin, and she told me she’d been using this in place of her foundation. I now do the same. My skin glows and this stuff does not clog your pores (which is huge for me). I notice an immediate difference in the health of my skin when switching to a different foundation compared to this stick. It’s lightweight, light coverage, but buildable enough to lessen the look of imperfections. It’s the best! And, it has skincare in it! I use this as my base and add a little concealer, then finish with sheer powder since my skin runs oily. If you’re debating on getting it, do it. It’s great for no-makeup, makeup days and totally with the money! I’m on my second stick.

Tried this using a tester at ulta and was initially super impressed that it didn't crease in my lines, which is my #1 priority when it comes to picking foundation. The shade match for neutral skin wasn't bad. It's also not bad flashback-wise. Unfortunately, the negative aspects make this product worthless. If you accidentally scratch or rub your face, it will transfer right off and leave an embarrassingly obvious streak of makeupless skin. I felt like my makeup was melting off my face and separating, even though I don't have oily skin and it wasn't hot outside. You absolutely cannot put powder on top of this -- it will just cake up in a gross way. In comparison to other tinted moisturizers or even tinted sunscreens, it's hard to build up coverage with this mainly because the formula is so oily/does not set. So, adding more product just contributes to the oily mess and disturbs the layers of pigment beneath. It clogged my pores too. I tried layering the balm stick over zinc sunscreen and a chemical SPF primer to see if the skincare you use underneath would make a difference, but neither of them worked. Even with the bare minimum skin prep, it's just too oily. I think if this were more pigmented so you could use it sparingly, it could work, but the pigment is barely a whisper. I really wanted to like this, but I think they need to use less oily ingredients. And for over $30? Absolutely not. I feel like ABH did not bother testing this on anyone before selling it.
