TimeBalm Foundation

I was unfamiliar with theBalm, but I thought their products looked interesting. I'm always trying new foundations. A cream foundation is not something I often have tried. I bought it online, and was able to find a shade that worked for me. But I found it kind of greasy, and creasy, and it sat on top of my skin. It never really blended in well. It transferred like crazy for me. I tried …Read more

I only got this because in was 75% off... glad I didn't pay full price!
I kind of like the simple packaging, the lack of scent, and the colour is fine for me (albeit a bit pale), but it's just cakey. I should have known, really, with a cream formula like this, but I've heard such good things about this brand I thought I'd try it.
It sat on top of my skin, accentuating …Read more

Another surprise hit from Thebalm! I love the timebalm concealer in lighter than light (reviewed separately) but thought, I draw the line at a cream foundation. The packaging of both products, both the box and the cheap plastic container, are off putting to me. I only bought the concealer as it was recommended - I bought it just to see - ended up loving it. So eventually, I decided to do the same …Read more

This didn't work for me at all. I have a moderately oily T-zone, the rest of my face is normal. My nose got so oily while wearing this that my glasses started sliding off, and mind you, I set this with powder everywhere.

It also never really sets into the skin - it just sits there, from the moment you apply it until you take it off or (most probably) rub it off by accident, so …Read more

No Silicones!! I may have written a review about this years ago, but I didn't find one. If so, then this is an update. Bottom line: I still own this (not the same container, of course) and I still think it's underrated. This is a full cover foundation that can be the fullest of full, like theatre makeup. When I use it, I apply it with a damp Beautyblender so that I can sheer it out. …Read more

This is possibly the best foundation I've ever bought, ever. The lightest colour matches me just right, the packaging is great for travelling (most reviews I read seemed to really dislike the sponge it comes with, but I think it's practical and quite decent) and the coverage is great without looking to heavy. The price is just right too.

After spending so much money, I think I've found my holy grail foundation. I have oily, problem skin and though I want decent coverage, I don't want something that will weigh down my face, go cakey and annoy my sensitive complexion. Thankfully I've found it with The Balm's Time Balm foundation. The texture of this is gorgeous, really light and creamy but it covers absolutely …Read more

I love this foundation. I used to never use foundation because my face always looked oily and greasy. With any foundation I ever tried. Also matte foundations looked odd. Except for this one. It is great great for oily skin. I often read it's good for dry skin, but clearly as well for oily. My skin glows!! Not oily, not matte, not cakey but gorgeous. This is my HG and I am not looking for …Read more

Sitting here in front of Mac waiting for my pain meds to kick in. So, a quick review on TheBalm TimeBalm Foundation. I wanted to try this for awhile, was in Kohl's looking around, and of course wound up in the makeup department. (Kinda tiny and very bad lighting) Ah, who the hell am I kidding? I went in to look at TheBalm and Cargo. Kohl's is kinda boring, really. So I bought this …Read more

Love it! Good for my dry skin, medium cover. I use a wet sponge or foundation brush to apply.
