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!)

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.

I tried the Sneaky Balm because I would like to find something a little less heavy than the CC cream from another brand that I've been using. Unfortunately, it's just not quite enough coverage for me. I knew when I purchased it that that might be the case, because I have a fairly uneven skin tone, but I wanted to give it a try since I was already ordering some other products. I will say that it feels great on my skin, and somehow manages to feel nourishing on my dry parts but not greasy on my oily parts. I also have extreeeemely sensitive skin and it's not irritating at all. I think this would be a great product for someone who's looking for extremely sheer coverage.
I love this formula so much. I am super pink in tone, so the color isn’t quite right on me though. I wish there was even a shade to mix in to make it slightly pinker. But my god the formula is just so good. I received a compliment on how nice my skin looked, as if it were my skin and not my makeup. I would do 4.5 stars if I could just for the color, but the formula is so good I’m rounding up to 5.
I love this product! I hit pan on my original order, so glad to have the new one.
Holy cow! I was on the fence about ordering, I read so many good reviews and fell in love with the company's ethics and standards, but I kept thinking how I don't need another blush, another balm, etc etc. I finally decided to buy (the price point is amazing so it wasn't hard to justify in the end) and to be honest I was nervous to actually try it, because I didn't want to be disappointed AGAIN by another product and company I was excited about. Well, right from the first dab into the balm, I could tell it was different. It really did melt into my combination skin (mostly very dry) and evened everything out and made me feel like a million bucks after not feeling great about my skin! Even under my eyes, which nothing EVER works, this balm corrected any darkness. I also received great customer service when I was trying to pick between two shades. I'm so excited to purchase more and I hope they bring back their reusable compacts!
I recently repurchased this in the larger size because it's such a reliable base. It has enough coverage to make your skin look more perfected but if you are looking to cover an angry blemish or super dark mark you will need concealer (best case concealer from sny is a hit). It works well with just about anything I wear underneath including some difficult Australian spf, and stays smooth all day. Never clings or enhances rough patches, I think I reach for it so often because it's the easiest thing I have. N13 is also friendly to those with desaturated tones. I will keep stocking up on this despite the cost to ship it to Australia because I haven't found anything as good. If you also live in a hot climate I would recommend ordering in a cooler season for shipping. Works well with a powder on top and stays on pretty well but if you're sweaty and oily already don't expect any magic lol
