I have been using TheBalm BalmShelter Tinted Moisturizer in shade medim for quite sometime and have come to following conclusions:
What I liked
- TheBalm BalmShelter Tinted Moisturizer is very pigmented, which means this product will last me ages.
- It has silky smooth texture which blends instantly and gives a natural look. I don’t really use powder on top.
- It stays on for good 6-7 hours and has SPF 18 (which i know is not sufficient but some coverage is better than no coverage).
- TheBalm BalmShelter Tinted Moisturizer gives sheer coverage, which is build able and doesn’t leave white/ gray cast.
Its paraben free!!
Swatched
Blended
What I disliked
- BalmShelter Tinted Moisturizer calls itself Moisturizer but does dry out. I have to use a good moisturizer underneath to avoid flakiness.
- Availability- Can only be ordered online (I ordered mine from Strawberrynet.com)
- Only 3 shades available – Light, light-medium & Medium. People with dark complexion (beyond NC 44 i guess) will be disappointed.
Will I recommend: Yes, especially to oily/combination skins
Will I repurchase : Maybe Yes

Looks like a nice product. I have never tried TMs before. maybe first i will try Ponds one and then this too…but don't think it will be moisturizing enough for my dry skin.
