Fantastic

Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I love this foundation. It makes me nervous that it is out of stock. I hope Sephora does not stop selling this line. I love so many of their products.

Not for oily skin.

Doesn't stay on my skin. Starts to separate after a couple hours and gets greasy, no matter what primer I use.

Review 3 for TimeBalm Foundation
worth a try
-08.21.12
I ordered this based on reviews ... looking for something with great coverage, since I tend to get rosacea during the summer. It's creamy and pretty easy to blend, though I do have to mix this a bit with another cream to get the right color. I actually find the coverage rather light for a cream, and the more you blend, you more you blend off, basically ... i prefer a cream that *sticks* more, if you know what I mean. I would probably buy again though, as it does wear well and I have found my best way of using it, but I am still looking for that perfect one product that will work for my color and coverage needs.

Review 4 for TimeBalm Foundation
Awesome, Blown Away!!
-03.15.12
Quick Take: full coverage, smooth
This is absolutely the best foundation that I have found, and I am a regular of sephora as well as a picky makeup critic. Goes on Smooth and even and blends well for an all over one-step-fix that removes the need for concealer and gives a glow. This is a thick product and is not for people who want to feel like they are wearing nothing. This will however give the flawless look when you want to look your best. By itself it smears fairly easily, but I spray Urban Decay's "all nighter" make up setting spray over this and I'm good to go all day. I tried Cover FX recently in both the cream and the liquid because of good reviews but was disappointed by them both. Neither one blended as well or gave me the same finish as this did. I returned them to by 2 more time balms in different shades. Only complaint about the shades is they need more so I don't have to buy 2 to match my skin exactly. Awesome! -Oh I'm a combo skin type in dry Utah, In humid climates this might be too much to wear on a regular basis. And I go with sephora full coverage powder foundation

Review 5 for TimeBalm Foundation
Love this line and this product
-03.09.12
Quick Take: cream to powder, long wearing, oil-free
I have been on a mission to find a liquid foudation and have tried at least 15 different samples and since my local store no longer carries this brand I had to order it and it was well worth the wait. It have great coverage and unlike liquid you really ge a natural look without caking the product on. You have more coverage control with this

Review 8 for TimeBalm Foundation
Wonderful Coverage 4.5 Stars
-12.17.11
Quick Take: powerful coverage
I really love this foundation. The coverage is so powerful that I really don't need concealer for blemishes or dark circles. In fact, on weekdays or whenever I want a lighter look, I will use a more sheer foundation and use TimeBalm as a concealer for unsightly areas. Thus, this dual purpose really boosts that value of this product.
I find the staying power higher than average and thankfully there is no scent to annoy my nostrils. The finish is a nice matte, but does not feel too-heavy. Finally, unlike other solid foundations, the amount of the product is fair and lasts longer.
The only complaint I have is the packaging. It has not broke and works just fine, so I feel it would be unfair to take an entire star off for something that works. However, overall it's unappealing (unlike theBalm's other products).
TIP: Forego the sponge. The coverage is strong enough that you do not need to pack it on. Instead, use a foundation brush. The brush will give you that flawless look without looking like a slice of cake and you will save product.

Not for dry skin types
-12.11.11
Quick Take: cream to powder
I have combination to oily at times skin so this works okay for me. But this would be terrible for anyone with dry skin. This makeup is hard to apply using only the included sponge, I also used my fingers and a foundation brush. Once on, it is definitely waterproof. This makeup is really hard to get off; I had to use make up remover, facial scrub and then my usual facial cleanser.

Review 11 for TimeBalm Foundation
Great foundation
-11.29.11
Quick Take: long wearing
This foundation is awesome! It provides full coverage without looking like you're wearing a lot of make up, blends well. The only thing that would make it better is if they made more shades. I'm light blond with light skin and I use the lightest shade and it's a bit too light for me except in the middle of winter. Overall It's an 'A' though, and I keep coming back to this. If you have oily skin or problems with this being 'oily' then just finish with a powder foundation or finishing powder and it will give you the airbrushed look. I apply with a sponge applicator.

Review 12 for TimeBalm Foundation
eh...
-11.16.11
i ordered the lightest color available and it is still a bit too dark and a slight orangish tint. (i am fair, but with dark hair and eyes and whenever i buy makeup i'm handed the beige tones 1st and inevitably need the lighter shades).
coverage was decent, but with full coverage it is very noticable and feels greasy--not creme to powder (but was not applied heavily).
there was a funny smell at first, but that went away quickly.

Great Coverage
-10.13.11
Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
This foundation covers all my imperfections PLUS it doesn't even look like I'm wearing makeup! I use my foundation brush to apply it, honestly I don't found it to be extremely heavy like some said. Regarding the smell, I could barely tell there was a smell.

Quick Take: luminous coverage
This product could work well for those with dark under-eye circles and dry skin. I absolutely loved the creamy coverage and the color ( I bought light/medium). Some said this was greasy but it's more of a hydrating feel. I love the way it covers without feeling cakey and heavy.

Review 19 for TimeBalm Foundation
Great Product bad container
-06.23.11
Quick Take: long wearing
I love this foundation and have bought it many times. The only thing I do not like is that the lid cracks after repeated use. When you come to the end of the product, the top doesn't fit right or has broke a part.

Review 20 for TimeBalm Foundation
Great for contouring on fair skin
-06.18.11
Quick Take: long wearing, great coverage, has vitamins, excellent value, great for contouring and overall coverage
I use the light medium as an all over foundation and the mid medium for contouring. Great texture and coverage but needs to be set with a light dusting of powder. Excellent when used with Benefit's Some Kind-A Gorgeous as a primer. Will definately re-purchase this.
