If you’re looking for that sweet spot between skincare and makeup, the new IT Cosmetics Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm could be worth a look. Designed to deliver lightweight coverage alongside skincare benefits, this creamy balm formula promises a fresh, healthy-looking complexion without any fuss.
After testing it over the last few weeks, I can definitely see why this could become a handbag and holiday staple.
Shades Available & Swatch
The IT Cosmetics Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm comes in a range of 8 shades designed to suit different skin tones and undertones.
I have been testing shade 215 Light Warm.
While I can definitely make it work, I suspect that 210 Light Neutral might be an even better match for my skin tone.
Because the coverage is relatively sheer and easy to blend, there is some flexibility in shade matching, which makes the product particularly user-friendly.
Comparison
The overall vibe reminds me quite a lot of Monika Blunder Beauty Blunder Cover, although this feels slightly more skincare-led in its texture.
It has a little more slip and feels even more hydrating on application. If you enjoy complexion products that sit somewhere between makeup and skincare, you’ll probably appreciate this formula.
Who Is It Best For?
I think this will particularly appeal to:
- Anyone who prefers light to medium coverage
- Fans of no-makeup makeup
- Dry or dehydrated skin types
- Those looking for easy everyday makeup
- Frequent travellers
- Anyone wanting a complexion product that can be applied with fingers
If you love a flawless full-coverage finish, this probably won’t replace your favourite foundation. However, if ease, comfort and natural-looking skin are priorities, it’s definitely worth considering.
Final Thoughts
The IT Cosmetics Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm is one of those products that makes getting ready feel effortless.
I love the practical pot packaging, the beautifully hydrating texture and the fresh, radiant finish it creates. It’s easy to use, easy to top up throughout the day and comfortable enough that you almost forget you’re wearing it.
For anyone looking for a complexion product that sits comfortably between skincare and makeup, this is a lovely option and one I can see myself reaching for a lot, especially during the warmer months and on holiday.
My REESON Bronzing Balm* layers over it beautifully and it means I can get a gorgeous complexion look super fast with just a couple of products.
