What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise the formula for feeling weightless despite initial appearances, offering hydration without stickiness and impressive wear time up to 10 hours with minimal creasing or transfer. The reformulated version is considered an upgrade over its predecessor. The main reservation comes from those with oily skin, who worry the high skincare content (80%) may compromise longevity, though the product performs well for normal to combination skin types.

"When I first looked at it and it looked really heavy and waxy, I was like, 'No, this is terrible.' But it has really settled in nicely and the coverage is great. It is looking fairly smoothing on the pores and the texture. It feels so lightweight on the skin. It isn't coming off under my fingernails all day, which I love. It's not transferring all over the place. It feels dry. It feels set. I feel like it looks like my skin, but it's giving me that nice radiant lit from within glow."

L'Oreal NEW Tinted Balm | BETTER Than the Original?
"My skin feels hydrated, but it doesn't feel like sticky, greasy, hydrated. It just feels comfortable, which is really, really nice. Usually hydrating things don't dry and set and they leave my skin feeling a little tacky and coming off on my fingers and on everything else all day. I think I like it better than the original version. I definitely like it better than the It Do It All, which at 5 hours didn't look this good. It was definitely starting to wear off on my nose at 5 hours and on my chin at 5 hours. Really no settling into wrinkles to speak of at all on the forehead. Very not worn off anywhere. It looks really nice, really natural on the skin. Zero wearing off on my nose. At the 10-hour check-in, from a distance, I still think it looks beautiful. I don't really think it looks very worn off at all. I am seeing a tiny bit of wear around each nostril and not so much really anywhere else. It really hasn't been doing anything like sliding around, especially on my forehead."
L'Oreal NEW Tinted Balm | BETTER Than the Original?
"Shockingly, this is actually an improvement over the previous formula. I like this one better than the other one. I think it wears better than the previous one. Generally, it's not as good when companies discontinue and reformulate something, and so I was really pleasantly surprised to see that I like this one better and that I even like it better than the Do It All. For me, of the three, this is the winner."

"I'm curious about how a drugstore tinted balm does at number nine. I'm not 100% down for this. The 80% skincare kind of scares me because I'm like, please start with the whole skincare thing. It tells me it probably won't last as long on my oily skin. Maybe it's not made for oilier skin. I'm not gonna run out to buy this or feel the need to do so."
