theBalm Anne T. Dotes Tinted Moisturizer, #18 (For Light Skin), 1 fl. Oz

This product is impressive overall. It offers excellent moisturizing properties and a subtle glow, making it ideal for a quick daily application. The light tint provides decent coverage while maintaining a breathable feel on the skin. Additionally, the product's size is quite reasonable given its price point, making it a good value.

I use this every day. Blends perfectly with my skin. Coverage is great- need to give it a minute or two to set, can use a beauty blender sponge. I work in an outside temp environment and I still look good by end of day. Buildable, use for day and night. Does not make my sensitive skin break out! Works well with all my products- moisturizer, primer, powder, setting spray, etc. What I love the most is that it is not heavy like a full foundation and gives better coverage than other bb/cc tinted moisturizers I've used, all while giving the best color match I've found. I will keep buying this product. I am satisfied with the price point for the results I get.

I was disappointed when theBalm discontinued their BalmShelter tinted moisturizer – I really liked it. It was replaced by this formulation – Anne T. Dotes. This tinted moisturizer does not have any sunscreen – the old formula had an SPF of 18, so now I just add a layer of facial sunscreen, which is fine, and actually probably better. I used light-medium color BalmShelter, which seems to translate well to color #22 in Anne T. Dotes. The Anne T. Dotes tinted moisturizer is creamier and thicker than the BalmShelter, but the coverage is still light, dewy, long lasting, smooth and natural – I am 60 years old and that is the look I am going for. Also, the packaging is great – I am able to get every last bit of product out of the tube by simply snipping across with scissors. There is less product for the about the same price, but that seems to be the case for most things these days. I definitely like Anne T. Dotes tinted moisturizer.

A little goes a long way. I don’t always want to put on a full face of foundation so this is perfect. It’s soft, buildable, and blends easily. It’s enough to make me presentable without a lot of fuss. It doesn’t dry out, cake, or flake. It does separate a little so you just have to massage the tube a bit before dispensing. I have bought it several times so it’s always on hand.

I tried the Anne T. Dotes tinted moisturizer and I'm impressed. Offering a medium to light coverage, it feels lightweight and doesn't cake on the skin. Make sure to shake before using, it was a little watery when I first opened without shaking. In my video demonstration, I used shade #18, and a small amount, like a dime-sized portion, covered my entire face adequately. What's great is that it's also buildable for those who prefer heavier coverage. Seems to sit nicely and really sits well w a light layer of powder on top. Overall, it's a fantastic product and I will definitely purchase again in the future. I do wish they made a spf version of this. Video is full process, pics are only moisturizer close ups.

This is my favorite Tinted Moisturizer - I first came across it when I was subscribed to Ipsy during COVID. I will use this product and skip a foundation - very even, but the trick is making sure you get the right color.

I love this product because it is light weight on my skin but still provides great coverage for uneven skin tone and blemishes.

If you’re not particularly fond of wearing makeup in the hot summer then this is a good choice. It gives light coverage but is not overwhelming or heavy. Suits my needs and is easy to apply.
