Reviews

Love this Beauty Balm

"I have been using this product for many years. I love the multi tasking ingredients and how it feels on my skin. It can be very sheer but is also buildable for more coverage. I am in my mid 60's and wear this product on it's own. Very natural look for my maturing skin!"

Kimberlee W. (5/5)

Favorite daily makeup

"This is the best base that evens my skin tone, softens pores and doesn’t settle into fine lines or wrinkles. It’s the prettiest makeup that makes it appear that you are not wearing makeup."

Nicole D. (5/5)

Favorite foundation

"I tried this foundation about 3 years ago and it’s been my favorite since! It’s so lightweight and feels so smooth and my face just glows! It’s the only foundation I will wear"

Kayla (5/5)

The Instant Solutions BB SPF35

"The Instant Solutions BB SPF35 and the Gorgeous Foundation are the only foundations I use. Started using the BB SPF35 years ago, from its beginning. It gives my skin an enhanced appearance, a balanced skin tone, smoother looking skin, overall great quality and it is long lasting, stays in place all day to night. Plus it never feels heavy , it has a silent presence. The SPF protection is an important element for me too."

Joann L. (5/5)

Best Beauty Balm

"Love this year 'round, but especially helpful in the winter when my skin can be pale, dry and dull. This helps even out my skin tone, has a very subtle glow and makes me look polished and yet very natural! Many products with SPF sting, but this doesn't. Just one product that does so much! Love it!"

Catherine A. (5/5)

Too expensive for what it is

"Nice spf with color to it. Evens out skin complexion. Easier to apply with fingers than a brush though. I do think it’s significantly overpriced for what it is, however. I wouldn’t really suggest it as a replacement for foundation but I do think it’s nice for those summer days when you’re at the pool and need spf plus some color coverage."

Christina D. (4/5)

Beauty Balm

"This is the second time , that I buy this product . I have really enjoyed it in the past and have no doubt, that I will love it again ."

When picking shade, pick lighter not darker

"Unfortunately picked the wrong shade. Darker than I thought it would be."

Beauty Balm SPF 35

"I started using Beauty Balm 10 yrs ago and love it! It’s the perfect moisturizer for me!"

Problem

"How do you first start to get makeup out of the pump I have had several but this one won't start after numerous pumps"

Q&A

I have very oily skin and I purchased the beauty balm instant solutions and I am still having break-thru shine. Any suggestions?
Hello! Thank you for your question! We recommend setting the Beauty Balm Instant Solutions with our Translucent Finising Powder for a shine free finish.
I have used Trish McEvoy’s Beauty Booster Tinted Moisturizer for years and went to buy more today and it is no longer being made. Is this Beauty Balm the new equivalent?
Hi! Thank you for your question. Yes, if you previously used our Tinted Moisturizer we recommend switching to Beauty Balm Instant Solutions® SPF 35. It gives similar coverage to the Tinted Moisturizer while also working as a primer, brightener, moisturizer, oil controler and sun protectant.
I have the lightest shade (Shade 1) and while I love the coverage and the way it applies so smoothly and evenly I wish the color was a tad lighter. Any suggestions for something I can mix it with maybe to lighten the color? I’m fair but not usually the lightest color option.
Thank you for your question! We suggest mixing Even Skin® Water Foundation in Fair with your Beauty Balm to easily adjust the shade.
I wear Even Skin® Water Foundation in Tan 1. Which shade should I wear for Beauty Balm Instant Solutions® SPF 35?
We are happy to assist with shade suggestions! Based on your description, we suggest using Beauty Balm in Shade 2, for a slightly tan appearance you could use Shade 3.
The makeup artist who sold me this product told me that I needed the brush for application. She said using my fingers would make my face more red (I am using it to smooth out my complexion and even out the skin tone) and I should buy the brush. Is this true? Or can it work just as well using my fingertips or a moistened wedge sponge?
Hello and thank you so much for your excellent question! May I ask where you bought our Beauty Balm? I’m happy to let you know that all of the application methods you mention will work beautifully! It all depends on what YOU prefer. Trish’s world-famous brushes of course deliver a flawless application and luxurious experience (while keeping your fingers clean!) but we are also big believers in easy, finger-friendly makeup! Your fingers will not make your face more red. A sponge (no need to moisten it) will also work beautifully, it just tends to absorb a bit of product. The main thing to remember whether you are applying your BB with fingers or brush is that you press for coverage and sweep for sheerness. So depending on how much coverage you want, either sweep it across skin or pat it gently into place. Enjoy!
Would I wear Beauty Balm along with even skin foundation?
Hi! If you needed or wanted very full coverage, Beauty Balm CAN be worn under foundation as it is also a very extended wear makeup primer. You could also blend a small amount all over to benefit from its UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum Protection AND treatment benefits. You could also SOLELY wear Beauty Balm OR Even Skin Water Foundation over our Beauty Booster Cream SPF 30, depending on whether you prefer the look of the Beauty Balm or the Water Foundation on your skin.
I have used Beauty Booster Tinted moisturizer shade 3 I tried ordering that shade online from Nordstroms and it was so dark. This actually looks more in line with the color I have. If I order am I able to return if it is to dark?
Yes – we can definitely exchange if the shade is not right.
is this suitable for dry aging (66) skin?
This formula is ideal for all skin types. This all-in-one beauty balm moisturizes, primes and brightens your skin while providing complete coverage with a soft-focus finish. The formula minimizes shine and blurs imperfections for a flawless look and all-day wear. Rejuvenating peptides work to improve the feel of skin while you wear it as UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum protection helps avoid sun damage.
Can you tell me what is the closest thing to the old foundation "golden beige?" I have been using that foundation for 23 years and it's not being made anymore. so sad! Does the beauty booster in medium come close?
Yes! Beauty Balm comes in shade 1.5
