![]() Super creamy and easy to use, this product melts into your skin without looking thick or cakey. Milk Makeup Mini Lip + Cheek: If you give Milk Makeup's lip and cheek tint ($20) a try, you’ll fall in love with it just like I did. I think Tower 28 successfully managed to strike a solid balance between affordability and a quality product you won’t run out of quickly. The packaging is functional and minimalist, so you're really paying for the product itself, which could last for several months with daily use. This multi-use product can replace two or three others in my makeup bag and costs the same amount (or less, let’s be real) as a product I can only use for one purpose. of product, I think Tower 28's BeachPlease tinted balm is priced appropriately. The Value: Affordable for the amountĪt around $20 for 0.16 oz. I paid close attention to how my skin felt in comparison to other cream products I’ve used in the past, and I never felt irritation or like my pores were getting clogged. The smudging was closer to my cheekbones, but it was easy enough to pat back into place with my ring fingers. It came as no surprise to me when some of the balm smudged in specific areas of my face, though. The product stayed in place pretty impressively considering the amount of mask-wearing I had to do as well. I went to the movies, grabbed groceries, and had drinks with friends wearing the Tower 28 tinted balm, and I had a dewy, fresh glow without looking oily. I paired it with a brown lip liner and my lips felt comfortable, hydrated, and had a beautiful shine that screamed summer. I applied the balm on my lips with my fingers, and that was a simple process every time I wore it. If I used my fingers, my dark spots may have shown because of the friction between my fingers and my cheeks when blending the cream into my skin, and I would have had to spend time reapplying everything. To be honest, that had more to do with the brush I used. Surprisingly, I was able to layer Tower 28's BeachPlease Tinted Balm on top of my foundation quickly and smoothly. Like I mentioned before, I have dark spots on my cheeks, and I didn’t want the product to smudge off my coverage. Initially, I was curious about how much time I’d spend buffing the product into my skin and how that would affect my concealer and foundation underneath. After I continued to dust the cream onto my cheeks, the formula blended into my skin and foundation really well, and I knew to apply the product with a lighter hand the next time I used it. When I first brushed the Tower 28 tinted balm onto my skin, the color was so vivid that I questioned whether or not I chose the right shade. I love the way my skin looks when I use a cream blush, and I love a monochromatic beauty look even more, so I had pretty high expectations with BeachPlease. Khera Alexander/Design by Cristina Cianci How to Apply: Use fingertips or a brush, blend, and layer if necessary I paid close attention to how my skin felt and responded to the product, which is suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Putting my favorite cheek products on pause, I used the shade Golden Hour, a stunning vibrant orange, on my cheeks and lips for about a week. When I wear lipstick, I prefer matte textures, but over the past year or so, I’ve warmed up to creamier, shinier products quite a bit, and the Tower 28 BeachPlease Tinted Balm seemed like a worthy product to try for glowing skin and glossy lips. I wear one of the dozens of lip balms I have around the clock unless I’m going out. When it comes to my lips, they’re constantly dry. Applying powder products is quicker than cream for me, and I worry much less about making sure I blended my product enough. I’ve used cream or gel formulas before, but I use powders more often because I know myself: I'm always rushing when getting ready. When adding color to my cheeks, I switch up the brands, but blushes and bronzers from MAC Cosmetics, LYS Beauty, and Juvia’s Place are in constant rotation. ![]() On nights out, I wear Armani Beauty's Luminous Silk foundation. Right now, I use Tarte's Shape Tape concealer on my dark spots and set it with MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder.
