As the “your skin, but better” trend transitions to standard practice for many beauty mavens, foundations have taken a backseat to their cousin, skin tints — as I like to call them. Known as a lightweight complexion product, skin tints take minimalism to the next level. The expectations for a high-quality skin tint are pretty simple: a lightweight feel, a buildable formula, and a barely-there finish. However, LYS Beauty’s Triple Fix Blurring Skin Tint Foundation Stick stands out, offering the best of both worlds with the weightless feel of a skin tint and the coverage of a foundation.
If you frequent #Makeuptok, you likely know why the beauty world is obsessed with the LYS Beauty Triple Fix Blurring Skin Tint Foundation. Aside from its creamy feel and radiant finish, this number comes in not 5, not 10, but 22 shades — perfect to complement various skin tones. In addition, this innovation is described as an all-in-one serum, primer, and foundation stick, which is perfect for those who forget to properly prep before their base makeup application.
In mid-September, the brand invited me to “LYS Beauty’s Slumber Party” to celebrate the launch of the new skin tint. After receiving the shades DG3 and DG6 in the mail, I was excited to get matched by the experts.
It was clear that achieving a natural, skin-like finish was a top priority for the brand. While consulting with brand MUA AleeDion, she shared that the skin tint is full of nourishing ingredients — from green tea extract to rosehip oil — that work wonders to soothe, hydrate, and reduce the look of hyperpigmentation. As a beauty maven tackling hyperpigmentation along the chin area, my ears perked up.
I walked into the event with a soft-glam beat, so I could only get shade-matched along my neckline. However, AlleDion said that finding my match would be a breeze since the skin on my neckline perfectly matches my face. At first glance, we went back and forth between shades DG6 Dark Golden Almond (dark brown skin with golden undertones) and DG7 Cocoa (dark brown skin with golden undertones). However, we finally decided on the former since the latter was a bit too dark on my complexion.
A few days later, I put the skin tint to the test. I started by spritzing Morphe’s Continuous Prep + Set Setting Mist ($19+, Ulta.com) on my canvas. Next, I applied one layer to my face and buffed it with a foundation brush. On first use, I loved how the stick glided across my skin. The product blended seamlessly into my skin and gave my skin a burst of hydration. I also loved that it didn’t feel cakey or uneven when I applied an additional layer to my chin area. Once complete, my canvas looked flawless.
Since the foundation is lauded for its skin-loving ingredients, I added it to my everyday beauty routine for a month to see how it would transform my skin. Aside from giving my complexion top-of-the-line coverage, it helped to gradually reduce the appearance of dark spots on my skin. I also appreciated that my skin didn’t feel dry or heavy upon removing the product at night.
Priced at only $25, LYS Beauty’s Triple Fix Blurring Skin Tint Foundation has completely won me over. This offering provides top-quality coverage and a second-skin-like finish, leaving my skin with a natural, radiant glow. It’s the perfect essential for beauty mavens who love a minimal and low-maintenance makeup routine. Plus, since it’s a stick formula, it comes in clutch for on-the-go touch-ups. LYS Beauty, thank you! You guys have officially upped the ante.
