DANESSA MYRICKS Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Shades 5 + 6 - Demo + Wear Test | Alicia Archer

[@AA-bk1oe]

Not going to lie, i paid for one of those PMG classes and it was an hour of nothing but an advertisement for her second mascara. We learned virtually nothing that class and it made me so sad because i wanted so badly to get onto the PMG hypetrain. I was yearning to learn from her and see her in action. I had a fresh notebook open, pen ready. 😭 I love the amount of effort DM gives during her IG lives.

[@aliciaarcher]

I hear you, friend! And I don’t want to take away the enormous achievements of Pat. And I think we agree that it’s fantastic to see Pat rise as high as she did. But I still yearn for that education, and unfortunately the priorities have shifted for Pat and her brand. I did enjoy the Divine Rose II class, but that was the only one that I felt was helpful.

[@beckybeighley]

@@aliciaarcher this is good to know ab her classes

[@nykka3]

Lol her master classes 2 years ago were well worth it and were based on products (motherships, base products) and techniques I was interested in. I could t see myself paying anyone to learn about mascara for an hour.

[@erikar6041]

This may be the first product that truly did something amazing for my look! I am 52, with oily skin and still have breakouts. Not much in wrinkles except forehead. Major pores. This as a primer changed the look of all of that! It honestly blurred, kept me from shining without looking dry, and my makeup looked great for 8+ hours with no additional powder! I’m in love and thank you so much for your thorough reviews as always! Grateful for your commitment. 🥰🤗🙏

[@AA-bk1oe]

I freaking love this balm. It's like my skin but better while not being overdone like a foundation. 😍

[@gabbysoto04]

OMG thanks for this I think I will buy it, I have seen so many weird reviews mostly people not knowing what to do with it but I think Alicia us always amazing with her reviews

[@AA-bk1oe]

@@gabbysoto04 i hope you love it! I certainly do 😆. Right? I think..a lot of people are trying this out with a heavy hand and expecting it to be something its not. This product is perfect for people who love the no makeup makeup look. I feel the same, she did a great demo.

[@aliciaarcher]

YUS! I agree, and it surpassed all my expectations!

​@@aliciaarcherNo, shade 5 DOES work on you. It looks good.

[@fairmaid366]

This balm might be something for me who dislikes most foundations, tinted moisturisers and such like. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[@donnac.3273]

I picked it up with the quickness. It made my 57 skin looked amazing. I was given so many compliments. It has a natural looking finish so people were asking about my skim care rather thank the makeup. I also used the Danessa Myricks serum. '

[@thinkwy13]

I have been a Danessa Myricks user for years. I have oily skin so I didn’t buy the Yummy Skin but I bought the Blurring Powder. I loved it the first day I used it. I wear #7 with my foundation. It’s beautiful in the morning and I’m totally gorgeous by 5 pm. Ready for dinner, out with the hubby. I’m going to get a couple more in case they sell out.

[@jrmetmoi]

I love the Danessa Myricks Vision Cream Cover foundation though

[@snehasadie]

What is your mac shade. Thanks in advance

[@annetteprice]

I’ve had this for a few days and it’s just a beautiful product. I have very oily skin, so I did not hesitate to purchase (unusual for me) and I’m so glad I took the plunge. I do find - despite having oily skin - that I have to ensure I moisturize any typically dry spots directly before applying, because it’s that good at keeping shine down and those spots will appear dry once this product hits them. But as long as my skin is nicely hydrated, I am good to go. I actually look forward to doing my complexion, which is so weird for me! If you have oily skin, definitely try this out.

[@sandra.mendes279]

Im super impressed with th balm powder it’s beautiful and amazing. I have combination dehydrated skin I use the balm powder in shade 9 Match’s perfectly , can see that I could use shade 8 as well, and would be just a Tod lighter, but i rather have 9 and use a concealer with it . My shades ref Wayne goss shade 2 Pat mcgrath shade 26 Bobbi brown golden almond 6.75 Danessa yummy serum f G19 vcc-5&6 MAC nc50 I hope was helpfull

[@LBDBeauty]

I couldn't wait to try this product. Got it in 8 & 9 and filmed with it. After 5 1/2 hours, on my very oily skin, it held up exceptionally well. I have liked everything I've tried from Danessa and it's quickly become one of my favorite brands for complexion products.

[@thatjedininja]

Great timing! Took a chance on this product and waiting to receive. I’m happy to see a review. Danessa is quickly becoming a favorite brand. Love her ingenuity

[@aliciaarcher]

Amazing! I can’t wait until you try it!

[@yassercastillo2607]

Miss Pat be doing make up for numerous runways the entire year, which has to be soooo much work to develop since the range of designers she works with is soooo wide. She also seems to collab a lot with british vogue. I think she has much more on her plate than Miss Myricks who seems to have full focus on her brand and tbh no one is doing it like her, her brand is so interesting and exciting!

[@aliciaarcher]

This is a great point! And as you laid out, this is the primary difference between the brands and makeup artists. I’m sure Pat had to relinquish a lot of the responsibility of running a brand, since her first priority is being a high fashion runway artist. Thank you for sharing this perspective, because it provides the necessary context.

I have the same feeling when it comes to dear Pat I love her . But she feels distanced I wish to see more of her

[@michelleromani2870]

I combined it with the Wayne Goss foundation. It almost survived a heat index of 108 down here in South Texas. It didn’t do well as an eye primer, though.

[@yassercastillo2607]

Your final look was soooo everyday make up goals, super gorg.

Do you have an oily skin?

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

@@mykitm7104 Hi 🥰 yes, specifically oily acne prone skin that also gets dehydrated. So I have a little bit of everything lol This stuff controlled my oils so well and I don't have to touch up at all, which is unheard of as someone with oily skin. But it also didn't dry out the areas I am dehydrated. I swear that Ipsalite ingredient is like voodoo magic for my skin! I hope they never discontinue it

[@empressbongani8230]

Listennnnn DM's yummy serum primer is LIFFFFEEEEE!!! For everyday, I wear it alone and highlight with Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Highlighter + Balm Duo in Bronze. I share a similar view about not covering up my scars too much, but i also invest in my skincare regimen so that helps. I'm still trying to figure out my shade in the Yummy skin foundation though. I've tried 19G, 17W and 16N. 17W seems to be a closest match. The finish is phenomenal- not too matte and dewy enough to make skin look healthy. Love to see what her balms look like on you. I think the balm is right up my alley. Love this product!!! DM Beauty is phenomenal.

[@gabbysoto04]

That is so great to hear I might give it a try

[@aliciaarcher]

Well I might have to deal with the sneezing and try it because it looks so geeewdd!!!

[@loytoco]

It looks like a great product! I love how you explained everything. It was hilarious when you started with "maybe some mascara" and then got on a roll till the gloss 😁.

[@sheilaking]

Hey Alicia 🤗 I’ve been using the balm powder shade 5 as eye primer and I’ve been enjoying. I have dry eye lids many times eye primers are overly drying and looks textured. So I moisturize, but then it breaks down the primer and creases. I found this balm over my eye cream covers discoloration, gives my lids a matte finish with very little creasing and my eyelid texture is blurred. I want 1 more in shade 4 to lighten my eye area🌸

[@aliciaarcher]

I forgot that someone mentioned the same use, and I will definitely try that today. Thank you, Sheila 😍 Big hugs!

[@sheilaking]

@@aliciaarcher I hope it works as well with your skincare routine as it does for mine. Can’t wait to hear all about it 🥰

[@sxyngel]

[@Tinahgirl83]

I didn’t know this existed! I don’t like wearing makeup because I always feel cakey and it looks overdone, but I will definitely try this, because I’m looking for something that just improves what I already look like, but doesn’t cover me up. I’m ok with blemishes showing through, so this sounds perfect. Thank you!!!!

[@-TotallySaneCatLady-]

I ordered this and can't wait to try this. It honestly looks like "your skin but better" -- who doesn't want that, right? Even the wear test it still looks amazing. I live outside of Atlanta and curious how it will hold up with the high heat/humidity combination. I guess I'm about to find out.

[@itschefevelyn]

I'm sold! It looks AMAZING on you! As a VERY oily skin girl, I haven't tried any of her complexion products. I think I will get 2 shades, the universal shade and one for a foundation. I wonder if I can use the universal shade almost like the tatcha silk canvas primer. Plus I want to put this to the test in the Texas heat. I'll keep you posted.

[@aliciaarcher]

WHEW! Texas heat makes for a great tester 🤣 Yes, I think you can use the universal shade as you would use the Tatcha primer.

[@gabbysoto04]

Thank you so much Alicia for your review You always do such a great job. I watched other reviews but others seem to ve confused on how to use it but I know I can trust you to go over everything and tell us exactly how to work a product in to our routines

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, Gabby! I’m happy to have tuned into Danessa’s live, as that helped my understanding of the product to better present its benefits!

[@xoAlero]

Got mine a few days ago, its incredible at oil control but doesn’t give a flat matte finish (speaking as someone with oily skin). A must buy imo!!

[@LadyJoolree]

Reminds me of a similar product that Mally Beauty did that I used to buy about 10 years ago (yes I used to buy from QVC!) It was a balm that dried to a powder and worked quite well for me for a while but definitely had a learning curve with application. I think it also used to dry out a bit in the compact. It'll be interesting to see if DM's stays 'fresh' over time.

[@kosewa1]

Wow, I thought the 5 will be too dark for you. It’s matched you perfectly! I loved your review. I wasn’t sure if I should get the universal or pigments powder but with your review, I’ll head straight for the pigments. Thank you. Your reviews are so informative🥰🥰🥰

[@locreciapelham9894]

That Yummy Skin foundation is excellent for a date night sexy sleek skin makeup look😍 I apply mine with the Wayne Goss #1 foundation brush. You're going to love it when you can tolerate it. The Balm Blurring powder is over the top with excellence in a product as well!!!👍🏾👍🏾

[@smileyshani2252]

I’ve been loving the universal shade as a foundation primer and am really enjoying it!

[@jewelnabq01]

When using the universal as a primer, does the foundation last longer or do you use for more coverage? May I ask what type of foundation you use, i.e. cream, liquid?

[@smileyshani2252]

@@jewelnabq01 of course! I used the universal for primer with liquid foundation. (I will sometimes use shade 9 on its own as foundation). Since I have oily skin, the product works well because it definitely keeps me from getting super oily throughout the day. What I understand is that the Upsalite in the product is one that helps with oiliness. It’s almost like it gets better throughout the day. I think because I don’t try as oily, then my makeup lasts longer. And you honestly only need a little bit, like most of Danessa’s products. Hope that helps a bit!

[@midlifemom5829]

How would this look on textured mature skin where I have fine lines on my dry cheeks and oily t-zone?

[@kareym.3115]

I just tried this product today for the first time and i too am in LOVE. i use Dm yummy skin foundation in shade 7n and it's perfect when I'm feeling glowy. I have very oily skin and used shade 3 today in the balm and maaaaan it withstood setting up the kids kiddie pool in 80 plus degree heat, cooking dinner, folding clothes putting the kids to bed etc etc. New favorite product easily

[@bibimbap5917]

Hi Alicia, do you happen to know your MAC foundation shade? This looks so innovation and perfect for oily skin people who want a light coverage no makeup look. I will definitely order it

[@candimayes]

I am usually a full coverage girl but I like the idea of a no make-up make-up look. Unfortunately tinted moisturizers have just left me disappointed. Cc creams are ok but...well, I am still looking. I came across your video today and this could be my answer. This looked great on you & seemed like it would be a good, relaxed weekend kind of option. Thank you for your reviews Alicia, they always help so much!! 😉❤️

[@amberr6589]

Thank you for reviewing this. I’ve been so curious about it. It’s on my list for sure to try when we get a little closer to summer.

[@taya12020]

I bought the universal because I was scared of the shades lol. I wore it yesterday as a primer and was highly, highly impressed! I used it with pat’s foundation and it looked smoother. Also my oils didn’t break through like usual. This stuff is just like Linda’s blotting powder because of the upsalite. I’m pretty much combo and I didn’t find this balm to be drying at all.

[@ariyanasway9531]

Hey Alicia thanks again for a detailed description of Denessas powder foundation. I will be trying to find my shade and I'll put it to the test in my cycling session. Stay healthy, be yourself, spread beauty wherever you go.

[@genevieveve]

So glad to see your review! You are always so thoughtful and thorough! I was really excited about this product. Seems innovative, new, fresh, exciting! I wasn't able to get it to work for me, unfortunately. My expectations were not necessarily that it would perform flawlessly as a primer, foundation, and powder all at once (too good to be true), but I don't think it really functioned well as any of those things separately for me either. As a primer, it blurs, but because of that, I just felt it settled as a film over my skin, instead of melting in. Reminded me of a cross between the Elf Putty Primer and a Benefit Porefessional, with oigmet swirled in. It sets in the way that it dries to a powdery finish, but it just didn't stay on my skin. It remained flexible, which can be a good thing in some instances, but I found it to transfer, melt away, mix in with my oils and create a pastey mucky mess. Buildable coverage is nice to have because of the versatility, but I didn't find this to be long lasting, natural, or shine controlling at all. I was hoping for this to be the J.Lo triple threat of base products, but it just wasn't any of those things for me. Extra points for innovation though, definitely a thoughtful release.

[@aliciaarcher]

I’m sorry to hear that 😮‍💨 Can you use it as something to set with? What are your current go-to’s in the complexion category at the moment?

[@genevieveve]

@@aliciaarcher I think we are all always in search of that miracle complexion product, I'm willing to try a lot of things. Typically I wait for a review (I love your base product and brush reviews!), but I was just too excited to wait on this release! Unfortunately it doesn't work as a touch up product, and it's not useful as a "powder" product either, so I just didn't find it successful in any application. I've been finding success with the Maybelline Perfector 4-in1, which is really odd because it's not a brand or product type I gravitate towards, typically. Also the Essence Tinted Primer. Both have a moussey sort of texture, a light tint, serious blurring qualities, and transform to a bit of a velvety texture on the skin. I was surprised by them both on my skin that leans toward the oily side in the hot humid summer months. I've also been getting good use out of a couple of cushion foundations from Yesstyle - the PeriPeri Ink Matte Blur, and the Laneige Matte Cushion are both great for on the go touchups. I don't usually prefer a super matte finish, only because I think it looks heavy and gunky once my oils mix in, but all of these products seem to do well. Even the Wet N Wild Impossible Primer looks good with zero makeup on top just to smooth, slightly mattify, and perfect texture on no makeup days. Not everyone product is going to be for everyone. I think I set realistic expectations so if something doesn't work for me, I just look at it like "onto the next!" Thanks for your review. Even though the product didn't work for me, there was a lot of other useful info in your video. I'm going to check out the Live IG events from Danessa Myricks to learn some new tips and tricks for some of the other products I have from her brand!

[@SH-wk6po]

This is definitely going on my wishlist to try, thank you for sharing your thoughts Alicia!! 👏👏 My face is very oily 24/7-365 so I'll be very interested to see how this performs on me (both in the short-term and long-term). As always thanks for updating us on your thoughts about the fragrance as well; very useful to know. I think I'll be ok with the ginger root oil, but I have noticed that squalane can really make my skin freak out, so this will be interesting as it's in the top 6 ingredients lol.

[@TracyD2]

What is upslight technology? I can’t keep up. Lol Not sure my dry mature skin would like this but it sounds intriguing. I can’t wait for what else Danessa Myricks comes out with. She dabbles with innovation and I like that.

[@aliciaarcher]

🤣 I believe it’s an ingredient that acts as mini “vacuums” that tackle excess oil and sweat. A lot of “blotting” type products rely on this formula to be more lightweight in nature without feeling heavy. Like older powders felt, in order to achieve the same shine free finish. It might just feel ok on dry skin! Some ppl have said that as long as they prep well, the fishing is not over drying 👍🏽

[@nancytipton7602]

This product sounds perfect for our horribly hot, humid Arizona monsoon season! Not sure what shade to go for, though. Either 4 or 5, I'm guessing? As I am MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing WP Foundation shade NW30-35, depending on time of year?

[@lacquered2533]

[@yensid4294]

I'm very curious about this product. I like the sound of the blurring & that it feels light since in the Summer ( it's normal to hit triple digits here) I don't want anything heavy like It Cosmetics CC cream on my face on top of my Josie Maran spf. It just feels too much. Pretty convenient & easy to use/apply quickly with a dense brush--I like that too! My only concern is covering my redness 🤔

I can see a huge difference between the different sides of your face! I gotta try it. I prefer lighter coverage products because they don't tend to pull orange like foundations.

I am now thinking am I olive rather than golden, weirdly both types of bases work. So confused. Anyway I think this will be my first DM purchase 💃💃 been dying to try her.

I’ve had these in my cart for about a week and I can’t decide what color to get!! I’m between 7 and 8. I wish Sephora would hurry up and get it in stores so I can see it in person. Might just roll the dice today and try 7 cuz I can’t wait lol. I also want to grab one of the multi-chrome pencils before the other color I wanted sells out. I just love Danessa and her artistry.

I'm almost out of my current light foundation and I'm so curious about this one. The only thing that has stopped me is how dry my skin is. But maybe for the summer.

thanks for this! I was waiting for your review!

I used the serum and balm powder. More sandpaper than yummy. I found the formula quite drying. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

[@AmiseRawlings]

Love this very informative and helped me to make a decision
