LYS BEAUTY FIRST IMPRESSION CLEAN SEPHORA BLACK OWNED DEWY FOUNDATION FOR DARK SKIN | Mena Adubea

Have you tried LYS Beauty out yet? What did you think about the products? LMK if you are grabbing this during the #Sephora #VIB Sale.
UPDATE: The foundation is DEWY. Great if you have dry skin or just like to wear a dewy foundation. I prefer for my makeup to be MATTE, so this foundation is not for me.

Ooh thanks! I knowwwwwww, I just KNEW y'all would love it! I knew itttttt!

[@LovelySunshine17]

So glad YT recommended your channel to me!

[@staciehewett1318]

Found this video because I just bought the lys foundation. Your look is beautiful. I used to always want matte, but I'm over 50 and the hydrated, plump dewy skin look is more flattering. And this foundation gives that. But I need to figure out how to dry it down just a little without caking with powder. Very wet looking.

[@gabrielafrancois7175]

love love love this look! I've been eyeing this brand for a few weeks now! thank you for reviewing hydrating products for us folks with DRY skin.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Yes girl!

[@MekaBanes]

The foundation is cute, love the lashes. You look so beautiful 😍

[@besslifetv]

To be honest I loved the blush! I thought it looked beautiful

[@chantrekingwood1994]

Love this look! The product looks like it’s a great quality. And I liked the blush on you it was subtle & like a very soft flush.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thanksssss! Ooh, ok then you'll like that color!

[@latashawestley8779]

Beautiful. Already in my cart for the Sephora sale.

[@samanthahutchinson7581]

I have been recently learning how to put on makeup and I love love 💕 that you list every product link. I would struggle with other videos trying to figure out what product they are using😱. I watched your Mented video and I buy all the products you used with my shade match🙏Im going to try..lol 🤞

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

I hear you! The captions do take some time, but I am so glad that it's helpful! HOping my videos will help you, girl!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cocolacegiggles6896]

Yesss I have been waiting patiently to do a review on LYS and get your thoughts! I have the translucent powder, and foundation. I use a matifing primer on my T zone area. I was on the fence with the blush so I use rare beauty cheek color. Great video!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

TYSM!!

[@muriellejoseph1810]

[@amyhampton1605]

I just placed an order yesterday, but couldn't guess my correct shade match.. I did use the shade finder. I chose DN3 & DG3 🤞🏾I hope they work! Excited to try them.. I also picked up the primer and blush in the shade Inspire...

[@_LisaRee]

@@MENA_ADUBEA yesss!!! 👏🏾🙌🏾 and I appreciate you for doing so!♥️🙏🏾

[@breh1589]

Thank you for confirming which wig I should get

[@nikitabarnes4690]

Great video Mena, I ordered the bronzer that you used as well, haven't used it yet, but I did like how it looked on you. I'm hoping to pick up one of the blushes during the upcoming sale at Sephora and it did help to see how that one color showed up or actually did not show on your skin tone, sometimes it's hard to tell, you know, so thanks again.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Heyyy! Yay - glad I could help!

[@ashleymerriweather6329]

My Girl, I am loving it❤️❗️

[@BluesPirateShip]

It looks soooooo goood

[@TakeitEzae]

Yay!! You're back with moreeee ❤️❤️❤️

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

I know right! hahah

[@drcnicole]

I am a matte girl but I really love this look...I am picking up blush, concealer and foundation if I can get the correct color...

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

LMK how you like it!

[@ShenelleKimberly]

Skin for daaaayssssss 😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LifewithLych]

I am going to try this brand just because of you Mena

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Worth a shot!

[@BelleMbwese]

I’ve only just realised I can get this in the U.K.☺️ EVERY foundation looks good on your skin, I mean🤷🏾‍♀️😍

[@laurianeo5395]

girl where ?

[@CARIBCULTURA]

The look is beautiful though. The older I get I've noticed they hydrated look makes me look younger. LOL!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Yes and yes! You’re right! Hydrated skin is more evident in younger people, so you’re right! The older we get, the more we have to focus on hydration. ESP after 25yo

[@makeupswatchfan575]

This made my evening 🌸💙

I obviously dont know anything because Im sitting here like DPN4 is totally your match lol. The blush color looks amazing to me, nice sheer pop of color but I dont like too deep red blushes. I know those are the types the insutry push on BW but I avoid 'em LOL.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]
