Danessa Myricks doesn’t miss. She does live makeup tutorials on her IG page with her team every Tuesday showing how to use her products. The blurring balm powder is meant to be a foundation to use alone OR it can be used as a base for a liquid foundation. It’s supposed to dry down to a powder like finish. The upsalite in it is meant to keep you from getting oily throughout the day but you can still set it with a powder if you prefer. I use it all the time! I love it on days where I don’t want a heavy full coverage beat. Definitely a holy grail. If you get the groundwork palette I recommend watching her use it bc the textures are unique.

[@jem2789]

You and I are foundation twins and I wear shade 8. It will not require concealer, powder, primer....nothing. and it lasts all day. It looks better and better as the day goes on.

[@sonset88]

I use the blurring balm powder alone. It's great for a quick work routine, and it lasts me all day.

[@nykia26]

Love this balm by Danessa Myricks so friggin much! Like it’s legit one of my holy grails.

[@AndreaRenee00]

Girl yes!! I’m so glad I finally tried it!!!!😍😍😍

[@joannamccloud]

​​@@AndreaRenee00I got 2 do you really like the 8.5 better than 8 have you been able to compare them yet? We dont have the balm in store I match in her foundation to your shade 18 G

[@daniellew.879]

@@joannamccloudhey 8 is Warner than 8.5 so if you are neutral undertone you need 8.5.

[@jacquelinedaniels87]

On me-I have olive normal leaning dry skin and it looks like trash on me. I’ve tried 10000 times to make it work :-(

[@daniellew.879]

@@jacquelinedaniels87have you tried using a gripping primer first and then using only half the amount Andrea did in this video.

[@AJ56909]

In the colder months I don’t set with powder but use a primer. In the Summer, yes set with a powder. I have oily skin. U should try the Universal shade to use for the rest of ur foundations. It’s 😍😍😍

[@jamiladays2214]

@AJ56909 are you saying to use the universal shade as a primer under other foundations? I have oily skin as well

[@twitterblackdove]

​@@jamiladays2214hi. That's how I took it and also from watching other reviews. I read comments here that the color undertones may not match some people, Andrea and I are foundation twins for the most part but undertones and formulations are tricky. Having written all that, I'm purchasing the universal shade and then waiting to see what powder I may need this summer. I've been getting away with little to no makeup for most of my adult life but I also read that the DM blurring powder helps with laugh line coverage. That's what really sold me because I was this close to buying the Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse products (black packaging) and/or Glow Recipe Strawberry BHA blurring drops. Did you buy anything?

[@GlamGirlChelsea]

Girl I am a Balm Powder STAN! So glad you’re loving it and the shade is spot on for you! I don’t have to set the Balm Powder with powder, but sometimes I will if I want an even more blurred effect on the skin.

[@nykia26]

Please try the new Mac Studio radiance serum powered foundation. It made me believe in MAC again

[@JAG115infinity]

Yes that brush has been sold out since the first day of the sale. Maybe before. Not sure what you use in the winter for dry legs arms etc. but maybe try the body shop’s olive or avocado body butter. Works so good!!!! Black Friday they are half off.

[@AndreaRenee00]

Oh wow i hope they restock the brush!!😭 And omg thank you for the body butter recommendation! Definitely gonna check it out especially for the sale!!😍👏🏾

[@iamspeaking6686]

I was just reminding another influencer about the Body Shop butters and oils. Also try out Origins Soufflés, (not creams) Ginger is my fav and I use the scrub as well.

[@aryah66]

I use it as a foundation at times; during the summer heat I'll put on a lil Sephora Microsmooth powder, but during this season it's good on its own. Love how effortlessly beautiful the end result turned out!

[@MrsZShoffner]

I’d be happy to see you Get the Huda beauty grunge collection it looks amazing

[@nikki-xc9kh]

Omg GIRRRL! That looks perfect on you. The color and the finish…So beautiful!! I have been using the universal one for a while and I LOVE her but I am def gonna try this one because of you!!

[@chandamochaswirl]

Looks amazing. I wear it alone and under foundation. Very comfortable and versatile 😊

[@johnneladderley03]

Oh wow, that Denessa Myrick's Yummy Skin Powder Balm looks absolutely flawless on you, it's the perfect shade match👌🏾. It's always a pleasure hanging out with you while you try out new makeup/beauty products. Take care and have a blessed day 💜🙏🏾.

[@TriniDedeFloyd]

Girllllll.....not me trying a makeup product before you 😂. I LOVE that balm! Probably if I get this shade I'll use it as a foundation. I currently use shade 8 as a primer and I'm in love. It also works great with other foundations. You look so pretty 😍 💗. Thank you so much for the upload and God bless 👸🏾 👏🏾 🤎 🥰 🙏🏾

[@mrshappytobenappy]

I LOVE the yummy balm. I do set it with powder and I won’t get shiny all day.

[@jascook5127]

You are my foundation twin and so happy you try out 8.5 because that was the shade I have in my cart ❤.

[@GirlofGlamour89]

First off, that Merit serum is everything. I’m on my 2nd bottle. My skin is dry and I always put it on under my primer so my makeup doesn’t cake up (on quick days it’s a primer by itself). Also, the Danessa Myricks product is amazing! If you apply it right, it looks so flawless even on dry skin.

[@jacquelinedaniels87]

Please tell me how to make this work for my dry skin I feel like I’ve tried it all.

[@GirlofGlamour89]

@@jacquelinedaniels87 so funny enough I use that serum she uses under my foundation and it helps immensely. I also make sure I moisturize well. Then I use a veryyyy small amount. I think that’s the key for dry skin. I apply with a brush then smooth with a damp beauty sponge. I dont powder the face..just where I put concealer on top.

[@jacquelinedaniels87]

@@GirlofGlamour89 I need to get the merit serum. I’ve heard amazing things. And it doesn’t irritate your skin? I’m mega dry bc of retinol

[@GirlofGlamour89]

@@jacquelinedaniels87 nope no irritation. It’s so light you really don’t notice it but at the time I feel the hydration.

8.5 is a perfect match for you. It is definitely obsession worthy😁

[@kolikole2440]

Hey Andrea🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️ Danessa Myricks products are top tier!! I use the balm under makeup and by itself. She has a new yummy skin 2.0 kabuki brush coming out on Nov 2nd and it looks promising. Cay Skin has a really good lip balm set😊

[@sweetbaby00000000]

Hiiiii beautiful first let me say I am so happy you are trying out 8.5 because I have 8 and it was not a real good match it was to something lol. I was using it as a foundation but I did go in with my other products like my concealer and I did set it with a light layer of setting powder because I was afraid it would move through out the day. I loved the way it made my skin feel and it helped control my oils. To me it felt like it didn’t dry down and like set set if that makes sense. I love the way it looks on you. I am like so excited to get 8.5. Oh I also got the universal shade to use as a primer and it did help blur my pores. But one thing I tried that was a EPIC FAILURE was Danessa said you can set your foundation with it and honey honey honey that was a complete mess my foundation moved and shifted…….gurl I had to wash my face. When I watched Danessa use it in her tutorials she did not set it.

[@michelledorch7588]

LYS blush Trio gift set looks so pretty. And I finally got the Kosas concealer for my dry under eyes

[@PoshFancy]

So pretty! I don’t set the balm with powder. I use it like a skin tint/ powder foundation. This is holy grail status for me!

[@luvnola]

Does it set or does it remain like syrupy? I can’t find the word but like tacky? Looking to purchase for dry skin. Thank you 😊

[@daniellew.879]

I love the balm powder. I have the tinited and universal one. I set it lightly with a powder during the summer but let it be when it’s cold outside but I’m in Chicago with my combo skin. And number 8 is warmer than 8.5.

[@jelanee3744]

I STAND❤!! This is an oily girl's dream product. I wear it as a foundation daily, with LYS cream blush and set with powder. It's a 100/10 for me!! And I ❤ you and your channel, been watching for years now!

[@Jadior03]

you can do anything you want with it! you can go over it with a powder, a liquid, a cream, and it wont move. It can be your primer and foundation in one or either or. if you get a darker shade it can be your contour/bronzer. You know Danessa, it can be used as whatever you want it to be used for. You can even do your underpainting and then use the balm!

[@lucretiaschaffer1600]

Try the new Huda Beauty eyeshadow palette. Pretty Grunge

[@FayyLenee]

Girl... I SWEARRRR by the blurring balm! I can't believe this is your first time trying it! I can't do my makeup without it! If you have her Skin Tint, try pairing it with the blurring balm. Chef's kiss! When I wear it, I literally use it in place of a foundation. So I still apply concealer, bronzer, blush, setting powder, etc... basically my full face but just use the blurring balm instead of foundation.

[@RK-pi8ms]

Love the balm powder!!! I don’t go in with a powder because I have dry skin.

[@jem2789]

I would love if you reviewed the Dior concealer and foundation.

[@officially_taiyo]

It definitely lasts all day without any thing else. It’s saved me on days i was rushing and had no time to do a full beat

I have not tried it yet but I will be there Friday before my doctor’s appointment. Happy Wednesday beautiful

[@crystaljackson795]

Girl yes you are late to the game, I wear mines as a foundation as well. I don’t have to set it , only powders that I put on my face is my bronzer and blush. It’s the best, it has taken the place of all of my other foundations.

[@robynsolomon-lawrence8525]

Yes sometimes we do love short and sweet. Appreciate this video because I am your foundation twin. Thanks hun 😊

[@simplyzaneta2748]

I loveee this product so much. I wear it both ways by itself or with all my products. I will top it with Sephora microsmooth powder when I do a full face and it pairs really well.

I happy to see you did a review on this , i wish you did 8hr wear test though :(

[@cherylhurst269]

I too am obsessed with this product, the texture is amazing! I do use it as a foundation, sometimes i set it with my Dior setting powder, 15:40 but I don't need to. Oof, I didn't notice a smell.

[@savannahd1457]

I love my Merit serum!💕 I just ordered my 2nd bottle. I tone, use my other serums by The Ordinary (argireline on my forehead and maytrixl on the rest of my face), eye cream, Merit serum, then sunscreen(day)/moisturizer(night).

[@Search4Cherise]

I love the DM Blurring Balm 😍😍😍 i use it alone & under foundation & paired with concealer. I also do set it with powder! Just because I’m oily! But it does help with oil control! 😍

[@tiffanyjavonne]

Would love to see how you would do a pretty grunge look withe the huda palette

[@nykia26]

I use the universal as a primer

[@ericka77]

I have the universal shade in the blurring balm and mainly use it on the oiler parts of my skin. In summer I use powder over it but now it is getting colder I will not need any powder but I have combination skin. Definitely a repurchase but as much as you get it will take a while to use it all.

[@Liiior]

Ohh and if you haven’t try it yet the cream fenty blushes are so so good!!!

[@andreamagwood7050]

That is definitely your shade. They still have the buddies duo in stores. I got it mostly for the universal balm powder shade to use as a primer even though I sometimes use the tinted one as a primer as well. Glad you finally tried it and liked it.

Though I didn’t realize I was rouge status so at least I got a better discount than I was anticipating… I bought a Saie blush, the refy red lip/blush set (totally was influenced from TikTok to buy it), a tarte maracuja lip balm pen, two charlotte tilbury single eyeshadows, a liquid eyeshadow from the Sephora collection, a lip stain lipstick from the Sephora collection, a couple of eye patches from the Sephora collection, a couple of eyeshadow brushes from the Sephora collection, and a lip liner from the Sephora collection 😅 I really wanted the Danessa myricks eyeshadow palette but I don’t think I would use it enough to justify the price. Maybe if they decide to do Black Friday deals this year…
