BYS Minerals Naturale Compact Foundation in Natural Beige

4:30:00 PM

Here's something new that I have been testing out for a couple of weeks now. The shade Natural Beige is two shades lighter than my skin tone, but I love using this to highlight certain areas.


Product Info from BYS Cosmetics
BYS Minerals Naturalè Compact Powder Foundation is formulated with 100% Natural Minerals. It is a non-irritating formula suitable for all skin types & won’t clog your pores. 
It offers you full coverage with a natural, lightweight finish.

Available in 6 shades

Retail Price: Php 679.00

Like all BYS Cosmetics products, this has a black plastic packaging too. This compact does not come with a mirror or sponge, which makes it very lightweight.

Here are the ingredients. If you notice, this contains mostly of mineral makeup, which is a good thing since it is safe for your skin.

The texture feels very soft, smooth and silky. This does not have a completely matte finish but has slight sheen to it, which gives a natural glow to my face. It feels rather light and gives a light to medium coverage. It stayed for a good 5 hours on my face before it started to fade. I have normal skin and I work in an air conditioned environment, so I am not sure how long this will last on other skin types.

What I like about it...
* affordable price
* has a sheer coverage, which I find perfect as a finishing powder
* gives a natural glow on my face, that's why I love using this as a highlight powder
* has a silky smooth and lightweight texture
* has a decent staying power, lasts for about 6 hours on me
* has good oil control
* not chalky at all
* I did not experience any irritation or allergies

What I don't like...
* has a cosmetic scent which I find annoying, however the smell disappears after application
* has cheap packaging, so you'll have to be careful not to let this fall
* does not come with a mirror

My rating: 4 / 5

Overall, I do like this powder compact. I just wish it didn't have have that strong scent. But quality wise, this is surprisingly a really good sheer powder with great oil control. If you are not bothered by cosmetic scents, then I suggest you try this. However, I would not recommend this to those with troubled skin.

Until next time.

Cheerios!

  3. This product looks promising! Kind of pricey though. I've heard BYS products are made from China and not Australia :(
