As someone who loves to wear a full face of makeup everyday but still prefers lightweight formulas, skin tints are my preferred everyday complexion products. Foundations often have too much coverage for my mature skin and can look too noticeable on the skin. Skin tints are lightweight liquid tints usually packed with skincare ingredients to help treat the skin while also offering light to medium coverage. They are a versatile addition to any beauty routine though not all skin tints are the same. Danessa Myricks is a professional makeup artist who created her own line of innovative products and formula that truly work and perform well for any and all skin types. She has a wide range of complexion products available but since I do prefer a lighter formula, I wanted to try her Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint. Today’s post will go in depth on the formulation of the Skin Tint as well as who I think it would be best suited for.

What Is Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Tint?
The Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint is a lightweight yet buildable tint formulated with skincare ingredients to help nourish and hydrate the skin. It gives light to medium coverage, a naturally radiant skin-like finish and lasts all day long. It literally melts into the skin and has a slight blurring effect as well. It’s suitable for all skin types though I definitely think if you have oily/combination skin, it’s best to set your t-zone with a powder or mattifying spray. Additionally, the shade range is incredibly inclusive so there is definitely a shade for everyone.

Is The Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint Worth It?
This is one of the best skin tints I have tried and I think it is definitely worth trying. It’s formulated with tons of great skincare ingredients and the performance as a complexion product is phenomenal. For those with oily or combination skin, it would be best to layer this over a mattifying primer (her Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder is a great option since it helps to absorb sweat and oil all day long) or use a setting powder in your t-zone. For those with dry or mature skin types like myself, the plumping and hydrating benefits of this skin tint are just what our skin needs.
How To Use The Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint
Prep the Skin
Though this is a hydrating skin tint, it works best when you skin is moisturized and prepped. I will often add a layer of the Rhode Glazing Milk right before I apply my complexion products because it gives my skin a quick boost of moisture that allows my foundations to glide on effortlessly.
Start Small
Even though this is a light to medium coverage skin tint, I still recommend using a light hand to apply. You can always build it up if needed. I use a pea sized amount to cover my entire face.
Use a Damp Sponge for Less Coverage
If you want less coverage, use a damp makeup sponge or fingers to apply the product all over.
Use a Makeup Brush for More Coverage
If you want to build up coverage or prefer a more fuller coverage application, choose a stiff kabuki style brush to buff in the product. This is my favorite foundation brush at the moment to use – it blends in product effortlessly (my discount code is MAREE10).
Set With Powder If Needed
Though this skin tint is very long wearing, you can still set it with a setting powder and help extend the wear even more. Especially if you are oily or combination, use a setting powder through your t-zone to help mattify and set.

Much like the skin tint, this concealer gives amazing medium coverage without looking cakey or emphasizing fine lines. The shade range for her concealer is diverse and includes something for every skin tone. There are 20 shades in all to choose from. The concealer is formulated with various skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid to hydrate, caffeine to reduce puffiness and centella asiatica to moisturize and strengthen the skin barrier.

This is like a filter for your face. It blurs, gives a soft velvet finish and makes your makeup last ALL DAY LONG! And as someone who has never found use in a setting spray, this has become a non-negotiable for my everyday makeup. It is GORGEOUS!! As with the skin tint and concealer, the Blurring Balm Spray contains skincare ingredients like niacinamide to reduce texture, upsalite to absorb sweat/oil and hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate.
