I’ve never been a “no-makeup makeup” girlie; it’s just not who I am. Or I wasn’t, until I tried Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint. Now I fear there’s simply no going back.
Before that, though, I was a devout full-coverage foundation wearer, as some good old-fashioned insecurity led me to cover every possible imperfection I could find—and there were plenty (or so I thought). I struggled with hormonal acne as a teen and into my 20s, leading me to have my fair share of hyperpigmentation and acne scars to show for it. Also of note? I have rosacea and almost always look red, so you can probably understand why I didn’t feel comfortable showing my “real” skin for quite some time.
As for what finally changed? I guess I got older, more confident, and quite frankly, much busier—and therefore had less and less patience for makeup sponges, brushes, and complicated application techniques. I also realized I was using products that weren’t actively helping improve my skin over time, so it was a vicious cycle: I covered up my skin because I thought it looked “bad,” but what I used to cover it was likely making it much worse.
With that in mind, I started my search for the perfect skin tint—ideally something I could apply in one step with my hands, then walk out the door. I also wanted something formulated with skin-loving ingredients, so my face didn’t feel dry or dehydrated after hours of wear.
I had my doubts that the perfect formula existed, but the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint proved me wrong. Never settle for less than exactly what you want, y’all!
Formulated with vegan collagen peptides, ceramides, and antioxidant-boosting cactus extract, Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint gives me the best of both worlds. It hydrates and protects the skin barrier, but still functions as a complexion product with its lightweight and luminous finish. The formula blurs imperfections and gives my complexion a gorgeous, lit-from-within glow.
