Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation — Review, Shades & Price

Nice but get the right color.

I was color matched by an associate and it was way off. First I asked her to disinfect the makeup surface and was told no that it would ruin the product. Not true. Returned product.

Now a must have

Surprised with how much a like this, I have combo skin that leans dry and significant hyperpigmentation. This covers so well, and it feels really light though you might question it by its consistency. I sometimes mix it with some foundation

T-zone is tea

I have been using this for about three months on my T-zone, and I absolutely love the finish it leaves for my foundation. Using the universal shade, I noticed a real difference on my skins finish in the photos I take. I pair this with the Anastasia BH setting spray and its chefs kiss. I think once this finishes I will try to match this with my skin and follow up with another review!

Perfect for oily skin

I have oily skin, this is exactly what I needed. I tried with a brush, but I find it’s best for me to scoop a tiny bit out and use my fingers to spread it over my t zone, then pat in with a powder puff. It blurs and takes down shine without being too flat or dry looking. Lasts all day. No shine after working out either.

Oily skin friendly, lasts all day!

Second time purchasing it and very happy with this product. I’m oily and this works wonders for me. Even better if used with the danessa myricks setting spray! I used it by itself or as a primer. Great coverage, everything you can ask for a foundation/primer

Great foundation

This foundation goes on so smoothly. I actually uses my fingers to apply.

A true cosmetic masterpiece

Ms. Danessa has cracked the code! This is the only primer you’ll ever need if you’re oily. I’m an extremely oily girl and this bad boy right here kept me matte for over 12 hours bro. I don’t think yall realize what a feat that is. I spring oil after hour 1 with most primers. My skin prep is immaculate btw because I’m sensitive and acne prone as well. This primer takes care of smile lines around the mouth, creasing around the nose AND keeps the blush/bronzer on my face through sheer oil...

Just ewww

This stuff is weird. It smells awful and is the heaviest feeling makeup I’ve ever worn. It also wipes off extremely easily even when used with setting spray.

GAME CHANGER for oily/combination skin!

Where has this been all my life!? GAME CHANGER! As a girl who has a stressful office job, midway through the day I’d struggle with very oily skin, in particular my T-zone. I always felt this was just something id always face until I saw some discussion on Reddit about this product. I thought I would try it and omg! I’ve used it both to mix with cc cream, and LOVED IT as well as putting a thin barrier directly on my t zone as a first layer after skincare and both methods I have beautiful skin...

Don’t think …. BUY

Amazing 5/5 will always buy Danessa doesn’t disappoint

The smell ruins it

It’s okay but the smell is so awful. It distracts me for hours! I’ve never had a face product that smells this awful. It’s very chemically and strong... like a gas leak or something.

Smells awful

Smells terrible. Like gasoline maybe it’s the one I got or it’s the formula but a little coconut for the smell wouldn’t be a bad idea. It blends nicely and covers my pores. I can’t get past the smell.

Not for true oily skin but maybe ok for combo skin

I have oily skin and this product separated on my face in the span of 3hrs… I do use great skin care and a silicone primer and it still makes my makeup look caked and bad :(

Alright

Ok so this may be user error but I didn’t love. I want to keep trying but maybe not for me. I love the yummy skin tint way more!!

I love DM and think she is a genius. I need to really learn how to use this better and I know if I find her teaching it I will love it. It has the potential to be incredible but definitely needs user knowledge.

revolutionary product will never need foundation

this balm has good coverage, showing zero pore and looks like bare skin. so glow and radiant. this literally obsolete my primer, foundation, powder, concealer. i may use this alone with blush or with setting powder on top. no cakey texture on dry skin. not gonna dry out or fall off midday

Serious Must Have

I use this as my base, layer powder over it, then use it to set my entire face: my makeup stays all day, even when I sweat! I have acne prone skin, and it’s fairly normal, but I haven’t had any issues wearing it.

Love it!

I absolutely love this product. It’s lightweight and it doesn’t feel like you have anything on your skin. I’m an 8 but I used a 9 to cover my hyperpigmentation. I like it more as a skin tint than a foundation. canlayer it. it’s“buildable b

AMAZING!!!!! A must for oily girls

This primer and foundation combo is amazing for oily skin. My skin is drier during winter but an oil slick during summer. I use the universal radiant with liquid foundation during the winter. However, summer in southeast Texas requires this and it delivers BIG TIME. It’s so humid here and this product perfectly replaces foundation and stays in place all day long. I pair it with the universal radiant for a beautiful air brushed glow. I’M OBSESSED!!!!!!!!! Danessa is always a hit. She don’t ever miss

Not for people with dry skin

This product is really nice, but if you are a dry skin girl I would pass. It emphasizes texture and dryness that I didn’t even know I had. I love Danessa Myricks as a brand, but I think there are better products in the line for th dry skin girls. I lo

Holy Grail Product

I recently found myself without a foundation after my go-to of 15 years was discontinued. I tried more than 15 foundations, and none worked with my oily skin, until I found this product. I can wear almost ANYTHING if I use this product (universal matte) as a primer, without getting an unnatural amount of shine. It holds up for hours, and when my natural oils start to mix with my makeup, I get a beautiful glow instead of looking like a glazed donut. I did try the tinted version as well, and...

A mixed bag

I really, really wanted to like this. It does a decent job of controlling oil and smoothing skin texture for makeup application, but that's where the good stuff ends. It smells vaguely of gasoline or epoxy, and while it doesn't linger, it is very off-putting when applying it. Also, it causes my makeup to settle into fine lines under my eyes and chin, and it's very noticeable.

Great for no makeup days

So far I am loving this for no makeup days and I just want to even out my skin. It did take me a couple of tries to figure out the best application for my skin. For me I found using a dense brush and tapping it into my skin worked the best. I have been also using it with Rare Beauty's primer and it works well with it. I also don't put my brush in the product, I tap it on with my finger and than use my brush. when I did put my brush in the product it was too much and I had a harder time...

Not for me

I really was excited to try this was hoping it would be my new routine it’s lightweight and feels like skin. However it clung to pores and made me dry not for me

I CANT DO MY MAKEUP WITH OUT THIS

OMGG this product changed my whole life if your hesitant on buying it like I was because its quite expensive take my word for it. As a super oily girl who gets oily within one hour after putting on my makeup I have tried so many techniques and products but this is by far the best thing I have ever spent my money on it’s is definitely worth the price and has a good amount of product. You definitely need to try this out no second thoughts!!!

Oily girl holy grail

The Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm Powder is literally the only product that has ever worked for me as someone who is naturally super oily and somehow sweats through my face only no matter what primer or powder I used before, I would still look shiny within an hour, especially on my forehead and upper lip, but this actually controls my oil without making me look dry or cakey. It keeps me matte but still skin like, and the blur is insane, it makes my pores look airbrushed and my makeup sit on...

I trusted the associate that help me with this product. I told her I hate how my pores look and showed her a picture with a face full of makeup and she recommend this product and I can’t thank her enough!

My new FAVORITE product for my OILY skin!!

This is the BEST for shiny oily skin. My skin is like an oil slick in no time with every other primer or foundation I’ve tried. I’ve used it as both a primer & a foundation with a setting powder & I can go all day without worrying about how my skin is looking

changed my routine!

life changing. my makeup routine is totally elevated because of this. there’s a learning curve so it doesn’t end up pilling on your face, but it’s worth it!

Definitely works well for a quick beat.

Honestly my go to produce for a quick makeup look. Sometimes even with the elf primer it may make my face a little shiny but I use the DM setting spray after and it will dry down. Color matched my skin but wish there was a lighter color than 9.5 but darker than 9 possibly more yellow than red.

Didn't work for me

This product unfortunately didn't work for me. I have oily skin with some texture and uneven coloring. I watched several videos and tutorials on how to properly apply it to achieve the best results.(Including the ones on Danessa Myricks page) I tried with moisturizer (multiple) and without, multiple different primers, brushes, fingers, sponge, warming it up on the back of my hand, all of it. So I'd say I truly gave this product a solid try. Unfortunately it settled into my pores and every...

Stays in place and doesn't budge

I recently had a very long flight after a bunch of meetings. I applied Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm as my foundation. I also used a cream blush and a rich cream before application. I agree that this balm is better for oily skin, however, I also have a condition that causes my normal/dry skin to excessively sweat, so foundations do not stay on around the central area of my face. I could not believe that after I got home 26 hours later this looked great! I did not have any red...

10/10 Recommend to everyone!

10/10! I do not think I will ever use another foundation again! This gives my skin such a clean & perfect look. I have large pores & mildly textured skin & this blends & blurs everything perfectly. I live the texture & consistency of the foundation. Sets well with or without powder! The color is also literally a perfect match for my skin, which I was initially concerned about.

A must Have

I love this product I have very oily skin around my nose and this is the only product that make my skin feel flawless and not heavy on my skin and also does not makes my foundation crack.

Second chance!

U bought in the past and didn’t like it. But I realize I was using it wrong and now I love it! Happy that I gave it another chance

Works well for my super oily skin. Blurring effect is superb.

Didn't like it with my dry/combo routine

I believe it works best in conjunction with lighter products and for those who do lighter looks, with lighter creams. Ironically, I also think this could be a good base for full coverage foundations as well. As someone who is in the comfortable middle - I don't think this has a place in my routine. It looked beautiful on its own with some light concealer, but I felt a little greasy after using liquid or cream based products on top the way I normally do. I don't enjoy a light base in this...

Disappointed

Very drying on the skin, clings to texture and does not last

Must have for oily skin.

Amazing blurring, oil, and sweat control. I’ve been needing a product like this in my life for a long time and I am so pleased I purchased it!

Number one matte primer

This product is one of a kind. It leaves my face completely matte even after a night out. It’s a bit of a trial and error to use at first, but as long as you let it sit for a while before foundation/concealer you get a beautiful matte base

Where have you been all my life?!

If you have oily skin and catch yourself needing to blot your face several times a day, this is the product for you! I’ve tried so many oil control by primers with no luck, and this one reigns supreme! My makeup lasts all day, and no blotting necessary.

Not for me, but probably still good

This is a decent primer. It’s nothing special, but it’s better than some. I didn’t love the texture on my skin, so I returned it, but maybe it will work for you. Lots of others seem to love it. The texture was similar to supergoop unseen sunscreen

Love love love

This picture was after 9 hours of wear at school, no extra powder, setting spray, or oil blotting sheets! (Colour is a bit distorted because of the sunset) Really love this product! Definitely matte, and holds of the oily appearance of skin for a long time. My skin is combo, overall super oily but very dry in a couple of places. This foundation works great for the oily and hydrated areas of my skin, but does look less blurring over the dry areas. I just use a very thick cream on the driest...

Huge disappointment

I am incredibly disappointed that this product did not work for me. I had seen great things about it, so against my better judgement, i purchased it. I did read many of the poor reviews, but just hoped it would work better for me. It made my skin look worse and the product filled my pores, regardless of my skin prep. Back it goes.

it was ok. I liked that it wasn't so cakey but the color to me was a tiny bit off. I wasn't crazy about it

A beautiful foundation formula, even for someone with combination skin. This mixed with the DM setting spray is an unstoppable combination.

Not for Acne-Prone Skin

Broke me out so bad after only a few uses and my skin is still struggling to heal months later.

A must have!!

The Best!!!! If you are oily and greasy, then you have to try this! It's not for super dry skin. Definitely for the girls who wants shine and not oily.

Must Have

DANESSA! I am fairly new to using any skin tints or foundation makeup. I have dry skin so I paired this blurring balm with the moisturizing balm and it was a perfect match. The color match was on point and my makeup looked flawless and natural all day.

Over hyped product

Balm Powder has a smell that I didn’t like, maybe a chemical smell. If you are going to use this you really have to moisturize and prime your face right before using. It was easier to buy a good foundation. without so much skin prep. foundation.

Low maintenance

Not so big into make up but this one is easy to put on in the mornings. Love it.

I wanted it to work

I have combination skin and ugh I wanted it to work so bad, but after a week I started getting dry/itchy patches on my face. It looked beautiful on initially.

Broke me out so bad! If you have oily/ acne prone skin, avoid this at all costs.

Third time buying

Only foundation I have ever completely used up. I use this on skincare-prepped skin with a Korean makeup sponge (not a beauty blender) and it lasts all day. Only criticism is this looks best when paired with a full face of makeup.

Maybe it's for oily skin?

I found this product to be extremely chalky, drying, lacking in any coverage, and it settled into lines I didn't even know I had. I have normal to dry mature skin and wouldn't recommend this for my fellow GenXers.

Smooth and perfect match I love it!! The packaging is absolutely perfect too

Separation anxiety

TERRIBLE, tried different methods when using and separated TERRIBLY by 3 hours. Makeup looked terrible and embarrassing. Do one size primer instead

best thing i’ve ever bought from sephora, goes on soooo smooth on my skin but i do wish it was a tiny bit more pigmented but other than that it ate

Great texture helps with redness

I think I bought too light of a shade but I really love this product under foundation. It helps neutralize my redness and makes my skin soft smooth and oil free. I love the texture.

I did not find it blurred my pores if everything it exaggerated them. I also find it greasy and oily, was reall excited to try but it doesn’t work for me.

Pill/Patch City

Applied so streaky even with switching THREE brushes, and trying a puff. The coverage was super uneven and emphasized my pores like crazy. Danessa I love you girl but I cannot make this work 😭. I WANTED TO LOVE THIS!! It also pilled like crazy and literally crumbled off with every brush stroke. I unfortunately had to keep pushing with the product b/c i had somewhere to be but it made my blush and bronzer literally pull off and come out sooo patchy.

Easiest complexion step

Love the flexibility with this product. I've used it on its own, as a spot oil control on my T zone, and under makeup as a primer. Evens the complexion and reduces shine without making the skin matte.

as someone with a very oily skin and dilated pores, this is incredible, the blur and the coverage are flawless!!

Wanted to love but...

I love Danessa Myricks products, so I was very excited to try this. The color is SO perfect for me. I struggle with finding a color match, so I was very excited when the color was so perfect. That only lasted a little while. If you have dry skin, prepare to see every dry patch you have. It settles in all your imperfections and amplifies them after you put it on. I was really excited and wanted to love this, but no matter how I put it on or what other products I use it, it shows everything...

Looks like My Skin!

I bought this after buying for my daughter and it looked so natural (it really looks like her skin). Works for me too!!

An oily skin girls dream product

I have extremely oily skin and typically have to blot my face several times per day (and loose a lot of my makeup this way). I’ve tried the DM blurring balm powder under my regular foundation for the past 2 days and I’m honestly amazed. While by the end of the day I have a bit of a glow, I haven’t had to blot my face once, my makeup hasn’t moved, and my skin isn’t dried out. This product has been a huge confidence booster and I’m so happy to not have to think twice about my makeup throughout...

Love!

I recently purchased this product, but I have to say I love it already! I have very oily, acne prone skin, but my skin does get dry around my chin area. I found it to be drying when you first apply it, but it really works throughout the day. Normally by 5pm I am super shiny and oily, but I have noticed a significant difference. It does control the oil and I love it. There is a sort of lemony-ish scent to this but I don't mind it. I would recommend if you have very oily skin!! Will most...

Must have

This is everything! I stopped using foundation and decided to try 500 different tints lol. This was recommended as providing blurred coverage but still looking like your skin. Such a beautiful finish looks like soft glowing skin. Best purchase in my makeup routine.

drying... :-( i have combo skin, and it really clung to my dry spots, and made me crease REALLY bad under my nose. i did like how it helped my foundation be more covering

In Love!!

My first impression… I'm loving the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm. After my skincare routine and sunscreen (Supergoop's Glowscreen), I applied the balm in shade #3, and I can say I'm blown away! As I write this review, it's 8:36 pm, and I've literally been wearing the balm for 12 hours with simple, untouched makeup. My skin has stayed fresh, with amazing oil control, and it doesn't feel heavy at all. I give it an A+ for this first use.

Beautiful foundation/primer

One of my favorites! This is my second buy within a year. Gives a glow in a very natural way. So well made.

I loved the coverage. The only issue is I got wrong shade. I will be returning and getting the correct shade which is 3.5.

I have very oily skin and have tried a million different powders, primers, sprays — this is the first one that worked. kinda pricey but worth it

Must have!!!!

I love hitting pan on a product at this price point. A little goes a long way but it’s so good that you can use it for anything. Light coverage, building coverage, adding coverage, evening skin tone, no makeup days, covering blemishes or burns from waxing, you naaaaaame it. I sweat like a pig in the summer and you wouldn’t even know because this stuff does not MOVE even with no setting powder or spray. Love love love

Very smoothing

Used this product with Sephora powder foundation over it. Also used the concealer and setting spray from DM. At first, I didn’t like it and actually went to Sephora to return it, but then I asked everybody how it looked without telling them what it was and they all said that it looked great and throughout the day, I felt the same way that it looked better. Very happy with this product actually and love the way it wears. Attached is an unfiltered picture to show the smoothing filter this...

Skin irritation

I really wanted to like this product, but it caused a really bad skin irritation. Maybe it’s not for sensitive skin? I have another foundation from this brand and it hasn’t caused burning and redness like this one did.

best foundation ever!!

This is the most perfectly matched foundation shade I have ever used. The color matches me with and without concealer underneath, and the lightweight formula works perfect on my oily skin for daily wear. I will be repurchasing this

Believe all the hype

Beautiful. Truly blurs the skin and my smile lines and gives all my makeup a flawless, long lasting finish. Would highly recommend

The only product you need if you’re oily

I am super oily and no matter what I use I have to blot my face 2-3 times minimum. I use this for work and I kid you not I have ZERO shine. I work 12-14 shifts and I left work with my skin looking so matte and fresh I couldn’t believe. it. There’s something in this product that is one in a million I’ve never tried a product this amazing.

An amazing product!

I absolutely LOVE this product!!! I am 49 and this is everything I want in a product. I have oily but dry skin and I can not believe how good my skin looks using this product. I wish I had tried it sooner

A Little Goes a Long Way!

I normally don't leave reviews, but after reading so many negative comments, I had to put in my two cents. Although everyone has varying skin types, if this product isn't working for you, it may be a user error. A little goes a long way, and if your skin is drying out, you may be using too much. I personally start with moisturizer, then ELF power grip primer, and then use a little bit of this product under my eyes and any other rough or oily patch on my skin. I had a sample of this product...

A must have in your make-up arsenal!

I purchased this foundation on a whim after seeing a pop-up on social media, and it has turned out to be one of my best “curiosity” purchases. It provides beautiful, natural-looking coverage that wears well on its own or paired with a setting powder.

I wish I could marry this product.

I get super oily and makeup basically melts off my face after a few hours of wear. I worked a 10 hour shift and makeup didn't move and still looked amazing. This is definitely a new staple in my makeup routine.

controls oils but causes breakouts

just to preface—I have SUPER oily skin and struggle with my makeup breaking up after a couple hours. This balm helps my makeup last longer, but I didn't notice any blurring effects. But because I'm super oily and have acne-prone skin, I get a new breakout every time I use it. I guess because it's waxy, it's too occlusive and traps my pores/oils(?) and causes acne for me. It's the only thing that makes my makeup last, but unfortunately it's not worth it when you have sensitive/oily/acne prone...

MISS DANESSAAAAAA

I love this not just as a primer but as a foundation. I think it works best with the DM Water Powder Mattifying Serum. Feels like skincare. Perfect if you don’t like feeling too heavy with your makeup, a little bit of product goes a long way!

Nice coverage and clean feeling. I use a tapered foundation brush to apply and it blends really well. Feels like nothing on my skin.

Perfection in a compact. Game-changer.

Traveling? Or just hate heavy makeup? This is better than tinted moisturizer. Looks like gorgeous skin. Dewy, satin finish. Not greasy and not drying. Light to medium coverage. A+

good, but cakey

while the product itself is pretty good, i would recommend maybe just getting the universal balm.. i’m not sure if it’s because it’s tinted, but it begins to settle and almost look cakey? otherwise, it’s a good product and keeps oils at bay

Does not work for my pores :(

I am someone with enlarged pores, and honestly I don’t like this. It goes on really cakey and does not do a good job of smoothing and hiding pores. I have yet to find something that works as well as my benefit porefessional primer!

THAT GIRL!!

This foundation convinced me I wasn't oily... until I tried something else and looked like I could fry an egg with the grease in my T-zone. Primer and foundation all in one step. Prefect shade match and builds like a dream. Perfect for spot concealing and full face glam. Used with: CONCEALER: Dior Backstage Concealer, Shade 5W BRONZER: Fenty Matchstick, Espresso UNDER EYE POWDER: Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Powder, Honey FACE POWDER: Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Powder,...

Fantastic for filling your pores and provides a smooth base for makeup application. Not drying for me, I have combination and extremely sensitive skin!! This product has caused zero irritation for me, and it's a must for me when doing makeup! I even bought a travel-size to bring with me during trips.

10/10

Perfect color match, blurring, smooth, and sweat proof. I love this and sometimes I wear it alone with no foundation on top.

I can't live without this!!

This product genuinely saved my life. My face is very oily in all areas. I've always struggled with the oil causing my makeup to separate, and becoming shiny within a few hours. Now my makeup lasts the ENTIRE day without separating, and the oil doesn't seep through anywhere, even the oiliest areas like my nose. I no longer have to carry around blotch papers or worry about how my makeup will last. If you're on the fence about whether or not this product works, let me be the one to tell you IT DOES!!

combo skin- Don’t use as primer!

It’s okay.. i’m combo skin and it made my dry places a bit too dry to wear my face looked like it was cracking. I wanted to love this as a primer so bad

Beautiful texture and wear test for the entire day

overall its a nice product. i find it a touch too drying for some parts of my face. (im very combo skin. center of the fave is oily and everywhere else is dry). it was very nice in my oily areas, helped keep me matte for longer. but on my normal/dry areas it was too drying. if you have normal/dry skin approach with caution

Cannot Recommend Enough

I tried this product on a whim after using the same complexion products for years and i’m so glad i did! this is a great product and can be used on its on for a natural base or with the serum for extra coverage! great product overall!

MUST BUY!

100000/10. Amazing. You need this. I’ve been using this consistently for over a year now and it has never failed me.

Not for textured skin

I have mature, textured combination oily skin. I purchased to use on light makeup days with the intention of not using a foundation or skin tint during my trip to Thailand. Unfortunately this pilled. I want to say it kept me matte and initially diffused my pores, but by the end of the day it had sunk into my pores and crevices and looked horrible!

Not for dry skin imo

Was not a good match, as I have very dry skin. Was actually going for the primer BUT I will say, this is probably a great choice if you have oily skin as it would “mattify” (nightmare for my skin tbh) as the day goes. Likely a good product but

I love it

It really helps the oil control. I love it on my eye lids. It's the best primer for them.

Best for oily skin!

The best for extremely oily skin, even better when paired with the water serum! Ive tried many foundations even estee lauder wouldnt help my oils and this one did!

Get it GIRL!!!

Every girl needs this in their makeup collection. When they said Yummy skin! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

BLURRRRING

In general, I love this product! I have dry, sensitive skin, but with my cicaplast balm this layers perfectly! It really does blur and smooth over scars and pores. I wore this for several job interviews recently, and was able to show up confidently, not worried about my skin making me too young or unprofessional :) Worth noting- I am FAIR and I think the top few shades skew a little dark and a little warm. I bought 1.5 (cool undertones) and this balm does look orange until I blend it out.

Not for acne-prone.

It definitely does make your makeup look beautiful. Unfortunately, it also clogged my pores and gave me a big pimple. I will be sticking with the Huda blur primer. ☹️ bummer.

Trash. Just awful under makeup. Leaves your makeup blotchy and smudged. Don’t buy this garbage.

A must have

I am not a true makeup girl but I love Danessa Myricks products. This Blurring powder matches me flawlessly. It goes on smoothly with my kabuki brush and takes a few minutes to give me awesome coverage. Definitely worth the purchase buy.

A must-have in my kit!

My perfect summer match! It’s lightweight and so natural looking definitely my go to 🤗

A must-have!

Absolutely love this product! It did exactly what it said it would. The perfect primer for my oily skin, absorbed all the oil and sheen for a full day under my foundation. All day wear!

I really wanted to like this product but it was way too drying. It enhanced dry patches and made me flake. I tried face masks and moisturizing prep but it was still drying. I saw raving reviews all over the web and the sales associates but it was a miss for me. I do like her other products like the blush and setting spray.

As I wanted to love this product, it dried out my skin so much. It does have the blurring effect and covers impurities, but leaves the skin looking so dry.

Major Makeup Upgrade!

This really does do the blurring that it says, and it’s also a clean product which I need. It is helpful to put a moisturizer or a base underneath it first and then let that set. Apply a first layer of the yummy skin blurring bomb powder tinted first and let that sit. And then do a second layer if you would like more coverage it looks beautiful and feels amazing.

Not Danessa’s best work

Unfortunately, this was a miss for me. I have fry, acne prone skin, and this enhanced dry patches I didn’t even know I had. I usually love anything Danessa comes out with, but this was drying, not blurring at all, and worst of all, it is not even my shade. It’s way too dark. It also has a very strange chemical smell to it.

Must Have!!!

Love this product. It keeps me matte without being dusty and smooths out the look of my pores.

A must have definitely my new favorite

I love this product.I've worn makeup for as long as I can remember I have dark circles, blemishes and extra oily skin this makeup is the best I've ever touched it covers everything and it's light and it's not noticeable at all that I have makeup on I'm never using anything elseand and

An acne girlies holy grail!

I'm 31, and have been recently struggling with severe acne seemingly out of nowhere. I absolutely love makeup, but have hated the way my makeup has looked on me the past few months. all of my foundations make all the texture and pores on my cheeks stand out terribly. I've tried 'blurring' and 'pore filling' primers, but they hardly help any. I recently purchased a Sephora favorites kit that had the universal shade of this balm in it. I used it as a primer- on my T-Zone and onto the centers...

What’s IN THIS? I’m a super oily girl all over not just my t-zone. My holy grail foundation used to be the bare minerals bare pro OG formula and then they re formulated and even then I got oily halfway through the day. The shade match is perfect and my face is BLURRED AND MATTW! . I wish I bought 3 more during the sale!

Oxidized so badly

I wanted to love this product - I tried so hard to get it to work. The blurring and oil absorption was amazing but the universal shade and the tinted version in shade 1 oxidized horribly. I tried everything - using my fingers, using brushes, using barely any, using a lot, wiping off “excess” after applying, putting products on top, putting no product on top or underneath but it oxidized every single time into these really dark orange streaks around my eyes, my mouth and the edges of my face....

Oily and acne prone friendly!

I have been using this foundation for a week now and it’s probably one of my favorite foundations to date. The color match is amazing! It’s so lightweight you don’t feel it on the skin at all. I have pretty intense acne scarring (dark spots and craters) and this covers it perfectly. I found that best way to apply is picking up product with a clean finger, gently spreading over a moisturized face, and blending with a foundation brush. I then go in with an under eye concealer and set! Wears...

No-makeup makeup perfection

Makeup usually never lasts a whole day on my super oily skin, but this product is AMAZING and gives me a foundation that lasts all day.

Greasy mess

This product really disappointed me. It made me extremely greasy and oily within a few hours only. Idk if it’s user error but I followed the same method a lot of people on TikTok suggested

Amazing foundation for oily skin and I’ve tried many brands in Sephora but this is definitely my favourite I use it in combination with the water powder serum it keeps my makeup almost perfect for over 12 hours! I wish we had the Danessa Myricks setting spray in Canada.

Must have

Love love love love, I use this with my foundation and it gives the perfect match. Also gives a smooth finish

Not for Mature Dry Skin

Literally was so excited to receive this product based on the reviews but it was actually a huge disappointment. It's such a dry product and makes mature skin look bad. It's also super patchy on application and very hard to work with. Probably better suited for oily skin girlies. Hard pass.

Worth it

New holy grail. I thought this would make by textured acne and pores more noticeable but it truly covers and blurs.

Great for oily skin

4.5/5 if I could! I have super oily skin- 2 hours into my shift at work, my nose looks WET. I was looking for a product that would reduce oiliness and also keep my makeup from moving and I was recommended this product while shopping. It definitely did its job. I notice a significant lack of oil on my cheeks and forehead, just a faint sheen. I also have dark spots from acne so the overall color of my skin is a bit uneven. I applied this before my foundation (yes, I know it’s a foundation...

Makeup staple

This is a product I can’t live without. I use this as my foundation & gives me this skin like finish. I have mild hyperpigmentation on my cheeks & it covers that!!

Pass it up

Couldn't do it. Immediately felt heavy and greasy, like my skin couldn't breathe. Also has an off putting or shall we say; cautionary chemical odor.

Amazing

I now use this daily. It is the first step before after sunscreen. It makes my makeup look better and look fresh until the end of the day!

The actual best

I had heard about the Danes Myricks blurring balm powder for a while and once I tried it, I loved it. It controls oil so well, layers under makeup so beautifully, and has such amazing innovative technology and a great shade range. It’s worth it. It’s one of the best products, and definitely the best primer.

BEST PRIMER EVER

Out of all of the years i’ve been buying from sephora, this is my very first time writing a review because it was that good. I have combination skin, normal-oily and normally when i use any type of primer i get oily after 5 hours. I used it for the first time and when i got home from work i was still matte like i just did my makeup and it’s been 12 hours. I also bought her setting spray but i don’t think i even need it. Also i was JUST wearing the primer and i didn’t even use her setting spray

This is my first time using makeup and this is a really good choice for me because it matches so well! I love that this is a Black Owned business!! I will buy this again!

Holy Grail Matte Foundation

This does everything and more. Colour match is perfect, glides on smoothly and provides buildable coverage. I can use it as a light touch up in some areas or full on as a foundation. With good skin prep this makes your skin literally perfect and lasts all day with minimal touchups on my combination skin.

This product was recommended by an employee for my oily skin and woowww I didn’t expect to love it so much. I have tried sooo many primers in past but so far this has been the best for my oily skin and the blurring effect is unreal.

Not for normal/normal to dry skin

I wanted so badly to love this, but if I’m honest - I hate it. I have normal skin. I prepped like usually do, then used this as a foundation primer. Initially, I thought I looked good. But as the day wore on, I noticed that my face felt tight. When I touched it, instead of feeling supple - it literally felt dry and rough to the touch. And the worst part: it accentuated fine lines I didn’t even know I had. Did I mention, this was with me also using the glow serum???? Maybe this...

Not for dryish skin

Got influenced into buying but it’s definitely not for dry skin faces, it leaves tons of flakes and accentuates dry lines. But it’s probably great for oily skin folks.

Eh not for everyone.

I have oily t-zone area and large pores. Keeps me matte but its super cakey… ive tried everything to see if I was using it wrong but nope… just a cakey primer..

Makes you shiny

The blurring effect does not last long, and this cream makes you shiny so you have to use a setting powder after. I don’t like to have too many layers on my face as that makes my break out, so I am not a fan.

Recommend but prep your face before using

I’m in my late 50’s and I have combination skin.I definitely had to prep my face before the application. I put on a serum and a moisturizer which made the product not so drying. Without this, it was dryer than I wanted.

Deceived by influencers

This product is definitely not for me. It makes my skin look mature and textured . Perfect shade match but not for everyone

MVP of the my skin but better look

So worth it- since using it I have received several unprompted compliments on my skin. I don’t have a ton of texture but I have some post acne scars, roughness and dark areas. This covers these like a dream without feeling as weighty as a heavy coverage foundation or concealer. I treat this as a primer step for a light coverage foundation like tinted sunscreen or wear on its own in targeted areas. The key here is application- a little goes a long way and you need to blend with a brush to...

Not for Dry SKIN!!!!

Stay away if you have dry skin! This is for people with oily skin. Its dries down to a powder-like finish. Strange marketing. I associate yummy and balm with hydration.

New favorite!!!

Obsessed! So bendable, blurs wonderfully, a good color match, and it can be used on eyes and face! Where have you been all my life? A little goes a long way and using a kabuki brush works very well.

Must have for oily skin

Literal game changer for those with oily skin. It’s magic in a bottle. I felt compelled to write this review as this worked so well with my oily skin. I’ve tried so many primers that claim to be oil controlling, yet shine will break through within the first few hours of applying. I’m the type of person who will get oily within 1-2 hours after applying foundation or literally anything on my skin. Idk what’s in here but it controls oil so well that I’m barely shiny after 8-9 hours - speaking...

GAMECHANGER

Ok .... I never ever write reviews, but this product is INSANE. I bought it on a whim and am blown away. My skin gets soooo oily throughout the day, but I hate wearing lots of makeup or caking on powder / foundation. This is a total game changer. I no longer have to worry about constantly blotting or touching up my makeup. It has great coverage and a matte finish - I use a foundation brush to buff it into the skin and it holds up all day. If you have super oily skin but want a fresh...

Love DM but this is a no

I tried my hardest to make this work, I really did! I have oily combo skin, and somehow this clung to invisible dry patches I didn’t know I had. I tried exfoliating first, skin prep, no skin prep, and every primer I had (including the universal shade balm) and it produced the same result. the texture never settled down to a powder for me, there was always a slippy balm feeling on my skin through the day. It showed every scratch, brush, and fingerprint on my face. My husband even commented...

THE BEST Foundation

THE best foundation. I will be repurchasing. I have oily skin so this is perfect, and its sooo easy to apply.

Hard pass

I really can’t get over the smell - it reminds me of pesticide. I have pretty clear, combo, even toned skin and this made my skin look weird. There are better cheap, drug store options than this.

So great for my oily skin, i can get through the day without looking like a glazed donut. It does have a bit of a chemical smell but its mild. It goes on smoothly if you let it sit on your hand to warm it and apply with your fingers. I like that it also has a weightless feeling. Though be prepared to oil cleanse, water cleanse and still have residue in your pores washed out well enough. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars, unfortunately is a pain to remove at the end of the day.

Must-Have for Oily Skin

This product is an absolute essential for anyone with oily skin! If you have combination skin, this probably isn’t the right product for you, as it can stick to dry areas. I have true oily skin and I typically can’t last more than two hours without getting shiny. This product is a game-changer, I went 6+ hours without needing a powder touch-up

With the right color match, this is great

I have the colorless version of this and liked it. I felt like there was too much of an orange-y undertone for this one. And in hotter/humid days, I do feel like it can get heavy. But it covers nicely and doesn't seem to accentuate the pores.

I love the consistency of the product

I live this product, however I only give it 4 out of 5. I think my color match is off. I’m in between 9 and 9.5 but I won’t return however I did purchase the radiance blurring balm powder to assist under my current makeup bc

Incredible product when skin is well moisturized

I completely hated this product at first. Hated. I realized I let the return window pass by, so I decided to give it another go but try something new. My first and failed attempt at using made my makeup look like it was sitting on my skin rather than blending / melting into it. I love it now: I apply hyaluronic acid & PDRN serum to my damp face, and before it completely dries I put on La Roche Posay Double- Barrier moisturizer SPF 30. THEN I spray my beauty blender with a moisturizing...

Transformed my base routine

After using this product for about a month or two I am extremely happy with it. I have super oily skin and have never found a product that actually keeps my skin looking matte all day like this does. I was skeptical at first since it does feel a bit greasy when it goes on initially however that was no issue and foundation went on beautifully ontop of it. If you’re oily I definitely recommend trying this!

Must have!

By far the best base product I’ve used. Great longevity even through Texas humidity and heat, buildable coverage, doesn’t transfer or crease! I have been reaching for this product on a daily basis and it is now a staple in my collection.

10/10 Amazing

Five stars. Amazing. I have oily skin and wanted something for everyday that was quick to apply and lasted all day. I use my hands to apply in the morning and it looks FLAWLESS the WHOLE DAY! I don’t get oily and the finish is stunning. A little goes a long way.

It’s Fine

After using this product for shy of a month, I’m regretting not spending my money somewhere else. I really wanted to be into this as it’s been on my wishlist for a while but I don’t see what is great about it. Compared to other foundations I’ve tried, this is subpar. As a skin tint too, there are better options. After a five hour wear, it doesn’t hold as well and overall I would recommend spending money on other options.

I must say!

I’m so glad I purchased! Smells a little like paint primer…but the blur factor has allowed me to stop using foundation! I feel flawless, without heavy makeup. I have some freckles across my face that vanish. I am super pleased with the coverage.

Great overall coverage.

Easy to apply, great color match if you have yellow understones and good coverage.

Must have for me

It’s amazing for my extra oily skin. This stuff works and makes my makeup look better over time and last all day even on the gym I love it

Doesn’t do anything it advertises

I have oily skin and this product doesn’t keep my face matte. Also I notice when I use this primer it shows a lot of texture on my face that I didn’t know I had. It also just makes the makeup just sit on my face it doesn’t look like skin if that makes sense.

Perfect fix for oily t-zone

Just a touch of this blended out over my t-zone over makeup blurs my pores and removes shine. It’s a tiny step that makes an enormous difference in looking really finished and put together.

What pores???

I love this product and use it every time I put on makeup. Even for my more natural lighter looks, it gives a flawless application. I wouldn’t recommend putting it on top of your makeup… Although I know people do that. It makes me look a bit shiny and I don’t like to overpower. That’s my only caution. 

Skip, unless you have no texture

For 6 months I have been trying to make this product work and I officially give up. It does not matter my skincare routine, or how I apply this product. I even spent the extra money for the kabuki brush. This looks so dry on my skin and shows texture that I did not know I even have. Eventually as my oils break through the product starts to look better but I do not want to look dusty for hours before that happens. I hate wasting product but this does not bring me joy.

makes my skin look old.

I've used this for a few months. It makes my skin look aged and dull. The product sits visibly on my face, making it look patchy, amplifying pores and fine lines.

Great for oily skin

I have extremely oily skin and this keeps my mattified for a few hours and I don’t even have to set it with powder. My holy grail!

Only if you are VERY oily

Product blurs and smooth like advertised, BUT it is drying too. I am little on the oily side and i feel like at the end of the day my makeup is patchy and dry in some place.

disappointed

I had such high hopes but it does not work for combination skin at all. the dry areas became so patchy and it doesn't blend well with other products.

This product is AMAZING!!! The color match is on point. A little goes a long way! I don’t have to use much for full coverage. My skin looks so supple and sun kissed. Up close you can barely tell I have anything on. My makeup stays in place when I sweat and after a long work day. Thank you for making a great product!

Great for daily wear!

Fantastic product! Comfortable and moisturizes my ultra dry skin. I was worried about it smudging or coming off but haven’t had that problem. The coverage is pretty natural so maybe not the best for covering up blemishes, but great for daily wear. Evens my skin tone but still shoes my freckles!

Oily skin- Love it

As an oily skin girl who has to use blotting sheets less than 2 hours after applying foundation, I am sooo happy to have found this! Love how it applies and it really gives a smooth, matte finish without usunf too much product. Would definitely recommend if you struggle with oiliness and shine. Helps a lot.

Game changer!

DMB has raised the bar. The “melt” of this blurring balm powder is unmatched. I don’t need heavy coverage but this product gives more of a medium coverage than light coverage. I feel like I have nothing on my skin. A++

I rarely leave reviews. This is awesome!

Perfect for a low-maintenance, natural-looking finish. It’s easy to use, great for travel and doesn’t pill / break me out. 5 stars, all the way! Also: if you’re olive toned, you’re covered!

Must Have for Oily Skin

I have oily/dry combo skin plus I’m highly allergic to many products. I used the translucent version of this product under my liquid foundation and loved the oil control, blurring effect and longevity of it. Will be purchasing more once I run out!

This product took the freshly clean skin and showed every pore. It did not blur anything I showed fine lines and pores as well as peach fuzz . Did not like this at all. I’m returning

I’m not sure how I feel yet..

I just purchased this in-store, but my store had very little shade range options. After getting home, I noticed that there’s a 1.5 for cool undertones but it’s not available from Sephora for some reason. If you struggle to find your shade, just get the translucent one (especially if you just want it for controlling oil). I find that a little goes a long way, and while it’s good at minimizing oil from what I can tell so far, it takes a bit to dry down and you are best blend it with your...

Aahhhhmazing

This product is quite amazing. It glides on so easily I actually was like Wow ok! I will continue to use this product as it left my makeup flawless all day long. Definitely worth the buy!

I’ve only used it once but already I’ve seen a drastic difference with the longevity of my foundation. Most days I wear my foundation for 12+ hours but by hour 4 my foundation is already slipping off my nose and separating. I’ve used so many primers, setting sprays, and powders to keep my oily t-zone at bay with nothing working. However, after using this product, I’m shocked! I’m already at hour 8 hours and only a small amount of oil has peaked through my nose but no separation. I can blot...

Not for dry skin

Avoid if you have dry skin. It sets into wrinkles a lot.

A new staple

As a combo oily girl, this is one of my faves when I need my makeup to last all day. I love the universal for when I already have a base going and the tinted version is I’m doing a minimalist look.

Obsessed

There is a learning curve to this product, but I LOVE it. There are multiple ways to use it and it performs (long lasting, matte, blurring, comfortable, flattering).

I'm so glad I tried this!

I have been on the search for a primer that actually works. It seems that no matter what I did and how I prepped my skin, I always ended up with raccoon eyes and foundation that started to separate as the day went on. I tried the yummy skin blurring balm powder based on Redit reviews, and my makeup did not budge. No raccoon eyes and the where it usually separates were solid. I just used a tiny thin layer, and that's all I needed. im so happy with this product!

Oily skin holy grail product!

I’ve struggled with an oily t-zone for years, and I haven’t been able to find a product to control it… until now! This balm powder keeps oil under control all day long. I no longer need to blot throughout the day with a blotting sheet or powder. I wish purchased this much sooner!

routine must-have

love this product, I typically get really bad creasing in my eye bag area. since using this I’ve definitely seen a decrease in them, after all my skincare I prep my under eye area with this as well as in my t-zone. It definitely does blur!

I wanted to like it

I wanted to like this so bad but it seems no matter how much I moisturize it just magnifies any bit of dry skin I have. Also I could not shade match and then shade I received pulls yellow on my skin.

It looked great the first two days and then my skin started developing dry spots. I stopped using it and my skin is going back to normal. Such a shame because it looked great at first.

Beautiful finish

Love the beautiful veil it creates on the face... I have oily skin, but by mid-day the makeup still looks perfect! Would definitely recommend!

in a sea of over saturation..

Danessa Myricks has single handedly made me love make up again! Innovative products that are not just marketing hype but ACTUALLY live up to the claims and performance tested. True range of undertones and quality through and through. Looking forward to what she creates next!

Strong formula

I absolutely loved the way this foundation looked on my skin but the formula is way too strong. It literally burned my skin and broke me out badly after wear it for some hours. If you have sensitive skin it might not be for you

Very drying

Slather on your moisturizer before using this. It made my face really dry. Also, exfoliate before using! The color match was perfect.

HOLY GRAIL

This is for oily skin! I have had oily skin for years and have had to deal with attending work/events and patting down my skin, powdering my makeup as it will forever get oily and my makeup with move. This product paired with the water serum was my cure! Literally forever thankful for getting this and now I can dance all night, go through a hot work day and come back to non oily skin. Personally does not dry me out even tho I have dry areas. 10/10 will purchase this forever.

Strong smell

I enjoy the look of this and the light coverage. But if you are sensitive to smells, you won’t like this. It has a strong chemical smell that does not go away.

I’m 50 n this make my skin look young

This is great stuff in 50 yrs old I don’t look it I look very young ty God My skin has changed since I got older the ladies at Sephora helped me n I got this line of make up n makes my face flawless

Added to Daily Routine

This keeps my oils manageable throughout the day, I definitely notice the difference if I don’t use it. Will continue purchasing.

The perfect product!!

If you are someone who is always on the go between work, gym, Pilates, errands, etc, but want more coverage than a tinted moisturizer - this is the perfect foundation for you. I’ve repurchased this foundation about 8 times over the past couple years, it’s my everyday go to. It is perfectly breathable, buildable and versatile/flexible shade-wise. Not to mention it has actually significantly improved the texture/pores on my face. I can’t recommend it enough!! Stock up while you can :)

The only thing that’s ever worked on my super oily skin BUT it eventually gave me an eczema flare so I had to return. Such a shame when brands exclude a whole demographic of people with sensitive skin! Please make this fragrance free by getting rid of the essential oilPlease make this fragrance free by getting rid of the ginger essential oil!!!!

Oily girl must have

Hesitated on this and I’m glad I finally purchased. I’m extremely oily and this is great coverage and a huge difference in controlling the oil and shine throughout the day

Good for combo skin

I have combination skin, usually getting oily in my t zone. This product helped a lot! Throughout the day my skin stayed matte and smooth. I am very happy with this product and I will continue to use it!!

Absolutely not

Looks horrible, peels, you cannot make it stay no matter what - tried over 15 times to make it work Don’t even bother, save your money

Highly recommend

This is great. I used it as my going out/formal event foundation for a wedding and I was completely matte the entire time night. Makeup also looked great even after sweating. It was easy to apply and very intuitive to use as a makeup novice

Greasy, and not at all how described. Super unfortunate that Sephora changed their return policy or I would’ve been able to exchange this for something else

I usually have an oily zone and after a couple hours with makeup it becomes more noticeable. With this product and the water serum I saw a HUGE difference and honestly it makes my makeup look sooooo much better. In the summertime it did kinda melt but it didn’t affect the way this product worked

I love the way this foundation looks and feels on my skin!! Don’t need any touch ups during the day!! May get a shade darker for summertime!

Holy Grail for Oily Skin

I have OILY skin. Like so oily that I have to repowder multiple times a day with every other foundation I've tried. This foundation is a holy grail for me (I don't ever even write reviews but I needed to spread the word to other oily girls) in that I don't have to reapply powder EVER with this one. It keeps my skin looking matte but not too matte - like it makes it look like I don't have oily skin at all. And I have pretty enlarged pores/scars from having cystic acne and it fills them in so...

One of my absolute favorites

This is one of my favorite products. As of late, I’ve been using it every day. It goes on very creamy and transparent. I can either use it as a face base for a no make up day or I might also use it with the skin tint serum. Beautiful results it gives a soft matte look.

If you’re oily, DO NOT hesitate

The best product on the market for taming oily skin. I’m a very very oily skin type and no primer or powders really do much for me. This is the first time I’ve gone over 3 hours matte in my life! So so grateful for super a wonderful product. It works even better with the serum. Cannot wait for the setting spray too.

Not for dry skin

Didn’t do well for my t zone…broke down makeup in a way— didn’t look right. I have dry skin but my nose is oily no can do

Yes, please!

I’m an oily girly and finding the perfect primer has always been a struggle. I was introduced to Danessa Myricks via my VIP Beautycon bag, and my primer game has been tight ever since! Low cost, high value! GET IT!

makeup girly

made my skin look very dry! I have combo skin. I did not like this product very surprised since this brand has such great items

The Holy Grail for Oily Skin!

I am 48 years old and have dealt with super (and I mean super) oily skin and very large pores in my T-Zone my whole life. This product in, both my foundation color and universal, is my unicorn. I have tried EVERYTHING at this point in my life, and this actually works. It took some time to figure out how to apply the foundation color (less is more), but once I did, I stay matte for 8 hours. I have rosacea as well, and it even reduces redness for me. I have been using these products for...

Accommodate more shades for darker skin tones

I can’t believe that I have been to almost every Vancouver, BC Canada Sephora. and could not find a shade 5 or 6 anywhere. Even more disappointing was that when out of these shades they are not restocked! The only way is that I would have to wait around fir a delivery gentleman to have it delivered to my home with no allotted time frame. Not inly that pay up front with no assurance the color would be suitable. Not an acceptable customer policy!

To go make up

I really love this brand. If you want a matte, natural finish with coverage, this is your product. I recommend using a water-based moisturizer before applying because the product dries fast.

Please Buy This From an Oily Skin Girly

It feels like skin and does not crease. The best foundation I've ever tried. But it is light coverage which I love. Truly a blurring balm. If you're an oily girl I 100% recommend.

This product causes break outs

I thought I was going to love this product because it has a great blurring foundation & great brightening for under eye. I purchased this and the blush about two weeks ago and I’ve been using them and now my face is breaking out.

A Must Have

This is my new Primer. It preps skin and blurs out the imperfections. I used to use Hourglass but now I can't live without this.

Changed my routine after 10 YEARS of doing makeup!

I am the oiliest person alive & this has changed my life. I am genuinely so shocked that this product controls my oils the way it does. Absolute game changer for me after doing my makeup for 10 yrs.

Highly recommend!

Initially I bought this to see if it would help with the separation I was getting from the Yummy Skin Tint serum (unfortunately it didn't help), but I loved using this under my other foundations and skin tint. I have combination skin and get oily in the summer - I wore this out to a picnic under 90 degree weather and the makeup still looked good afterwards!

Proper technique might make this work for me

I love the feel of this product, however I dont think it is for my skin type, or I think I have not learned how to use this product properly. I tried the hack of using this to set my makeup as well and it did not work out, especially with my concealer, it creased miserably and slid around my under eye.

I have oily skin and have not been able to find a product that worked well with my oily skin. I've been using this during the summer and it has done a wonderful job at oil control.

Everyone should have one!

Best purchase ever! This is light as feather 🪶. I feels like my own skin and looks so natural and flawless. I am totally obsessed 🤩

Didn’t do it for me ☹️

I really wanted to love this because I have oily skin and was looking for a product to combat the oil so my makeup would last more than a few hours without looking like an oil spill. I feel this balm made me super greasy and even made me breakout. 👎👎

Take all my money!

I can't rate this product highly enough. I have oily skin that typically shines through my foundation within a few hours-- even with primer. After using this product for a month, I'm not sure I've seen shine at any point. I've worn this for several hours in 90 degree heat and humidity and STILL came home still looking fresh. It's worth every penny.

As someone who has been oily for decades and has tried basically all cosmetic products addressed to oily skin, this is a complete game changer. I actually own these in several colors for various seasons, as well as in the universal (non-radiant). I far prefer the tinted versions to the universal, as they seem to set down to be more powdery than the universal. The shades tend to look darker in the pan than on the skin, so try them first if you can. These do not make me dry-matte looking, but...

Not an exact match, but looking forward to more.

It is decent. I think she needs more shades. This isn’t an exact match.

A must-have in my routine with oily skin

This is AMAZING! It is everything they say it is. My makeup is perfectly matte and my skin is no longer oily after a long day. Only potential complains is it’s weird smell but it’s nothing crazy! love love love!!!

makes my skin super smooth, with a matte glow. my foundation lays nicely on top and it evens out my skin tone.

One-and-done, holy grail product

I have always had super oily, sensitive skin, and because of that, I don't really like wearing foundation. This has been my holy grail, especially in the heat and humidity of the summer. It's been the ideal face product for my skin type.

Won’t go without purchasing repeatedly!

I’ll never go without purchasing this product! It truly feels so nice on the skin, lasts, and it makes my under eye creases nonexistent even with concealer on top. I’ve always dealt with creasing and finally found a product that truly works! Love it!

It’s a no for me unfortunately

I really wish i could’ve loved this product. It’s one of my best foundation shade matches, applies beautifully, and looks like a second skin. BUT for some reason no matter what i do differently, by the end of the day it has completely flaked off my ski. Especially around my mouth, god forbid i laugh too much during the day.

Magic!!

I didn’t understand this product for a while and then tried it as a primer and it changed my life. I’ve had the most oily skin my entire life, no powder or matte foundation wouldn’t stop me from needing to blot my forehead cheeks and nose until this. It lasts my full workday, sometimes 12hrs on my feet running around, and it still looks perfect, no kleenex dabs or touch up powder needed. This stuff is MAGIC

Sat on top of my skin and turned flaky as the day goes on. Tired applying multiple different was and with different moisturizers. Big fail for me.

stunning

okay so not only am i oily but i sweat A LOT on my face (upper lip and forehead), tell me what kind of magic is in this foundation that made my makeup last through a full day in the hot humid sun!?? i used the product on its own with a little bit of concealer, and i set it with powder all over i think it has great buildable coverage, it comes with SO MUCH product its gonna last me forever, and the finish is absolutely gorgeous. 10/10!!

It’s a no for me

Got this due to all the reviews. But I regret the purchase made me look ashy, and I was even colour matched.

Amazing for summer nights and no makeup makeup!

This is my first review ever, despite being an avid makeup user! I have tried everything but I was genuinely blown away by this product. I put this on (over primer) and the coverage was incredible. It made my skin look flawless! But I would defn point out that your skin needs to be hydrated to get the best results. Otherwise it will look like it’s just sitting on top of your skin. I never sleep with makeup on, but I accidentally did with this and I woke up the next day with it barely moving....

Looks so natural yet matte

Great product! So much product in the container plus feels high quality. I’m very oily so on days i don’t wear makeup I’ll use this instead of powder to keep the oily shine away. I love that this makes my skin matte but not dry mask matte.

Finally got good results

I bought this due the the rave reviews. Tried it under my foundation with horible results. Every pore look magnified. So I tried it over my foundation - no go - it acted as a makeup remover. Then I mixed it in with my sunscreen before applying it to my face. Finally! Perfection. Now I love it.

Highly recommended this product. I like to wear this as my base for a full face, and it looks really good. It doesn’t feel like I have any makeup on when I wear it. It does feel a little greasy when it’s first applied, but it dries down to a matte finish. It’s long lasting. I’ve worn it during 8 hour day at work, outside in mild temperatures, outside in the heat and humidity. I can wear this for over 8+ hours, and my skin will still look good. It’s also great to take when traveling because...

GET IT TRUST ME !! OILY GIRLSSS!!

I always get oily, like a literal greaseball by the end of the day, or even a few hours after applying makeup. Used this and tested it out for a FULL day and NOT ONE SPECK OF OIL ON MY FACE MY MAKEUP LOOKED FLAWLESS!!

so so so good product Danessa never misses. I wear it as a foundation because it's so hot out and my usual haus labs has been getting a little too greasy for me. If you aren't oily make sure you skin prep because it leaves you MATTE. My skin is a bit textured and it doesn't emphasize my clogged pores all that much. It's for sure a foundation that looks better the longer you wear it.

Thank you Danessa Myricks

As an oily girl this answered my prayers. This keeps my oil at bay and gives me beautiful light/medium coverage. I can’t apply too much or it gets cakey but it is super user friendly. Thank you Danessa we all say in union.

Best Blurring Product I've Ever Used

Excellent product that is actually effective at blurring my pores and my old acne scars. I use this underneath the Dannessa Myricks Yummy Skin Tint Serum and it works so beautifully to blur my scars and blemishes in a very natural and not overly cakey looking way. I am not in any way affiliated with this company, nor did I receive any compensation for this review. I just genuinely love Danessa Myricks products and how they look and feel on my skin.

Love this so much, it barely oxidizes, does not budge at all and I’m very oily (I even stopped using my one size primer and this foundation does not move nor do I look super greasy) this is my go to foundation!!!

😔

I wanted desperately to love this product since it was my first DM product...but if you're a dry skin girly like me, I would try something else. For the oily girls, this product would be ideal.

Sadly did not work for me

I’m so sad this product didn’t work for me. It goes on fine but after maybe 15 minutes, it starts to make the top of my cheeks look SUPER flaky. My skin looked very healthy before applying and then it starts to basically crackle on my skin. I heard glowing reviews about this product from my friends so I thought the problem was other factors. I bought a more moisturizing primer and a more moisturizing setting spray. I even bought the Saie foundation brush and nothing works. I tried applying...

Not acne safe.

While this looks nice on, it is severely comedogenic. I don’t know how this has been labeled as “acne safe.” Also, there are not a lot of neutral based shades in the fair-medium range for more olive tones, everythingruns warm. Would love to see if the brand can come up with something that’s not so clogging for the pores.

It goes on so smoothly. And the color match is flawless. Love the models who help me pick the right color.

My new go-to

Love love love this product. It goes on smoothly, keeps my oily skin in check, and lasts all day. I’ve used it on its own as foundation (with setting spray under it) and as primer for a full coverage foundation.

Excellent product!

I was looking for a product to even out my skin tone and act as a "spackle" of some sorts. This product was recommended to me by a salesperson and it is amazing. It goes on smooth, makes lines softer and smoother, pores look smaller and evens out the skin. I pat and let is settle for a minute prior to applying make up and it is magic. Love this product and will purchase again. Also, a little goes a long way

Excellent as a primer for the lily girlies

I use this as a base a base under my NARS liquid foundation and together it is chef’s kiss! I have oily skin. With this balm powder, my makeup stays flawless and matte for nearly the entire day! and

Amazing for oil control, not so great for blurring

I use this product as a primer and it has been the best I’ve ever used for oil control. My skin is very oily, especially in the summer, and I usually have to touch up using powder every hour or so (even with matte foundations and matte setting sprays). This product is literally the only thing that works for me - I’ve only had to touch up my makeup once in a day. However, I will agree with some reviews that it emphasizes my texture and doesn’t really blur, but I can ignore that as it really...

My new go-to for light matte coverage!

I have always liked and used Bare Minerals (tinted moisturizer in tan amber and loose powder in tan). I've had a hard time finding it in stock lately so I tried this, and I'm so glad I did! I use the Sephora multi use makeup brush to apply this over my daily moisturizer. The color is a perfect match! It has a wonderful matte finish, feels very smooth, blends well, and lasts all day. Highly recommended for those with oily skin.

Summer Favorite

Literally helped me look less oily after packing on make up this summer and sweating

10/10 Would Recommend

I have combination oily skin. I also have white heads. This foundation is beautiful and long lasting. It controls my oily spots and leaves a beautiful natural finish. My mom loves this foundation too. I recommend it to everyone!

Sits on skin and shade is off

I really wanted to like this product. I’ve tried applying it with my fingers, with a brush, with a sponge, alone, with foundation, with powder… and no matter what I did it just sat on my skin leaving me with very caky makeup. Also the shade was too light/yellow even though I really tried to shade match. The thing is it really does control oil and sweat very well. I work outside in the heat and humidity a lot and it kept my skin matte… but it only looked good from afar! That’s a shame :( Had...

Not worth it for oily skin

The first few hours of wear are nice. It does go only smooth but at this price point it should have better lasting power. It is not worth it, Do not buy. The packaging is garbage, the applicator does not stay. I expect more at this price point.

BEST PRIMER FOR OILY SKIN!

I rarely ever write reviews, but this product truly deserves one! I usually get super oily within a few hours, but after using this, my skin stays shine-free. I don’t even need to touch up with powder throughout the day!!

Hype not true

This product was definitely intriguing at first—the claims sounded impressive and had me hopeful. But unfortunately, it didn’t deliver. It emphasized my pores, felt drying on the skin, and didn’t perform as promised. Honestly, it’s all hype. I’ve had better luck with drugstore products that cost a fraction of the price.

Don’t waste your time or energy

W I’m convinced influencers don’t actually use these products—they’re just promoting whatever they’re paid to. Store associates do the same, pushing whatever brand they’re contracted with. Honestly, you might as well just go to a Macy’s counter. The product separates on the face, emphasizes pores, and is super drying. Drugstore options are not only better—they’re more honest and affordable

interesting

It's very light-weight, matte, and has super light coverage. I really don't see how this could be a foundation unless you have near perfect skin. You really do have to warm it up and tap with a finger because I tried it with a brush and it was patchy. My everyday foundation is the about face performer in shade L2 neutral which is a medium coverage. With the blurring balm as a primer the about-face becomes full coverage. On camera this primer is very blurring, but in person it does emphasize...

Absolutely a game changer

If you want perfect skin that’s natural this product is a must! I love it

I wanted to like

By itself with not a single other product - this worked great for my dry skin. I have light skin, which oddly enough pulls cool and olive. This product blurs my pores on its own and corrects minor color, but with other makeup- it accentuates pores, lines, and doesn't hold makeup well.

Must have

I love the way my skin looks, it evens it and adds a beautiful glow

one of those products that makes me think i live in a different universe from everyone else lol. To me this is a dewy luminizing primer, maybe could use on high points of the face to finish. No smoothing, no oil control, no improved wear. If you swatch this on one bare hand and compare to the other, you’ll see this makes your skin notably more shiny. If they had marketed this differently I would be fine but imo it doesn’t do anything of what it says except luminize. . my maybelline matte n...

Buy this product if you want creators for pores!!

To say that this product is a major disappointment would be a serious understatement. I got the universal one to ensure that I didn’t get the wrong shade. My first issue is that it smells like paint thinner. The little spoon that it comes with does nothing to help you apply the make up the chest digs big holes in the product. My main concern is the way it wears. It sold into every poor and fine line that I had and made me look 10 years older. My pores are slightly enlarged, but this...

Worth the hype

I'm super oily no matter what I use and this is the ONLY thing that kept me from being oily all day. So glad I fell for the hype it's so worth it! Works in Texas heat

Not for me

I hate the way it settles into my skin, I have normal/combo skin and it settles into and accentuates my pores and dryer areas. It makes my face look flat and lifeless even after adding dimension back in.

Not great for dry skin

Unfortunately this completely settled into my smile lines and around my nose. It also highlighted my dry patches. Will be returning.

I didn't know the value of a good primer. Now, I do! This is a great product.

Not For Combo Skin

My skin is combo oily. This did not blur anything and in fact felt greasy and heavy on skin. Giving to coworker with dry skin.

Stinks both in smell and application.

Can’t get past the rancid smell; didn’t work well with my skin (oily). There a better primers

10/10!!!!!!

After many sephora purchases over the years, this is my first review. I have oily skin and after using this product for 8 hours, no oil in sight! The weather is humid where I live as well and it still help up. 10/10

Such a strange foundation. Sits on top of skin and easily slides around/transfers. Not sure how this had a 4 star rating.

Amazing product!

Absolutely amazing! My makeup just doesn’t look the same without this primer. My foundation lasts all day, I look airbrushed, and I get less oily. I’m obsessed, I highly recommend!!

So great! Gives me a smooth base for when I use my tinted sunscreen every day. Doesn’t cause any pilling or flaking at all! It doesn’t fill in all my pores completely, but definitely smoothes them out and makes everything look more blurrred

No Deep with Ref Undertone

I really like this foundation, but none of the colors work for me. There is no option for deep skin with red undertones, so despite enjoying the formula, the colors just don’t work for me. Very disappointing. hope they hope they come out with new colors!

Great for on top of makeup for oil control.

I originally bought this to use as a foundation. Wrong! Its not buildable like a lot of people claim. Its just light and thats it! This is similar to a skin tint. It looks great when applied but doesnt last long specially if you are super oily. I used the oil control serum, the universal and tinted and will only last about 2-4 hours. In the other hand I like to use it as a primer for my foundation or to dab on top on makeup for oil control and it looks so natural. Dont use this as a...

Freaking AMAZING

Love this product. It literally looks like your skin but much better, my skin looks flawless and it's easy to apply. I purchased shade 7 after going into the store to be shade matched because I hate blind buying complexion products. The shade match stunned me and the store associate because the shade match was so spot on it literally looked like it disappeared when she applied a swatch on my face. Will definitely repurchase

MUST HAVE FOR OLDER BEAUTIES

This is my new GO TO. I am 37yo and it’s SO flattering. It doesn’t set into my fine lines and is so easy to apply. I am looking for versatility, ease of use, and quality. This hits all the marks and more! Adore this product! Will be repurchasing.

The only primer I will ever use

This has been the greatest product I have used to control oil. Im very oily and it manages to keep it controlled under Florida summer conditions. It controls the oil on my forehead entirely, and about 80% on my nose, which is INSANE. Wore it for 16+ hours to wear test it when I got it, and if I blotted my nose maybe once (I did not just to see how it did on its own), it would keep me matte all day. It's a bit expensive for me, but comes with a good amount of product that with how good it is...

worth the money

gives the PERFECT no makeup look, i'm just trying to figure out why it doesn't sit well on my chin and around the corners of my mouth.

You only need a small amount for effectiveness

As an oily skin girl, I’ve gone my whole life knowing that no matter what primer, powder, or setting spray I used, I would be consistently patting the oil from my face every 2 hours minimum. This is the first product I’ve ever used that kept me oil-free for 8 hours or more, depending on the conditions that day. This is now a staple in my makeup routine and I hope I never have to be without it.

Great product!!!! skin feels great while providing long lasting matte finish, loved it; used it with danessa powder serum!

Great for oily noses!

Works great on my oily nose! No oil creep through during the day. It picked up every piece of dry skin on the rest of my T-zone, which is also very oily. Not sure how that happened…decently product.

A little bit goes a long way!

I love this by itself and with the serum primer . Makeup looks good all day .

Holy grail product for mature skin

The best product I’ve found that is good for mature skin (I’m 45). It doesn’t settle in pores, isn’t heavy and makes my uneven skin tone look fantastic! It also gives me a healthy glow.

DO NOT PURCHASE

I wanted to like this product but it's the worse primer I've ever used, by far. It does nothing for my skin except make it feel greasy, and I wish I had read the negative reviews before wasting so much money. Not worth it. Don't buy this it's like flushing your money down the toilet!

Perfecr for aging skin and hot summer days.

I bought this product because I was going out of town for the weekend and I needed something easy, natural looking and fresh. This cream to powder foundation is a God send. it went on smoothly. blended into my natural complexion and it stayed all day. perfect for hot summer months. I got #8.

new go to foundation

Product works very well!! This stays on in this Texas heat, does not oxidize!! Performs way better than the universal one in my opinion, I returned the next day. I have very oily skin and this stays matte, has replaced my usual foundation and covers my hyperpigmentaion well. highly recommend!
