When skincare meets makeup: Introducing the BYS Cosmetics Full Coverage line

Makeup is empowering. These days, this message rings true as the craze for cosmetics is all about creating the best version of yourself.

This is why skincare-infused makeup products are quite popular. Beauty junkies everywhere are all about makeup that doesn’t just help them change up their look but also something that helps them feel comfortable with their natural skin.

BYS Cosmetics is all about this too. That’s why they created the Full Coverage line. The skin-perfecting formula won’t just help you cover up your blemishes, it clears your skin and keeps it looking its best. Backed by customer-focused research, the Full Coverage line marries the quick solution base makeup gives with the long-term effects of various skincare ingredients.

Skincare + makeup = Power combo

The BYS Cosmetics Full Coverage line features four main ingredients to help your skin look better every time you use it.  You get the benefits of Vitamin E for hydration. Add to that the wonders of hyaluronic acid, often praised by dermatologists for keeping skin elasticity. Say good-bye to fine lines!

Aloe Vera is also in the mix for maximum levels of moisture. This helps minimize your acne outbreaks due to skin dryness and maintains the skin’s plumpness.

Coconut water, a favorite secret of the beauty world, rounds up this ensemble for its anti-aging benefits.

Formulated for your needs

In this line, you get three different formulations. All of which you can use together for a flawless and long-lasting base. You may also just use one or combine two of your liking, depending on your preference.

If you want coverage for your entire face that’s buildable without being cake-y, reach for the Full Coverage Foundation. With a pump bottle, you don’t have to worry about using too much and keeping the foundation sanitary while you’re traveling.

This works best with the BYS Primer.

Next in the line is the Full Coverage Concealer. This boasts of silky texture and a formula that suits all skin types. For “no-makeup-makeup days,” this just might what you need. Tip: You can use your normal shade for concealer, a lighter shade for a subtle highlight, and a darker shade for your contour.

If you’re in search of a powder that provides coverage and effectively sets your liquid makeup, BYS Cosmetics has the Full Coverage Pressed Powder. Like the liquid foundation, you can layer this for extra coverage. Take it with you for quick touch-ups and to control midday shine.

All three formulations are available in four shades: Ivory, Natural Beige, Medium Beige, and Sand Beige.

PSA: Female Olympians Wear Makeup for Self-Expression

Two commentators Mark Simone and Bo Dietl debated about the looks of female Olympians like Simone Biles and Simone Manuel instead of talking about their success and achievements. You totally missed the mark, Fox News.

Every second of that video made me cringe as I watched two men talk about women’s physical appearance and they even asked the male Olympians like Michael Phelps to do the same—look good when you accept that medal.

“The whole point of the Olympics, the whole reason for this training, for this work to get there, is product endorsements,” said Mark. It did not stop there, Bo added fuel to the flame by talking about zits on their faces and saying, “I like to see a person who wins that gold medal go up there and look beautiful.” As if their medals and record-breaking performance are not enough.

To clarify, female athletes who choose to wear makeup do it because they want to, because they are empowered and they feel much more confident—and there is nothing wrong with that. But if one chooses not to do it, do not give them flak.

The Fox News segment was based on the piece published on USA Today and I suggest you read that instead of listening to those two men.

5 Tips on How to Do the Latest Beauty Trends

Looking at the spring/summer runways, the upcoming makeup trends are polar opposites. One one end, you’ve got Marni, Moschino, and Proenza Schouler going for a natural look, focusing on thicker lashes, full brows and dewy skin. Heavy contouring isn’t the thing anymore. On the other hand, you’ve got wild child ambitions with colorful and almost messy looks from Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood, and Kenzo.

So the question is: How do I pull these off effectively? We asked MAC senior makeup artist Louise Zizzo, whose worked with Gwen Stefani, Cyndi Lauper, and Missy Elliot, just exactly what one can do to be able to strobe effectively and add a pop of color to the eyes without overhauling our makeup collection.

What will be the eyebrow trend this coming season?
It’s still all about having a full-on brow. One trend we have is how to look like you have little to no makeup at all and one way to [help pull that off] is to have thick and healthy brows. We need to make it look natural with very, thin feather-like and hair-like follicles strokes but not boxing them in and heavily outlining them.

How can one be able to do a pink or coral eyeshadow look without seeming as if they haven’t slept or their eyes look sore?
It’s about keeping [your choices] within the taupe and peaches. If the coral shade registers too orange on your skin rather than peach, that’s when it’s going to look like you have a sore eye. Keeping it on a more muted version rather than a vivid one will make those eyeshadows wearable.

You should also prep the eyes properly. If you don’t, any kind of shadow is going to oxidize so any shadow is going to look darker and more intense.

Strobing and highlighting using a powder can make pores larger. What can you advise to those women who want to get that highlighted look without using a cream?
If you can’t avoid using a powder, I would suggest just combining it first with a setting spray or solution. Adding that liquid would make it of a better consistency for dry skin and give you a naturally dewy look.

How can girls with oily skin use strobing to their advantage?
I would suggest using the strobe cream or highlighter underneath their foundation. A mattifying foundation would make it look like the glow is from within rather than an oily sheen or sweat over your face.

What are the five essential products needed to achieve this season’s looks?
A good red lipstick, a tube of waterproof mascara, a blue eyeliner, green eyeshadow, and satin-finish powders or products to help achieve strobing.

Talc, a common ingredient in baby powder and makeup, contains stray asbestos

Talc is a common ingredient in many everyday products, but as a number of recent lawsuits have brought to light, it may also contain trace amounts of asbestos, a material whose airborne fibers can scar lungs and cause cancer.

Talc is used in everything from makeup to baby powder. It’s even used as a food additive. But it is also sometimes interlaced with asbestos. Although asbestos is known to be dangerous—and known to be found in cosmetic talc— the US Food and Drug Administration has allowed the industry to monitor itself in its use of talc in cosmetics, despite concerns about its toxicity. Manufacturers say they test their talc for asbestos and only use talc that is proven to be asbestos-free. But some experts say that the outdated tests being used can’t detect the low levels of asbestos that may be present and can still be dangerous.

Government documents show that FDA officials first discussed the issue in 1976 but decided to allow the industry to test its own products. Proposals for the FDA to run the tests came up again in 1994 and 2001, but to no avail.

Asbestos was a common material used in buildings, toys, and various products until the mid-1970s, when its toxicity was recognized and its use became more limited. But it is still not entirely out of manufacturing in the US. Recent tests run by the non-profit Environmental Working Group found asbestos in four brands of crayons and toy crime-scene kits, it recently reported.

Asbestos exposure can cause a very aggressive form of cancer called mesothelioma. In the US, about 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed each year, says the American Cancer Society. If you believe you or someone you care about has been exposed to asbestos, contact Cooney & Conway, a law firm specializing in mesothelioma, to learn more about your legal rights.
