The TINTED LIQUID BLUSH is very very pigmented. Compared to the glossier blush, a miniscule amount of this product goes a long way. The texture is thicker than I would expect, so it seems that using a brush or sponge is better than your fingers. It also doesnt spread as easily as the glossier blush - but feels very nourishing on the skin.  The pink "lets go party"  is a vibrant cool pink.  The color is almost doll like

I needed a total revamp of my makeup selection and chose youthforia due to their messaging that it’s “good” for you and won’t make you breakout. I really enjoy the foundation and its minimal or buildable coverage. Definitely hasn’t made my sensitive rosacea prone skin break out which is always a plus! That said, I don’t wear it every day. I also purchased the primer, setting spray and face wash. I don’t use them all regularly but it’s nice to have when I’m getting ready for a night out. I did receive compliments from my roommate after the first time I put it on and she didn’t know I was trying new makeup! 

It is not 2016 anymore. 

The blushes are so boring. We all know ph changing make up is a scam. The blushes are hard to blend and not the right consistency. I prefer the benetint if you are looking for a more liquid blush or the rare beauty or said liquid blushes if you want a more cream consistency.

The shade range of foundation is disgusting. You cannot release 15 shades and have only 3 be for darker complexions. And then they want to claim that they were going to add in darker tones at a later date?? In my eyes, that means that Youthforia sees their Black and Brown customers as an afterthought or as less important than their white customers. You cannot release a foundation line just for white people and then defend that decision on social media. You either release 15 shades that are evenly distributed across all skin tones, and say that more undertones and/or shades will be released in the future. Or you wait for more funding, customer interest, etc. to release a foundation with an actual shade range. 

I have bought and re-bought the Youthforia Pregame Primer, Night Off Face Wash, and Pregame Setting Spray. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and I travel a lot. So when I learned that the philosophy of this brand was to make makeup you can sleep in, I looked them up.

Even though the primer smells awful (because it's unscented), I don't mind because it leaves my skin glowing and super hydrated. The output is worth overcoming the smell lol.

I also tested the BYO Blush, but I saw a tutorial on Youthforia's TikTok on how you can use it on your lips so I use it for that more than my cheeks.

Last thing: have gone on so many flights between the US and Europe wearing Youthforia and no breakouts. It's amazing.

Been using the foundation for a while and for a non pore clogging foundation it gives good coverage and still feels light weight. 

Tried BYO Blush when it first came out, it was an okay experience, it doesn't blend really well. I don't wear it ever, as there are better liquid blushes on the market. 

The innovation in this product and how well it compliments my skin tone is amazing! 

Avoid if you're oily!! I want to love this brand but unfortunately I've been pretty unimpressed, especially for the price.

Of the 3 products I've tried 2 are a big miss (the primer and blush oil) and 1 is good (the lip gloss). 

Off the bat, the primer smells like tahini which is a bit off-putting. It feels very heavy on the skin despite it's claim of being lightweight and absorbing quickly. If I put foundation or concealer over it, my skin feels very gunky. I have a similar problem with the BYO blush oil. It's just very heavy and moves around on my skin very easily compared to a blush (even a cream blush). The "color changing" piece of it also feels very gimmicky and makes it hard to apply and know how much to put on. For background, I have oily skin so if you also have oily or combo skin too, these might not work for you either.

The lip gloss I have is really pretty. It's moisturizing and not sticky at all, my hair never gets stuck in it. I also like that the applicator doesn't pull out a big glob of gloss, I have small lips so it's easier to apply. But again for the price, there are lip glosses I prefer more.

Positives: The packaging and website are super cute. I have a lot of respect for the founder and think it's really cool that she went on Shark Tank but unfortunately none of these products feel very innovative and none of them work for oily skin (except the lip gloss).
