Editor's note: Here at Cosmo, we're all about being up to date with the latest drops from *all* the beauty brands, finding hidden gems already out there, and finding our next Holy Grail. And don't worry—we're not gatekeeping!
Every day, we post one beauty product from our stash at the office (because trust us, we get a *lot* of them) and give you a no-nonsense lowdown on each item. You get all the info in just one click. It's a TL;DR, if you will. They're all in one daily series: The Beauty FYP, a page that's all about beauty—just for you (see what we did there?). Let the Cosmo editors be your personal algorithm. ;)
Skin tints have been having a moment in the local beauty community, with just about every beauty brand releasing its own iteration with different formulas and finishes. We can't blame them, though—we miiight be a little obsessed with skin tints. The way they even out our complexion while still being breathable and lightweight is just *chef's kiss*!
If you're looking for a new one to add to your ever-changing rotation of skin tints, let us introduce you to the subject of today's #BeautyFYP: the Issy Active Skin Stick. If you're familiar with the brand's liquid skin tint, this new release is basically the stick version but with more buildable coverage and is totally noob-proof. Below, we give you all the details you need to know about their latest drop:
What is the Issy Active Skin Stick?
The Active Skin Stick is marketed as a complexion stick that offers buildable light to medium coverage. It has a natural matte finish that looks like your skin, but better. It aims to simplify your makeup routine because it doesn't require expert blending—you can either use a dense makeup brush or even your fingers to blend it out.
P.S. The Active Skin Stick is part of Issy's Skin That Works collection that includes the True Flex Gel Powder, True Flex Bi-Phase Setting Mist, and True Flex All-Day Setting Spray.
Who's it for?
The Active Skin Stick is perfect for the girlies who want a skin tint that is more compact and mess-free. It's a great starter base product for makeup beginners, as it can already even out the complexion and camouflage light pimple marks without feeling sticky and heavy on the skin.
What are the ingredients in the Issy Active Skin Stick?
There are two key ingredients in the Active Skin Stick: caffeine and tocopherol (a.k.a. vitamin E), both of which are known for their antioxidant properties that help protect the skin against environmental stressors, moisturize it, and keep it healthy and hydrated.
What are the available shades of the Issy Active Skin Stick?
