 THE VERDICT:

If we are talking about cream foundation, I would say that I am very loyal to MAC Full Coverage; it's the best there is in my opinion, but BYS' Creme Foundation is making me cheat lately. :D

WHAT IS IT?

A full coverage foundation with a matte finish. Locally, it comes in about 5 or 6 shades.

 Product comes with a sponge applicator, but personally, I prefer using a sponge with it.

The foundation has a soft cream texture with an emollient consistency. Compared with MAC Full Coverage, this feels much thinner. It has a slight waxy scent, but isn't that bothersome anyway; good news for those who dislike fragrance in their makeup.

HOW IS IT? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

Bare skin

One layer of the cream foundation

Whoa! Look at that: one layer and everything is covered! I haven't used concealer and corrector with it and it covered my dark circles and spots decently! Finish is semi- matte.

Warm Beige is a medium beige shade with a neutral undertone; it's obviously light for my skin tone. There's a darker shade called Medium Beige, but that one is always out of stock though; I feel like that that's my shade.

TIP: This foundation is best applied with a dense brush with shorter bristles like a flat kabuki or mushroom brush. Not the best one to use with sponge because it doesn't let the product set properly on the skin. 

I personally love setting this product with BYS Banana Powder because the powder helps adjust the foundation shade to my skin tone for a bit. What impressed me the most about this foundation is its staying power: I wore it to an event wherein I walked a lot, perspired a lot, and commuted a lot, but the foundation did not budge; my T-Zone just got a bit oily (a bit!!!), which was easy to remedy, but the rest of my makeup was intact - this is the reason why I love this foundation; it has great staying power, but isn't pricey! I don't know if the Banana Powder had anything to do with it, but overall, staying power is A-OK!

In all honesty, I am not the biggest fan of BYS foundations because I only liked one among their range, but this one has reshaped my perception on the brand's face base products. BYS Creme Foundation is a good product and I don't mind having it as an affordable alternative when I hit pan on MAC Full Coverage; finally, an awesome drugstore foundation! I recommend this product to those who have oily, blemished skin and even dry skin because of its emollient feel.
