Last year, several celebrity beauty brands stepped onto the scene, including Wyn Beauty, the clean makeup brand from Serena Williams. The lineup of cruelty-free beauty products is available on the brand’s website and online at Ulta, all at an accessible price point, with products ranging from $8 to $29. Housed in chartreuse packaging, an homage to Williams’ time on the tennis court, the products include bestsellers, like Featuring You, a hydrating skin tint with a 36-shade range and MVP: Most Versatile Pigment, a 2-in-1 lip and cheek color.
Alongside my colleagues, Jillian Tracy and Richa Srivastava, we tested top products from the beauty brand to see if they’re worth the price.
This hydrating skin tint has a lightweight and buildable formula that enhances your complexion. The bestseller comes in 36 shades, ranging from fair with warm undertones to deep with cool undertones. The tint is formulated with SPF 30 for sun protection and the brand’s Unstoppable HydraComplex, which promises up to 72 hours of hydration.
We all agree that the skin tint offers a surprising amount of coverage, with Tracy noting her skin tone looked more even after just one coat. I found that the level of coverage was enough to mask any discoloration and redness in my skin, while still allowing my beauty marks to peek through. The tint has a very lightweight and buildable formula that can be worked in with your fingers or with a Beautyblender. Though I found one layer of the product was all I needed, you could definitely apply more layers if desired.
Its weightless feel is another highlight. Even with multiple layers of the product on my face, it still felt like I was wearing nothing. The tint leaves your skin with a fresh, dewy glow, that Tracy says doesn’t look oily and “nicely contrasts with the matteness of the concealer.”
We also love that the skin tint comes in over 30 shades for fair, medium and deep skin tones. I tested the tint in the shade 315 Curiosity, which worked perfectly for my skin tone, while Srivastava tested the skin tint in shade 210 Commit and Tracy in shade 90 Reach. Plus, the addition of SPF 30 to the formula is something else to appreciate. “As someone whose skin care/makeup routine used to be just concealer and sunscreen before heading to play tennis, I really like that I can get coverage and sun protection in the same product without adding another step into my routine,” Srivastava says.
The Nothing to See Here matte concealer has a cream-to-powder formula. It offers buildable coverage that brightens, stamps out redness and has the same lightweight feel as the skin tint. Plus, it comes in 20 shades to ensure a good match. That said, we all agree that it may not be the best option for those with drier under-eyes as it brings out texture and fine lines. “Even though I have combination-oily skin, my under eyes are on the drier side, so I found this concealer start to settle into the fine lines under my eyes as the day went on,” Srivastava says. Tracy also notes that while the concealer was great for spot coverage, it was harder to blend across larger areas because it sets quickly.
