Strength
LYS Beauty Strength No Limits Matte BronzerLYS Beauty Strength No Limits Matte Bronzer ($ 18.00 for 0.23 oz.) Is a medium dark brown with subtle, warmer rosy undertones paired with a matte finish. The rosier undertone came through when applied when fading out. The texture was soft, slightly powdery and smooth with a heavier feel. The powder felt drier than I expected, which gave me a pause in how it would look when applied, but it melted well and sat well on bare skin.
It had rich color coverage that was far more pigmented than the market, but it might not be a deal breaker for some. I felt that the softer, slightly powdery texture made it easier to use with a lighter hand, allowing for a more buildable cover – starting from a medium cover. It stayed good for eight and a half hours before visibly fading.

The formula is said to be “ultra-buildable” and “easy to mix”. They were semi-opaque to opaque in terms of pigmentation, although the softer consistency made it possible, if desired, to absorb less product for an “ultra-buildable” application. The texture felt velvety and finely ground in the pan, but there was also a bit of dryness. There was some excess powder in the pan.
They applied better than expected as the formula appeared to be soft on my skin rather than dry. Most shades worked well on both bare skin and foundation, but I noticed that the deeper shades were easier to mix over a matte finish, whether that meant a matte foundation or over a setting powder, as it was sometimes darker have been or have been heavily applied to an area and not easily fade out from there. The bronzers carried me well for eight hours in total.
