I see alot of people raving over Yaby products but mainly the eyesdahodws..So I did buy a few of the already ready palettes of the eyeshadows...cant wait till they arrive..

but I am wondering about their powders and concealers...
are they good as well??

or what would some of you recommend in terms of good powders and concealers...even if another brand..

Thanks all!!!

I love both the powders and the concealers.
They are incredibly pigmented (so a little goes a looooong way) but very easy to work with, never dry or cakey.

Once I started using them, I never went back to anything else.

I have the cream foundation palettes (both) and they are amazing!  I used to hate cream foundations until I tried Yaby.  I actually used the Yaby foundations for this:

How natural are Yaby products? What sort of ingredients do they use?
Cheers!

The only little hangup I have is that he was a little underwhelmed on the blush colours... but he didn't apply it on prepped skin... it had nothing to stick to tongue

yaby isn't about how natural the ingredients are.  strictly speaking, no cosmetics or skincare is natural even if it contains a long list of plant derived ingredients, every product needs a number of stabalizers for the ingredients itself, the antioxidants and the preservatives.

the only natural makeup is the way cave people did it, open up the fruit that you know is safe for you to eat, and paint your face with it.

yaby's philosophy is creating colors that are safe for the intended area of use, without the use of unstable (especially the highly hyped 'natural' ingredients), essential oils and fragrance. 

i don't personally believe in fragrance in skincare or makeup as they are usually one of the biggest reason for causing slow developing allergies that can spread beyond the face, so yaby products will never have any perfumes. 

essential oils are generally active carriers, any traces of essential oils in cosmetics is not going to benefit the user, however, it can easily cause irritations when used together with ingredients which might not otherwise be an issue to the user.

many plant derived ingredients, although hardly in their natural form, is the culprit of many allergies.  it can be anything from a slight annoying itch to full body blister rashes that take weeks to subside and months for the ugly scars to heal. 


In most makeup products, you will find many similarities in their ingredient lists.  what sets yaby apart is the way the ingredients are processed and the ratio they are put together with.  this is what affects the texture of the product, blendability with each other on the skin, longevity of your makeup's effect as well as how comfortable they are to wear.

I have a full set of the yaby liquid foundation, a few concealers and cream foundations, in addition to color products.  Yaby is awesome, hands down, amazing.  I haven't  foundation anything like the cream or liquid foundations.  Fast becoming an absolute favorite.

I don't have any, but I know you're an awesome source, so I will definitely try them out when I'm done with my other dual finish powders from another maker smile

Thanks for this question — and all the responses! I was going to ask the very same question today.

I recently bought my first Yaby product, an empty palette for lipstick and absolutely love it. So, I think I'm going to invest in the concealers, as well. But, to piggyback on the original question: Do Yaby concealers do a good job of covering dark brown circles — I am having the most difficult time with that! — or do you find that you have to use another product with it?

Yaby is the sex.

That is all smile


...

K I lied

But anyways, I have wicked sensitive skin... Like sensitive to the point where I had barnacle eyelids for about 3-4 months from a reaction to sh*tty cake makeup (You can ask the people I went to school with.)
Yaby, MUFE and MAC are the only products I dont break into one huge blister over, but I was incredibly impressed with the Yaby concealer. It was creamy, covered my perma bags and odd pimple...
It was love at first try.
I am beyond impressed after that little trial off my friend and will deffo be ordering from them soon

Yaby concealer is absolutely amazing but I will admit I don't use it as much as the yaby foundation, because the yaby foundation is insanely pigmented on it's own. The foundation used at full strength has amazing coverage and is enough for me to cover any extras!

I recently ordered some of the cream and liquid foundations along with a pearl paint palette...

I'm incredibly impressed. The liquid foundation is bomb! The price for the quality is absolutely phenomenal! The cream foundations go on like butter and don't seem to get cakey at all... big_smile

And of course I JUST had the opportunity to try out my pearl paints for the first time... I don't think I'm ever going anywhere without them. The colours are incredible, and the application is SO smooth, with so little fall out big_smile

I'm obsessed with them for the moment.
