If the lockdown has had you cycling through a handful of skincare and makeup brands, there's a bit of fun news for you to look forward to: a brand new beauty brand is launching at Sephora Canada.

LYS™ Beauty, Sephora's first Black-owned "Clean Beauty" brand launced February 16th and sold out immediately! Luckily, their products are now back in stock!

The well-formulated makeup line has Tisha Thompson at its helm, bringing you inclusive and affordable beauty without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oils, formaldehyde, and other chemicals that don't belong anywhere near your dewy glow. 

With a  goal to create a line that addressed skin concerns from hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and visible signs of aging, Tisha and LYS Beauty have created a thoughtfully formulated line with affordability - and quality -  in mind.

The products, all coming in under $30,  come in inclusive shades for all makeup wearers. 

The launch features blushes, bronzers, setting powders, foundation, primers, and even a lip-treatment oil.

Their buildable foundation, for example, comes in 35 different shades; and their primer includes ingredients like niacinamide, a powerhouse in the skincare industry that helps to reduce the appearance of pores.

With ingredients that are nourishing and enriching for all complexions, LYS Beauty focuses on clean beauty without the compromise or the high price tag.
