About Boyd's Dual-Active Powder Foundation

Description: This is an ultra-versatile, multitasking powder and foundation in one. It is ideal for women who have oily skin or those who want a totally flawless coverage. The dual finish offers a virtually weightless feel for a natural matte finish that lasts all day, and it can be applied wet or dry, depending on the desired effect. Perfect for day or evening wear. This also visibly reduces pores and absorb oil for a balanced, natural look. 

  • Wet/dry formula. Leaves a flawless, matte finish with adjustable coverage. 
  • Wear alone in place of foundation, or over foundation for complete coverage. 
  • Creative Color pans are wrapped in individual protective shells.
  • Apply dry or wet

How to Use: Stroke sponge over the powder, starting at nose and blending outward over face. This can be used alone as a complete foundation and powder in one, or worn with foundation for a flawless and high coverage finish if desired.

About the Brand: The legacy of Boyd’s is one of classic beauty and glamour. Situated on Madison Avenue and 61st Street in Manhattan, Boyd’s Cosmetics was the beauty destination for fabulous New York women of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. 

Originally named 'Boyd’s Chemists' in the 1940s, the apothecary faced overwhelming competition when discount drug stores began to crop up in the '60s. That's when Carol Fader, Boyd's Vice President, and co-owner combined her keen imagination with her love of fashion, culture, and make-up to spark an avant-garde revolution in the cosmetics industry.

Robert S. ★★★★★

Two days in and my oil-prone skin still looks fresh by late afternoon, which never happens with other powders. It's great that it doubles as both foundation and powder, so I only need one compact on busy mornings.

George O. ★★★★★

Took this on a sweaty commute and my face still looked matte by noon, which never happens. The dual powder-and-foundation formula means I can skip a separate step in the morning and just buff it on with a brush.

Benjamin ★★★★★

I've been using this as my go-to for touch-ups mid-day, and the powder plus foundation combo means I can skip carrying two separate products in my bag. It really holds up on my oily skin without needing a blotting paper an hour later.
