Acne-Safe & Acne-Scary Makeup Spotlight: NYX Cosmetics
Who doesn't love a good piece of trivia? While we're skincare and makeup trivia enthusiasts, and even once aced an entire category in Jeopardy on makeup, we never would have guessed what the makeup line NYX was named after. If you knew Nyx is the Greek goddess of night, you deserve a trophy – or free NYX makeup for life.
As we continue to explore every single makeup brand's acne-safe options, we would be remiss to leave out the drugstore staple, NYX. They've been around since 1999 and are known for affordable, professional makeup and trendy makeup palettes. Check out how many acne-safe NYX items you can add to your next drugstore run here!
