FAQs
How do I find my perfect YSL All Hours Foundation shade?
It's best to swatch a few shades that look close to your skin tone directly on your jawline and allow them to dry for a few minutes. Check the shades in natural lighting; the one that blends seamlessly into your skin and neck is your match. MC2 is one specific option.
Can I use this foundation if I have oily skin?
Yes, the All Hours Foundation is often favored by those with oily or combination skin due to its long-wearing and refined finish properties, which help to control shine. Using a mattifying primer underneath can enhance its oil-controlling benefits.
Is this foundation non-comedogenic?
> Info needed: Specific product details regarding non-comedogenic claims. Generally, quality foundations aim to be non-comedogenic, but it's best to check official product descriptions or packaging.
What's the best way to apply YSL All Hours Foundation?
For a natural, medium coverage, use a damp beauty sponge. For fuller coverage, a dense foundation brush or your fingertips work well. Always blend outwards from the center of your face and build in thin layers.
How should I remove this long-wearing foundation?
Due to its long-lasting nature, we recommend a double-cleansing method. Start with an oil-based cleanser or micellar water to break down the foundation, followed by your regular water-based facial cleanser for a thorough clean.
Does this foundation provide sun protection (SPF)?
The specific variant MC2 does not explicitly state SPF protection. While some variants of the YSL All Hours Foundation line may include SPF, it's always recommended to use a dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen underneath your makeup for adequate sun protection.
Troubleshooting
Foundation appears cakey or heavy
Ensure your skin is well-hydrated before application. Use less product, building up thin layers. Try applying with a damp beauty sponge for a lighter finish.
Foundation settles into fine lines or wrinkles
Proper skin prep with a hydrating primer or moisturizer is crucial. Set targeted areas lightly with a translucent powder using a small, fluffy brush. Avoid excessive powder application.
Foundation fades quickly or breaks down
Consider using a primer designed for long-wear or oil control. Set your foundation with a setting spray after application. Lightly blot oily areas throughout the day instead of adding more foundation.
Shade MC2 looks too light/dark or wrong undertone
Ensure you tested the shade in natural light against your jawline. Different lighting can alter perception. Consider mixing with a lighter/darker shade of the same foundation or using bronzer/contour/lighter concealer to adjust.
Foundation emphasizes dry patches
Exfoliate your skin regularly and intensely moisturize before applying. Use a hydrating primer. Apply foundation sparingly over dry areas, perhaps dabbing with a finger instead of rubbing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Long-Lasting Performance: Stays put for extended periods without caking, creasing, or fading.
Effective Coverage: Successfully evens out skin tone, covers blemishes, and reduces redness.
Smooth Application: Blends seamlessly into the skin for a refined, natural-looking base.
Wide Shade Range: Available in multiple shades to suit diverse skin tones (MC2 is one such option).
Cons
Potential for Dryness: Some users, especially those with dry skin, might find it can emphasize dry patches if skin isn't adequately prepped.
Shade Matching Complexity: With many shades, finding the *exact* right match can sometimes require testing.
Application Technique Sensitive: Optimal results depend on proper skin preparation and application technique to avoid a heavy finish.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started (Setup)
Shade Matching: Before first use, apply a small amount of MC2 to your jawline and blend down to your neck. The correct shade should disappear into your skin without leaving a harsh line.
Skin Prep: Cleanse, tone, and moisturize your face. Allow moisturizers and primers to fully absorb for a few minutes before applying foundation.
Compatibility
Primers: Compatible with most water-based or silicone-based primers. Choose a primer that addresses your specific skin concerns (e.g., hydrating, mattifying, pore-minimizing).
Other Makeup: Works well with liquid, cream, and powder concealers, blushes, bronzers, and highlighters. Apply liquid/cream products before setting with powder.
Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types, particularly normal, combination, and oily skin. Those with very dry skin may need extra hydration underneath.
Product Care
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its efficacy and texture.
Shelf Life: Check the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol on the packaging, usually a small open jar icon with a number (e.g., '12M' for 12 months). Discard after this period.
Hygiene: Always apply with clean hands, brushes, or sponges to prevent bacterial contamination, which can degrade the product and irritate skin.
Securing the Cap: Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out or spilling.
