FAQs

What kind of coverage does the YSL All Hours Foundation provide?

The Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation offers full, buildable coverage, allowing you to achieve a flawless look while still feeling comfortable on the skin.

What type of finish can I expect from this foundation?

This foundation delivers a natural matte finish, which helps to control shine and create an even, refined complexion.

How do I choose the correct shade, especially for Shade LW4?

Shade LW4 is typically for light skin tones with warm undertones. To choose the correct shade, it's best to swatch foundations on your jawline in natural light. Consider using YSL's official shade matching tools or consulting a beauty advisor. LW indicates Light Warm.

Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?

Yes, its long-wearing, matte finish makes it particularly suitable for individuals with normal to oily skin, as it helps to control excess shine throughout the day.

What is the best way to apply the All Hours Foundation for a smooth look?

For best results, apply with a clean foundation brush or a damp beauty sponge, blending from the center of your face outwards. Start with a small amount and build coverage as needed for a smooth, even application.

How long does the YSL All Hours Foundation typically last on the skin?

The All Hours Foundation is formulated for 24-hour wear, designed to provide exceptional longevity and stay flawless from morning to night.

How should I remove this long-wear foundation?

Due to its long-wear properties, it's recommended to use a dedicated makeup remover or a cleansing balm/oil to effectively break down and remove the foundation before cleansing your face.

Troubleshooting

Foundation looks cakey or heavy

Ensure your skin is well-prepped (exfoliated and moisturized). Use less product and build coverage gradually. Apply with a damp beauty sponge for a sheerer, more natural finish.

Foundation appears streaky or uneven

Make sure your application tool (brush or sponge) is clean and in good condition. Apply foundation in thin layers and blend thoroughly, working from the center of your face outwards.

Foundation doesn't last all day

Use a compatible face primer before application. Lightly set your foundation with a translucent powder and finish with a setting spray. Avoid excessive touching or rubbing of your face throughout the day.

Foundation emphasizes dry patches or fine lines

Thoroughly moisturize your skin before applying. Consider a hydrating primer. Apply less product in areas prone to dryness or fine lines. Gently pat the foundation into these areas rather than rubbing.

Shade looks too light/dark or incorrect undertone

The LW4 shade is for Light Warm undertones. If it's not matching, try swatching different shades on your jawline in natural light before purchasing. Consult YSL's shade finder or an in-store expert for personalized shade matching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Longevity: Stays flawless for extended periods, reducing the need for touch-ups.
  • High Coverage: Delivers significant coverage to mask blemishes and discolouration effectively.
  • Matte Finish: Excellent for oil control and creating a smooth, even complexion.
  • Premium Brand Quality: Reflects the high standards and sophisticated formulation associated with Yves Saint Laurent beauty products.
  • Comfortable Wear: Avoids a heavy or suffocating feeling despite its full coverage.

Cons

  • Shade Matching Complexity: Selecting the perfect shade online can be challenging without a physical swatch.
  • Skin Preparation Dependent: May emphasize dry patches if the skin is not adequately exfoliated and moisturized prior to application.
  • Removal: Requires thorough cleansing to ensure complete removal due to its long-wear properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. First Use: Ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed, moisturized, and primed to create an optimal canvas for the foundation. This step is crucial for smooth application and extended wear.
  2. Dispenser: The foundation comes with a pump dispenser. Prime it by pressing a few times until the product flows consistently.

Compatibility

  • Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types, particularly beneficial for normal to oily skin due to its matte finish. For dry skin, ensure thorough hydration and potentially use a hydrating primer.
  • Complementary Products: Pairs well with various primers (hydrating or mattifying), concealers, setting powders, and setting sprays from Yves Saint Laurent or other reputable brands.
  • Application Tools: Compatible with synthetic foundation brushes, beauty sponges, or clean fingertips.

Care

  • Storage: Store the foundation upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. High heat can alter the product's consistency and effectiveness.
  • Hygiene: Regularly clean your foundation brushes and sponges to prevent bacterial buildup, which can affect both product application and skin health.
  • Shelf Life: Refer to the 'Period After Opening' (PAO) symbol, typically a jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 12M or 24M), on the product packaging. This indicates how many months the product is safe to use after opening. Dispose of the product if you notice changes in texture, scent, or color before the PAO date.
