Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application Instructions
- Prepare Skin: Begin with a clean, moisturized face. For extended wear, a primer can be applied beforehand.
- Dispense: Apply a small amount of foundation to the back of your hand or directly to your face. Start with a pea-sized amount; a little goes a long way with full-coverage formulas.
- Apply: Using your preferred tool – a foundation brush, sponge, or clean fingertips – blend the foundation evenly across your face. Start from the center and blend outwards, paying attention to the jawline and hairline for a seamless transition.
- Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, apply a second thin layer and gently tap into the skin.
- Set (Optional): For an even more prolonged wear or in very humid conditions, you may lightly set with a translucent powder.
Skin Compatibility
The Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation is formulated with a breathable formula and Hyaluronic acid to provide all-day hydration, making it generally suitable for many skin types. Its natural luminous matte finish is particularly beneficial for those seeking oil control and a refined look. The skin-caring benefits are designed to improve skin feel for all users.
Product Care
- Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain formula integrity.
- Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the applicator directly to your face if possible. Regularly clean any brushes or sponges used for application.
- Removal: Always remove foundation thoroughly at the end of the day using a gentle makeup remover and cleanser to allow your skin to breathe and benefit from the product's long-term skin-caring effects.
