Product Information
Full details
The Yves Saint Laurent Skin Affair Cushion Foundation is ideal for individuals seeking a fusion of skincare and makeup, specifically those who desire a radiant, dewy complexion with buildable coverage. This serum-infused foundation provides up to +40% instant hydration, making it a perfect choice for those with dry or dull skin looking for a weightless, blurred finish; however, users who prefer a completely matte, full-coverage look may find the soft-glow finish too luminous for their personal style.

FAQs
Is this foundation suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula contains hydrating ingredients like Squalane and Niacinamide, but we recommend performing a patch test if you have specific skin sensitivities.
Can I use my own brush to apply this foundation?
While the included cushion puff is optimized for this formula, you can use a dense foundation brush to tap the product onto the skin.
How often should I replace the cushion refill?
Depending on daily usage, the average refill lasts between one to three months with consistent application.
Does this product provide sun protection?
This specific foundation is focused on hydration and radiance; it does not replace the need for dedicated broad-spectrum SPF.
Is the shade Ln5 suitable for cool or warm undertones?
Shade Ln5 is designed to provide a natural, neutral-to-cool balance, but we suggest comparing it against your jawline in natural light.
Can I layer this over liquid highlighter?
Yes, you can apply liquid highlighter underneath for an even more intense glow, or tap it over the foundation for targeted radiance.
Troubleshooting
The foundation looks uneven or streaky upon application.
Ensure you are tapping the puff onto the skin rather than swiping. If streaks occur, blend further using light, dabbing motions.
The product feels too dewy throughout the day.
Apply a light dusting of translucent setting powder to the T-zone while leaving the high points of the cheeks untouched to preserve the soft-glow effect.
The cushion feels dry during application.
Flip the inner sponge over using a clean spatula to access the foundation at the bottom, or consider purchasing a refill if the product is fully exhausted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your compact, insert the foundation refill into the base until it clicks into place. For optimal application, clean your cushion puff regularly with mild soap and warm water to prevent product buildup and ensure a smooth finish. Store the compact in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the 72% serum formula. Always ensure the internal lid of the compact is snapped shut tightly after every use to prevent the liquid foundation from drying out. This product is compatible with most standard primers, though it performs best when applied to well-moisturized skin.
