The Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation excels in providing enduring coverage for various daily scenarios, from busy workdays to special evenings. Its formula is crafted to resist fading or creasing, ensuring your complexion remains polished.
Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For extended wear, a suitable primer can be applied beforehand.
Dispense: Apply a small amount of foundation to the back of your hand or directly onto your application tool.
Apply Evenly: Use a foundation brush, sponge, or your fingertips to blend the product onto your face. Begin from the center and work outwards.
Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, apply additional thin layers by gently patting the product rather than rubbing.
Set (Optional): For even longer wear or to achieve a specific finish, lightly dust with a setting powder.
Daily Professional Wear: Maintain a fresh and put-together look from morning meetings to evening engagements.
Special Occasions: Provides a reliable base for events where photography and lasting makeup are key, helping to reduce the need for frequent touch-ups.
Active Lifestyles: Designed to hold up well, making it suitable for those with dynamic routines, though heavy perspiration might still require blotting.
There is no complex setup required for this foundation. Simply ensure your skin is prepped as desired before application. Always shake the bottle gently before use to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Skin Types: Generally formulated to be suitable for most skin types. If you have particularly oily or dry skin, consider using a primer and moisturizer specifically designed for your skin concerns to optimize results.
Other Products: Compatible with most primers, concealers, setting powders, and sprays. For best results, consider pairing with other Yves Saint Laurent complexion products.
Storage: Keep the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity.
Hygiene: Ensure your application tools (brushes, sponges) are cleaned regularly to prevent bacterial buildup and maintain product performance.
Shelf Life: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically indicated by an open jar icon with a number (e.g., 12M for 12 months), and discard after this period.
