This foundation is engineered for demanding wear, providing a flawless complexion for up to 24 hours. Its Skin-Fusing technology ensures it blends seamlessly, feeling like a second skin rather than a heavy layer. The Hyaluronic acid infusion actively works to keep skin feeling hydrated throughout the day, mitigating the dryness often associated with full-coverage matte foundations.
In real-world scenarios, the triple-proof formula means it stands up to various conditions:
Workday: Maintains a fresh, luminous matte look from morning meeting to evening errands without needing touch-ups.
Active Lifestyles: Its sport-proof and waterproof qualities make it suitable for light workouts or humid environments, resisting breakdown.
Social Events: The transfer-proof nature helps prevent makeup from rubbing off on clothes or others.
The SPF39 offers a valuable layer of daily sun protection, making it a practical choice for everyday wear. Users can expect improved skin texture and hydration after just two weeks of use, even after removal, reinforcing its skin-caring benefits.
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.
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.
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.
