Product Information

Full details

The YSL All Hours Foundation is designed for individuals seeking a long-wearing, full-coverage matte finish that remains comfortable from morning until night. It is an ideal choice for those who need a reliable, waterproof, and transfer-resistant base that masks imperfections and controls shine without constant touch-ups. While its rich pigment load provides a polished look, users should be aware that the fast-setting matte formula requires quick blending upon application to achieve the most seamless, skin-like result.

FAQs

Is this foundation suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the formula is dermatologically tested and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

Do I need to use a powder with this foundation?

Because the formula is oil-free and designed to provide a matte finish, setting powder is often unnecessary unless you have very oily skin.

Does it provide sun protection?

Yes, it is formulated with SPF 20, offering a base layer of UV protection during daily wear.

How should I remove the foundation at the end of the day?

Due to its waterproof and long-wear nature, use an oil-based cleanser or a high-quality makeup remover to thoroughly dissolve the pigment.

Will this foundation clog my pores?

The foundation is labeled as non-comedogenic, meaning it is formulated specifically to avoid blocking pores.

Can I mix this with other products?

While the foundation is designed to perform on its own, it can be mixed with a drop of liquid highlighter or facial oil if you wish to adjust the matte finish to a more dewy appearance.

Troubleshooting

The foundation looks cakey or thick.

Use less product and blend with a damp makeup sponge rather than a brush to sheer out the application.

The foundation highlights dry patches on the face.

Ensure you exfoliate gently and apply a hydrating serum or moisturizer at least 10 minutes before foundation application.

The product sets too quickly to blend.

Work in small sections, starting from the center of the face and blending outward to manage the setting time effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable 24-hour full coverage
  • Waterproof and transfer-resistant for all-day confidence
  • Effectively controls oil and reduces pore visibility
  • Contains SPF 20 for added UV protection
  • Non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive skin

Cons

  • Dries quickly, requiring efficient application techniques
  • Matte finish may highlight dry patches if skin is not prepped
  • Requires effective makeup remover due to long-wear formula

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best wear, start with a well-moisturized face, especially if you have combination or dry areas, as the matte finish can emphasize texture if the skin is dehydrated. Apply your preferred primer to create a smooth canvas, though the oil-control properties of the foundation often eliminate the need for an additional mattifying primer. Because this product is long-wearing and waterproof, use an oil-based makeup remover or a dedicated cleansing balm at the end of the day to effectively break down the pigments without scrubbing the skin. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the SPF 20 and skincare ingredients.
