FAQs

What kind of coverage does the All Hours Foundation offer?

The All Hours Foundation provides buildable coverage, allowing you to achieve anything from medium to full coverage depending on your application method and preference.

Is shade MN10 suitable for all skin tones?

Shade MN10 is specifically a medium neutral shade. While 'neutral' aims for a balanced undertone, individual skin tones vary widely. It is best suited for those with a medium complexion and neutral undertones. It's recommended to swatch it on your jawline to confirm it matches your skin.

Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?

Yes, with its luminous matte finish and long-wearing properties, the All Hours Foundation is generally well-suited for oily and combination skin types as it helps to control shine and maintain a matte look throughout the day.

How do I ensure the foundation lasts 'all hours' as promised?

For optimal longevity, start with a well-prepped face (moisturizer + primer), apply in thin layers, and consider setting with a translucent powder and/or a setting spray, especially in areas prone to oil or creasing.

Can I apply this foundation with my fingers, a brush, or a sponge?

You can use any method! Fingers provide a natural finish, brushes offer more coverage, and a damp beauty sponge can give a smoother, more airbrushed look. Experiment to find your preferred application method.

Does this foundation transfer easily?

The All Hours Foundation is designed to be long-wearing and resistant to transfer. However, for maximum transfer resistance, ensure your skin is prepped, the foundation is fully set, and consider using a setting powder and spray.

How much product is in one bottle?

Each bottle of Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation contains 25ml of product.

Troubleshooting

Foundation looks 'cakey' or heavy.

Ensure skin is well-prepped and moisturized. Apply foundation in thin layers, building coverage gradually. Use a damp beauty sponge for a more seamless finish. Use less product.

Foundation settles into fine lines or wrinkles.

Thoroughly moisturize and use a smoothing primer, especially in areas prone to lines. Use a minimal amount of foundation in these areas and lightly set with a finely milled powder.

Foundation fades quickly or doesn't last 'all hours'.

Ensure you're using a compatible primer. Consider setting with a translucent powder, especially in oil-prone areas. A setting spray can also significantly extend wear time.

Shade MN10 appears too light/dark or wrong undertone.

Shade matching is crucial. If possible, test on your jawline in natural light. For future purchases, consider testing other shades in the 'MN' (Medium Neutral) range or exploring 'MW' (Medium Warm) or 'MC' (Medium Cool) if MN10 isn't quite right.

Skin feels dry or foundation clings to dry patches.

Prioritize intense hydration in your skincare routine. Use a rich moisturizer and a hydrating primer before application. Exfoliate regularly to remove dry skin, but gently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: Stays put through busy days, maintaining its finish.
  • Refined Matte Look: Achieves a matte effect that still appears healthy and radiant.
  • Versatile Coverage: Easy to layer for more intensity or sheer out for a natural look.
  • Reputable Brand Quality: Benefits from Yves Saint Laurent's expertise in luxury cosmetics.
  • Suitable for Various Skin Types: Often well-received by normal, combination, and oily skin types due to its matte properties.

Cons

  • Shade Matching Complexity: Selecting the correct shade (like MN10) without in-person testing can be challenging.
  • Potential for Dryness: Individuals with very dry skin may need extra hydration or primer to prevent clinging to dry patches.
  • Requires Proper Removal: Long-wear formulas necessitate thorough cleansing to prevent clogged pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup & Application

  1. Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the bottle to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
  2. Pump Dispenser: The foundation comes with a pump dispenser. Press down gently to control the amount of product dispensed.

Compatibility

  • Skincare Products: Compatible with most non-comedogenic primers, moisturizers, and sunscreens. Allow skincare products to fully absorb before applying foundation.
  • Other Makeup: Works well with cream, liquid, and powder concealers, blushes, bronzers, and highlighters. Its matte finish provides a good base for layering.

Care & Maintenance

  • Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its efficacy and texture.
  • Hygiene: Always apply foundation with clean hands, brushes, or sponges to prevent bacterial contamination and maintain product integrity. Regularly clean your application tools.
  • Shelf Life: Check the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol (usually a small open jar icon with a number like `12M` or `24M`) on the packaging. This indicates how many months the product is good for after opening. Discard if the color, texture, or smell changes.
