Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation 25ml - LC5

To confirm LC5 is your ideal match, test a small amount of foundation along your jawline and allow it to dry down. Check the color in natural daylight; it should seamlessly blend into your skin without leaving a harsh line or appearing too light or dark.

Yes, the YSL All Hours Foundation is buildable. Start with a thin layer for medium coverage, then apply additional thin layers by gently tapping the product onto areas where more coverage is desired until you reach your preferred full coverage.

For a natural finish, apply the foundation using a damp beauty sponge or your fingertips. Start with a minimal amount and blend outwards, dabbing rather than rubbing, to press the product into the skin for a seamless, skin-like appearance.

Due to its long-wearing properties, it's best to use an oil-based makeup remover, cleansing balm, or micellar water to effectively dissolve and remove the foundation. Follow with your regular facial cleanser for a thorough clean.

While YSL All Hours Foundation is generally well-tolerated, individuals with sensitive skin should always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (like behind the ear or on the neck) before full facial application to check for any adverse reactions.

Start with one pump for a medium coverage. You can add a half pump or full pump more if you prefer fuller coverage, always building in thin layers. Using too much product at once can lead to a heavy or cakey finish.

Ensure your skin is well-exfoliated and moisturized before applying. Use a primer to create a smooth base. Apply foundation in thin layers and blend thoroughly, especially around the edges of the face.

Start with a long-wear primer. After application, lightly set your foundation with a translucent setting powder, focusing on the T-zone. Finish with a setting spray to lock your makeup in place. Avoid touching your face excessively.

Foundation shades can appear different in various lighting. Always check your shade match in natural daylight. If it consistently looks off, you may need to re-evaluate your undertone or a different shade within the YSL All Hours range.

Hydrate your skin thoroughly before applying foundation. Use a hydrating primer. Apply less product in areas prone to creasing and blend well. You can also lightly press a damp beauty sponge over these areas after application to remove excess product.
