The product
If you’re constantly on the hunt for a full coverage matte foundation that won’t disappear by lunchtime (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?) – then the Yves Saint Laurent Beauté All Hours Foundation might be perfect for you. The liquid foundation has been specifically formulated to create a flawless full coverage finish that lasts for up to 24 hours without leaving the skin looking cakey and unnatural.
The panel
We sent Yves Saint Laurent Beauté All Hours Foundation to a panel of women aged between 18 to 35 who were looking for a foundation that left their skin flawless and selfie-ready for up to 24 hours.
The lowdown
Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the Yves Saint Laurent Beauté All Hours Foundation:
How long the foundation lasted: One of the main things the Review Crew® loved about the foundation was how long and how well it lasted throughout the day, with many commenting that not only were touch-ups unnecessary, but their makeup looked just as good at the end of the day as it did when they left the house first thing in the morning.
The flawless finish it created: Testers were also impressed with the flawless, full coverage finish of the foundation. Additionally, many were pleased with how natural and smooth the foundation looked, even after multiple layers were applied.
How the matte finish minimised shine: Many reviewers mentioned how effectively the matte finish was able to control shine and oil production throughout the day. Testers with oily to combination skin were especially impressed, with many claiming they had discovered their new Holy Grail foundation.
Good to know: Some reviewers did note that the matte foundation clung to dry patches of skin, however they all said that this was avoidable when a hydrating moisturiser or primer had been applied to the skin immediately before application.
