Complexion is the most important step when it comes to makeup – surely we can all agree on that. Getting your base makeup right is the best way to even out your overall appearance so that your canvas is fully primed for the fun stuff. In other words, it’s absolutely necessary. This is why we’re obsessed with perfecting our base, because beautiful, glowing skin will always start the day right (plus, it’ll bring in all the compliments).
A product to help you achieve that needs no introduction. By now, you would have heard about the YSL All Hours Foundation – yup, the one we tried on four personalities and tested out ourselves not too long ago. It’s a liquid foundation that’s easily buildable, provides amazing coverage, and leaves a modern matte finish. Won’t cake or transfer, and best of all, it doubles up as a concealer. And now, there are two new products joining the All Hours party to make that foundation look even better as the day goes on.
If you want your base makeup to last in this relentless heat and humidity, you’re going to need a primer that does everything it can to prevent cracking and creases on your foundation. The YSL All Hours Primer contains Aerogels, akin to micro-sized bubbles of moisture, to sop up any sebum as it hydrates and mattifies to improve your foundation’s wear and adherence, keeping your skin fresh and shine-free in soaring temperatures.
So, we did say you could cover up visible imperfections with the foundation alone, but if you’re going for targeted application and seamless coverage, it’s best to follow up with the new YSL All Hours Concealer. The velvety 16-hour formula blurs out and erases heavier dark circles, bags, redness, hyperpigmentation, and broken capillaries, all without caking, creasing, or fading. You can take our word for it, too. The All Hours Concealer was tested under arduous conditions, i.e. an actual sauna, and it proved to be completely sweat-resistant – again, totally ideal for the Singapore weather.
As the name of the range implies, you can expect these three products to keep your complexion looking fresh for hours on end. We got YSL Beauty’s trainer Irah Rahmat to put the All Hours Primer, Concealer, and Foundation into action to create the perfect base, so you can transition your look easily from day to night.
