Hi everyone I recently bought this foundation form YSL and all I can say about it is SPLURGE!
I admit it, I do like to spend a bit of money on makeup because of the high status brand but undeniably I still love the good old drugstore. Anyway onto the review, I actually binned this product because I finished it so I don't know my exact shade but I was probably the lightest colour (just found out im 001 Ivory).
PACKAGING: The packaging of this product is awful, I much prefer a glass bottle with a pump. Although this product is good for me because I'm always on the go, the packaging is durable and easy to chuck in your bag. The only thing that I'm undecided about this product is the way you apply it, it comes with a built in brush which is incredibly soft and amazing when your on the go but it isn't the most hygienic thing to use on my skin in addition to that my skin is very sensitive so it can sometimes create problems for my skin. Also I find it very hard, almost impossible to wash the brush because I always seem to ruin the product or the brush starts to misshape or fray. I did have to cut the packaging open to get the excess foundation out but there wasnt much in there which broves the brush mechanism works :)

PRODUCT: THIS FOUNDATION IS AMAZING! Yes there's nothing much else for me to say, I don't usually go for the matte look because it can look 'made up and un-natural' but this foundation just literally looks like my skin. YSL are famous for there ingenious products such as the 'infamous' Touche Eclat and rightly so, they spend time creating there products thats why they are truly one of my favourite brands. The consistency of this foundation is smooth and light, not heavy at all. It was easy to apply and did not come out patchy at all, it gave me a flawless finish and looked natural. One of the downfalls to this product is that it took about 10-20minutes to set into my skin so if your on the go and you want a natural look this might not be a good option for you, on the other hand it is good if you want a uniformed look that will take you two minutes to do and you dont mind that it dosn't look as natural as it should. Also this product claims to 'look radiant', 'deliver a flawless finish' and 'allow easy application' and to be honest this product pretty much does what is sais on the bottle.
PRICE: I think this product isnt that expensive but it's in my splurge collection because i seriously didnt need it I just wanted it. Anyway this product is priced at £25-£34 which in my eyes is average and affordable for a high end foundation such as this. This product is 1.3oz so it is tottaly afordable for me!
