How To Use
How To Use
Apply foundation evenly to face using the 170S brush or sponge.

I'm concerned about the pores on my nose and cheeks, but when I apply it to fill them in, they become less noticeable and my skin looks smoother!! It also feels moisturizing when applied, which is great!

This is the first liquid foundation I've found to be good. I was given a sample of NC12 at the counter, but it was too light when I applied it over a toned-up foundation, so I bought the slightly darker NC15 on a flea market site and it turned out great. It doesn't have a sunscreen effect, so if you mix it with Diorsnow UV Shield 50+ it will match your skin tone. If you wear a mask it will come off on the parts that are exposed to the sun, but on days when you don't wear a mask it's comfortable all day without being dry or greasy. I wear a mask on weekdays because of my job, so I use it on the weekends.
When I went to buy a concealer, I received a sample as a candidate for my next foundation. I've been using YSL's All Hours (LN4) for a while now, more for the color than the finish, but this NC12 has a slight reddish hue to it than LN4, which makes my complexion look healthier. Overall, this series seems to have a strong yellow tint. After half a day of application, this product is not extremely shiny, does not get into pores, does not disappear, and does not come off even when I touch it with a tissue! I can feel that it sits properly on my skin until I remove it. When I run out of the YSL I have, I will purchase this one.
I have normal to dry skin. It gives my skin a radiant glow, has good coverage, and removes light blemishes and dullness. I was able to use it in mid-summer without any problems. By the evening, my skin was a little shiny, but it didn't come off in a dirty way. However, if you have oily skin, it may be too shiny.
