FAQs

What is the YSL All Hours range and what makes it different?
+

Yves Saint Laurent All Hours is a long-wear, transfer-resistant makeup collection — a system of foundation, concealer, primer, and setting products designed to work together for maximum all-day longevity. The All Hours products are formulated with transfer-resistance technology that keeps makeup in place through heat, humidity, and daily activity. The All Hours Setting Powder is the final step in the system, locking the foundation and concealer in place for the most complete long-wear result the All Hours range provides.

Who is B80 appropriate for?
+

B80 is the deepest shade in the All Hours Setting Powder B-series, appropriate for deep complexions — those using the darkest shades in the All Hours Foundation range who need the most deeply tinted setting powder the collection provides. It is the correct choice for those whose complexion depth requires the full tinted range of the All Hours Setting Powder to achieve a naturally skin-close, non-ashy finishing result.

Why does a deep complexion need a deeply tinted setting powder rather than a translucent one?
+

A pale or translucent setting powder on a deep complexion creates a visible grey or ashy cast on the skin — a dulling, colour-altering effect that works against the natural warmth and depth of the complexion and the foundation beneath it. A correctly matched tinted shade like B80 provides the same setting and shine-control function as the Universal but with a depth of colour that sits naturally on deep skin tones without any grey quality. The difference between a correctly matched tinted powder and a translucent one is most clearly visible on deep complexions, where the colour gap between the two is greatest.

What is the difference between B80 and the Universal for deep complexions?
+

On a deep complexion, the Universal setting powder can leave a visible pale, ashy cast that noticeably dulls the warmth and vibrancy of the foundation beneath it — particularly in photographs or direct light. B80 provides the most natural, skin-close result on deep complexions by matching the depth of the skin tone rather than sitting pale against it. For deep complexions, B80 is categorically the better setting powder choice within the All Hours range; Universal is a more appropriate option for lighter skin tones where the pale quality is less visible.

How do I apply setting powder without looking cakey?
+

Use a large, fluffy powder brush with a light hand. Take a small amount of product on the brush, tap off any excess before applying, and sweep lightly across the face in broad, diffused strokes. Focus a slightly more generous application on the T-zone where shine typically appears first. Brush off any visible excess after setting. The key with any tinted powder is a light application that sits naturally on the skin rather than an accumulated build-up of product that sits visibly on the surface.

Is YSL All Hours Setting Powder long-wearing?
+

Yes — the All Hours Setting Powder is formulated as part of the YSL All Hours long-wear system and is designed to extend the transfer resistance and longevity of the foundation applied beneath it. When used as the final step of the complete All Hours system — primer, foundation, concealer, and setting powder — the full-day longevity of the All Hours range is at its most complete. Used alone over a non-All Hours foundation, it will still extend foundation wear and control shine effectively throughout the day.

Is YSL makeup cruelty-free and vegan?
+

Yves Saint Laurent Beauty is owned by the L'Oréal Group and is not certified cruelty-free by major organisations including Leaping Bunny and PETA, as L'Oréal Group sells products in markets where animal testing may be required by local regulation. For the most current cruelty-free and vegan status of this specific product, check directly with YSL or the brand's official UK website before purchasing.

Is YSL All Hours Setting Powder a good gift?
+

A setting powder from YSL's All Hours collection makes a genuinely thoughtful gift for anyone with a deep complexion who uses the All Hours Foundation — B80 is the deepest and most precisely matched choice in the range for deep skin tones, and its inclusion in the collection demonstrates a welcome commitment to serving the full spectrum of complexion depths at the prestige level.
