Hi :) Weighing in on my 24 hour shift. I got off work at 8 am today. I put the foundation on around 6 am the day before so I wore it more than 24 hours. It’s pretty amazing. I put my mask on and off 14 times. ( A nice slow shift. Only 14 patients ) Thank you to True Baronesse for her take on the color choices. I too bought the MC2. This is the second foundation that I bought in the cool option and I’m always neutral. I think you should try it as I think we have the same coloring. I didn’t like the yellow hue in the 9 and the 7 seemed a little yellow as well. But, they both looked great on you after it settled down. Thanks for another great review 😘
I have been using Lancome Teint Idole Foundation since it was introduced many years ago. When YSL was offering buy one get one free a while back I decided to try their foundation because I needed to restock. I love the YSL full coverage transfer resistant longwearing formula. I am a 59 year old skincare junkie with combination skin. The YSL foundation gives such a smooth flawless look and blends easily. On more low key days when I am not doing a full on glam look I use the IT Cosmetics CC creme in the illumination formula. Thanks for the review on the new YSL product formulation. I will have to try it when I run out.
I think both sides look beautiful. I personally like the 7, I think it brightens your skin. Love watching your foundation reviews please keep them coming!!! I only wish you had longer wear tests, at least 8hrs. I believe that the average woman puts makeup on in morning and doesn't have time to retouch during the day. So it's not coming off till night, this is why I think there should be longer wear tests. Love your channel and how real you are!
Hello Terry! Totally. I need longer wear tests for sure. Haha. But I cannot tell a lie and sometimes I just can't make the time in the day. But I will be more vigilant about it!
I've been searching for reviews of this one for weeks now, OMG thank you!!! The OG All Hours is my favourite foundation of all time and I am (sadly) not too happy with the reformulation. I think it looks gorgeous for the evening, but during the day I find it to be too luminous. I also feel like it's too drying on my skin, ie. I feel "tightness" after an hour of wearing it (it's interesting, because the OG also has alcohol very high on inci list, but for some reason it never felt tight on my face). It does look awesome on fine lines though, very smoothing. As for the shade - I used B30 in the OG. According to YSL guide I should be LN9 in the new one, but after testing it turns out the MC2 in the new one is my best match (despite it being a "cool" shade... it's not rosey at all, but a slightly olive neutral 🤷🏻♀). Since we are shade twins, I recommend you try MC2.
What you just said is very helpful for me even though I'm cool-toned. I used to wear BR40 which was sort of olive & oddly enough worked beautifully! My skin has lighten quite a bit & looking at the light shades none seem to have that magical olive... Therefore your confirming MC2 is sort of olive and it's light enough for a B30 gives me confidence in the shade. Brands are getting strange with their light shades making them all light peach or yellow when all skin tones still need a touch of olive. Thanks for sharing detailed info!!! 🤍 Ps... I found Rebecca searching for a review on something nobody else had done! That was over a year ago ☺️
@@msdotan1 If you click on Rebecca's link in the description box it will take you directly to their website (to the foundation). Then scroll through the pics of the product and about 5 pics down you'll see a chart that says Find Your Shade. It compares the original to the new. Let me know if you can't find it. 💞
Hey Rebecca 👋👋👋!!!! What a beautiful foundation!!!!It looks great on you!!! I think the 9 shade is better but as you said after you finished your makeup I couldn't see any difference. I don't mind the alcohol or the fragrance in products so no problem for me and the price for a high end foundation is OK!!! So 👍 from me!!!! Thank you for the review!!!! Have a great day!!!! 💖💖💖💖
Definitely 9, The old formula was my absolute favorite. Alcohol doesn’t bother me I have dry skin. I will apply my own sunscreen. As you stated almost every brand has skin care ingredients. I will be picking this up during the Sephora sale.
Negligible difference, but yes, #9 looks just a bit more flattering. And I couldn't care less about alcohol in a product. I have dry, sensitive skin and have no problem at all slithering on my sunscreen that reeks of hand sanitiser.
Oh it's SO true. Sunscreen DOES reek of hand sanitizer. It's so true. And I'm not sure that it really affects our skin. I tend to agree with you. It burns off and we moisturize. Thank you for the opinion on the shade. I feel like 9 is a clear win.
Good morning. The 7 looks great once you blend it out honestly. But I trust your opinion since studio lighting and sunlight are 2 totally different things 😂 😊💜
I do think I prefer the seven. To be entirely honest I kept both and tend to mix them or use the one I grab. If it’s the seven I just bronze it up a little bit. Clearly I am not a perfectionist ha ha
Oh no! I hope they haven't changed it too much. I was thinking of repurchasing during the sale because I loved it years ago on my mature skin. It was the only matte I could use at the time. Ofcourse now there's more great options. I like LN9!
Hello Lynn! You are absolutely correct. There are a sea of options now that there weren’t before. However, that being said, I think this is still a winner!
Hi lovely Rebecca !! Thanks for reviewing this foundation . I really liked the old formula although didn’t end up replacing it 😂. Always use a separate sunscreen . I don’t really worry about fragrance or Alcohol unless it feels tight on the skin . Would definitely pick this up once shade matched . Love the 9 on you 🥰💕
Hello Bridges! I think the nine is definitely a winner and for the amount of alcohol this product has, I was surprised that there was no tightness on the face and no doctors office scent.
I like both on you - the LN9 gives you a real healthy glow, and the LN7 is more a natural look, but both are great on your skin Rebecca :) Lovely bottle, and I actually like a beautiful scent in my makeup!
Hello Helen! Especially if you’d like a pretty fragrance, even when that dissipates, I think this might be just up your alley. I am wearing it again today and truly is quite beautiful.
Was awaiting for your review on this one, as you’d alluded it was coming in a previous video. A few months ago, I received a 4-shade sample of the former version in a Sephora order and fell hard for the formulation and was wowed by the great match of one shade in particular. I went online at that point to buy the full bottle, only to realize by the markdown and couple of shades left on every retailer that I checked that it was a discontinued formula. Why Sephora would send out a sample to drive trial of nearly disco’d items is beyond me. I was so happy to see it coming back but, alas, no new shade aligned to the one I’d loved before. So I’ve taken a stab at a shade and fingers crossed when it delivers next week, it is good. (Side note, went into a lower volume Sephora yesterday and saw that particular location had the old formula with just a couple left on shelf and my shade was one of them! So at least I got that one -and at a clearance price - and now I can compare the new one when it comes in.) I ordered LW9 for me and I really liked the LN9 on you!
I really like this! I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between the 2 different sides until you pointed it out. I steer clear of matte and semi matte foundations because my skin is so darn dry! But I have found that YSL foundations as a whole are really nice. I wore the Touché Eclat foundation for a few years and I believe it had alcohol in it as well. It was very nice but a bit dewier. If I had to choose, I would keep the 9.
I think I need to keep the nine also. The seven is actually getting some high votes here but the nine is definitely the hands-down winner. It’s for sure denatured alcohol which is likely just there for the dry down but they recommend a lot of moisturizer underneath to combat it so that’s an admission right there. It’s a beautiful foundation and it rivals only the Estee Lauder double wear. I’m not generally one for heavier foundations but I do tend to get compliments when I’m wearing heavier foundations so perhaps I should start taking the hint! Ha ha.
Hi Rebecca! 🙋🏼♀️✨ I went to my local Sephora a few days ago and they still had the old formula and they had no clue what I was talking about 🤷🏼♀️🤔 I know more than they do 😂 I’ll have to check back…
@@belindafischer2920 RIGHT? I've even gone in and asked about a new product they SWEAR they don't have. I plead with them to check in the back and voila, there it is. They must think I'm some sort of mystic. Haha.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty yes I last did that with the Tower 28 Mascara, The girl had no clue what I was talking about and then she asked another girl and she knew it was in the back they still didn’t bring them all out yet, but they gave me one lol I do this all the time! Too bad we can’t go together ha ha 😂🤷🏼♀️
Both shades looked great! Lol I have absolutely no issues with alcohol in skin products. I’ve used them all my life as an oily skin girl and as long as you moisturize, you’re good. Dr. Dray mentions it all the time how alcohols in skincare are completely safe.
I totally agree. It really is just there for the dry down but people get very upset by the mere mention of it. I have been wearing this foundation with no problems and no dryness. It’s a beautiful foundation. Thank you so much for your opinion on the shade. You are right. They are very hard to tell apart
I sound like a broken record every time you put me to work, sorry!! My opinion always seems to be the same, though. I prefer the 7: brighter, more youthful. Yes, when you first apply it, it’s too light. BUT when it dries and morphs into the canvas that’s the anchor for the colorful parts, your skin does look brighter, more young-looking. Just my usual $.02. Love ya!!!!! 🥰💖
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I wish!! I am kind of the opposite of a trend setter, but thank you!! Speaking of trend setter, that’s you!!!!! How would we all be able to live without the confetti and party horns in our lives when it’s foundation time????? Answer that, Jack!!!! 😃🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊💖
Very good review dear Rebecca, thanks so much!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩I never get bored by foundation video's especially not from you!!! And also because it's (one of the) first thing(s) you put on your face after moisturizer! This European product from here, alchohol AND fragrance that is asking for trouble for me. As i also do not love to use the PMG foundation, which is beautiful, but alchohol. A little bit mild fragrance i can handle, but alchohol AND fragrance, no. But looks glorious on you!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, and for all the explanation, enjoy your day!!!!!😘😘😘😘
Hey Rebecca I like that seven better because I like a little lighter look think it’s more flattering. I still like my LaMer soft fluid foundation for colder weather coming up but I do like this Matte one and I might consider this
I just want tied this foundation for the first time last night for my sons homecoming pics w family and OMG! I love it!! I love a thin foundation that still gives coverage! I used the saie glowy primer , tatcha Dewy skin cream , exfoliated w Paula’s choice liquid exfoliant (I have very dry skin w some texture) topped with CT setting spray and my face looked perfect! I used the MC2 n loved it..I am light medium neutral n lean a little on the cool side! I like to go a shade or 2 darker bc it covers my dark spots without turning those areas in my face gray! Plus once I get my concealer n powder on it lightens too much! I fell asleep in it last night n this morning it still looked perfect !!! My rule of thumb w color is always go darker bc it’s easier to lighten a foundation w some white pigment that it is to darken it plus you can use the same bottle in the summer! I think this may be my new favorite even over my Valentino and guerlain! I love a luminous matte where I don’t look drier than I am but I don’t have to use powder if I don’t want to!
Yippee 😄 I've been waiting for this! So nothing compares to fragrance like my Givenchy Prisme Libre (and it's not even the nice meteorite scent), wish I knew someone to pass it on to but I'm off topic... The original was thick, full coverage & matte, this one looks more natural. What I liked about the original as I discovered over time was any picture of myself I wasn't horrified about I realized I was wearing All Hours!!🧐 It became the one I trusted for events. Now I don't go to events so who cares?? 😂 It's worth a try to me if I can find a light cool-toned shade. I'm so frustrated with shades, I wish they'd figure out a way to send testers or require brands to produce sample cards, I'd pay for them but off topic again... Thanks for reviewing this one, and I like it when you apply a lot it helps to see it. I almost died laughing when you squirted the first pump right onto your desk & looked for it😂🤣 And I vote for #9!!
📢🎉🎊 Foundation alert!! Honestly Rebecca, I can barely see a difference in the shades. Maybe lucky number 7 is a tidge brighter on you. But what do I know at 3am with a glass of wine under my belt? 🤣🍷👀
Well I like the darker side better. But what is strange is that we are usually a shade match and I got MN 5 and it worked like a charm. 🤷🏻♀️. Great video as always Rebecca.
I think they are both light for you. Maybe try a slightly darker shade. Or just keep 9 and return 7. You made it work regardless. Thanks for the review. No one is talking about this new reformulated version. The bottle is gorgeous.
@@regina_staben I actually did not see any change in the shade except for the fact that as it settled into my skin it looked smoother and more skin like but no shade change.
It's so amazing you can return make up in America! The hundreds of pounds i've wasted on bad colour matches here in the uk is shocking and i'm far from rich! Oh and definitely 9!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I think because it has never been an option in the uk it means I am much more careful with my purchases. We used to be able to donate products to domestic abuse charities to help others who had escaped and were in hardship, but sadly its no longer in operation. I would never throw anything out though, it finds a home because as you say, it's so wasteful!
@@lydia56 oh my goodness yes! I used to donate too. Now gotta be new. And really I should return more. To be honest. Just to get more cash flow. Let’s be honest. It’s real.
I like shade 7 on you because it gives a lift effect and I really like that in a complexion product. Thank you for the review! Can you compare it to the lancome teint idole & estee lauder double wear?
I can tell you already that this product is thicker than the Lancome and much more similar to the EL. For sure. This one has a bit more luminosity over the EL.
I don’t mind alcohol as there’s different kinds of alcohol and denatured alcohol is used just for a dry down, well from what u have read. Most Korean brand sunscreens have denatured alcohol and I’m not sensitive to it. If you’re worried, just moisturize a bit more beforehand. I like ln7 better on you. Looks a bit brighter under the eyes and overall complexion 🎉
Thanks for a great video! I’m struggling to figure out my shade all of a sudden, again, after thinking I was cool toned for yearrrrrs. Maybe the 9 is ever-so-slightly a better match… 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you so much for adding your opinion, Monica. Nine seems to be winning but this particular foundation is really tricky to match. They have this online help tool that’s basically no help at all. It helps you figure out your shade and then tells you to pick an intensity and I have no idea what intensity means. Like intensity of personality? Ha ha
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty hahaha, intensity of personality. That’s great🤣 I noticed the way they did the shades is exactly as you’re saying, with intensity levels. So I may be light or light warm but then I have to look at the pictures to see the degree or “intensity” of my lightwarmness. 🤦🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️ your video helped me figure out my possible intensity so thanks for that!
@@MonLis76 Isn't it silly? they guide you and then drop you off with, "Now, simply choose your intensity." Simply....WHAT? Intensity of my SKIN tone? Like....HOW light of a light neutral I am? I suppose so....but....It's....HUH? haha.
That’s it, Beth, you and I are going into business together! “New Re-Beth Foundation. Now with barrel aged bourbon for that drunken haze look to the skin!”
I prefer the 9. Comparing the old formula with this new and improved one, was alcohol also the 3rd ingredient in the older version? If not I wonder why they felt the need to add it in the new ratio?
That is so frustrating because, if they only had it in, you could save money. But I also wonder if all the shades are sold out in Selfridge’s because they had the old stock and are waiting for the new formula to arrive. We will have to keep an eye on the site.
I preferred the 9 when all you had applied was the foundation. However, once you were wearing your full face (of make up) I would say the difference looked negligible 😊💕
I prefer the 9 always a bit darker is better I think - also does the alcohol make it so you don't need to set w/powder? I can't stand anything tacky....
I got LN9, although I'm a good bit lighter than you. I found it to be okay, but quite orange! Did you find it to be orange? I think I'm going to return and get the LN7. I also can never decide on a shade and almost always have to mix LOL
Wow Rebecca, you review new products like nobody! So fast! I’ve never tried aYSL foundation, and this one contains SPF which is what I might like. However, any foundations that contain SPF will most likely only coming to Canada 1 year later after it launches 😅 We just got Kosas foundation showing up at Sephora Canada yesterday!😂 By the way, I like 9 on your skin😊
Nine is winning so far, Antonia! Oh YES, the darn sunscreen makes it have to be reviewed and testing and it becomes almost a government thing which only SLOWS everything down. Darn it.
This by far is the best foundation ever. I can't use it because it has denatured alcohol. I even called the company to PLEASE take out the dena. alcohol . I have dry skin and although it looked flawless it dried out my skin terribly. I would never buy another foundation . HONEST
WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. I am SO sorry to hear that. It's perfect but dries out your skin. OH NO. Even with a ton of moisturizer under it? But that's a silly solution. Sigh. I am so sorry.
@@mariamercedes9338 So frustrating. Yes. Makes sense that you are no stranger to moisturizer. Darn it. Gotta go dewy with the foundation, I suppose. SIGH.
I like shade 9 better on you. At first I thought 7 until I saw the demo and it’s too light on you. I absolutely love the old formula so I can imagine this is good.
LW 1, 7, 8 or 9. All are light with warm undertones like your previous match. If you look at the degrees, it goes from the fairest light warm to the deepest while still light warm. Supposedly. It’s also preference for how you like it to appear on the face among those four light warm shades.
I've never tried the YSL foundation but SPF 30 is a no from me i like to put my own SPF on and it shortens the life of the foundation when they add SPF. Think I'll give this one a miss
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Ya and if your going out for the evening you can't wear a foundation with SPF in it, you don't want to spend all night avoiding any photos 🤣
I haven’t worn it for days on end but, with moisturizer, it’s honestly been just fine. Seems more for the dry down. And I don’t smell that weird alcohol scent.
Hi! I am having issues with this foundation 🥺 after a while it seems blotchy on my skin... I use primer and setting powder and wondering if I should skip those steps... I switched over from Huda .... Help please!
Yes!!! Try no primer and no powder. That will tell us. I feel the foundation will not be disturbed that way. Then add in primer for about a week or a little less and see if it stays and, if it does, we will know it’s the powder. I think we need a bit of a process of elimination but I agree that it is either the primer or the powder. Let’s start there and keep me updated.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty My apologies Rebecca I should have started my comment with "since this new version..." I got so excited when you said it had been reformulated thinking they had taken out the denatured alcohol. But no😔. Another comprehensive and informative review.
@@MariaDuarte-mt1ez oh goodness. No no no need to apologize my friend. I should apologize to YOU as I read back my comment and it sounded testy. Not in the least!!! I totally hear you. A chance for them to remove those things yet they did not. Agreed.
