Yves Saint Laurent Beauté introduces the Fusion Foundation
Fusion Foundation from YSL Beaute has a waiting list as long as your arm, combining patented advances in texture, colour and active ingredients. The foundation (£30.50 exclusively from Debenhams) has a liquid-to-pigment formula, the foundation combines sensorial and volatile oils which, upon contact with skin, evaporate away, leaving only a veil of pigment blend. Offering 24 hour coverage, the formula contains pure, milled pigments each with a micro-coating that merges with the surface of the skin, while the actives work to both mattify and hydrate the skin, regardless of heat, humidity, or time of day. The light-weight, buildable coverage foundation delivers SPF 18 and is available in 16 shades across Beige, Rosy Beige and Beige Doré shade categories.
