Great foundation for oily-combination skin. Looks beautiful and feels great. The staying power is very good. I am using shade #7, it is neutral light-medium shade. It has medium-full coverage, but still feels very light on skin, does not feel like a mask. I like it much better than new Dior Forever foundation formula, cause YSL Teint Resist does not feel dry and looks on skin much better.

This foundation is amazing! I am a MAC NC30 and got the shade #5. The coverage is buildable and it smells nice (though not a very strong scent).
I have oily/combo skin depending on the weather but I found that the best application with this foundation is not to use the flat foundation brush!!! It causes streaks! A beauty blender sponge or a stippling brush works the best (even fingers, well for me). Those with dry patchy skin, moisturise before you use this!
The finish was very matte, and my face did not turn oily at the end of the day unlike the MAC studio finish. I highly recommend it even though it is on the pricier side. One pump is enough for me and it feels like your not wearing any foundation on your face at all! It did not oxidise on me either.
Overall I would purchase again when I run out!

I have mixed feelings about this product. I love the packaging, which is a pump and has a substantial feeling glass bottle. The finish is semi-matte and looks fairly natural; it didn't enhance any small areas of mild flaking/dryness that I have. The best application for this seems to be a sponge, with really quick blending (it dries fast). I also tried using a wet sponge but the coverage was not sufficient. To get adequate coverage, I feel like I'm using more product than with other liquid foundations. By the end of the day, when I take off my makeup, I have surprisingly little evidence of foundation on my washcloth (less so than with other long-wearing foundations).

Love, love, love this!!! I have been on a quest to find my perfect foundation, and after months of trying everything I could get my hands on, I decided I would settle for something even just very good. When I finally purchased this in shade #6 ( I'm NC35 ish), I found my perfect match in color and foundation!!! The Florida summer is upon us, and I'm finding this is holding up for at least 8 hours on my combo. but mostly oily skin. I use Obagi skin care followed by Victoria's Secret pro primer spf 20 with this foundation on top. I also use a light dusting of MAC's MSF and I'm good to go! Thank you YSL!!

I can totally appreciate that just like any other cosmetics product this one will not work for everyone, but if you are lucky enough to find the shade, chances are it will work very well for you, unless you are super-dry or super-oily. I for one love this foundation as it provides long-wearing medium coverage that still lets your skin "glow" through, but stays put and resists oiliness and decently covers imperfections. Unlike some long lasting foundations (e.g. Mac Pro Longwear), this one is not tacky at all and easily spreads across your face with just fingers. Compared to Bobbi Brown Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation, this one is much more longer wearing, at least on my skin (normal to combo for the most, but gets really oily in summer - no acne though).
With that said, the color range is really poor. I was lucky enough to be matched to #2 (Blonde). I am light with yellow undertone and wear Bobbi Brown NFLLF in 2.5 Warm Sand. Compared to that, this one is a tiny bit less yellow, but believe me, it is not noticeable once you put it on your face. I like my foundations really yellow and I am happy with the warmness of this one. In Mac Pro Longwear I was matched to NC 20 (although I would've preferred NC17 or similar). That is just as a reference for all of you looking for the lightest warm colour in teint resist. Just as an FYI, the even numbers in this line are supposed to all be on the warmer side, although some of them tend to have a bit more red/pink than one would hope (i.e. 6). #4 is no longer available, at least not in any of the stores in Canada that carry YSL (but I see it listed on YSL site). So, for lighter-skinned yellow/warm undertoned folks out there, chances are you would match either 2 or 4 (or a mix of those 2), but do keep in mind that they are a tiny bit less yellow than Bobbi's foundations (I adore Bobbi's foundation colors, but find that even NFLLF wears off of me quickly and does not control oil enough in the summer months).
As I said, if you are lucky enough to be closely matched and the texture/coverage ends up working for you, this is one of the most beautiful foundations that you can possibly wear!

i love this foundation eventho its quite pricey, the downside is i dont know what exact shade i am in this foundation. Im nw25-30 in mac, asian light skin with pink undertone-quite pale, i also have redness. help me please thank you !

i got samples of this, many samples in many colours. i wish i wish i could buy this foundation but they dont have a good colour range. I couldnt find a match for my skin, everything was too pink.
the only reason i gave it a four, and said i would buy it is IF they had my colour i would no doubt fork out the dollars for these reasons.
1. best finish on my skin - not matte not dewy. just right on the borderline about-to-be-matte. and the finish stayed this way the whole day. I have oily skin that greases up badly at about the 4-5 hour mark. my face was a nice dewy look by the 7th hour. MIRACLE WORK!
2. smells decent. i prefer my foundation to not have a smell, but this wasnt too strong.
3. blended well. very well in fact. i could work with it so that meant my face was even in coverage (i used a mac 187 brush).
4. appropriate coverage. i have pretty clear skin just teeny dark brown acne marks from my youth that are not covered up fully even when concealer is in use. This did a pretty good job at diffusing them - they were still there but the coverage was enough for me to feel good about the scarring situation.
5. didnt feel like you were wearing anything at all. i love foundation like this.
if you can find your colour shade, for sure go ahead. it is worth it. i prfer this to diors new forever flawless which had abit less coverage and didnt have as much oil control compared to the YSL

As I'm getting older, my skin's needs are changing so I've been trying out different foundations and came across YSL Teint Resist. The foundation itself is good and it didn't separate on my face as much as some other foundations do as my face gets oily throughout the day. But the color selection didn't suit me. I was matched at a YSL counter to shade 2, but shade 2 has VERY strong yellow tones. Although I am Asian, I actually have some pink undertones and neutral shades look best on me. Shade 2 made me look sallow. In fact, the day that I tested it, I was asked if I was feeling OK repeatedly throughout the day. Shade 3, was a better match and seemed to just blend seamlessly with my skin. Sadly, about an hour later, the foundation oxidized a bit and just looked darker.....not orange, but definitely not a flattering color. My shade range is all over the place, but for reference I wear NC/NW15 -20 depending on the formula, shade 4 in GA, 100 Ivoire N in Lancome, and Chanel .5.
If you are fortunate to find a good shade in this foundation, its worth a try if you want a lighter coverage, long wearing foundation that you don't have to work onto your skin quickly. Most of the long wearing foundations that I've used have to be applied quickly or you end up streaky. This one, can be blended even after it dries and sets.

I like this foundation a lot and use it pretty regularly. Application is pretty foolproof - it is really hard to make this look like anything other than bare skin (assuming you have the right shade).
On shades though - I wear Opal, which is a very pinky, fair (although not absolutely fairest) shade. It is a reasonable match for me, although perhaps just a teeny bit too fair and too pink. Because of the shade issue, I tend to use this almost as a primer - I put on a layer of YSL, then brush a very small amount of Armani Luminous Silk in shade 5 over the top, mainly on nose/chin/cheeks (as if it were a highlighter really). That gives me a really good, natural shade and finish. Luminous Silk isn't very long lasting, so with this technique I get the right shade and the right staying power.
The thing I really like about this is that it doesn't feel (or look) "makeuppy" on my skin. It really is very light, and doesn't rob off on stuff. I use Lancome Teint Miracle a lot, and I know that is meant to look like bare skin, but I feel a lot more made up in that.
I'm with the other reviewer who says this is definitely light coverage though - at least it is on me. Covers up light acne scars but not more recent ones - I need a dot or two of concealer for that. So I tend to use the YSL only when my skin is looking reasonable or at times when I have a lot of spare time to mess around getting my concealer perfect.

This would be my HG foundation if it wasn't for the fact that it contains parabens and sulfates. If you don't care about these then this is a GREAT foundation. It's so good though that I keep returning to it. I love it. If only it wasn't so expensive! YSL's prices have been changing a fair bit over the last year in Aus, but i think it cost $78 at the moment :( I've been using it for over a year now. Coverage wise I'd say it's light to medium, it's definitely buildable and looks very natural. It's amazing at minimizing pores and really stays on all day even with my oily-combination skin, no powder needed! I use #5 in summer and #4 in winter. I sometimes use Clarins beauty balm under this as a primer and they work great together! The packaging is beautiful and hygenic, I just wish it was possible to control the amount of foundation you get a bit easier from the pump.

Omg I think I found my hg foundation! I have this in shade 9 for the summer. I'm an nw30 in Mac and wanted something a little darker,so I thought I would try this foundation after reading the reviews here. I'll admit it's very pricey,but I don't care. I love the finish of this foundation on my oily skin, I've had it on for 5 hours and I just looked in the mirror and I'm not greasy looking at all. I wore it alone over my moisturizer with no primer and it still looks great. I did dust my face with a light layer of Mac mineralized loose powder in medium dark to set the foundation and then misted my face with fix+.my husband came home and commented on how nice my make up looks today! So I'm sold! The packaging is beautiful with frosted glass and a beautiful gold cap that covers the included pump.so really when u think ofit that way it's not that pricey after all.mac will charge u 36 for the foundation and then an additional 10 for a pump.i paid 55 usd at Nordstrom.will def repurchase.

I love love loveee this product! I have been eyeing it up for some time after hearing good reviews.
I had samples of both 4 and 5, and i liked both but as summer is going to be approaching i chose 5, i think this would make a good summer foundation because i find that it doesnt work so well on dry skin. i have a few patches of dry area on my face but an oily t-zone. when caught in dry areas it doesnt look good, make sure you moisturise if you have dry skin but want to make this foundation work for you.
the price for this was definitely very expensive, however i do think this product is worth the money, it has a nice scent to it but i sometimes dislike scents in cosmetics as i think they are not good for the skin. the coverage is light to medium, its definitely enough to even out skin tone.
the packaging is a frosted glass bottle with a gold cap. the cap has very sharp edges so beware! i love the packaging overalll though.
i paid £31 for 1fl oz.
this foundation is so natural looking on me, i will definitely repurchase but will probably only wear it during the warmer months.

This is my favorite foundation of all time, and I've bought a ton of different ones. I would describe it as natural matte finish, long lasting, medium coverage. My skin is combination to oily and I feel that it does control shine for a long period. However, there's no such thing as a perfect/miracle foundation, and you can't expect this to look completely matte for the hole day without retouching with a little bit of powder.
I love how it covers everything i need without looking or feeling heavy, it's just amazing. If you think that the coverage isn't enough with one layer you can definitely build up, because it will still look natural.
I usually like to apply this with my fingers, beginning with a thin layer and then building up gradually where I feel like i need more coverage. Then I apply a very small amount of powder just on my forehead, nose and chin. That step might not even be necessary for those who have dryer skin.
I always get compliments when I'm wearing this foundation! I don't even feel like using the other ones I have anymore.
For reference, I'm NC 25 and have this in the shade 4, which matches me perfectly.
Pros:
- Semi-matte finish
- Looks and feels really natural, but still has a good coverage
- Can be layered
- Comes with a pump
- Great lasting power
- Perfect color match (at least in my case. but the color range is good, in general)
Cons:
-Obviously, the price, but that is expected when you're buying YSL or any other HE brand.
- In my opinion, the packaging could look better, and the cap is a little loose.
Conclusion:
- I totally recommend it, especially for combination/oily/normal skin. I don't know how it would work on dry skin.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can only get light coverage from this foundation. Right now my skin is going through some tough times so I need good coverage but this foundation does not even cover minor pimples let along cysts. If you have great skin, it works wonderful, but I don't, so I guess after finishing the bottle I will go back to my Dior Forever compact foundation which covers really well. But other than lack of coverage, this foundation lasts about 5-6 hours without any base or setting powder, it melts into the skin, but it does transfer to my phone and to my clothes. The finish is natural: not too matte or too glowy.

My HG foundation. It provides medium to full coverage and makes my skin looks flawless. I would give it 4.5 lippies. It is quite expensive though, and I have to blot my skin a couple of times throughout the day, as I have very oily t-zone, so half a lippie off. As with any foundation, make sure your skin is thoroughly moisturized and primed before application. I am Asian and NC25 in MAC, and I find number 4 to be a good shade for me - the color is very yellow-based and a fit for my skin tone.

Oh, how I wanted to fall in love with this foundation. In Sephora this looked like the perfect color (# 3), applied seamlessly and dried to a glow that radiated youth. I was thrilled and didn't give a care about the absurdly inflated price. Then I returned home to real life lighting only to discover my entire face morphed into the nastiest peachy orange color. I can only say that I have never had a product oxidize to such an unflattering color with such rapidity. I figured I'd give this a second chance seeing as the initial application was on top of existing foundation. The following morning I went through my normal skincare regimen and applied a primer prior to this, well, within an hour this oxidized to the same odd color. I then returned to Sephora to thinking I must be a #2 in this line but NO. That color is very yellow and thoroughly inappropriate for my skintone. Such a disappointment. This foundation smells nice, applies smoothly and covers really well BUT, the color selection is useless if your very fair complected w/o yellow undertones. Removed soon so I cannot attest to how well this wears in the course of a day. My search continues. Two lippies removed for price and profound product oxidization.

This is a real disappointment: coverage is light to medium, needs to be layered to achieve a nice polished look, started to get patchy and cakey within an hour and it didn't feel nice on my skin, rather like some v e r y cheap drugstore foundation. Will not even finish the bottle, horrible stuff, completely overpriced.

Perfect skin look that lasts. Unlike other long lasting foundation, it doesn't look dry. It makes my face glow.

I think I've found my HG foundation. This is perfect for my oily skin. My face is matte most of the day. I do need to use a teeny tiny swipe of powder after lunch as my face will be a tad oily. However, I never have to use blotting paper with this and it lasts incredibly long.
The color matches my skin and I feel like I have a healthy looking glow. It's hard to find a good balance of matte/glow with oily skin. You either look like a powdered goofball or have way too much oil. Also, coverage is right in the middle of medium!
Doesn't break me out, is oil-free and contains a small amount of SPF. Photographs wonderfully. Is expensive, but I will continue to buy. Hands down great foundation. In love.

My first HE foundation and it's now my HG foundation! LOVE LOVE LOVE! It has light to medium coverage and dries to a powdery finish. I feel so luxurious when I put this on. I bought it in #5 and it's slighty pink at first but oxidizes in 30 minutes and it's perfect. I was actually matched #6 at Sephora but that was in the middle of July and I was very tan and knew I wouldn't be that dark for much longer. If you can only afford one HE foundation I recomend this one. Has that lovely fruity/pencil sharpner scent similar to their lipglosses.
