Our take on the Yves Saint Laurent Affair Soft Glow Cushion Foundation

The YSL Affair Soft Glow Cushion is a liquid foundation in a refillable cushion compact, applied with a sponge puff for a sheer-to-medium, luminous finish. It is built around skincare ingredients — niacinamide and squalane — and claims moisturizing, non-comedogenic and paraben-free formulas. It suits people who want a dewy, natural look and quick touch-ups on the go rather than full coverage. Against matte, high-coverage liquid foundations, it trades coverage and oil control for glow and portability.

Questions and answers

Is this foundation full coverage?
No. It gives sheer to medium coverage with a luminous finish. You would need concealer for blemishes or dark circles.
Is it good for oily skin?
It is better suited to dry or normal skin. The dewy finish can look shiny on oily skin, and wear time is shorter.
Can I buy refills instead of a new compact?
Yes. The compact is refillable, so you can replace the cushion insert rather than the whole case.
Does it contain SPF?
No sun protection factor is listed for this cushion. Apply a separate sunscreen underneath.
How do I clean the puff?
Wash the puff with mild soap and warm water, rinse well and let it dry fully. Replace it regularly.
