YSL Beauté has given its complexion-perfecting Le Cushion Encre De Peau an overhaul and if you’re a fan of both its flawless coverage offering and Saint Laurent’s iconic chevron design, you’re going to fall in love with the soon-to-launch revamp.

First introduced in 2016, the ink-in-cushion foundation became a fan favourite for its lightweight gel-like texture and ability to minimise shine and the appearance of pores, all with a natural finish. Good news is you’ll still be able to enjoy the same luminous-matte finish but now with an upgraded formula that does even more.

The reinvented base is now infused with natural ingredients from YSL Beauté’s Ourika Garden to provide a shine-free effect for smoother and more matte-looking complexion without drying skin. This is thanks to a new Neo Skin Powder active that absorbs excess sebum and jasmine petals that deliver antioxidant protection for an anti-dullness effect. And if you’re all about SPF levels, you’ll be glad to know protection has been upped to 50/PA+++.

With the improved foundation comes brand new packaging as well. The previous sleek black and gold compact has been replaced with a chic faux leather case fashioned after Saint Laurent’s iconic chevron quilt and embellished with the unmistakable gold Cassandre logo. The perfect companion to your Saint Laurent bag, besides being pretty, it is also functional as it is refillable (SGD62), so you’ll be able to change out your cushion and reuse the compact whenever you’re done.

Priced at SGD102, YSL Beauté’s Le Cushion Encre De Peau will be available in 8 shades at all YSL Beauté stores from 1 August 2020. And if you prefer shopping in the comfort of your home, you can cart out via BHG, Isetan, Metro and Tangs. Want to secure your collectible piece before the official drop? More updates to come.
