How to use CSS on Ionic 4

That could sound weird, but I’m really new on ionic and I’m having problems figuring out how to use it.

How can I overwrite the global scss using the pages’ css?

I’d like to have a sample…

this is how I was doing on ionic 3:

page-list-master {

    ion-slides {
        height: 50%;
        background-color: #090F11;
        background-size: 100% auto; 
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        padding-top: 16px;
        padding-bottom: 16px;
        -moz-box-shadow:    inset 0 0 4px #000000;
        -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 4px #000000;
        box-shadow:         inset 0 0 4px #000000;
     }
}

How can I do the same thing on ionic 4?

But if we already have an element called “app-home” - why add a class to it just to style it ?
vs simply app-home { background-color: dark } ?
