![]() It can be a lip base as well.Īpplied in the inner eye corners, this stuff will really brighten tired eyes and enhance their whites. Touche Éclat can be used as an eyeshadow primer: simply apply all over the lids to anchor any eye shadow. To turn a satin eye shadow into a matte one, mix a little powder shadow (you'll need an ultra-fine textured one, so you're safest with a fancy brand like Nars, Mac or YSL) with a dollop of Touche Éclat on the back of your hand, and apply with a brush. Because that's not a very helpful description, either, we thought we'd list a few weird, wonderful and correct uses for the much-loved clicky pen. Touche Eclat is also not strictly a highlighter it's a ' complexion enhancer that delicately places invisible ribbons of light'. The brand assures us it is not an under-eye concealer, yet I can hardly be the only one who's used it as such for years - and very successfully too, I like to think (it does work to blur minor under eye circles, but is not good on pronounced ones). If money wasn't an issue, I would repurchase, but for now, I will be buying the Lumi Pen from Maybelline instead and alternating them.To this day, one YSL's Touche Eclat is sold every ten seconds somewhere in the world – not bad for a product nobody understands. I will continue to use this pen because it is lovely. I just find it super over-priced for what it is considering the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch does a very similar job with similar results and a fraction of the price (minus the pretty packaging and it is a bit harder to work with). So far so good right? Well I'll be honest, this is a great nice product, and it does do what it says. It leaves a stunning glow to the skin and this glow wears well throughout the day too. Let me just say, this product is not a concealer so it doesn't work to cover up under eye darkness exactly, but it will brighten the eye area, and any other area you chose to use it on whether that be up cupids bow, nose, cheeks etc. I find a little bit goes a long way, and the formula makes it a dream to blend seamlessly into the skin. The product is a beautiful formula, it’s creamy and lightweight. It’s a simple design and easy to use, although sometimes I over click which ends up in a bit of wastage. It comes in a stunning gold looking pen, with a brush applicator which clicks to release the product. This product is packaged beautifully and screams luxury. ![]() So you can imagine my excitement when I finally got my hands on this. It seemed like everything I wanted, something to brighten my eyes, and highlight points on my face. Seriously, since I first got into beauty. This is a product that had been on my wish list for the longest time. ![]() I’m positive I can find something that is more affordable with more product rather than just 2.5ml. I like this product however not enough to say that I would repurchase it. no foundation) mainly under my eyes, bridge of my nose, forehead and chin because it looks as if I almost have a natural even skintone. I like wearing this with minimal makeup (i.e. It’s a bit on the average side of coverage because I can still see my dark circles coming through and it’s no match for my oily lids because the product is pretty much gone by lunch time even when set with powder. The first few times I wore this, I received compliments that I looked refreshed and this was the only thing that was different. What I love about the product is that it’s lightweight, blendable and brightens the areas where I apply it. Like any pen form product it’ll take a number of clicks until the product comes out for the first use but once it does it will only take a click or two going forward. ![]() It can be tricky when trying to put the lid back on. I like that it comes in pen form but sometimes I have an issue when my fingers are slippery from moisturiser/concealer/foundation. I have the shade 4.5 Luminous Sand which complements my MAC NC42-44 skintone nicely. For me, this isn’t worth the investment however I can’t say that I have found a dupe that is close to this in terms of the natural brightness it brings to the areas of my face. We all know YSL packaging is stunning but when it’s pricey you really want the product to be just as fantastic.
