Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat

When working in cosmetics I would use this product religiously, however only for its reputation. Personally I have found nicer products that are similar, such as the new Maybelline illuminating stick. Gorgeous packaging though, If i had the cash to splash around i probably would buy it again because it does feel like luxury, however I think it is ovverated for the price!

We all know YSL packaging is stunning but when it’s pricey you really want the product to be just as fantastic. 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. I have the shade 4.5 Luminous Sand which complements my MAC NC42-44 skintone nicely.

I like that it comes in pen form but sometimes I have an issue when my fingers are slippery from moisturiser/concealer/foundation. It can be tricky when trying to put the lid back on. 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.

What I love about the product is that it’s lightweight, blendable and brightens the areas where I apply it. The first few times I wore this, I received compliments that I looked refreshed and this was the only thing that was different. 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.

I like wearing this with minimal makeup (i.e. 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 this product however not enough to say that I would repurchase it. I’m positive I can find something that is more affordable with more product rather than just 2.5ml.

This would be a nice concealer if you don't have dark circles like I do. This was recommended to me as it is claimed to be one of the best concealers out there. It does go on nicely and sits well on my skin but unfortunately did not give me the coverage that I was after. I can see how it would be nice if you don't have dark circles. It is on the pricier side and for me Collection and L'Oreal Infallible are more effective.

This is an easy to use, does what it says, amazing must have. I actually love most ysl make up and I adore this. Its really good at diffusing dark circles and making you look like you've been to bed when you maybe haven't ;) Love it

I've been using this for a couple of years now. When it first came out, it only had 3 or 4 colours to choose from, I think? These pens are great for highlighting. This didn't give me the greatest coverage for concealing dark circles as the formula was too sheer. For me, Highlighting would be a 10/10, concealing would be a 3/10.

This product is truly worth the investment and will last forever. This brightens up my eye lids and under eyes after a hard night out! It also works beautifully under the arch of your eyebrow to create lift and definition.

I bought this when I bought the Le Tante Touche Eclat foundation. It's amazing. A little goes a long way. It's literally like liquid gold.

You need to make sure that your foundation (or other base coat) has had enough time to set before applying as I found it to rub away what I'd already put on.

The pigmentation is beautiful and if applied correctly it makes your skin look... Ethereal. I love it, if it weren't so expensive it'd be my go-to but for every day use. But since it has the price tag, it's my go-to for special occasions.

It gives the most natural glow and doesn't look cakey or patchy, it is the perfect liquid highlight. A little bit goes a long way and you have to make sure you don't press the button too many times or you're left with a lot of wasted product in the brush. It is awesome for your under-eyes also.

I didn't purchase this myself, I won it in a contest. I only ever use this for special occasions because I never want it to run out! I doubt i'll repurchase this again because I can't justify paying that price for something that I could probably find a dupe of cheaper if I did more investigating.

This product is beautiful! It is luxurious easy to apply, a little goes a long way and it does truly brighten your skin. It comes in different tones so you can match it to your skin winter or summer. It doesn't give a strong concealment but it reflects the light from flaws being covered. Fantastic
