The Light Belongs To Yves Saint Laurent: Touche Éclat

One Touche Éclat is sold every 10 seconds around the globe. It’s really quite staggering when you think about it. I started to use it years ago when I bought it on a trip to Europe, so when YSL asked me if I wanted to talk about the product, and of course offer you the chance to try it, it seemed quite a natural synergy.

Long term readers will know that I love to wear dramatic cat eye make up, but that for an every day look I keep things pretty simple. Rather than using Touche Éclat solely as a concealer, I use it as a highlighter to freshen up my makeup during the day. I keep one in my handbag and one at home so that when I do my makeup in the morning I can use it to conceal dark circles, and then rather than bring foundation, powder and concealer with me, I simply whip out the Touche Eclat.

In these photos I’ve used the Le Taint Touche Éclat foundation in BR30 as a base. It has SPF19 broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, which is super important for me living under the Australian sun, and I’ve been a long-term advocate of sun protection as part of one’s beauty regime.

Then I’ve used the Touche Éclat in 2.5 to highlight my cheek bones, the ridge and sides of my nose, and above my eye brows. You can view application tips and videos on the YSL website if you’d like an expert touch.

  1. Thanks for that I am off to try it!

  2. I don’t know if it is touché éclat or you just have really good skin.

  3. The touche eclat looks very classy !

  4. What lip colour are you wearing Lady M?

  5. I love the touche eclat! The slim brush design is so handy, perfect to highlight the nose bridge. It looks so good even in flash, totally a holy grail product.

  6. Even as a guy, I am a huge YSL touche eclat advocate. I have one in shade 2 and it is what helps me get rid of all the shawdows on the side of my nose and eyes. Plus the dark rings on my eyes!

    and I use the BR 50 foundation. As good as the pen but it for covering the whole face.

    It is amazing!
