Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Radiant Touch

Yves Saint Laurent‘s most iconic product is without a doubt, the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Radiant Touch which has won many, many awards in the twenty years since it launched.

>The YSL Touche Éclat Radiant Touch contains tiny light particles and mineral extracts to create an healthy, natural glow, light and luminosity with the click of the pen. YSL describe their iconic Touche Éclat as being eight hours of sleep in a magic wand, as it promises to banish shadows and tired-looking eyes by adding light, and creating instant lift.

The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Radiant Touch £25 is packaged within a golden, metal pen with a black button on the base which you click to dispense the concealer through the white bristles of the brush applicator. There are ten different shades available, and I have the palest shade 01 but they recently launched quite a few new shades including some corrector shades which I really want to try.

There are many ways in which the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat can be used; under the eyes to cover dark circles, along the brow bones as a highlighter, blended over the eyelids to even out the skintone, as an eyeshadow primer, on the cheekbones as an highlighter, or used on the cupids bow of the lips for a plumping effect.

Shade 01 is particularly effective under the eyes due to its pink tone as it helps to cancel out any darkness under the eyes and give a more illuminated effect to disguise any signs of tiredness. It has a lovely, lightweight formula which blends into the skin easily without clinging to any dryness or looking cakey.

I prefer to use the Touche Éclat under and around my eyes rather than an highlighter as my skin is so pale it’s not light enough to highlight, but I like that it’s such a versatile product. I have tried so many drugstore supposed dupes for the Touche Éclat, but in my opinion, nothing compares to the results the YSL Touche Eclat gives, and it’s won masses of awards for a very good reason.
