Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Light Peach

Whether it’s foundation or concealer I’m very hard to match. The pros want to put me in yellow based products because they say I have yellow undertones but the reality is I have pink undertones. Even then I’m hard to match. So for me to FINALLY find a concealer that matches perfectly while covering my rosacea is a miracle. This does both. What I live about it? It’s portable and easy to use. I’m not a makeup junkie nor am I schooled on the tips tricks of makeup…I want easy, one done and don’t want to be bothered with numerous products to achieve my goal: even skin with a natural finish. THIS allows me to accomplish THAT, whether its full face, under eye, or spot application, just pop off the cap and like a pen, apply where needed and blend it out with my finger.

Don't understand...

I used to use Estée lauders version of this before it got discontinued, there are so many great reviews about this product I thought I'd give it a go but I found it unsuitable for my skin tone. So I purchased the lightest shade (luminous milk the lady said) but what came out was a terracotta colour! Far too dark I thought I'd made a mistake with the shade. It was light but not as light as I've found other illuminating/highlighter/concealer type makeup. I also found it very hard to blend, it did not cover or colour correct anything and even when I blended it to death the terracotta hue still remained around my eyes, I cannot use it to highlight because when I apply the product (dot it around or swipe) I cannot seem to blend this and the dots or swipes still remain on ... MoreI used to use Estée lauders version of this before it got discontinued, there are so many great reviews about this product I thought I'd give it a go but I found it unsuitable for my skin tone.

So disappointed and I can't understand why this is advertised to highlight/cover very pale skin tones because the orangey colour that comes out is nowhere near the pale salmon/peachy colour I'm used to seeing. The Estée lauder one was so good in comparison I wished it still existed, guess I have to keep looking for a replacement...

If used correctly, it's magic for undereye circles

I was nervous to purchase this because it's so expensive. I thought that I'd either fall in love or hate it. I fell in love! I have severe genetic purple undereye circles that are veerrry hard to conceal. I'm 30 years old and I feel like I've barely figured it out - until now! Here's how I use this product. After I apply my eye cream, I apply a peach color corrector concealer to the purple areas. Then, in the hollow area, I create a line with this product, and blend it in with my fingers (check out Dominique Sachse's Youtube video for the technique.) It's amazing! I like how it brightens, and lasts well too. It's even fun to apply. If you're expecting this product alone to cover your dark circles, it probably won't cut it, but if used in a routine with other rock ... MoreI was nervous to purchase this because it's so expensive.

If you're expecting this product alone to cover your dark circles, it probably won't cut it, but if used in a routine with other rock star products, it's a key team player. Are my dark circles perfect now? No, but are they the best they've ever looked? Yes!

Light coverage

A nice looking product. The packaging is sturdy and feels expensive. It has a push button at the bottom which releases the product onto a brush. The amount it dispenses on each push was inconsistent. The product was lightweight and lasted all day. It is easy to apply and blend. However, I have used similar products and for this price point I found the Estee Lauder Hydra Prep one offered better coverage and, with the hydra prep, the concealer didn’t gather in any small lines as it did with Touch Eclat. The number 7 concealer offered very similar results to Touch eclat so if it’s a lightweight coverage with nice packaging then this is similar for a smaller cost.For those wanting a full coverage then look elsewhere.

OMG I finally found it

I am VERY difficult to match & my skin is deceiving. To the point I get into arguments at the counter because these “professionals” think they know more than me. I am part asian, with freckles, rosacea & redness. Computerized scanning and these professionals want to match me to yellow based products because my undertone is yellow & medium. WRONG! Put yellow on me and I go ashy. My is light & undertones are pink…SURPRISE! And they still can’t match me. So I find a foundation and stick with it, or go without (like concealer). Until now. Oddly I’ve been eyeballing the vanilla pen. Finally tried it (2.5) and ivory (2). Both work for me but one is the better choice: 2.5. It also covers my freckles & rosacea beautifully. I have no idea what this costs but I’ll buy it ... MoreI am VERY difficult to match & my skin is deceiving.

That it’s conveniently portable for someone like me (tom boy, mascara & eyeliner only) who never carries a makeup bag I can slip this in my bag and use it if & when needed. I probably should have bought 2. Lol… If you’re asian with deceiving undertones try this. I wish I’d tried it years ago.

Pros and cons to this concealer

I'm a 50 year-old with fine lines and combination skin. I use this concealer under my eyes to conceal dark circles, but there are some pros and cons.Pros: It is very lightweight and blends easily under the eye with a fingertip. It really does brighten and cover dark circles.Cons: It settles into my fine lines, but not in a cakey way so it's not horrible or really noticeable. So while I don't love that feature, it's not really a deal breaker. Also, I really dislike the packaging...one click never gets any product out and two clicks is too much. Wastes very expensive product. Because of the waste relative to the price I'm not sure I would buy it again. Otherwise, I probably would.

Radiance and Concealing

This is the most beautiful concealer pen I have seen, shining gold with black detail it couldn’t be easier to use simply removed the cap/lid and pump the clicky button at the bottom of the pen to dispense the concealer up through the soft brush and apply straight to area you want to conceal alternatively you could dispense it onto your fingertips and apply with that or a different brush.I use this concealer under my eyes and around my eye area. I apply it directly from the pen and blend in with my ring fingers. The concealer conceals the dark parts under my eyes whilst really illuminating the other areas around my eye. The skin under my eyes, above and around look refreshed and illuminated after using this concealer. The skin stays hydrated and looks just as good ... MoreThis is the most beautiful concealer pen I have seen, shining gold with black detail it couldn’t be easier to use simply removed the cap/lid and pump the clicky button at the bottom of the pen to dispense the concealer up through the soft brush and apply straight to area you want to conceal alternatively you could dispense it onto your fingertips and apply with that or a different brush.I use this concealer under my eyes and around my eye area.

The skin stays hydrated and looks just as good when I am taking it off as when I applied it.Hands down the best concealer I have used to this day and will continue to use it.

This is a must have

If I could have only one beauty item, it would be this. This is the best illumination/concealer I have tried. Covering under eye bags and circles is the worst, and concealers always look heavy and cakey, or they don’t cover well. But this product is a dream. It doesn’t create, cake, settle in lines, or dry your skin or make your skin oily. It really brightens up your face without all that glittery or pearly fakeness. I can’t say enough good things about this. It also doesn’t come off very easily with soap and water, which is great because it lasts! It does come off easily with make up remover, toner, or a little exfoliation. I use the 1 LUMINOUS RADIANCE even though I don’t have a pinky or warm skin tone (I am a NC20 in MAC). I am so addicted I am going to buy an ... MoreIf I could have only one beauty item, it would be this. This is the best illumination/concealer I have tried.

Total Game-Changer!!

Unlike many others, I HATE the dispenser/brush of this product...I would rather have it in a wand.However, with that said, this is a gorgeous concealer, and in my opinion is much superior to the original version. I had tried the original version years ago, and did not understand the hype around it. It was thin, and didn't cover much...at least for me.I recently received a sample of this high-coverage version along with a Sephora order, and decided to wear it one day as the basis of a minimalist makeup routine to go out to a restaurant during the day.I literally put one "touch" of the product between my eyebrows, one in the corner of each eye (next to my nose), and one on my chin. I then blended with my favorite application tool, the thick and wonderful "Laura ... MoreUnlike many others, I HATE the dispenser/brush of this product...I would rather have it in a wand.However, with that said, this is a gorgeous concealer, and in my opinion is much superior to the original version.

I then blended with my favorite application tool, the thick and wonderful "Laura Mercier" makeup sponges.This literally changed the way I think about makeup. I am in my late 40s with skin that looks younger than my age due to years of using AHAs and BHAs, so this high-pigment miracle concealer covered ALL redness without adding any texture to my face...which showed off my skin in a good way. (As a side note, this color "0.5" was a PERFECT match for my extra-pale 80+ percent Irish-Scottish-English skin.)It was a VERY hot summer day, at least 99-100 degrees outside in humid Houston...on the day I tried this product, which made this the revelation it turned out to be. I didn't feel like I had a mask of makeup on...it was just me. No more sweating makeup into my eyes just walking outside!I immediately, within one or two days, purchased the full-sized tube--and have since happily used it INSTEAD of foundation.In fact, it has caused me to try out a few other new-generation concealers in mini-versions (which have ALL been better than using foundation!), but I have NOT used any foundation since the day I tried the sample of this stuff. Total game-changer!I thought I was too old to have any new "a-ha" makeup moments, but this was definitely one.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat No. 2

I bought this for my fiance for her to use as a base make up on our wedding day. Our wedding day is just around the corner 31.08.2019. She has been religiously researching for suitable make ups on our special day. As a good futurehusband, I know she will look good anyway but I supported her search for the best foundation. Even though I think it is quite weird that she is doing all this her makeup artist supposed to do that, I know that she wants to look the best on that day and she knows what works for her skin.First reactionThe packaging is THE BOMB I have never seen make up products being packaged before and when I received the packaging from YSL, it is so SLEEK CHIC. That is when I know why so many women are such avid fans of YSL make up products.Second ... MoreI bought this for my fiance for her to use as a base make up on our wedding day.

That is when I know why so many women are such avid fans of YSL make up products.Second reactionsShe did tests this foundation and shes loving it She said that it is longlasting, does not crack, pictures beautifully and she is certain that THIS IS THE FOUNDATION that shes going to wear on our wedding date.Third reactionsShe is such a lipstick hoarder. I have seen her collected so many lipsticks over the years. And I bought her Rouge Pur Couture The Slim in code 12. She loves it so much The color is soooooo pretty on her and the packaging is indeed a killer Any lady would fall for YSL packaging. And I am now in a hot mess since she requests for no.11,17,16 and 8 for her collections haha Poor me lol.Overall, a good futurehusband always keeps futurewife happy. Im happy seeing her smile when I gave her the YSL package. I know that shes going to look extremely heavenly on the wedding day. Wish us luck and thank you YSL for making such good products Will definitely buy more or pressed by her to buy more in the future.Distressed FutureHusbandlol
