YSL Touché Eclate

| Tashan Cian

Yves Saint Laurent Touché Eclate is a cult beauty product. It has a track record of winning Best Beauty Product of the Year, year in year out. I never quite understood the hype, although having used similar highlighter pens I figured they where all pretty similar.

Over Christmas I was shopping in the wonder that is Selfridges’ beauty hall, and decided to have a look at the YSL counter. At which I came across the extended colour range of the Touché Eclate. Maybe it was the  shiny gold packaging or indeed the allure of a yellow based highlighter suited for my skin tone, but lets just say I have not looked back.

The Touché Eclate is commonly mistaken for a concealer but it is in fact described by YSL as a highlighter pen. The formula gives light to medium coverage but with ultimate results. Its perfect for placement in the crease of the eye bag, which has the effect of lightening and correcting this area. It is great if used for photography, because it gives a really bring light and glow to the skin.

Overall I feel that the product is somewhat overlooked despite it’s high selling numbers. “Once you go Touché Eclate you don’t go back”

Top Tip: Use in the tear trough or crease of the under eye bag to illuminate and bring forward/in conjunction with your favourite concealer for a fuller coverage.
