Touche Éclat Reviews

I just love the convenience of the YSL touche eclat stick.
Althought it doesn't have the best concealer coverage, Im still impressed by it. It glides on smoothly and easily blends into the skin.
I did think it was a little bit expensive however I would purchase the product again as its perfect for on the go touch-ups.

I wish I could sing songs about this concealer! It is truly iconic for a reason.

Despite using it the ‘wrong way’ as a concealer, I find that it fulfils my highlighter needs on days I have slept well. On days which I where I haven’t gotten enough sleep, I do need to layer another concealer under this.

The touche eclat applies very easily - with the click pen making application super easy while also minimising product waste. I simply apply where I need it (undereyes, occasionally nose) and then dab with my finger to blend. It blends like an absolute dream - no vigorous rubbing or brushes or sponges required.

It brings the most gorgeous subtle health glow to my skin - it makes me look alive without people being able to notice that it’s makeup that has brought this effect. I don’t have any issues with it creasy under my eyes and it lasts all day on me. It doesn’t highlight dryness, which is a problem for me, and doesn’t crease or cake on me.

Amazing concealer and will repurchase!!

Thank you BH for discovering and sharing the true purpose of this product!

I had the pleasure of owning the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat - thanks to my mother who is a make-up minimalist and clueless in all things beauty (God bless her) - and it provided a flawless coverage.
I am also guilty of using it as a concealer as I received it with no packaging. Iit required a fair amount to cover the black rings under my eyes and know that I have the knowledge for its true purpose I am excited to purchase it myself and also the new 'concealer' version.

Super excited about this! I believe in buying quality make-up products and and definitely recommend it it as a staple product. So go ahead and splurge beauties you won't regret it

This concealer is beautiful. It’s so lightweight on the skin and doesn’t crease like other concealers. The coverage is perfect for what I use it for which is darkness around and under my eyes which it helps brighten up and even out, but it’s not quite enough to cover a big red zit, which I unfortunately found myself trying to do the other day. It covered it slightly, but some redness still was visible, but it concealed it enough that I felt confident going out and didn’t stress about my zit as I was much less noticeable. One thing I liked too with the zit coverage, is that even though a little redness still peaks through, it doesn’t cake, crease or flake on the surface like another concealer might and just draw serious attention to your pesky pimple. So this concealer is a big win for me and a new staple.

YSL Touche Eclat Concealer pen is one of my favourite luxury makeup products that effectively conceals my dark circles and blemishes while adding a touch of radiance to my complexion. The shade #2 Ivory compliments my light skin tone.

This concealer pen is conveniently housed in a tube with a brush on one end where a couple of clicks will dispense the product through the brush. I usually apply 3 dots underneath my eye area and gently blend the product using my ring finger.

The formula contains reflective particles, which help give my skin a nice radiant glow. The concealer feels lightweight and works so well as both a concealer and highlighter in one.

Overall, this concealer pen is quite pricey, however, I love how it conceals my my blemishes and adds a glowing finish to my complexion at the same time.

I think everyone gets fooled thinking that this is going to work best as a standalone concealer – not the case. It might work for some people on its own but for me, this makes the most amazing difference at lightening my under eye area and giving me a bit of a glow when I apply it on top of my concealer. YSL packaging is always gorgeous and I love the click pen packaging for controlling how much product is used. I apply it by dabbing a small amount under each eye and then blending it out by lightly in a dabbing motion with my ring finger so as not to stress or stretch that fragile skin. YSL Touche Eclat has some serious staying power, and it doesn’t go into any fine lines or look cakey at all which is awesome. It’s a bit pricey but it definitely works!

**Initial thoughts on viewing the product:**

YSL has some absolutely gorgeous products and the Touche Éclat is no different. The packaging is sleek and elegant, synonymous with the French house branding. The Touche Éclat is a full metallic gold pen with a gold cap and a black click base for depression to dispense the product. Under the cap is a white brush for application, which, on depression of the cap, will fill with product. This iconic product is not cheap, retailing at around $70 for 2.5ml product. I have the Touche Éclat in 5.5 Luminous Praline.

**Thoughts on application:**

There are two killers for me with this product: one is the price and two is trying to get product out when first using it. I feel like I had to click my life away to get the party started. When product started to finally dispense, it was thin in consistency and came out so quickly that I thought “oh crap, I’m wasting dollars here”! Moving on.

Once I finally got going, I have to say I picked the perfect colour for myself. What a stunner. The consistency is absolute perfection as a highlighter. A little goes a long way and blends on top of foundation to bring that perfect amount of POW to my cheekbones, bridge of my nose, and wherever I wanted that hit of light.

I have used the product applicator, my fingers, a dedicated makeup brush but ultimately found blending out with a makeup sponge to be the best bet. The finish is lightweight, non-cakey and bright. Very enjoyable!

Ok, so this product is way over priced for the amount of product you get. That being said, i love it so much. It provides such flawless and natural coverage and the formula feels amazing. It's small so its a great size to travel with.

It definitely brightening concealer which is great for under my eyes, and i'll usually pair it with a light foundation for special events. It also blends so well.

As others have pointed out, they bought this because of the hype. It took me a year to give in, but while I like it, it cannot replace my Laura Mercier Secret (Camouflage) Concealer. First, the shades. I currently have a tan, and I'm not sure whether SA's just don't know how to match girls with deeper skin colors. They always try to match me to the exact same colour as my body which is 4.5 or 5, but I want lighter and brighter, so either a 3 or 3.5 which blended out is right what I need.

Second, the tip gets disgusting over time and splays and clumps together and hardens to the point where you can't get any product out (Check the testers at Myer or David Jones).

Finally, the price. It is not on the cheap side . Cheapest I found it was on Ozsale and Chemist Warehouse online for some $35 +. You get a small amount of product compared to other concealers. and this is not meant to cover up imperfections. Still, there is nothing like this and no dupe is good enough.
