This had been a high end product that I had been wanting since I started wearing makeup but the price made me hesitant and I thought why pay so much just for a highlighter?
Months of wanting this turned into years and I was still hesitant in purchasing this until my husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Knowing to choose something I had been wanting for a long time I told him about the YSL Touche Eclat highlighter, I wish I saw him trying to tell the lady behind the counter what I wanted as English is his second language ( Im so mean!) A few days before Christmas he said he had got me what I had always wanted but the box was alot bigger than I expected. He had brought me one of their gift sets which included an eyeliner, makeup remover, the mascara and the highlighter pen. It was only a matter of minutes that I removed my face of make up just so I could use this magical pen I had been wanting for years.
I have never used anything like this before and I cant believe how much it changed my makeup routine for the better! I get so many compliments on how flawless and radiant my skin looks since using this.
The formula is a medium consistency, so easy to blend and a small amount is all you need for your under eyes, if im going somewhere special I add this down the middle of my nose, above my cupids bow and above my forehead. I like to add some powdered highlighter after applying the highlighter to the tops of my cheek bones to make them stand out more. I also like to blend it using my makeup sponge as it blends easily into my foundation.
I like the concept with the clicking action so you know how much your using and I always start out with less and build up if I need to, I haven't wasted any product because a small amount always comes out, which is different to other applicators that are similar to this one.
For the price I say its worth it 100% I have never used anything like this and its worth every cent, I will definitely be buying this again.
Yves Saint Laurent - Touché Éclat (Radiant Touch)
Phenomenal product!! A cult classic among makeup artists, enthusiasts and anyone that knows even a little about makeup! Contrary to popular belief this product is not a concealer, but more of a highlighter or brightener. It's brilliant under the eyes to brighten and illuminate but it is a highlighter so can be used anywhere to brighten the complexion. On nights out I use it under the eyes, above the brows to give a lift, cheek bones, round the nose area and sometimes around the lips! For every day/ I wake up looking super tired, I wanted something that would brighten up my under eye area and “wake me up” Touché Éclat is fantastic in doing just that. It’s literally is like 8 hours of sleep in a magic wand and I instantly look awake after applying this.
I also love the packaging which is very compact so it's perfect for your handbag or traveling. It's a shiny gold, which to me represents its luxury. I like that it's a click pen, and I just use two clicks per eye without getting too much product. The brush gives a great application and then I just blend it out with my elf foundation brush.
The price is pretty steep, but in my opinion it's worth it. I've heard some people say this is similar to the L'Oreal and Maybelline highlighting pens, but to me, there's no comparison. I will use this product for as long as YSL makes it!
