YSL make high end sophisticated beauty products. This was the first product I owed in the range. I have the lightest shade (luminous radiance).
The packaging is fabulous. It comes in a sleek, elegant gold style pen. It has a synthetic brush applicator. A few clicks at the end and the highlighter comes up through the brush to allow for easy application. The highlighter itself is creamy and lightweight once on my skin. I would describe it as almost melting into my skin without causing creasing in fine lines.
I used this under my eyes to brighten the area after I have put concealer on. This is not a concealer so don’t expect it to work miracles and cover blemishes and dark under eye circles. I found this adds a beautiful luminescence to my skin.
This is lovely product but there are similar products on the market at a more reasonable price. No I would not repurchase this.
LOVE this product! I used to finish my makeup but find that my makeup would look very uniform and monotone. I wanted some light to my skin, i absolutely love it when sunshine bounces of the face and gives a fresh, dewy youthful look. To achieve this effect I used to use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. This sounds ridiculous but it really did a fantastic job. However, after being recommended this product by YSL, I absolutely fell in love with it. The packaging is good because it allows the product content to be managed and dispersed evenly. The product can be used in various places on the face so the brush effect makes it very precise. Only a small amount of product is needed to create a luminous finish to makeup. I would not say this product adds or takes anything away from your makeup but i would say it is a makeup enhancer. As mentioned earlier, I found that this product lifted my competed makeup and brought definition and warmth to the face.
Tips: Use this product down the bridge of your nose and your cupids bow as well as the top of the brow bone and inner section of the eye area. This technique adds glow and a dewy warmth.
