I absolutely like this pen, it moisturises at the same time it covers my dark area under the eyes. It is the only one I can use, otherwise my skin dries up and it looks quite scaly, or way too orange. It has the perfect tonality for me, it is light and gentle and it does what it is meant to. I don´t use make up, just blush, so this is just perfect for me to get the fresh look!

Tips: I also use it on my eyelids and corner of the eyes to get a really natural look, then I put on my eyeliner and mascara. ;)
When working in cosmetics I would use this product religiously, however only for its reputation. Personally I have found nicer products that are similar, such as the new Maybelline illuminating stick. Gorgeous packaging though, If i had the cash to splash around i probably would buy it again because it does feel like luxury, however I think it is ovverated for the price!
We all know YSL packaging is stunning but when it’s pricey you really want the product to be just as fantastic. For me, this isn’t worth the investment however I can’t say that I have found a dupe that is close to this in terms of the natural brightness it brings to the areas of my face. I have the shade 4.5 Luminous Sand which complements my MAC NC42-44 skintone nicely.
I like that it comes in pen form but sometimes I have an issue when my fingers are slippery from moisturiser/concealer/foundation. It can be tricky when trying to put the lid back on. Like any pen form product it’ll take a number of clicks until the product comes out for the first use but once it does it will only take a click or two going forward.
What I love about the product is that it’s lightweight, blendable and brightens the areas where I apply it. The first few times I wore this, I received compliments that I looked refreshed and this was the only thing that was different. It’s a bit on the average side of coverage because I can still see my dark circles coming through and it’s no match for my oily lids because the product is pretty much gone by lunch time even when set with powder.
I like wearing this with minimal makeup (i.e. no foundation) mainly under my eyes, bridge of my nose, forehead and chin because it looks as if I almost have a natural even skintone. I like this product however not enough to say that I would repurchase it. I’m positive I can find something that is more affordable with more product rather than just 2.5ml.
Tips: Since this is pricey I would recommend going into Farmers to be matched to the highlighter shade that suits you. I asked the beauty consultant to do one side of my face so I could really see the difference. I walked around the beauty area to ensure that what I saw in the mirror was still the same under different lighting.
This would be a nice concealer if you don't have dark circles like I do. This was recommended to me as it is claimed to be one of the best concealers out there. It does go on nicely and sits well on my skin but unfortunately did not give me the coverage that I was after. I can see how it would be nice if you don't have dark circles. It is on the pricier side and for me Collection and L'Oreal Infallible are more effective.
Tips: Try in store before you buy.
I had been using a highlighter for a while, but one day my best friend handed me one of these and I have only used it since! Obviously not the same tube...
I know it's on the expensive end of makeup products, but it really is worth it. The pen is so easy to use, and just a few dabs under your eye gives you enough product to smooth out and highlight. I do recommend getting one that is suited for your skin tone, as it can make all the difference in how your final makeup look turns out.
Tips: My bathroom tends to get quite cold sometimes, and I found that the product got thicker the colder the weather, so I now keep it somewhere warmer and it's kept to a decent consistency.
This was my first YSL product and it took me awhile to bite my lip to splurge out on this baby. It was a WOW moment for me as soon as I tried it on. This product is amazing! Worked fantastically to brighten up the under eye dark areas and gives a gorgeous highlighting glow. I'm on my second pen and will continue to repurchase. However this product probably won't be enough to cover some stubborn blemishes or huge zits! So I would use other concealers for that, don't waste this on it because it ain't cheap :) But I would definitely recommend this to anybody you will not be disappointed!
Tips: I use this as the last step of my makeup routine, putting powder over it would take away the illuminating effect! Strawberrynet is the cheapest place to buy so far but I've noticed they do have older stock. Also YSL has bought out more shades on this I believe so it's worth going into the counter to try it out yourself.
There are few products I really splurge on. YSL Touche Eclat is certainly one! Great way to brighten up full coverage or matte looking foundations. I love using it as a reverse lip liner, corners beside nose, highlighter and more! Please note this is not really a concealer, I see many reviews where people are trying to use it all the way under the eyes and complaining when their dark circle still show. This will work well, provided you lay some coverage down first (under eye concealer) unless of course you are lucky enough not to have these! A little goes a long way and it's too good to waste, so be careful not to click too many times. Love this and would definately recommend!
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.
Tips: If Im wearing a bold lipstick I like to dab a tiny bit on the top of my cupids bow, it makes my pout stand out alot better.
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!

WOW! Never in my life have I used a product that is as effective as this! With the click of a button my lines & wrinkles were erased before my eyes! I looked 10 years younger in 5 minutes. it was incredible
Tips: buy it. lots of it
