Touche Eclat

 I decided to go French and try out the famous YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch. I'm sure you have all seen or read about this product numerous times in magazines.

What is it exactly?
Touche Eclat is a concealer, brightener, and highlighter all in one.

Where do you apply it?
Well, this product is focused for the under eye area, and above the apples of the cheek.  You can apply to other areas, such as around the nostrils, and above/below the lip area, to accentuate these features. Remember it does act like a highlighter and tends to brighten up specific areas. 

What does it do?
According to YSL's website-
"The beauty secret of the world's top makeup artists and models, Touche Éclat is the original must-have for a radiant, flawless face. Capture 8 hours of sleep with the click of a pen. With a few strategic strokes of this award-winning complexion highlighter—dark circles, fine lines and signs of fatigue virtually disappear. Powered by the radiance-boosting Luminocaptide Complex, skin is instantly illuminated, so you look rested and refreshed—even if you’ve been up for hours. Sleek and sophisticated, it discretely slips into a makeup bag for quick touch-ups anytime. It’s the one beauty essential no woman should ever be without."

Where do you buy it? How much is it?
Well it's available at Sephora, Holt Renfrew, Murale, and some locations of The Bay. It's about $50.00.

Initially, what did I think about it?
Well, the consistency of the product was nice and light, but I found that the colors were a little wonky to start with. Sorry- I'm not a pink undertone but an olive undertone- come on I'm Indian!  When I first attempted to find a shade that was similar to my skin tone, I found that the shades jumped from really light to really dark.  There was no medium. I ended up getting the Luminous Ivory shade, which seems a bit light for me. 

After trying it on....
I found myself a little perplexed about the product.  I have horribly dark circles (as you should all know by now), and I found that it wasn't enough coverage for my dark circles.  It's a sheer coverage and does add some look of radiance to my skin, but I'm still unsure. I needed a thicker concealer to help.  But I guess over time and use, the product helps with dark circles, lines, and blah blah blah.  The usual situation with most under eye products.  I'm going to keep using it, to see if it actually helps my dark circles. Only time will tell.
