Until recently, it dawned on me that I have never properly
reviewed one of my all time favourite products which I bought in late november
last year and I've only touched upon it here and there. So a review is well and
truly overdue, however sometimes it's nice to wait for the hype to die down a
little bit. The YSL Touche Eclat foundation is a favourite in the bloggersphere
and I've only ever seen one or two negative reviews. Anywho, I think that a
flawless base is essential for a beautiful end result. Your eye makeup can look
top notch but if your base isn't on point, then it somehow doesn't look
complete!
01. The coverage is beautiful! It has a nice light
but buildable coverage which eliminates most of the redness and minor
blemishes. The finish is really lovely and dewy giving a really natural glow.
02. As with all YSL makeup, the packaging of their beauty
products are to die for and more or less faultless! The dainty embossed gold
packaging and the gold italic writing is beautiful!
03. A huge selling point for me is the range of
shades they have available. A whooping 17 shades, I kid you not! With different
shades for pale, medium and dark skin. I've found that even high end makeup
brands sometimes exclude those with certain skin tones but with the touche
eclat, even those with the palest and darkest skin skintone can find a
shade to match too!
04. The only fault I have with this foundation is
that it has a tendency to break me out like there's no tomorrow, so I have to
put on a light layer of foundation/bb cream to combat this little problem.
05. I've found that the best way for me to use this
is to pop on a bb cream/light coverage foundation and buff it in and then apply
the touche eclat either use fingers or a Real Techniques Buffing brush to
really work it into the skin. I tend to put concealer on afterwards.
Have you tried this foundation? What do you think?
