Face Make-up

I never go anywhere without my Touche Eclat!

Advantages: Provides a translucent and effective coverage of dark circles around the eye.
Disadvantages: Need to reapply regularly.

I am 53 years of age I have been using Touche Eclat for the best part of 10 years.I never go anywhere without it. In my opinion it is one of the best of its kind on the market. I have tried cheaper brands and alternatives but find they do not blend as easily and appear to sit in the wrinkles around the eye area. I love its almost translucent texture and appearance. I use Touche Eclat in the darker areas around the eyes, round the lip area (for fuller ...
...artists that I have worked with. I use it in the creases at the side of my nostrils and on any 'having a bad day' grey areas of the face that need 'lifting'. I apply Touch Eclat after my foundation-this, for me, gives maximum effect. I would and have recommended this to friends. ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Value for Money

Advantages: Smooth, even coverage.
Disadvantages: Requires a lot of powdering to last.

...takes pride in my appearance, Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation is perfect. It's thick enough to conceal blemishes and provide an even coverage but not so thick that your face looks caked in make-up. Length of coverage depends on how oily your skin is but it lasts for up to approximately 4 hours personally (and my skin is actually rather oily). The foundation really does adapt to your skin tone, but remember that it is sold in different shades for ...
...a similar colour to your natural skin tone, but you can probably pull off a couple of shades lighter or darker (it looks natural on me whether I'm wearing fake-tan or not). I honestly would recommend it- I can't really think of many disadvantages of this product- I have tried pricier foundations before and received far poorer results than this little must-have. ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

Max Factor Lasting performance for every day use.

Advantages: It is very adaptable and provides reasonable coverage without feeling heavy.
Disadvantages: the choice of colours isn't huge so colours may need to be blended to match.

Having used this product for a few years I have never been let down by it and in my opinion it is an excellent product for both day and night use. I think that it provides really good, even coverage and It is cream based formula that spreads easily. As I mentioned earlier it works for all occasions; during the day I add it to moisturiser for a slightly lighter coverage and by night use it as it is. It always seems to last a full work day or night ...
...option for any occassion, it creates a natural finish without being too matt or too shiny and doesn't feel heavy on your skin. Also I find whilst the coverage is good you don't need too much of the product, as it spreads easily so therefore doesn't run out too quickly. ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

It realy is Magique!

Advantages: Covers dark circles well, reduces appearance of fine lines, cheap
Disadvantages: None!

I am always trying to find a concealer which banishes my awful dark circles and I think I may have found it in this product! My dark circles are genetic (my mum and dad both had them) and I have tried everything to get rid of them - from expensive eye creams to the 'cucumbers on the eyes' trick to drinking litres of water each day. Nothing ever seemed to work naturally, so I started to look for the perfect concealer. I read about Touche Magique ...
...was only £6) I thought I would give it a go. I chose the porcelain beige shade which was the lightest. The concealer has quite basic packaging. It does not come in a box, and the concealer comes in a white tube, which you turn at the end so the concealer comes out through the little brush at the other end, and it says 'Touche Magique' on the side in metallic writing. When I put it on at first I thought it was too yellow, but I found that a yellow ...

Review of L'Oreal Touche Magique

Long lasting and covered well, benefit's boi-ing was great!

Advantages: Long lasting and illuminating
Disadvantages: Slightly sticky texture

...brands but decided to give benefit a go having enjoyed many of their other products. At first i was unsure of the texture, feeling it was a bit too creamy, but it went onto my skin nicely and little was needed for excellent coverage. It stayed on all day and has an illuminating effect to make you look fresher and more awake which is always a bonus. One thing i did notice, is that eye makeup like to transfer onto the product and i ended up wiping ...
