YvesSaintLaurent's Touche Eclat has become known as the best highlighter money can buy, and that's not without reason. Yes, the brand name and packaging are appealing, but it's the miracle inside the shiny gold tube that you're paying for. And believe, me it's worth the money.
Before Touche Eclat, YvesSaintLaurent was not particularly well-known for its make-up line. Whilst many designer cosmetics are more style than substance, this is not true for Touche Eclat, which is more than a side-project for a major fashion house.
This product works as both a concealer, covering dark under-eye circles and as a highlighter, to accent areas such as cheekbones. The reason why it works so well is that it contains light reflecting particles with give your skin a natural, radiant glow, whereas other concealers and cover-ups effectively just ...
Advantages: great concealer, perfect for all skin tone, balances complexion Disadvantages: pricey, but lasts a long time

It is now a crucial member of my make-up bag and I really couldn't do ...
Advantages: none Disadvantages: over priced, poor quality
I have used L'oreals touche magique concealer for many years, but decided to try YvesSaintLaurent Touche Eclat Highlighter as a lot of people have said how good it is. When I first applied it, it did not seem to cover up dark circles half as good as the concealer I currently use. The packaging and pen its self does look good, it is very easy to apply and does look better compared to not wearing any concealer or highlighter at all.
This product in my opinion is poor value for money, compared to other products on the market, that do a much better job of concealing and highlighting that are half the price. I believe that you are paying for the name rather than the quality of the product. ...
