Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Highlighter

Advantages: does the job
Disadvantages: expensive

...Yves Saint Laurent'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, Yves Saint Laurent 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...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Yves Saint Laurent creates a miracle worker

Advantages: great concealer, perfect for all skin tone, balances complexion
Disadvantages: pricey, but lasts a long time

...My sister recommended this product to me and at first I was a bit dubious. I bought the gold pen-like concealer in duty-free - reducing the price to £13. It was very expensive for me, as I usually buy my make-up as cheaply as possible, but I felt it was worth a try. The concealer is an absolute miracle-worker. I have very fair skin and this product is not orange or at all dark for my complexion. It works by reflecting light onto the darker areas of your face (under eye dark circles, odd blemishes, scars etc) and therefore making them appear much lighter and thus less noticable. Having such fair skin, anything a little dark or red really stands out on my face. But after applying the product, my complexion was far more balanced and it had really made a difference. It is now a crucial member of my make-up bag and I really couldn't do...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

the best money can buy, its Yves saint Laurent Touche Eclat!

Advantages: covers and blends well
Disadvantages: it is quite expensive but is worth every penny

...if you have really bad undereye circles and puffy eyes then this product is the one for you. its blends so well that you will even noitice it while also covers everything you want it too. you may think it is quite expensive for what it is but trust me if you want something to do the job right then this undereye conceler is the only one for you. i brought this product about 2 years ago, and i admit i was a bit skeptical at first because of how pricey it was. i thought would it be worth that amount of money for just that one conceler when i could get one at boots for 5 pound that gave me average coverage, but how wrong i was. this product may be more money than any other conceler on the high street but is gives 10 times more coverage than any rimmel or loreal conceler every could. i always buy this product and i recommend it to...

Who gave you those black eyes...

Advantages: Works wonders on problem skin, great consistency, suits nearly everyone's skin tone
Disadvantages: Pricey

...Recently, in the hectic return to university, I've been burning the candle at both ends a bit and it's begun to play havoc with my complexion. Huge red spots appearing all over my face and dark circles under my eyes which make me look as if I've been in a fight and lost! Rather unfairly, none of my friends seem to suffer from their equally busy lifestyle in the same way as me at all! Ah, such is life! However, there is one product that remains my lifesaver in such times of need and that is my Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch to us plebs!). It claims to "add highlight, refresh your make-up and brighten your complexion" as well as offsetting the complexion's dulling tendencies and creating a natural glow". This fabulous product is renowned among beauty experts everywhere as being the best concealer around. It originally...

The eyes have it

Advantages: amazing results, lasts ages, great for tired mums
Disadvantages: Price

...Just like any other new mum out there I have been blessed with dark circles under my eyes and a pasty complexion. That's until I was recently introduced to my new best friend, Touche Eclat by Yves St Laurent. Thanks to this innovative product I no longer look washed out or have the appearance of a walking zombie, but fresh faced and healthy. Since the birth of my son 6 months ago, I have tried countless other concealers and just about had to admit defeat, until I read about Touche Eclat in my weekly magazine. So whilst in Boots buying the normal hum-drum nappies and baby products I thought it was high-time I treated myself. My eyes just about popped out of my head when the sales consultant at the make-up counter politely said "that's £21.99, please". I've never spent this much on one single make-up product in my life, but...

Goodbye Black Eyes

Advantages: Adds a classy touch to your make up bag
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I have always suffered from dark circles under the eyes, and my eyelids are also quite dark. I got married recently, and, having never been able to cover up these dark areas, I employed a professional make-up artist to make me look beautiful. I was amazed when I looked in the mirror after my first trial, for the first time that I remember I didn't look like I hadn't slept in weeks. The lady told me that she had used YSL Touche Eclat to remove the darkness, and, following the wedding, I bought some. Buying this wonder product is not easy, as I prefer to buy online and it is difficult to find online, but I did, and after about a month's wait due to stock problems, the wonderous gold tube arrived, to much delight. The product is very nicely packaged, and inside the chic box you will find a classy looking gold tube with a brush...

Get Rid Of Those Under Eye Circles

Advantages: See op
Disadvantages: None

...Radiant Touch is a must for every make-up bag. It’s really good for concealing under eye circles even if you have had no sleep. It comes in a gold pen style tube with a brush applicator and a black click down button on the end of the pen, the click down button is used to dispense some consealer on to the brush. You apply this to the edge of the dark circle and blend upwards until there is no visible dark line. The consealer is light reflecting so it brightens the whole eye area. It’s light and creamy and dries to a powder finish. It’s also good for lightening shadows around the nose and in the crease of the chin, another tip is to apply it around the top lip and blend to crate a pouter lip. Although it’s not designed to cover blemishes it works really well on small pimples and fading scars...

Yves Saint Laurent Exfoliator

Advantages: I like the look of the tube
Disadvantages: It didn't exfoliate my skin, expensive

...I bought some Yves Saint Laurent products a while ago and I got this 'YSL Instant Pure Natural Action Exfoliator' for free. The tube I got was a 15ml sample size. It looks exactly like the larger tube, just in a smaller size. The tube is a really simple design. It is made from quite rubbery, see through white plastic which is really easy to squeeze and makes it easy to get the liquid out. At the top of the tube it has 'INSTANT PUR' in black letters and then it has the name of the exfoliator in French, and then in English 'Natural Action Exfoliator Granule Free' and then at the bottom of the tube 'Yves Saint Laurent' The tube has a white plastic screw top, which means that you get it all sticky when you try to close it after you have applied the exfoliator! This particular exfoliator is granule free. For me this kind of ruins...

Goodbye Panda Eyes

Advantages: Hides black rings well
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Having read several reviews extolling the virtues of YSL Radiant Touch, I decided to splash out in the duty free shop and try it for myself. Two hectic weeks of partying had left me looking like a panda and my usual concealer seemed to have lost its effectiveness. It comes in a chic looking gold stick and has a brush as an applicator. To release the concealer you press the black top once or twice depending on the coverage required. The trick after brushing the concealer on is to use your fingers to blend it in (maybe not what the manufacturers had in mind, but I find it much easier than sticking to the brush!) Those black rings are then banished for the rest of the day! Although excellent to use around the eyes I haven't found it quite as effective at hiding spots. I still tend to rely on a heavier concealer for that purpose...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Miracle pen!

Advantages: Uses light reflective technology rather than just covering, high quality, it works!
Disadvantages: Price, they test on animals :(

...Touche Eclat Highlighter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Touche Eclat is probably the most famous highlighter/concealer on the market today, lovingly used by women across the globe to get rid of those nasty dark under-eye circles! The packaging ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of the best parts of the product is its sleek, elegant gold coloured casing. ?Yves Saint Laurent? is written across the tube in elegant italics, and the whole design of the tube is luxurious and high-end. You click the bottom of the tube to start the liquid flow (unlike the screw of many copies) and a little goes a long way. Application is by a soft brush with delicate, feather light bristles. The effect ~~~~~~~~~~~ After first purchasing this highlighter about a year ago I haven?t looked back, religiously wearing it each and every day. However, about...
