YSL Touche Éclat Foundation
This is probably the most expensive foundation I ever splurged on. But you get exactly what you paid for! I used to use the YSL Touche Eclat Highlighter back then which a lot of you may have already known because this product has so much to rave about. However, I gave up that product after I moved back to Malaysia because it was almost impossible to get that product on hand.. well unless I bought it online which I didn't.
Until one day I watched a lot of youtubers were talking about the release of YSL Touche Eclat Foundation!! The Touche Eclat highlighter itself is amazing, so I really bet with all my heart the foundation must be flawlessly beautiful. I watched one of my fav youtuber, bubzbeauty, where she explained she'd been using the YSL Foundation and it made her complexion looking all gorgeous. She did not have to say it because I can really see it myself. You can watch the video here.
Price:
I got my hands on this YSL Foundation back in November 2013 in Paris since I could not get any of YSL products in either MY/SG/ID that time. It costed me around €50/ IDR700,000/ RM200/ SGD75 I believed. Before I purchased, the lady was helping me to find the perfect colour to match my skin (yess with all the struggles and efforts to communicate, we finally made a deal loll).
Packaging:
It has a clear glass on the body with a gold lid on top that gives a luxurious look. One thing I appreciate the most is that they have a pump bottle design. It is very important for me because it is hygiene, easy to travel with (it doesn't leak easily), manageable (you know how many pumps you need to apply).
Texture, scent and finishing look:
It has a silky light texture. It glides perfectly on your skin, very blend-able and leave a flawless dewy radiant look without being too cakey and shiney. You can build up from medium to high coverage. It has a super light floral scent to the point I can't almost smell it. It caters a whole range of shades from fair to dark, yellow to rose undertone. Or you can go here.
As you can see, my skin looks more polished and healthy after I applied the YSL Foundation. You can spot the biggest difference on my under eye dark circle and fine line at the side of my nose. Yes, you can still see the dark spot due to my acne scars on my chin even after I applied the foundation which I don't mind at all. However, if I want a complete flawless look, I have to touch up with my concealer indeed.
- This is my everyday makeup routine foundation.
- It gives a very natural radiant look and good enough to even out the complexion.
- It lasts me for 1.5 years until now and still counting.
- I use one small pump (almond sized) for the entire face and neck on a daily basis.
- I prefer to apply it with hands over brush.
- I am on the shade BR20 (MAC NC30)
Recommendation:
One of my holy grail products! Highly highly highly recommended if you want to splurge on makeup products. Definitely will repurchase it again.
