The Perfect Duo - YSL Touche Éclat

Fellow Blogees,

There's nothing better than a good concealer and foundation is there? Something that will attempt to make you look airbrushed on a cold Monday morning, conceal the spots and hide away the dark circles. And all for a reasonable price of course, we don't want a lot do we?!So you can imagine our delight when we discovered YSL Touché Éclat foundation and concealer. Sported by the likes of Jourdan Dunn and Eva Longoria, it's a heavily endorsed product; and rightly so. Some might say its worth it's weight in gold... Like what I did there?


So the first thing to know is whatever your skin tone, there's a wide range of times suitable for every colour on the spectrum. So black, white, pink or polka dotted, you'll be able to get your hands on it. The foundation is heavily moisturising, so great if (like me) you have dry and problematic skin as we talked about in an earlier blog post. It's a great product to blend into the skin, rather than to sit on the surface. It gives great all over coverage, with a creamy almost gel like texture, but malleable enough to blend and manipulate. Also for all the people out there with sensitive skin, fear not. Don't be under the illusion that because this is a little pricey it will be harsh with your face, in fact it's the opposite. You'll be pleased to know that provided you've cleansed, this foundation won't bring about a break out, which I'm sure is as much of a relief to you as it is to me.

Moving onto the concealer, also by YSL. These two are the perfect partnership,they do work in sync. The concealer is great for highlighting to create perfect definition on your face. It also does a good job of covering dark under eye circles, although if they're like panda eyes (again, like mine), you might need a second product as a base.

Both products have a great natural finish, so no worries about a fake bake disaster or a Doritos stained face. It feels expensive, leaving your face with a nice dewy completion. As you go to buy these products, you might want to shop around a little- as they're both a little pricey. However, believe us when we say, they're 100% worth it. They both last forever, so it's an investment purchase. You won't be disappointed either.
