Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Touche Eclat Concealer Review

Hey guys !!!!

 YSL is  such a lovely line of cosmetic range and this is my second product from them.I did not purchase this concealer myself.It was a gift from my sister-in-law.I threw away the carton long back,  hence i don't have pictures of the that.Here goes the review...

My view on the product: 


I'm a fan of this product since it works perfectly for me. It is pen type and you should click the button at the bottom of the pen to get the product out .It has a brush applicator which dispenses the right amount of product needed. In addition, it has a wide range of shades to choose from. It is so creamy and glides on the skin .




I have the shade 2 which is also called as Luminous Ivory. I will not say this is the right shade for my skin tone still i love it. Mostly i use this as a highlighter than a concealer. It brightens the skin instantly. This concealer blends in well and gives a flawless finish.I don't have deep dark circles so it gives me the coverage i need.It can also be used to conceal blemishes.It does not make you look cakey.


 
 However, it is not great for concealing deeper dark circles and blemishes.Rather it can be used for brightening and highlighting skin.It contains mineral oil hence it might break out or clog pores for some people. Even though it has wide range of shades, selecting the apt shade could be a problem.





Pros:

  • Creamy and flawless finish.
  • Brightens the skin.
  • Convenient packaging.
  • Trouble-free application.
  • Wide range of shades .

Cons:

  • Too pricy.
  • Not great for concealing deeper dark circles and blemishes.
  • Contains mineral oil.
  • Selecting correct shade can be a problem.

 

Final verdict: 

It may work for some but for many this won't work perfectly.The formula is same as the other concealers.Nothing special , it's just the attractive packaging and the name YSL. That doesn't mean i will not recommend this. Those who need a highlighter and very light concealer can definitely go for this. Moreover it is too pricy for the job it does.For me it works good ... yet it is a NO NO next time.

 

Rating: 3.5/5
