My mac ones are still awesome, but the touche eclat, to me at least, makes a huge difference and I’m glad I bought still. I can use it straight as a concealer and it brightens up the cheek bones, bridge of my nose, mouth area, “nose corners”. See?! I usually use Mac, so it was a little different for me, too! But having the touche eclat made such a difference! I always thought I had bad under-eye circles, but obviously I don’t. But it didn’t feel as bad as knowing that the Chanel foundation was 40,95€ for 30 ml and the touche eclat 2.5 ml and 34€. I just bought the chanel bronze universel creme bronzer and the chanel vitalumiere aqua which are my first chanel products. I asked the YSL Counter woman to try it out, we did. I was looking at the touche eclat, always wondering if it really was that good. I had to go buy a perfume for my friend’s birthday and got a chubby stick by Clinique. But then some kind of show (“Cinderella Project”) was on tv, I watched it, one was swearing by YSL touche eclat. I always wanted to, but then I was like: What the ?! It’s 2,5 ml (0.1 oz) and you pay like 34€? What’s wrong with you? I’ve been using Mac’s studio finish and pro longwear concealer and never had a hard time with them. To be honest: I had a hard time buying it. I’m really sorry to hear that for many people it actually doesn’t work. Just wish that it would last ALL day at work without touch ups, but by using the above techniques, I don’t have to touch up as often. Expensive products, but I think the make-up looks nice. To set everything (I have REALLY oily skin) I use “All Nighter” by Urban Decay (this stuff rocks and does not make you break out at all!). I also use it as a highlighter (over light weight foundation such as smashbox high def helath FX foundation, BTW I love this product too) on the outsides of my nose to the outside area of my mouth as a highligher and then the outside of the lips, above the lip (cupids bow?) and below the lip (it knocks off about 5 years off your face). HOWEVER, if you moisturize first, then put just a little of “Stay Don’t Stray” by benefit under your eyes & then YSL Touche Eclat then it looks awesome and stays for some time. □ It’s true if you use it alone it just doesn’t have much staying power or have enough coverage for undereyes. I have dark circles because I have difficulty sleeping at night. YSL Touche Éclat Wild Edition, £25 .Hi! I too heard great things about this product and went ahead and bought it.

To turn a satin eye shadow into a matte one, mix a little powder shadow (you'll need an ultra-fine textured one, so you're safest with a fancy brand like Nars, Mac or YSL) with a dollop of Touche Éclat on the back of your hand, and apply with a brush. Because that's not a very helpful description, either, we thought we'd list a few weird, wonderful and correct uses for the much-loved clicky pen. Touche Eclat is also not strictly a highlighter it's a ' complexion enhancer that delicately places invisible ribbons of light'. The brand assures us it is not an under-eye concealer, yet I can hardly be the only one who's used it as such for years - and very successfully too, I like to think (it does work to blur minor under eye circles, but is not good on pronounced ones).
