Have you tried Yves Saint Laurent’s (YSL Beauty) Touche Eclat instant highlighter?
This product is one of YSL’s best-selling products and one of makeup artists’ best-kept secrets - by adding a touch of light under the eyes you can get rid of dark circles and fatigue.
YSL has taken this concept of adding light to the face to the lips and has just come out with Touche Brillance.
Simply put, Touche Brillance does for the lips what Touche Eclat did for the under eyes!
Did I like the new Yves Saint Laurent’s (YSL Beauty) Touche Eclat instant highlighter?
I know there are so many lipgloss options on the market, but I can assure you this new one from Yves Saint Laurent is WELL worth the try. I was quite impressed with this product and I try on so many different products each week that it’s getting harder to be dazzled. Some of the products are good, some are fair, but this YSL Touche Brillance is extraordinary!!!
The light and brilliance it gives to your lips is insane.
My personal favourites are #4 Sparkling Garnet and #15 Truly Red. You’ll quickly notice a few things with this YSL Touche Brillance … the colour saturation is very heavy. That means that you will actually see the shade on your lips and it will last for a very long time. I’ve eaten with the YSL Touche Brillance and the colour was still on my lips!
You will also notice the “brilliance” effect because there is obviously something in the formulation that adds a touch of shimmer to the lips. Nah, I’m not talking about tacky sparkles, I’m talking about kicked-up sophistication for your lips ladies!
A few other things that I quite liked about the YSL Touche Brillance are the facts that it was NOT sticky and there was no strong scent to the product (since I’m allergic to a lot of smells … this is an important feature).
Yves Saint Laurent is the first line of makeup I bought as a teenager because their colours were sooooooo incredibly perfect for darker skin beauties like Iman (aka Mrs. David Bowie). I still wear Yves Saint Laurent, but in recent years (due to the call of duty), I’ve been wearing it here and there in combination with other brands I like.
I know that for some readers the price will be an issue. Yves Saint Laurent makeup in general is much more expensive that other brands. One of the factors is the packaging. YSL has ALWAYS had some of the most beautiful packaging in the industry … and someone has to pay for it. I know you don’t “wear” packaging, but when you combine the quality of the product and the YSL packaging … the price is a bit higher.
To the point of “not wearing packaging” … when I used to whip out a gold plated YSL lipstick or blush or eyeshadow … I used to feel so special. I know it’s only packaging, but there was something about the trademark gold plated YSL that brought that feeling out of you!
I’ve added below a few photos of my lips. The photos will not win any artistic prizes, but I wanted to shot a close enough photo so you could see the intensity of the colour. This might be a gloss, but it goes on and looks like a sheer lipstick (please keep in mind that my lower lip is discoloured in the centre of the lip).
The Touche Brillance collection consists of fifteen shades that all contain a mother-of-pearl finish that gives your lips maximum brilliance - hence the name!
When you have a collection of 15 shades, you are sure to find something for any skin tone.
You can choose from the silvery Pure Diamond … to the dark-red Sparkling Garnet … to a pink-neutral Golden Sand.
The Touche Brilliance, which retails for $29 USD/$35 CAD, is sold at higher-end department stores in the U.S. and at Holt Renfrew in Canada. You can also purchase it online via the YSL Web site.
