Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Touches You Up

From the moment I started reviewing products and writing props I wanted to recognize my all time favorite make-up concealer and instant highlighter.I have waited until now to announce my true love for the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat pen brush, because I wanted to prove my ability to rate items that are wallet friendly. The YSL Touche Eclat pen retails around $40, which I admit is rather steep for a concealer product, but it is worth every dollar! I would give up lunch in a restaurant once a month to pay for it, which is a bold statement.

The Radiant Touch gold pen is filled with a creamy, magical potion that is clicked to dispense from the brush at the end. Just swipe it under your dark circles and you are instantly 16 again. It does not cake or look raccoon-like, and it brightens the applicable areas with ease.

I am sure if American Express had not copyrighted the phrase, “Don’t leave home without it!” the fine French YSL marketing team would have had a winner for the slogan most appropriate to their Touche Eclat sticks. I rarely leave home without touching up under my eyes. The pens last me about 6 months so the cost per use is minimal over time.

I have tried to wean myself to drug store brand concealers without success. Once you have perfection it is impossible to give it up. I have been a fan for years and consider this a secret weapon in my make-up case.
