Has anyone tried the Yves saint laurent touche eclat foundation?

Lunaarli

Wondering what it's like or is it worth the money!

Have never tried it, didn't even know it existed until now but I'd be interested too to hear if its any good, how much is it?

Most Irish beauty blogs have reviewed it by now, haven't read one bad review yet! I haven't posted up a review yet as I'm still trying to figure it out!

My skin doesn't seem to like foundations in general, they always look obvious on my skin and sit in my pores so while this is definitely a beautiful foundation, it still tends to highlights my pores somehow. I gave it to my mam to try and she said the same thing but apart from the two of us, everyone else adores it!

Going to keep at it though and just work out if I need a very light hand to achieve a good result with it!

Love this foundation! I think it gives a fantastic radiance to the skin, without being too shiney. Probably best for normal or dry skin.

If you are having problems with your pores...try using benefits pore professional after you foundation....it has a slight tint in it so doesn't show up over foundation, but fills in the pores

I tried this the other day and it was lovely! Smells great and it leaves your skin feeling really soft. I only tried it on my hand though so I'm not sure about coverage and all that. It costs 55 euros in my local shop though. :eek:

Wow that is some difference! It is €38 in Brown Thomas as far as I can remember. It has a great buildable coverage.

Have it and Peter Thomas Roth's primer which is also amazing for pores but still doesn't work! Got a good facial done so keeping at it to see if that makes a difference!

hmm...really? Did you try it after your foundation? Sort of put loads on to actually fill the holes, it has worked a treat for me with alot of my clients....

I think that must be true, as I've used it for several days with moisturiser, BB Cream, primer, Porefessional and it still ended up shiney very quickly and I looked like I had no make-up on after a couple of hours. But I have oily skin, so maybe I'm just not suited to this foundation.

:eek: is right! Wow that's pricey. Theres no way i could justify spending that amount on foundation no matter how good it is.

Yeah, I know. No matter how nice it smells, it can't be worth that.

I didn't like the smell so much!

Oh no? I thought it was nice, sort of perfumey. I couldn't stop sniffing my hand.

It's cheaper in Brown Thomas.

The review in the latest Glamour is brilliant, I really want to try it. Seems that there is a broad shade range as well (22 I think?) so hopefully will find one to suit.

I think I have the palest shade which is nice although could do with possibly one shade even lighter, one the same as Lancome's Teint Miracle would be fab!

I think if you have good normal skin this will work wonders, just not sure I'm the right candidate for it!

Have you ever used Bobbi Brown? Do you know what shade you are in that? I'm 00 Alabaster so would be looking for similar in the YSL...

Got sent wrong shade in Bobbi Brown, I'd guess I would be alabaster or if you've used skin base I'm 02 in Illamasqua. It's a decent shade but just could be paler and wouldn't suit the very, very pale but would be fine for most! Just Lancome's 007 is definitely paler!

Cool thanks! Will try get a sample eventually!
