When it comes to foundations I much prefer a dewy base. I
have a lot of love for Estee Lauder’s matt double wear foundation because of
its longevity and office appropriate durability, but a dewy base is no1 for me,
and its around spring time I look for a lighter coverage foundation to let
my skin breathe a little more as the weather (potentially!?) gets warmer.
I purchased Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclait around
Christmas time with super high hopes. The foundation bottle as with all YSL
packaging is a product of beauty. Its iconic gold lid and delicate gold writing
makes it an appealing little bottle to sit on my dressing table,who doesn’t like
a bit of decadence?! It would be moronic to not mention the inspiration of this
foundation: YSLs touché eclait highlighter which has been a must have product
for many years known for its highlighting properties and this foundation was a
highly anticipated product by many woman all over the world.
I like the gold pump (take note Estee Lauder double wear), I
like YSLs expansive colour range and different selections of colour tones, and
I do think I have a good match to my skin tone. It’s just I haven’t enjoyed this
product as much as I had hoped, having worn it on nights out any sort of camera
flashback gives me a ghostly appearance rather than a glowy one. The foundation
is slightly scented which I could do without and unfortunately it does not last
on my skin for the endurance of my hours in the office and the formula is a bit
runnier than I would like. After a little research I am going to give this a
try applying this with my fingers. I’ve not given up on this foundation as I
think it will fit the bill for a slighter spring/summer foundation, but I am
somewhat underwhelmed. Ive made no secret of my hunt for a Chanel pro lumiere
dupe in the past, and unfortunately this isn’t the one.
