“Colours nine and up are divine, not saying the ones below aren’t, but the deeper tones in this product are really beautiful.” “It is for under the eyes.” You can spot the difference in the packaging, with High Coverage sporting a sleek black label down the centre of the wand.Īvailable in 16 shades, Ross particularly raves about the product’s deeper tones. YSL Touche Éclat High Cover “has more of an impact and the tone overall has a more peachy tone to it, so it’s there to colour correct,” says Ross. And this one is formulated to be used like a concealer. In case you missed it, Touche Éclat gained a full coverage sibling last year. Want coverage? That’s where the latest version of Touche Éclat comes in… If you do like using a full coverage foundation, Ross recommends putting Touche Éclat “on the back of your hand and then use a nice light, fluffy brush to massage it and diffuse it, so it melts beautifully into the skin.”īh recommends: QVS Blending Brush and Nude By Nature Blending Brush. Why? “A lot of full coverage foundations these days are self-setting formulas,” says Ross “So sometimes if you stripe straight on top of it, the self-setting formulations try to ‘set’ Touche Éclat, so then when you try to buff her in, it sometimes creates lines and streaks.” “I apply it straight from the wand to the skin and then blend with a finger or brush unless it’s a full coverage foundation.” “I go right from the temple, and then work it in to help really lift the face.” “I would do your foundation, add your bronzer, set your powder, and then go in with the magic touch of light.”Īs for where to apply it, Ross says he uses it from ‘the outside in’. “To me, it’s like putting your shoes on, that final step,” says Ross. Touche Éclat was intended to be used as the ‘final touch’ of any makeup look. Lessons learnt? Touche Éclat is going to draw attention to an area, not camouflage it. “Light brings things forward and dark pushes things back”, he says, so it’s not the product to use for ‘hiding’ things such as dark circles or blemishes. Ross says if you feel like you need concealer, you should apply it first and then go in with Touche Éclat afterwards. You would use her under the eye, but she’s not your concealer.” “She’s your illuminator, she’s here to bring light to the face. “ Touche Éclat was never built to be colour corrective, she was created to add luminosity to the skin,” says Ross. But while applying it to that area isn’t incorrect, it’s the wrong objective. Hands up if you’ve been using Touche Éclat to hide your dark under eye circles? Same.
