YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation

Recently, I received a sample bottle of YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation SPF19 PA++ at Selfridges. Inspired by their longstanding bestseller Touche Eclat highlighter, Le Teint Touch Eclat comes in an impressive 22 shades, divided into three undertones: BR for beige rose, B for neutral beige, and BD for beige d'or. Free of opaque powders, the illuminating foundation promises "dimensional radiance" and "weightless perfection", while helping to conceal imperfections to reveal a radiant, dewy and luminous complexion.

The SA matched me to B20, which turned out to be perfect. After trying it out over the past week, I'm sufficiently impressed to consider purchasing it in the future, just not right away as my current stash of foundations is already well into ridiculous territory. The light cream texture melds onto the skin effortlessly for a seamless finish without catching on dry patches. There is sufficient time for blending before it sets to a satin finish. It is also easy to layer on areas where one needs more coverage. It's more of a light to medium coverage foundation, with a separate concealer needed for the under eye areas and more prominent spots.

I also liked how it helped to conceal the appearance of my pores, without feeling suffocatingly heavy or greasy on the skin. Instead of looking like heavy mask-like makeup, it simply helps your skin to look better, more even-toned and healthier. Dewy foundations often turn my skin into a shiny oil rig, but this held up pretty well surprisingly, with my T-zone showing shine after two hours. There was no oxidisation through the course of the day. If you are looking for a foundation with a natural finish and layerable coverage, Le Teint Touche Eclat is well worth considering. It is also reasonably priced for a luxe brand at £28 for 30ml in the UK, just a few quid more than MAC foundations and much less than the whopping £60 for Tom Ford foundations.

On the eyes, I'm wearing Armani Eyes To Kill #28 Red Platine paired with the navy shade from the Addiction Dolly Bird compact (Holiday 2010) and Pixi Endless Silky Pen #1 Black Noir.
