I want to buy Yves St laurent's Touche Eclat but not sure how to use it? Any tips/recommendations? Tks?

Answer 1

Sure. Apply the concealer with the wand and then using the wedding ring finger on your hand gentle dab the product so it absorbs into your skin. If you use your index finger (which has more pressure than your third finger) you will be more likely to drag the area when blending the product, which not only will wipe the concealer away, but will also damage the delicate eye area. Look down when applying the product. This is the best position to see your shadows, thus the area you wish to conceal. I also recommend lining your inner lids with a white eyeliner, this brightens up your eyes even more.

Answer 2

Yves St Laurent's Touche Eclat is the best highlighter there is - let me repeat that..high-lighter. Do not do what some women do and use it to conceal spots because it'll highlight them.
You can use it under your eyes, on the outer-corner of the brow-bone under your eyebrows and on your cheekbones. This will help to give a youthful, dewy appearance which'll stop the usual winter 'grey' skin.
If you have a few fine lines you want to conceal, you can mix a small amount with your foundation and apply it to these areas, but do not powder. In fact, don't use powder at all over the top regardless of where you place it.
If you want fuller lips, apply it to your cupids bow in the thinnest line you can imagine (you can use a different brush for this). Touche Eclat may seem expensive, but it'll last you forever and it's extremely versatile.

Answer 3

It really depends on why you want to use it in the first place?? It has a brush at one end and a button at the other to pump the fluid onto the brush which you may already know. Afew pumps is enough and then you simply brush the product onto areas you are trying to conceal. Use the brush to blend the product or your finger tips but without rubbing the product away again. If you are using it for dark circles make sure it isn't too light a colour or you could make them look worse. I think it actually only comes in 2-3 colours and the aim is to reflect light away from that area therefore not making it so noticeable. If you are trying to cover up blemishes ect...Lancome do an excellent long lasting concealer it a tube.

Answer 4

Touche Eclat is best for using under the eyes, those dark circles...
It's not actually a concealer, so don't use on blemishes, as it has a light-reflecting effect...
Apply a few dots under the eyes and blend.
Touche Eclat is very expensive... Don't know if you're in the UK, but Boots No. 7 version is just as good, and much cheaper. It's called Instant Radiance.
Avon have just started doing one too.
Basically, I use that for under eyes only, and Benefit's Boi-ing concealer on blemishes.
Good luck!

Answer 5

I personally I use it under my eyes and anywhere else I think needs a little brightening up. I put some translucent powder all over my face and apply the Touche Eclat afterwards I then blend it in very well. Using it this way means you don't even have to bother with foundation, although I do use highlighter to give my cheekbones and brow bone a radiant look.

There is an instruction sheet that comes with it that gives some ideas on where to put it too.

Answer 6

Love this product!!!! - Have ran out for the last month and as going on holiday soon am going to buy it at the airport.

I put it everywhere there is a blemish or shadow - fab for under the eyes even sides of the nose and fab is you have wee fine lines around the mouth too.

Always use your ring finger (as thats the one with the least pressure) and lightly compress and pat away, never rub!

You will love it am sure!

Answer 7

I have this, but don't think its as great as everyone always seem to think. Just use a very small amount at a time and add more if needed. I usually blend mine in with my foundation brush after I have aplied all my make up. If you put foundation or makeup on the top, it will just cover it up. Don't go using too much though, especially if you're having photos done as it will reflect the light and you will look very strange indeed!

Answer 8

It comes with a brush and you press the button at the top to release the liquid. Just dab it onto the area you want to cover and smooth it in gently with your finger.

Be careful if you apply loads and you are going to have photographs taken as it can sometimes reflect the light off! If having photos taken, always put foundation over the top of it.

Answer 9

Yes! Get the girl to show you at the counter. That's what I did. It's $36, you better know how to use it befor eyou go home lol. Seriously though I dab it under and in the corners or mye eyes and it looks like 8 hours of rest : ) Good luck!

Answer 10

I only ever use it on the inside edge of eyes where they are darkest -it is a highlighter rather than a concealer. Make sure you buy the No.2 colour - 1 is too light and reflects white back. Have you ever seen celebs with that "panda circle" look?
