YSL Touche Éclat Foundation in BD50 Review

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation in BD50 - £29

I have been meaning to do this review for a few months now as I have been really enjoying using this foundation. The YSL Touche Eclat Foundation is a light to medium coverage very dewy foundation which brightens the complexion and gives your skin a lovely glow.

The packaging is really something too - the glass bottle with gold top looks gorgeous on any dressing table and despite being glass is fine for travelling with (for me).

No make-up (Christ!)

Wearing nothing but YSL Touche Eclat Foundation in BD50

The shade is perfect for me, not too dark and not too light, pretty spot on.  You can see from the above photo that the foundation is very dewy and I always like to set it with powder to make sure it lasts longer. I do this with all my foundations as it can wear off on me without. 

Full face done and set with powder!

Despite setting it lightly with powder my skin still looks radiant and the coverage is enough just to even out skin tone and minor blemishes - it did a great job at tackling a scar from a blemish on my cheek which I didn't go over with concealer!

If you like a light to medium foundation with a dewy finish then this one could be for you! It feels really lightweight when I have it on and lasts quite nicely throughout the day.

Have you tried the Touch Eclat foundation?

My Current Make-Up Picks

 (From L - R)

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Natural Tan - I love this concealer for covering up any redness or blemishes as it doesn't accentuate any dry areas, the creamy texture is comfortable and sets nicely with powder.

MAC Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel - If you want to know how I've been using this product then see my most recent review here.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW25 - I rediscovered this concealer recently and I bloomin' LOVE it. It lasts all day. I use it under the eyes and I really recommend if you have trouble with concealers fading.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation in BD50 - I am really enjoying this foundation at the moment and have a review coming for it soon so keep an eye out!

Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder - I've been liking this for setting my make-up but mostly my under-eye concealer work as it has quite a bit of coverage in it itself and the yellow colour helps to brighten darkness. 

Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Colour in Arabesque - A really beautiful shade that I've been really enjoying wearing, it's a peachy pink shade with a creamy colour. Perfect for everyday and looks great with a neutral smokey eye.

MAC Eyeshadow in Espresso (Shades in my custom MAC palette from left-right: Satin Taupe, Naked Lunch, Soba, Espresso) - I've been using Espresso to smoke over my eyeliner to create a smokey but defined outline. I like to use browns on my eyes during the day as they are much less harsh than blacks and don't close up the eye as much.

MAC Pro Stainless Steel Palette - While in MAC Pro recently I picked this up on a whim and I must say it's brilliant and I use it everyday! I always used to pump product onto the back of my hand when applying my make-up which is just unnecessary mess and and some of the product always ends up sinking into your hand which is just a waste. I use this palette to dispense foundation and concealer onto and the finger hole makes it to easy to hold and use. I simply wipe it off with a wet cloth after and I'm all done! (This can only be found in MAC Pro stores and not online, it retails for around £15).

Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Peach Whisper - My favourite blush for everyday, it's a lovely peach colour that makes my cheeks look vibrant and full of life.

MAC Eye Pencil in Coffee - Probably my favourite eye pencil aside from MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy, Coffee is a deep brown colour that is really easy to apply and blends out nicely with a smokey eyeliner brush and some eyeshadow to create a smoked line.

Lancome Hypnose Mascara in 01 Noir - My favourite mascara at the moment! You can see my review on it here.

Illamasqua Brow Cake in Thunder - My brow product of choice for quite some time now, I use it with my MAC 204 and MAC 208 to get perfectly groomed brows. Review here.

Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder in 6 Warm Natural - I always take this powder out with me if I need to touch up during the day. It doesn't cake or look dry no matter how much I re-apply. A real staple for me at the moment, you can see my review on it here.
