This comprehensive review delves into my experiences with Yves Saint Laurent's reformulated Touche Éclat All-Over Brightening Foundation, specifically in shade BR20. While the iconic Touche Éclat has long been a staple in many makeup bags as a radiant concealer, the foundation iteration promises a similar luminous finish with buildable coverage. This review will not only explore my personal experience with BR20 but also act as a guide to navigating the YSL Touche Éclat shade range, addressing common queries regarding shade selection and comparison with the original Touche Éclat concealer.
YSL Touche Éclat Foundation Review: BR20 and Beyond
My skin type is combination, leaning slightly oily in my T-zone. I generally prefer medium coverage with a natural, radiant finish, and I'm often drawn to foundations that offer a blurring effect. BR20, described as a "medium beige," seemed like a promising match based on online swatches and reviews. However, finding the perfect shade match can be a challenge, and the YSL Touche Éclat foundation, with its diverse shade range, necessitates a careful consideration of undertones and depth.
Upon first application, the texture of the YSL Touche Éclat foundation was immediately impressive. It’s lightweight yet feels luxurious on the skin, gliding on smoothly without any drag or cakeyness. The pump dispenser is a thoughtful addition, ensuring precise dispensing and preventing wastage. The finish is indeed radiant, as advertised, imparting a healthy glow without appearing overly shiny or glittery. This is a key differentiator from some other luminous foundations that can emphasize texture or look overly dewy.
The coverage is buildable, allowing for flexibility depending on your needs. For everyday wear, a single layer provides a sheer to light coverage, evening out the complexion and subtly concealing minor imperfections. Building up to two layers provided the medium coverage I typically prefer, effectively concealing redness and blemishes while still maintaining a natural look. Beyond two layers, the foundation starts to feel slightly heavier, but it still doesn't look cakey, a testament to its formula.
Throughout the day, the foundation wore exceptionally well. It didn't crease or settle into fine lines, a common concern with many foundations, particularly around the eyes and nose. While my T-zone did require a touch-up with blotting papers after several hours, the overall longevity was impressive, lasting comfortably for 8-10 hours without significant fading or oxidation. This is particularly noteworthy given its luminous finish; many radiant foundations tend to lose their luminosity and become duller as the day progresses.
