Anyone tried Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch Highlighter)? Any good?

I'm looking for a really good under-eye/ blemish concealer. Is this one worth the price?|||Touche Eclat is not a concealer, so it won't cover your blemishes, but I find it works really, really well to lighten my dark circles. I also use it to highlight the center of my nose to make it look thinner, my cheekbones to make them look higher, and my lips to make them look fuller. What it's supposed to do (highlight) it does excellently.





For a more general concealer, I highly recommend Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. It's very thick, so it covers blemishes well, and each comes with two colors to blend and match your skin perfectly. It also works well under your eyes (though if you have drier skin, it's best to mix it with eye cream).|||I received this for free a few years ago, when I was 13 or 14, and had no idea what it's purpose was. So I checked out a Yves Saint Laurent counter at Barneys, and the ladies laughed at me and said I was too young to be using it, so I shoved it away. Recently, I re-discovered it, found that it still worked, and tried to use to as a concealer for any blemishes, only to find that it made them even more noticeable. I went to the Barneys counter again, and actually learned that it is meant to be a highlighter, not a concealer. So if you have extremely bad dark circles, it's NOT the product for you. Mild dark circles and small discolorations, I'm sure it'll be wonderful. I just apply it to the bridge of the nose, corner of my eyes, and the top of my brow bones to get a glowy effect. It looks great in pictures and people always comment on my luminous skin when I wear it.





So, if you're looking for a miracle concealer, don't waste your money. It does have cute packaging and I like the smell, but the brush tip can get filled with bacteria quickly. As a highlighter, it's wonderful and makes your face look amazing, but it's not really necessary, on a day-to-day basis.|||I have not tried YSL but if are willing to look into other high end brands, do try Lancome photogenic skin luminating concealer. I am a m.a.c loyalist but this has got to be the one of the best concealer I have tried and trust me, I have tried many many many types.





The lancome concealer goes on from cream to powder like finish upon application. It also contains spf 15 and you dont need to use a lot to conceal. Just a touch and it conceals the darkest of spots.
