The YSL Touche Eclat Illuminating Pen is designed for individuals seeking an instant refresh and a luminous complexion. It excels at brightening and enhancing facial features, providing a fresh, well-rested appearance, and subtly diminishing signs of fatigue. While highly effective for illumination and light coverage, it's important to note that it acts as a brightening pen and not a heavy-duty concealer for full coverage needs.
Instant Illumination: Provides an immediate boost of freshness and light, mimicking the look of 8 hours of sleep.
Fatigue Eraser: Effectively diminishes the appearance of signs of fatigue and dark spots, particularly under-eye circles, around the chin, lip area, and sides of nostrils.

The YSL Touche Eclat Illuminating Pen is celebrated for its ability to deliver an instant 'lit from within' glow. It's best utilized as a complexion enhancer rather than a heavy concealer.
Prime the Pen: For first-time use, click the pen multiple times (up to 10-20 times) until the product dispenses onto the brush tip.
Dispense Product: Click the pen 1-2 times to dispense a small amount of product for each application area.
Targeted Application: Apply directly to areas you wish to illuminate, brighten, or define:
Under-Eye Circles: Dab along the orbital bone, focusing on the inner corner and where shadows are deepest. Blend gently with your fingertip, a brush, or a sponge.
Brow Bone: Apply just under the arch of your eyebrow to lift and define.
Bridge of Nose: A thin line down the center of the nose can make it appear straighter and more defined.
Cupid's Bow: Apply above the center of the upper lip to enhance lip fullness.
Corners of Mouth: Dab around the outer corners of the mouth to lift and brighten.
Sides of Nostrils: Apply to minimize redness or shadows.
Forehead: A small amount in the center of the forehead can add dimension.
Blend Thoroughly: Gently pat or lightly swipe to blend the product into your skin until seamless. Avoid rubbing, which can remove the product.
Quick Morning Brightening: Use on under-eye areas and around the nose for a refreshed look before heading out.
Mid-Day Touch-Up: Reapply to areas that need a lift or to combat signs of fatigue that emerge throughout the day.
Enhancing Makeup: Use over foundation to highlight high points of the face for a more sculpted and luminous finish.
Pre-Event Prep: Apply for an immediate healthy glow, ensuring your complexion looks vibrant for photos and social gatherings.
Upon first use, you will need to activate the pen. Twist the base of the pen repeatedly (approximately 10-20 clicks) until the product begins to saturate the brush tip. Subsequent uses will typically require fewer clicks.
The Touche Eclat Illuminating Pen can be applied over or under foundation and other complexion products.
It works well with various skin types, enhancing natural radiance without settling into fine lines when applied and blended correctly.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect the brush.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Cleaning: If the brush tip appears soiled, gently wipe it with a clean, dry tissue. Avoid using water or harsh cleansers on the brush, as this can affect product integrity and dispensing.
