The YSL Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen is celebrated for its ability to create a naturally radiant and awakened look. Here's how to maximize its performance:
Brightening Under-Eyes: For a refreshed look, apply a few dots of the pen to the inner corner of your eye and along the orbital bone, blending gently outwards with your finger or a brush. This brightens dark circles and minimizes shadows.
Highlighting High Points: To enhance your features, apply the pen to the top of your cheekbones, along the brow bone, down the bridge of your nose, and on your cupid's bow. This catches the light beautifully and provides a subtle lift.
Reducing Nasolabial Folds & Mouth Shadows: Apply a thin line along the nasolabial folds or around the corners of your mouth to soften shadows and create a smoother appearance.
Defining Brows: After filling in your eyebrows, apply a small amount just below your brow arch and blend for a clean, lifted effect.
Touch-Ups: Its portable design makes it perfect for quick touch-ups throughout the day to refresh your complexion, particularly around the eyes or wherever you need a boost of radiance. Apply sparingly and blend well for a seamless finish.
First Use: Upon first use, you will need to repeatedly click the button at the bottom of the pen (approximately 10-20 times) until the product appears on the brush tip. For subsequent uses, usually 1-3 clicks are sufficient.
With Skincare: Apply after your moisturizer and primer.
With Foundation: Can be used both under or over liquid or cream foundations. For best results, apply after foundation to target specific areas for brightening and highlighting.
With Powders: If you use setting powder, apply the Touche Éclat first, blend, and then lightly set with powder if desired. Avoid heavy powder over the applied areas to maintain the luminous finish.
Storage: Store the pen with the brush tip facing downwards to ensure product remains at the tip for easy dispensing.
Cleaning the Applicator: Gently wipe the brush tip with a clean tissue after each use if desired, especially if it comes into contact with other makeup products. Do not rinse the brush under water or use harsh cleansers, as this can damage the product mechanism.
