The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen excels in providing targeted illumination and a refreshed appearance. It's best applied to areas where light naturally hits the face or where you wish to diminish shadows and dullness.
Under-Eyes: To brighten and reduce the appearance of dark circles, apply a few dots or a light stroke along the orbital bone, blending upwards and outwards with your finger, a brush, or a sponge. Avoid applying too close to the lash line if you have fine lines, as it can sometimes settle.
Brow Bone: Apply a small amount just under the arch of your eyebrow and blend upwards to lift and open the eye area.
Bridge of the Nose: A thin line down the center of the nose, blended well, can create a slimming and illuminating effect.
Cupid's Bow: A dab on the cupid's bow (the 'V' shape above your upper lip) can make lips appear fuller and more defined.
Forehead and Chin: For overall radiance, apply a small amount to the center of the forehead and chin, blending outwards.
Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines): Lightly trace along the deepest part of these lines and blend to soften their appearance.
For optimal results, apply after foundation and concealer (if using), but before setting powder. The pen's formula is lightweight and blends seamlessly into the skin, providing a natural, radiant finish without glitter. Its precision tip allows for controlled application, making it easy to target specific areas.
Upon first use, you may need to prime the pen by clicking the button at the bottom multiple times (up to 10-20 clicks) until the product begins to dispense onto the brush tip. Click slowly and gently to avoid dispensing too much product at once.
Layering: This illuminating pen is designed to be compatible with most makeup products. It can be applied over or under foundation and concealer, depending on your desired effect. For a natural glow, apply it before foundation; for targeted brightening, apply after.
Skin Types: Generally suitable for all skin types due to its lightweight formula. For very dry skin, ensure your skin is well-moisturized before application.
Storage: Store the pen in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain product integrity.
Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the brush tip with a clean tissue to remove any excess product and prevent clogging. Avoid using water or harsh cleansers directly on the brush, as this can affect the formula or the pen mechanism. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent drying out.
