The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen is designed for anyone looking to brighten their complexion, conceal minor imperfections, and reduce signs of fatigue for a refreshed, radiant look. Its key win is the ability to instantly illuminate and revitalize the skin with a convenient, precise application. While highly effective for brightening and subtle concealing, it's important to note that it provides lighter coverage than a traditional full-coverage concealer, making it ideal for highlighting and touch-ups rather than extensive camouflage.

The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen excels at adding strategic light and reducing the appearance of shadows on the face. Its lightweight formula blends seamlessly, making it feel like a second skin. It's not a heavy-duty concealer, but rather a complexion enhancer that focuses on luminosity.
Click to Dispense: On first use, click the pen several times until the product appears on the brush. For subsequent uses, one or two clicks are usually sufficient.
Targeted Application: Apply the product directly to areas you wish to brighten or subtly conceal.
Under-Eye Area: Apply to the inner corner of the eye and along the lower lash line to diminish dark circles and brighten the eye area. Blend gently with your fingertip, a brush, or a sponge.
Brow Bone: Dab along the brow bone and blend upwards for an instant lift.
Cupid's Bow: A small touch on the cupid's bow above the upper lip can make lips appear fuller.
Nasolabial Folds: Lightly apply along the lines from nose to mouth to soften their appearance.
Bridge of the Nose: A thin line down the center of the nose can make it appear straighter and more defined.
Blend Thoroughly: Gently tap or lightly pat the product into your skin until it's seamlessly blended. Avoid rubbing, as this can move the product around or remove it.
Real-World Application: Imagine a busy morning where you need to look refreshed. A few dabs under the eyes and around the mouth with the Touche Éclat pen can instantly brighten your face, making you appear more awake and rested, even without a full face of makeup. It's also perfect for midday touch-ups to refresh your look.
Using the Touche Éclat pen is straightforward. Upon first use, you may need to click the base of the pen multiple times (up to 10-20 clicks) to prime the brush and get the product flowing. Once primed, usually 1-2 clicks are enough for each application.
Skin Types: This illuminating pen is suitable for all skin types, from dry to oily, thanks to its lightweight and blendable formula.
Skin Tones: Shade '9 Luminous Acacia' is designed for specific skin tones. For optimal results, ensure this shade complements your natural complexion. Consider visiting a beauty counter to find your perfect match if unsure about other available shades.
With Other Products: It layers well over foundation and under powder. It can also be used on bare skin for a natural, radiant look.
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 prevent product buildup and ensure hygienic application. Do not wash the brush directly under water, as this can affect the pen's mechanism.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap tightly after use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect the brush.
