The YSL Touche Éclat High Cover Concealer in shade 8 Luminous Espresso is designed for individuals seeking effective coverage for imperfections combined with a radiant, brightening finish. Its key benefit lies in offering both high-level concealing and a luminous touch, enhancing your overall makeup look.

The YSL Touche Éclat High Cover Concealer is a versatile tool for enhancing your complexion. Its unique formulation allows for both targeted concealing and subtle brightening.
For concealing dark circles or blemishes:
Preparation: Ensure your skin is moisturized and primed. Apply foundation if desired.
Application: Click the pen until a small amount of product appears on the brush. Apply directly to the area you wish to conceal, such as under-eye circles, redness around the nose, or individual blemishes.
Blending: Gently tap the product into your skin using your ring finger, a damp beauty sponge, or a small concealer brush. Blend the edges seamlessly into your surrounding skin or foundation. Avoid rubbing, which can remove the product.
Layering: For areas requiring more coverage, allow the first thin layer to set slightly before applying a second, equally thin layer. Build coverage gradually.
For a radiant touch and to brighten shadowy areas:
Under-Eye Brightening: After concealing, you can apply a very thin layer to the inner corner of your eye and along the orbital bone to brighten the eye area.
Facial Contours: Lightly apply along the brow bone, the bridge of the nose, or on the cupid's bow to add subtle luminosity.
Blending: As with concealing, tap or lightly blend the product into the skin until seamless. The goal is to create a natural, lit-from-within glow.
Less is More: Start with a small amount of product; the formula is potent, and you can always add more if needed.
Set for Longevity: If you have oily skin or desire extended wear, lightly set the concealed areas with a translucent setting powder.
Shade Matching: For concealing, choose a shade that closely matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter for brightening. For highlighting, a shade one or two levels lighter than your foundation is typically ideal.
Upon first use, you will need to activate the pen to dispense the product.
Remove Cap: Take off the protective cap.
Click to Prime: Point the brush tip downwards and repeatedly click the bottom of the pen (approximately 10-20 times) until the product begins to flow into the brush bristles. This may take a few clicks on subsequent uses, but usually less.
Ready to Use: Once the product appears, the pen is primed and ready for application.
Skin Types: Generally suitable for most skin types. For very dry skin, ensure adequate moisturizing prior to application to prevent product clinging to dry patches. For oily skin, consider setting with powder.
Makeup Products: Designed to be compatible with various foundations, powders, and other complexion products. It layers well over and under liquid or cream foundations.
Storage: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the brush from drying out and to protect the product. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
Cleaning the Brush: If needed, gently wipe the brush tip with a clean tissue or a cotton pad dampened with a mild makeup brush cleaner. Avoid submerging the entire pen in water or cleaning solutions. Ensure the brush is dry before recapping.
Hygiene: For best hygiene practices, avoid sharing your concealer pen with others.
