The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat High Cover Concealer excels at both concealing and illuminating, making it a versatile tool for enhancing your complexion. Its light-reflecting properties mean it doesn't just cover; it visibly brightens the skin, creating a refreshed and awake appearance.
First Use: Upon first use, you may need to click the pen several times (up to 10-20 times) for the product to dispense. Once product appears, a few clicks are usually sufficient for each application.
Under-Eye Circles: For brightening and concealing dark circles, apply the product in a small triangle shape under the inner and outer corners of your eye. Gently tap and blend the product into your skin using your ring finger, a damp beauty sponge, or a concealer brush until seamless. Avoid rubbing, which can move the product.
Blemishes & Imperfections: For individual spots, dab a tiny amount directly onto the blemish. Blend the edges lightly with your finger or a small brush, ensuring the center of the blemish retains coverage.
Brightening High Points: To add luminosity, apply a small amount to the bridge of your nose, the center of your forehead, your Cupid's bow, or the brow bone. Blend gently to diffuse the light.
Blending Techniques: For a natural finish, always blend by patting or dabbing rather than swiping. The warmth of your finger can help melt the product into the skin. A damp sponge provides a sheerer, more natural finish, while a brush can offer more controlled placement and coverage.
Setting: For prolonged wear, especially in areas prone to creasing (like under the eyes) or on oily skin, lightly set the concealer with a translucent powder after blending. Apply with a fluffy brush for a soft focus effect.
This concealer is designed to be worn over foundation or directly on moisturized skin, depending on your desired level of coverage and overall look. Its radiant finish means it's less likely to look heavy, even when built up slightly.
Getting started with your Touche Éclat High Cover Concealer is straightforward:
Uncap the Pen: Remove the protective cap from the applicator brush.
Activate: For the very first use, twist the base of the pen clockwise until the product begins to appear on the brush tip. This may take several clicks (10-20). Once activated, a few clicks will be sufficient for subsequent applications.
Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin, perform a small patch test on an inconspicuous area before full facial application to ensure no adverse reactions.
Skin Types: This concealer is generally suitable for most skin types, including normal, dry, combination, and mature skin, due to its luminous finish and non-drying formula. For very oily skin, pairing it with a setting powder is recommended.
Other Products: It integrates well with most liquid and cream foundations, tinted moisturizers, and powders. Apply after liquid/cream foundation but before powder for best results.
Proper care will help maintain product efficacy and hygiene:
Storage: Store the pen in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve its formula.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect the applicator.
Cleaning (Applicator): While the brush is designed to be hygienic, if buildup occurs, you can gently wipe the tip with a clean tissue or a cotton pad lightly dampened with an alcohol-free makeup remover. Avoid submerging the pen in water.
