![]() However, it is an oil-free formula so my guess is that it should fare quite well. I cannot say however, how this will fare on oily or combination skin types. I can barely tell I’m wearing foundation! That said, I don’t use very much each time.Īt the end of the day, I do notice a little shine on my nose and cheeks, but because I have drier skin, that is fine by me. When it settles into my skin and sinks in, it almost looks like a second skin on me. ![]() In fact, for me, it feels very comfortable. While I will not say that this is hydrating, the way a moisturiser is hydrating, it does not dry out my skin, nor feel dry as the day wears on. I suppose it depends on your expectations of what a foundation should be. I was however, naturally interested to see how it’d fare on my dry skin. I am not so sure about that as the coverage is higher than that of a tinted moisturiser. I have seen this marketed as a tinted moisturiser as well. We know by now that hyaluronic acid has the capability to grab and retain moisture in skin. The YSL Touche Éclat All-in-one Glow Foundation is also supposed to be hydrating, with an addition of hyaluronic acid in its ingredients. So I think it is to do with how much you use, and your skin type. I have however seen others wearing this, and it can look a bit greasy on them. I am not a big fan of flat, matte foundations, so a little shine on my skin suits me fine. I have dry skin and I like how this adds a little life to it. It just makes your skin look healthy, with a little glow to it. It isn’t however, terribly glowy in a sweaty-oily way either on me. In terms of the glow, I like that it isn’t flat on the skin. ![]() The Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation and Shiseido Synchro Skin foundation are both noticeably more yellow, while the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation is more similar in tone. ![]() You may notice how the shade B10 in this YSL Touche Éclat All-in-one Glow Foundation is a little more pink than its similar shade counterpart in the YSL Le Teint Encre de Peau foundation. But I’m not sure how the other shades fare – there are 12 shades available. I have a fairly neutral skin-tone, with a little more pink in it so the shade is a perfect match for my skin tone. But when you look at the swatch comparison below, you will notice that it is slightly more pink-hued than I expect. I wear the shade B10 which looks quite yellow in the tube, and when squeezed out. You will never get more than a medium coverage. I also do find that using fingers gives me sightly more coverage than when I use a brush (depending on the type of brush I use). In fact, because the texture is so light, and slightly runny, using fingers can even be quicker, and offer a better finish. I have applied it using a brush and using my fingers, and both work well. This isn’t a bad thing, because I do find that it then seems to work better on skin, for a much more natural appearance. I find that it pumps out a slightly creamy texture, but on contact with the warmth of your skin, it seems to “break down” to a slightly watery texture approximating a moisturiser. I find that about half a pump from the tube is quite sufficient to use all over, depending on whether you want a lighter or heavier coverage. In some ways, this reminds me of the IT Cosmetics CC Cream but in a lighter, more natural version. It is certainly one I can see myself travelling with. This makes it very portable, which I like. The YSL Touche Éclat All-in-one Glow Foundation comes in a tube style packaging with a pump. It does say quite a lot, because sometimes, I have to work a little more at a foundation before deciding if it’s something I might like, or if it is something I can just live with. I’ve been wearing this for all of last week since I got hold of it, and I’ve loved it every single time. You might like to know right off, that I like this! □ The YSL Touche Éclat All-in-one Glow Foundation promises a light-medium natural coverage, with a glowy finish and all day hydration. I’d been messing around recently with fuller coverage foundations from NARS and Bobbi Brown, and I felt it was time to dial it back a little. The YSL Touche Éclat All-in-one Glow Foundation is the newest YSL foundation to hit the stores, and one I’d had my eye on for a little while, ever since I stumbled on it online.
