Touche Éclat Cushion - Makeup

OILY/ COMBO SKIN PLEASE STAY AWAY

PRO: Like glass skin. Packaging is beautiful and classy. CONS: Well, first applied was look amazing (smooth, pore-less, radiant, and most important thing is apply it so fast). Then, after 2 hours.. OMG! it was breaking apart and moving around and shiny like you just applied a heavy layer of oil. For the price, because you know it’s YSL so that’s why it is expensive. *** NO RE FILL (just let ya know) Would I recommend this item for you? Uhmm.. if you are likely to trying things and not worry about the budget, then go for it. But if you are more concern to spend your money wisely, then BIG NO NO.

Great product with one flaw

I absolutely love this foundation for light coverage and skin-like texture. I have used the Touche Eclat pump foundation and find this is lighter coverage than that. I have dry skin and it provides a very natural, dewy finish. I don't need to use a primer or set with powder (although it does work very nicely with finishing powder) and get good longevity. This would be ideal for someone looking for a product to even skin tone or cover light blemishes (I do need to use a concealer for the under-eye area and around my nose due to redness). I can either apply this with a brush (Marc Jacobs The Face II) or a beauty blender. The pad that comes with it doesn't work well for me (uncomfortable to use, messy, leave a streaky finish). I don't think this would work well with flakey skin since it does show dry patches if I don't keep up my skin care regime. The packaging is weighty and comfortable to hold. It's much nicer to take to work or on vacation than a traditional pump foundation and I don't worry about it accidentally breaking if I drop my bag. The finish does show fingerprints but they wipe off easily.I haven't had any leaks whatsoever (and I've carried it around quite a bit). I do worry that it doesn't always properly close since it is hard to tell if the cover is all the way down but a little diligence will keep it from drying out. I did give it 4 stars because it doesn't appear to have a refillable cushion. The packaging is lovely so it's a shame to have so much waste every time I need to replace it. It would be an HG if I could refill it. I would still repurchase it though!
