Face | YSL Le Teint Touché Éclat Foundation

This must be one of the most eagerly awaited beauty products out there. So when I spotted that YSL would colour match and give you a seven day trial sample of the YSL Le Teint Touché Éclat foundation before the launch I headed straight to my nearest counter the very next day. I was matched to the shade BD20, the assistant asked if I wanted to stay natural or go darker -- I (of course) said natural!

This shade is the perfect colour for my skin and blends seamlessly. There are 22 shades in this foundation which is quite impressive! So if you are thinking of picking this up it is worth heading to a counter to be colour matched.

The formula feels almost weightless on your skin. It does an amazing job of highlighting my face in all the right places and seems to conceal my fine lines without sinking into them. Sometimes I find that foundations can sink into fine lines and draw attention to them --- but not this one! I was honestly impressed with this foundation from the word go. I love how healthy it makes my skin appear. It evens out my skin perfectly without being too heavy. For me this is a great lightweight foundation. So as soon as pay day came round I treated myself to the full sized bottle!

  • Beautiful packaging in the form of a heavy glass bottle with a gold cap -- no cheap plastic here!
  • Free from opaque powders which avoids that 'masked/ cakey' effect that some foundations have.
  • The soft focus gel formula enhances your skin and perfects the appearance. 
  • SPF 19 to protect you from those sun rays.
  • Retails at £28 for 30ml which when you compare to the likes of Chanel is quite reasonable for a high-end foundation. 

You can purchase the YSL Le Teint Touché Éclat Foundation from Debenhams or any YSL counter for £28.

Have you tried this foundation? Let me know what you think!

This foundation made it into my July Favourites.

  6. I went in to be colour matched but the lady at the counter was extremely rude to me. When she held up the little mirror I couldn't evens ee my face in it so tried to move it and she snatched it away before I got to look at the foundation on my face and then had the nerve to ask it I was going to buy anything. I will have to look at it at another counter because I've heard such lovely reviews of it!

    1. That's a shame. I would go to another counter because unfortunately you do get some beauty counter assistants who can be very unhelpful. I used to find that with MAC. It's worth getting a sample because it is a lovely foundation.
