Touche Éclat Blur Primer Keep reading to hear my thoughts on if the products held up to the claims! I couldn’t have been more excited to see what they were all about, and as usual, give my honest feedback on the product. YSL recently sent me their new Touche Eclat Blur Primer* and Perfector* in a beauty care package. ![]() Introducing the new Touche Eclat Blur Perfectors! #Flawless… Isn’t that what we all aim to achieve? …Well this latest beauty innovation from Yves Saint Laurent will put your mind at ease with it’s perfecting qualities. You can see all 30 products included in the offer here. YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer, £29.50 (or £19 as part of Beauty Confidential). This means you can get £10 off 30 top sellers at House of Fraser when you buy any other beauty product until 17 April 2015. If you’re thinking of investing in YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer, now is a good time as it’s included in House of Fraser’s Beauty Confidential offer. For me, the performance is what really matters - and I’m very impressed by that. I think you can also see that there is an overall more radiant finish to my skin in this shot. It is there, but I honestly barely notice it under foundation. The sun did come out between these two shots annoying as it changes the light, but on the plus side this highlights how subtle the sparkle looks on my skin. You can see the fine sparkles suspended in the primer - this is a single pump of product, more than enough for my entire face (half a pump is actually enough). This doesn’t affect its performance and I didn’t experience any balling, with those annoying flaky white bits that some primers can produce, just a lovely silky finish. It doesn’t ‘set’ like some primers, but moves slightly when foundation is applied on top. I only need half of my usual single pump of product (I’m still using Clarins True Radiance), which I guess helps justify the price of this product. Personally I would only use this under foundation, which I find applies more evenly on top - and definitely has better lasting power. PRODUCT PERFORMANCE: Touche Éclat Blur Primer does minimise the appearance of pores on my skin and gives a slightly smoother overall look. With the addition of foundation, the effect is even more subtle. If I look very closely, I can catch the odd twinkle, but since most people (thankfully) won’t be looking at me via a magnifying mirror, this isn’t an issue. Like all of the Touche Éclat range, this product is about boosting radiance - and while the sparkles play some part in that, their effect on the skin is much more subtle than I had expected. They appealed to me but I was also a bit nervous about looking like a glitter ball. THE SPARKLES: These sparkles will put some people off and - I imagine - draw even more in. As the name suggests, this is designed to blur pores and fine lines, even skin tone and prime skin for makeup, helping it last longer. Add a little sparkle to the mix and suddenly ‘blurring’ seems positively glamorous! As a long term fan of YSL base products ( Touche Éclat foundation is a personal favourite the highlighting pen not so much), I couldn’t wait to try the new YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer. I’ve reached an age when a bit of a blur is a beautiful thing. ![]()
