Ysl touche eclat primer8/17/2023 ![]() It was kind of a strange feeling, I'd never looked so airbrushed in my life-in fact, it looked like someone had applied a Photoshop filter to my face in real life-I couldn't believe it.The second wondrous thing that occurred was oil control! Yes, I need it, and this product delivered! Plus, in almost 90 degree weather, it held its own against sweat and whatever else my skin was producing. ![]() So much so, that the very first time I put this on my skin, I sat in awe and looked at myself in the mirror for about five minutes trying to let the fact that my skin looked amazing sink in. While I cannot say this gave me a 'rosy' glow, there's definitely a glow this provides (not luminous like the Primer), and I can say that my skin was visibly more even after using this. This primer made my skin look beyond flawless! It wasn't glittery, or greasy, I didn't break out from it, it added luminance, my skin looked plumper and more even, and my makeup stayed fresh for hours and hours-this primer completely impressed me, and now, I'm not sure what I ever did before it! (Edit: The full-sized version does have a pump! No weird wand like on the sample size I tested!)Ī little goes a long way here, so despite the $52 price tag (for 1 oz.), you should see this product last you quite some time! I really was quite intimidated by the glitter in this, I even avoided trying this product for a couple of weeks while I gleefully used the Blur Perfector instead, but do not be swayed by the glitter. ![]() Your skin will look so soft, and youthful, it's insane! This is a small pet-peeve with this product, and despite the packaging flaw, it is extremely beautiful to look at, and it's equally beautiful on the skin. I've personally just been placing some of the product on the back of my hand, and using my clean fingers to blend it in, but, I think I would have preferred a squeezable tube or bottle with a pump so that the product can stay sealed, and not get potentially contaminated. I'm still not sure I care about the applicator, the silicon wand seems unsanitary if you're supposed to use it to dab product directly onto your face (please don't). The gel formula is pretty light-feeling, but you see its effect immediately. Packed with blur technology, this universal primer provides a subtle, golden shimmer for ultimate luminosity. This product is noncomedogenic, and it’s suitable for all skintypes, including sensitive ones. It’s enriched with four nourishing oils-corn oil, apricot kernel oil, passiflora oil, and rice bran oil-to leave skin feeling incredibly soft without a greasy residue. Here's what it promises: Touche Élcat Blur Primer preps skin for foundation application, creating an improved, refined appearance: pores seem to be minimized, skin texture feels smoother, and skintone is more even. However, I gave this a try anyway, and it didn't make my forehead a reflective surface, on the contrary, it made my face look poreless, and I looked like I had a natural glow! The glitter is really not much cause for concern here, it does leave particles on your skin, but they are quite subtle, and evenly spread out across the areas you apply it, and since the glitter is very fine, you don't see it much until you start turning your head, and it begins to catch the light. ![]() Glitter and oily skin don't mix-discoball head is imminent. It has an odd applicator, and is filled with tiny gold flecks, which I'm sorry, I haven't voluntarily worn glitter on my face since I was eight. Upon first glance, the YSL Blur Primer is kind of a no-go. Well, that sentiment changed tenfold, when I got to try out both the YSL Touch Éclat Blur Perfector, and the Blur Primer, and I'm never looking back.Primers as I've mentioned, can be pretty hit or miss for me-with oily skin, I have found that mattifying primers do the trick for helping to control excess oil, but in exchange for oil control, you also look like you're wearing a mask all of the natural glow is gone, and you're left with a poreless, yet cakey appearance: why is it so hard to have both oil control and luminance? I know that oily skin can be difficult to formulate products for, but, is our fate to forever look like scary porcelain dolls? Maybe not. I was beginning to question if primers were even necessary, or if they were just another product brands produce to make extra money. Recently, I'd all but given up on makeup primers I was tired of not being wowed, or seeing a dramatic difference from when I used them, and when I didn't. ![]()
