For over 25 years, the iconic illuminating pen Touche Eclat Radiant Touch  by YSL Beauté has removed shadows and delivered eight hours of beauty sleep in a click. Light-generating pigments create a specular reflection, bouncing the light back into the shadow, while soft-focus micro-pigments reflect the light outwards in many angles, creating a homogenous uniformity and a radiant effect. This year, YSL Beauté is launching exciting additions, including Touche Eclat High Cover, a new radiant concealer to bring an extra dose of cover to the complexion.

With key ingredients like vitamin E and ruscus extract, known to fight visible signs of fatigue and boost microcirculation, and four new shades: No 0, No 4, No 6 and No 7, the makeup artists’ iconic tool is even more diverse.

“This is the perfect high coverage concealer yet looking natural and luminous. I use it where it is needed and when it is needed – it is not designed to answer every makeup need, but for when the skin is a little sad and grey or you need a good highlighter with a little camouflage, it is perfect. It is a very gentle way to highlight. And as the Touche Eclat range has grown, there really is a product for every cosmetic need” – Tom Pecheux, Global Beauty Director for YSL Beauté.

TOUCHE ECLAT SHIMMER STICK (EXCLUSIVE TO SEPHORA GCC)

An intense metallic shimmer with the magic light of Touche Eclat, effortlessly blending on face or body. It has a lightweight creamy texture in an easy-to-use stick that gives a uniform glow finish… The Touche Eclat Shimmer Stick is destined to be a makeup artist’s essential.

No 1:  Light Gold – a pale yellow gold for a shimmering highlighter effect

No 2:  Light Rose – a pale pink-tinged gold to give a frosty-pink glow.

No 3:  Rose Gold – a warm rose for a burnished effect.

No 4:  Bronze – a bronze shimmer for hot, gleaming nights.

No 5: Copper – a scintillating red-brown that glimmers beautifully.

“They are fabulous for the day, especially when applied on the décolleté because they highlight a beautiful décolleté or nice looking shoulder bones and you could even use a darker shade as a bronzer.  They are also great to wear on the face, creating the impression of a bigger surface, so perfect on cheekbones or on a small forehead. I’ve even used them on a broad nose, if you apply in a thin vertical line on the bridge of the nose they can be very flattering”, says Tom Pecheux.
