YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Compact

Looking for a powder foundation? Ever considering YSL? Some people only read the latest products review.. The one they called the newest edition, the current launched, the season series etc, that are so collectible so you don't want to miss. But how if we look at the permanent items, the classic piece, that made people repurchasing all over again because of the quality. Now here is one of those.

Few months ago I finished my Chanel Universelle Compacte that I really love (I even already bought back up). From that point I never open new compact and focus on my Clinique Superbalanced, Coty Aispun and Chanel Vitalumiere Loose. Then last month I sold my Coty Airspun (only keep about 35% for baking undereye) and early January I finished my Clinique, I am now happily looking out from my untouched stash and try this YSL Touche Eclat Powder Foundation. Yep like you could guess easily, I bought this like a year ago or so. It was on sale!!! Hahaha... 

The packaging is in gold, like we expect from YSL. There is place to put sponge beside the powder, and it has holes in the bottom so your sponge could breath. It is refillable, so when you finish just buy the refill.

I am actually not a compact foundation fans since most of them getting cakey and patchy on me. I prefer liquid foundation over powder one. And I usually set and finish with light powder for natural finish.

From the picture above, we could see that this powder is like instant brightening agent. B20 is in my comfort range. I always go for 20-30. I wear it directly on my skin without any primer or foundation and the result quite nice.

The texture is so soft and it blends well to my skin and not cakey at all as long as I apply with brush. It has light to medium coverage with a satin finish. It doesn't cover my blemish and my darkspots completely but I don't mind. If you want to get more coverage, just put some liquid foundation or concealer before. It last for 4 hours without foundation and around 6 hours with foundation and does not clog pores.

For application, I like to apply my powder, including compact powder, with brush. Again, for the sake of natural finish. So I could not comment on how the sponge perform, since I never like them.

On the last picture below, I wear Dior Nude Air Serum before apply this powder to increase the coverage. Not completely cover my imperfection since you know that Dior Nude Air is also very light.

You know that I'm all about that glow. So I need to combine with few glowing products to create dewy finish. Lets say, Guerlain Meteorites Compact for finishing. Well, overall I like this powder's performance. It is good enough to repurchase.

Guerlain Meteorites Compact

I think everybody knows Meteorites, Guerlain's signature products.. Everytime Guerlain launch new meteorites , girls gone crazy even they already have previous series already. Yes, we never have enough of them. Same same but different!

While people love Meteorites tins and collect them, they need one for travel companion. Guerlain hear them. They come out with Meteorites Compact which is much more travel friendly but still have the same magic result that we love. 

The packaging is quite heavy and luxurious enough with the magnetic closure, talking about the price. I think I will not buy this if the case is made from plastic or thick paper/cardboard. Lol.. 

I never use compact mirror at home since I always reach for my table mirror, but in this compact I love that Guerlain includes one.

Sorry for the picture. I forget where I save the brand new picture. But you have the idea that this compact is just like the mix of Meteorites balls in a pressed form. No embossing, just colorful.

I don't own the Meteorites Perles in Clair since I only collect the limited editions and feel that I don't need to buy the regular one, so I could not make a comparison between them. 

All I know is Meteorites never fail. This compact gives instant glow but not causing my skin looks oily. Not like some Meteorites series which tend to be highlighter due to the visible shimmer, this compact is wonderful as finishing powder. It is not bold enough as a highlighter.

The glow is so soft and smooth and it only visible where the light touch your skin. I need no effort in strobing or something like that. Smells not as strong as Meteorites in tin if you know what I'm talking about.

The powder is not as soft as the Meteorites balls so you are free to dip your brush in that compact without the fear of excess product applied. This does not change your skin color, so basically you can put as much product as you need until you achieve the glowing looks that you want.

It last for 6 hours before fading. So far it did not clog my pores or make them visible. Fluffy powder or blush brush is perfect for application.
