If you’re looking for a subtle, slightly brightening concealer that will cancel out your blue eye bags, I’d opt for the YSL version it’s lovely in case you’re not that much of a fan of the whole full coverage thing. Now I do not think these are dupes of each other at all they’re entirely different products. I think this is a lot more brightening than the YSL Touche Eclat, which I prefer over the sheerer coverage YSL brings. It also covers up any redness or blemish you may have by your eyes and of course on any place you wish to put this concealer. The fact that the coverage is quite high and also brightening would make this a lovely undereye concealer as well, covering the undereye bags instead of cancelling them out. The L’Oreal version provides a medium to high coverage, very brightening concealer. It gives off more of a very subtle, more shiny glow with pink tones. The YSL version is obviously very pinky toned, is more on the sheerer side and I think the pink cancels out the blue tones of your undereye bags perfectly in case you would have these, however unfortunately I do not think it is all that brightening, which is supposed to be the purpose of the product. Sorry, sadly enough I wasn’t able to get the undereye swatches- the camera decided to flip out, but it basically comes down to this Now for the actual swatches, you can see the swatches on my hand right here Left: YSL, right: L'Oreal Left: YSL, right: L'Oreal The L’Oreal version only comes in 6 shades, which is less than the YSL one as expected from the drugstore brand. Keep in mind that the YSL version does have a lot of colours, going 1 to 1.5 to 2 etc., and they do not only change colour they also change undertone so you do have a very wide range to choose from. I think the YSL concealer is a lot darker than the L’Oreal one and is closer to my skin colour because of that. The YSL version is very pink-toned, which is good if you have heavy bags under your eyes unfortunately, I do not really get those so I don’t know how it’s going to work out for me. It just comes out as an almost white, slightly skin toned colour which is perfect for me. I have very pale skin and its hard to match an illuminating concealer with my skin shade the L’Oreal concealer is perfect even with my super pale skin. They both have a bristle brush which I think is very great and hygienic, brushes are my favourite applicators.įor the product shades, I got both of them in the shade 1. The packaging is quite similar, yet very different the YSL concealer is a gorgeous shade of gold, comes with a fancy instruction and has a clicker on the back to get the product out whereas the L’Oreal version just has a similarly shaped, white plastic pencil package. Earlier I got me the L’Oreal True Match The Touche Magique anti-fatigue highlighting concealer and then I realised these concealers are quite similar therefore today I’m comparing them both to see if maybe we have got a cheaper drugstore dupe. This pen is great for under the eyes, around blemishes and really gives the skin a lovely look.I heard so many great things about the YSL concealer, so when I had the chance to buy it I had to get it. I honestly wish I had noticed this product (and many more of Topshop’s make up range actually) long before now. “Long wearing concealer to flawlessly disguise dark circles giving an even, seamless finish.” it’s my dupe find of the year so far and it has a firm place within my make up collection. The thing I like most about the Topshop Brighten pen is the extra staying power it has, and the coverage it gives. This product is amazing, it does everything Touche Eclate does (and a bit more in my opinion), but for a fraction of the price. At £25.00 (RRP) a pop it’s not too friendly on the ol’budget at times either so when I tested another brand’s pen with a simialr concept, but for the appealing price of £7.00, I was over the moon with it’s results! I’m now onto my second tube of this concealer, and my interest in slowly dwindling…Touche Eclat has sadly lost its position within my make up case. Light falls in love with the skin, banishing darkness & signs of fatigue and adding instant radiance” The UK’s #1 luxury face makeup product!* For instant light, luminosity and radiance. Touche Eclat has incredible standing within the beauty industry, and it has carried the coveted ‘Cult’ status proudly for a few years now. When I first tried and purchased Yves Saint Laurent Touché Eclat it was after a very loooooong flight and it made my incredibly jet lagged complexion look brand new, so naturally I fell in love with it and I could instantly see why others felt the same.
