#Ysl le teint touche eclat skin#
Coverage wise, two pumps of this around my face gave a light/medium coverage, which I surprisingly liked (perfect for the summer) - all my flaws were covered, my skin looked even and it gave such a radiant glow.

Here's the old vs.After applying this foundation with my real techniques sponge, the first thing to impress me was how light-weight this foundation feels - forget that thick cakey "I know I am wearing foundation" feel this was a foundation free experience accept I actually was wearing it (amazing huh?). The glass bottle with a pump and a golden cap remained the same, the only thing that changed is the print. The new version tends to emphasize pores and lines a little more by the end of the day, but it really lasts longer. The old formula fades and breaks down faster, especially on warmer days. It's only logical considering it's less dewy and hydrating. The reformulated version wears better on me than the old one. This is something I only noticed when I wore the old version on one half of my face and the new one on the other. Again, the difference is subtle, but I do find the new formula a little less moisturizing, hence a bit less comfortable. In fact, it might look a little less luminous, due to the slightly matter finish, darker shade, and less hydrating feel. I don't think it makes my face look any more radiant or luminous than the previous version. What about the claims of "Radiance Awakening", now part of the foundation name? Touche Eclat Le Teint has always been a luminous, brightening foundation, and I don't think the new formula is any better in that department, despite the addition of the shimmery particles I mentioned before. Still can't skip the mattifying powder with this new formula! On the other hand, it does get shiny over time, with my T-zone looking quite oily after 5+ hours.

The new formula is a little less dewy when just applied, so that's a plus for me. That was nothing a little bit of mattifying powder couldn't fix, but it really looked quite shiny right after application, setting to a more satiny finish after a few hours on me. The one thing I wasn't so fond of about the original version of Touche Eclat Le Teint was that its finish was a little too dewy for my taste and my skin type. These particles don't translate as shimmer when applied to the face though, so you don't have to worry about a disco ball effect. This is accentuated by the fact that my neck is considerably lighter than my face (I love scarves, what can I do.).īeyond the shade being a smidgen darker and the tone slightly warmer, I also noticed when swatching both on my arm that the new formula contains reflective particles that are visible to the naked eye, when the old version didn't. Right now, as spring has just started, it's a little dark for me in the old formula, and even more noticeably so in the new formula. But it's a bit unfortunate as B40 used to be an absolute perfect match for my summer skin tone.
The difference is subtle enough that no one gave me funny looks when I was wearing both versions together, each on one half of my face. It's a smidgen darker and maybe even slightly warmer. I had the feeling when I first tried the new formula that my shade, B40, ran a little darker than before, and that impression was confirmed when I swatched both side by side. I still prefer to apply it with a brush for a smooth, even finish. It's not as watery as some serum-like foundations, such as Dior Nude Air Serum or even YSL Fusion Ink foundation, but it is light and quite runny. The new Touche Eclat Le Teint is similarly fluid and easy to spread out on the skin. I even wore the previous formula on half of my face and the new one on the other a few times to compare them thoroughly! Here are my thoughts: I alternated between the new and the old every day for a little while. To find out, I got a sample in the same shade I wear in the "old" formula, B40, and tested it out for a couple of weeks. Is it really going to be an upgrade, or is it never going to feel the same? I felt like a kid who sees someone take away their favorite toy to fix it, or replace it with something newer. But it could also ruin my newly found foundation love. I had only just discovered my favorite foundation ever in Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Le Teint for less than a year when I heard that YSL was about to come up with a reformulation.
