![]() You can also dust this very lightly with some powder to make it a natural matte texture. See the above natural light Instagram shot for proof! ![]() In every other lighting situation I tested this in, including the all-important natural light, this just looked like a satin-y, natural, skin-like concealer. ![]() But remember that it was photographed with a strong ring light shining directly down on me. Look, I get what you're saying: my undereyes look hella-glossy in that after photo. " Natural?! It looks like you smeared Vaseline on those undereyes!" I'd say this is a very natural, beautiful, just-barely-medium coverage concealer. Instead, I think the name means this is a "high coverage version" of Touche Eclat (versus a traditional, maximum coverage concealer). I don't think that's the purpose of this concealer. Now, the name of this product may make you think this is going to completely blank out your dark circles. However, I tend to wear very thin layers of my base products, I only use this on my undereyes, and I have a sort of small face you may use a whole click if you're covering more surface area or like more coverage. I actually find that a full click of this concealer is a bit much for me, so I just leave the rest on the brush for touch-ups or my next application. One click will get you about twice as much product as you see in the above-middle photo. I love the feeling and the weight of this packaging, and unlike many click tubes, it only takes a few clicks to get the product started. The new High Cover version of Touch Eclat features a nearly identical metal tube and brush tip applicator the only difference is that the High Cover version includes a black label, which is honestly helpful for differentiating between the two tubes quickly. The only other product on my face in these photos is a thin layer of the Surratt Surreal Skin foundation, which, LOOOOL, look at that beautiful application right over my top lip. I'd peg the YSL Touche Eclat High Cover at about NC/NW 15 in terms of depth, and the YSL Touche Eclat All-Over Brightening Pen is maybe half a shade lighter. See, the original Touche Eclat pen darkens up a bit as it dries: it comes out looking almost identical to the very pale NARS Chantilly, but it ends up being about a shade darker. Second, it's closer to the original Touche Eclat pen in 2 than you'd think. First of all, yes, 0.75 is DEFINITELY peach-toned, and it definitely works well on dark circles-more on that in a moment. After receiving several super-helpful comments on Instagram, I decided to go with 0.75 Sugar, since this is clearly meant to be an undereye/brightening concealer, and I knew the peachy tones of 0.75 would work well on my dark circles. I couldn't decide between the lightest shade, 0.5 Vanilla, and the second-lightest shade, 0.75 Sugar. What got me a little stuck was the shade range. From left to right: YSL TE High Cover in 0.75 Sugar, YSL TE Brightening Pen in 2 Luminous Ivory, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly, Glossier Stretch Concealer in G11. Natural light on top, ring light on bottom.
