Ysl touche eclat primer7/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Glitter and oily skin don't mix-discoball head is imminent. It has an odd applicator, and is filled with tiny gold flecks, which I'm sorry, I haven't voluntarily worn glitter on my face since I was eight. Upon first glance, the YSL Blur Primer is kind of a no-go. Well, that sentiment changed tenfold, when I got to try out both the YSL Touch Éclat Blur Perfector, and the Blur Primer, and I'm never looking back.Primers as I've mentioned, can be pretty hit or miss for me-with oily skin, I have found that mattifying primers do the trick for helping to control excess oil, but in exchange for oil control, you also look like you're wearing a mask all of the natural glow is gone, and you're left with a poreless, yet cakey appearance: why is it so hard to have both oil control and luminance? I know that oily skin can be difficult to formulate products for, but, is our fate to forever look like scary porcelain dolls? Maybe not. I was beginning to question if primers were even necessary, or if they were just another product brands produce to make extra money. I then do mascara and that’s really all that I do.Recently, I'd all but given up on makeup primers I was tired of not being wowed, or seeing a dramatic difference from when I used them, and when I didn't.Sometimes I would do a little bit of eye shadow under my eyes to get more definition but that’s really rare.I LOVE blush!! I just absolutely adore red cheeks it just makes you look healthy doesn’t it?.I need to start wearing it with me, just yesterday Žiga and I went for a walk and he asked me did you break a sweat from just walking, you’re so shiny? Wow!! ![]() Then I use matt fixing compact powder because I really have the shiniest skin ever.I now use a brush, I used to use those blending sponges but I just didn’t like how the concealer was blending in, so I switched to brush and it really makes a huge difference for me! I then apply my concealer and just go over the redness and the dark circles under my eyes.I apply my Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Blur Primer (1 pump and a half).I apply my daily moisturizer which already has SPF.My makeup routine with Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Blur Primer But I really love how the concealer is applying on the primer, it blends really nicely, leaving your skin super soft and radiant! I also forgot to talk about the smell of this, I mean… There’s just not a single bad thing about this one!! It smells like a dream!! I don’t really use any foundation I only use concealer to cover some redness and dark circles under my eyes and that’s really all that I do. I never really invested in pricy makeup just because I never really wear it that much but I took a chance on this one and I never want to go back to the days where this product wasn’t in my life!! When I first used it I said to myself oh, that’s how quality makeup actually feels like haha. When putting it on, I have no words to describe how amazing it actually feels!! It just does something to your skin and I can’t really put my finger on it, but it really feels like it coats the skin to the fullest if that makes sense. Now, I used Primers before but nothing like this, I swear!! First Impressions of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Blur Primer The one thing that made a huge difference for me is definitely this posh Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Blur Primer. I have to say I upgraded some things but my makeup remains minimal. But over the years I actually created my own makeup routine that works for me and I feel the most beautiful with. I always felt extremely uncomfortable wearing too much makeup and wigs install, I don’t know maybe it’s the fact that I’m a redhead and wearing strong makeup on pale skin never was something I was into. I had two roommates when doing a master’s degree, twins actually and they were super into makeup and that’s when my desire to learn more really kicked off. Even when I attended University I always wore just a mascara, nothing much. Some may know this and others don’t, but I never really put any thought into makeup in general, in fact, I first used lipstick and mascara at the end of my high school years which is super late. ![]()
