Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Radiant Touch 2.5ml in N2 Luminous Ivory is the iconic click-pen brightener that has become a permanent fixture in editors' make-up bags since its launch in 1992. Marketed as a luminising highlighter rather than a coverage concealer, it adds a soft, light-catching glow to the under-eye, cheekbone and brow bone — making the face look more rested, lifted and awake in a couple of strokes.
About Yves Saint Laurent Beauty
Yves Saint Laurent was founded in Paris in 1961 by the couturier of the same name and his partner Pierre Bergé. The beauty division — established in 1978 — is now part of the L'Oréal Luxe group and produces some of modern make-up's most-recognised hero products, including Rouge Pur Couture lipstick, the Black Opium fragrance and Touche Éclat itself.
Key features
- Light-reflecting micro-pigments: Soften the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and shadows by reflecting light rather than masking it.
- Hyaluronic acid: Helps the formula sit comfortably on dry or mature skin without crepiness.
- Vitamin E: Supports the skin's everyday antioxidant defences.
- Calendula & ruscus extracts: Soothing and tone-evening botanicals.
- Click-pen with brush applicator: Precise, controllable dosing — minimal product waste.
Shade — N2 Luminous Ivory
N2 is a light, ivory-toned shade with a soft, neutral undertone. It suits very fair to fair skin and works as both a brightening highlight and a soft under-eye glow without pulling pink or yellow.
Who it's for
Touche Éclat is a brightener, not a full-coverage concealer — best suited to anyone whose under-eye area looks tired or dull rather than heavily pigmented, and to those who want a subtle, light-catching finish on the high points of the face. Particularly useful for mature skin, since the silky texture does not settle into fine lines the way thicker concealers can. A favourite of make-up artists for everyday use, photoshoots and on-the-go touch-ups.
How to use
- On first use, click the base of the pen up to 20 times until the product reaches the brush.
- Sweep a small amount in an inverted "V" shape under each eye, then tap in with a clean fingertip until the strokes blend into the skin.
- Add a little to the inner corner of the eye to open the gaze.
- Highlight the high points of the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, the cupid's bow and the brow bone for a natural-looking lift.
- Apply over moisturiser and SPF, before or after foundation depending on the level of finish you prefer.
