![]() ![]() I also think that the slipperiness of it makes foundation glide on nicely on top. I will say it does seem to blur everything and give a luminosity to the skin though. I find it doesn’t sink into my skin at all, it kind of sits on top and doesn’t really dry. It pains me to say this, but this primer falls somewhere in the middle but verging on the latter. I have some primers which are like this that I absolutely love, but I also have some which don’t work well with my oily skin at all. It has a silicone feeling which I find can be hit or miss on my skin. As soon as I bought this, I couldn’t wait to try it. Sounds like it does everything, and it should for almost £30. ![]() It also claims to even the look of skin tone, blur pores and fine lines and helps makeup last longer. Have you ever seen such a beautiful bottle of primer? It has actual little gold specks in it which apparently make the primer light infusing. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Blur Primer | £29.50 | available here Before my brain could catch up, my mouth had asked for one of those to be added to my bag too. I pumped a bit onto my hand and not only was it gorgeously sparkly, it felt silky smooth. Then while the lovely sales assistant was finding it for me, my inner magpie spied the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Blur Primer in all its golden glittery goodness. I headed for the YSL counter and picked out my shade. Jamie Genevieve ( YouTube and Instagram goddess and my number one girl crush) had been raving about the Yves Saint Laurent All Hours foundation for a while and I knew I had to try it. On the negative side, being YSL, this is a luxury product and if you’re budget is tight, it may be that a primer is not the most indispensable thing in your make-up bag and you would prefer to invest more in a good foundation or concealer.I was feeling spendy with Christmas money and headed into Debenhams with one foundation in my sights. Also, it is essential to follow the advice to wait a few seconds before applying foundation to ensure that the foundation glides on easily and lasts longer. However, I would recommend only applying a small amount (less than half a pump for your entire face), where needed as it can feel too greasy if you apply too much. I don’t suffer from break-outs but the primer claims to be noncomedogenic, and suitable for all skintones, including sensitive ones. My skin certainly felt softer and the foundation did glide on very easily. The primer is incredibly easy to apply and the serum-like texture does seem to help to blur imperfections. On the plus side, the packaging is very pretty and the pump bottle ensures that you don’t waste too much product, whilst keeping it hygienic. The formula is also enriched with four nourishing oils-corn oil, apricot kernel oil, passiflora oil, and rice bran oil to hydrate and soften skin. It incorporates ‘blur technology’ to minimise pores and even out skin tone, as well as two light diffusers to reflect and illuminate. ![]() The YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer is a transparent gel primer, which claims to even out the skin tone, blur imperfections and help makeup last longer.

If you remember I already have the Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base by Burberry, which also serves as a primer, so I decided to try the YSL as a primer, and the Burberry, mixed in with my foundation to add a subtle glow and as a highlighter where needed. ![]() If you remember from my first beauty post, I don’t like to spend a lot of time on make-up, although I do like to look as good as I can! Also, I want a very natural result – like me but better! So, any product that makes it into my make-up bag has got to be easy to use but give a great and natural result and so I was very tempted by this illuminating primer which claims to blur imperfections and boost the radiance of foundation.ĭon’t be put off by the gold flecks in this primer, as although they are clearly visible in the bottle, they are not visible on application, which is good news as although I love a bit of sparkle in my clothes from time to time I really don’t want any on my face! Once blended, the shimmer disperses evenly over the face and just gives a subtle glow. ![]()
