YSL Touche Éclat Blur Perfector Review

On Friday evening I was browsing a Boots store and came across a new product from Yves Saint Laurent.

The Touche Éclat Blur Perfector is a balm like powder that is supposed to blur any pores and make your skin appear smoother and clearer. 


Essentially blurring your complexion, this balm acts like a silicone primer would. However this new product is to be used as a final step to your makeup routine, it can also be used as a mattifying touch up throughout the day. 


The balm has a silicone texture as you apply it, which then turns to a completely weightless powder. It is almost difficult to feel it on your skin it is so smooth! 

It comes with a velvet pouch so it can go in your handbag without damaging the beautiful compact. The leather pouch also has a seperate section for the white sponge it comes with, for application.


I used it today after I had completed my usual makeup routine and I was so looking forward to seeing amazing results of blurred and perfected skin! Unfortunately for me, this didn't happen.

What did happen, was as I pressed the sponge lightly across the areas I wanted to be "blurred" my makeup was being taken off! I ended up having to reapply my foundation to my nose...


Also, after about two hours I noticed the area around my mouth the blur Perfector was starting to almost, become more powdery, and it looked awful. It looked like dry skin and really stood out - definitely not blurred! 

This product retails for £31.50 and too be honest, I was expecting much better results and I am disappointed.

I'm going to go to the counter I bought it from and ask for advice with application ~ if I'm still not happy (who wants their makeup being stripped off after they have just applied it!) I will return it.

I will keep you updated via Instagram!!

See you soon!
