![]() 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.
