Touché Éclat foundation anyone?

[BourbonBourbon]

Anyone tried it yet? I am in foundation credit balance due to using BD Tesco Facelift stuff which has a similar effect, but thought I might splash out on this.

it sounds fab

haven't tried it yet as i am skint :( but marking place to see if i can justify buying it :o

I got a sample last weekend and have been using it since, it's pretty sheer, gives a very natural coverage, not overly shiny - me likey and will be investing in a bottle ( disclaimer - I am a foundation whore ).

Is it long-lasting? Or would it slide off my oily face by lunchtime?

Well I have combination skin and have a pretty strenuous job and it seems to last fine on me, I do use translucent powder on my t-zone to set it. I think the finish is meant to be slightly dewy ( which I like very much) but means that it will never have the staying power of something like Doublewear, which made me look like I was wearing a mask.

Is the texture v different? Is meant to be gel-like or summat?

I used it for a year or so and thought it fab, then I got really wrinkly scaly skin under my eyes, and a make up artists suggested i try stopping using the touché éclat, and within a week it was gone. Haven't used it since, now use a benefit one.

I'm not sure if the texture's that different, it's quite a 'thin' liquid, I'd have said but it applies very well despite being quite sheer.

It's v different to the touché éclat pen, which I can't stand.

It's really lovely. Really sheer but buildable and gives a lovely dewy finish. Without primer it lasted about 6 hours so not bad.

Doublewear made me look dead msarse but to be fair I think I bought a shade too light! I definitely need a light-reflecting one so am excited about this. Not that I've tried the undereye stuff.

As a foundation tart have you tried Clarins True Comfort? It was my regular gunk for a light-reflecting visage before shifting affections to Tesco

Double Wear Light.

DOUBLE. WEAR. LIGHT.

Not masking. Lasts.

Does it make you look awake and radiant though? Coverage isn't the be all and endall and that's all DW normal one did for me.

It made me look more awake and more polished without heavy coverage. I don't like cancelling everything out and use heavier concealer for spots and under eyes

No, Bourbon, I've never tried a Clarins foundation, for some reason I've never had the urge, although the list of ones I have used goes ( cough ) Mac, EL Doublewear Light, Doublewear ( shudder), Dior Nude, Shiseido, Illamasqua, Make Up Forever, Kevyn Aucoin, Giorgio Armani,Clinique ( back in the 80s), Chantecaille and By Terry. And a VERY momentary attempt to use Bare Minerals.

In my defence, as that list looks somewhat shameful, I'm very pale and a lot of foundations are too yellow for me.

Ooh which Armani one? I fancy Luminous Silk one.

faints in shock at the sheer magnitude of this idea

Where do I get it? How much is it? What with this and the babyliss big hair eBay win of this morning things can't possibly get better

DW Light is NOTHING like the standard Double Wear. For me, the light is like a mini facelift. I use a weeny amount. It's all that's needed as a long lasting base.

Bingo, Bourbon, Armani Luminous Silk is the very chap. It's one of my current favourites but is Dewy Central. I found the Touché Éclat foundation to be slightly less shiny.

I found the main problem with Doublewear Light ( which I liked about 5 million times more than DW itself ) is that the lightest colour was too dark for me.
