Coco Chanel said that only a very self-confident woman can appear in public without makeup. Today, almost every woman is likely to doubt her attractiveness, because meeting a lady on the street without makeup is a rarity.
Beauty cosmetic cult
Not a single woman in the world is ready to save on her beauty. Yes, you can buy inexpensive shoes and a dress from not the best fabric, but cosmetics are exactly the product that you can’t save on. Poor-quality cosmetics not only stay worse and hold poorly - they also age the skin faster and often cause allergic reactions. That is why many women, when buying cosmetics, are ready to give a tidy sum for concealer or corrector for the eyes. We’ll talk about the latter today. And before discussing the pencil itself, a little about the brand that produces it.
Yves saint laurent
Fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, founded in 1962 by a French fashion designer, has been pleasing the world with its products for decades. Yves Saint Laurent produces not only decorative cosmetics and perfumes, but also face and body care products, as well as shoes, clothes, accessories - both women and men, and even jewelry.
A distinctive feature of the brand is the use of natural components and materials. That is why the products are not only quality but also high cost, because of which not all women can afford it. True, the eye corrector Yves Saint Laurent is not in vain considered one of the most popular in the world - even women with low monthly income find funds for it. What is the uniqueness of this cosmetic product? So, let’s take a closer look at the Yves Saint Laurent corrector. Reviews, benefits and composition will be discussed below.
Yves Saint Laurent Touch Eclat Eye Concealer
Elite corrector for the eyes today has gained incredible popularity among the fair sex. It is often copied, but, according to the manufacturer, the properties of the pencil make it absolutely unique.
The need for a corrector almost constantly arises in women - circles under the eyes that arise for various reasons disturb every second girl, but it is very difficult to mask them with inexpensive markers. In this case, you can’t do without an expensive corrector.
The miracle of cosmetic products
Yves Saint Laurent Touch Eclat not only correctly hides imperfections in the form of dark circles and pimples, but also has a therapeutic effect on the skin. It moisturizes and nourishes it, makes it more elastic and tender. Eliminating traces of fatigue, the corrector gives the skin freshness and radiance. The components present in its composition protect the skin from the harmful effects of the surrounding marks. Thus, the Yves Saint Laurent eye corrector is not only a disguise, but also a care. But it is the area around the eyes that is especially in need of it, since the skin quickly becomes thinner and aging.
Corrector "Yves Saint Laurent"
The manufacturer is trying to use harmless and natural ingredients. But usually the list on the label says little to us. Let's try to understand the composition in more detail.
The corrector "Yves Saint Laurent" is based on water, glycerin, cyclomethicone. The latter is not harmful to the skin and serves to dissolve beneficial substances on its surface. Talc also does not carry any harm. Also included are:
- Mineral oil is a refined product that protects the skin from moisture loss. By itself, it is not a skin-friendly product, but is approved for use in cosmetics in the United States and Europe.
- Dimethicone is a silicone that also protects the skin from external harm and gives it elasticity. Since 2003 officially authorized.
- Magnesium sulfate is a drug widely used in medicine.
- Trideceth 3 is a synthetic low security product.
- Polydimethylsiloxane is a cosmetic liquid that is excellent in spreading and is widely used in the cosmetic industry.
- Methylparaben is a synthetic preservative.
- Squalane is a high quality lubricating oil.
- Titanium Dioxide - protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation.
- Mica is a mineral.
- Iron oxide.
- Ultramarine.
- As well as pigments - Berlin glaze, purple manganese, carmine.
In fact, the composition of the corrector, which we have sorted out on the shelves, is quite safe. Of course, chemistry is present in it, silicone substances are especially alarming, but it can not bring harm to the skin. None of the reviews also mention allergic reactions to this pencil or other side effects.
The main task
This corrector is intended primarily for lightening skin areas. It effectively hides the shadows that appear on the face due to fatigue. Thus, the face is completely transformed, it becomes more fresh.
Makeup artists also use it to model the face and eliminate its imperfections - the shape of the eyes, nose and even the oval can be adjusted using light and dark shades. However, at home, girls usually use the Yves Saint Laurent highlighter in order to mask redness on the skin of the face or circles under the eyes. And this tool really does its job 100%. Consider why the corrector was so fond of the girls.
Highlighter Design
Truly royal design and real decoration of cosmetic bags. A pencil in the form of a golden pen with a greenish tint in a package with a brand logo looks expensive and spectacular. The handle is equipped with a soft-touch brush made of artificial material, which allows you to gently apply the product on the desired skin areas. Convenient application format - extrusion occurs through a special button, but some customers complain that they have to press it 10 times. In general, everyone is satisfied with the design of the corrector, and it is not satisfactory.
Reviews for the pencil "Yves Saint Laurent"
It was not possible to meet negative reviews about the pencil on the network - the girls enthusiastically speak about the miracle remedy and constantly replenish its supplies, despite some high cost.
Corrector pencil "Yves Saint Laurent" for the eyes is used for other areas of the skin that need to be fixed. The product conceals pimples, eliminates redness and evens out the tone of the face. He also uses it as a highlighter.
Advantages and disadvantages
We describe the pros and cons of the funds noted in the reviews of girls. First about the good:
- First of all, it should be noted that the pencil fits perfectly on the skin due to its liquid consistency. If properly distributed on the skin, it is completely invisible. True, you can’t apply friable powder over the highlighter, otherwise your face will become blotchy.
- Yves Saint Laurent does not forget pores and does not emphasize wrinkles due to the moisturizing effect, while lower quality products usually dry the already vulnerable skin around the eyes. This is especially pleasing, because we are making so much effort to keep the thin skin of this sensitive area fresh and moisturized. True, in the network you can find mention of the opposite effect - drying the skin under the eyes. This is probably due to the individual perception of the skin, because the highlighter should moisturize it.
- Its resistance is also beyond doubt - the girls confirm that it does not gather in the folds of the skin and does not spread for long hours, even despite the summer time.
- Highlighter can be used not only as a corrector, but also for face correction and as a base for shadows that stay with him for much longer.
- Thanks to reflective particles, the Yves Saint Laurent concealer gives the skin a fresh and rested appearance, hiding imperfections.
- Despite the fact that the funds are often squeezed out more than necessary, it is usually enough for a long time. And since its shelf life is 6 months, a little corrector remains in the pencil.
And now a little about the flaws. The main, and for many, the only drawback is the price. In Ukraine, its cost is 700 UAH and above. Only in the popular make-up cosmetics store Make up you can buy a pencil for 500 UAH, which, of course, is not cheap, but the cost justifies the quality.
In Russia, its average cost is 2700 rubles, but due to frequent shares you can save by buying at a significant discount.
The only thing to consider before buying the Yves Saint Laurent corrector (the photo of which is provided in this article) - it does not have a very dense texture that will “smear” all the imperfections of your skin. An almost weightless, lightweight structure was created in order to refresh the face, even out its tone and somewhat hide imperfections, especially if you did not get enough sleep or are tired at work. But he will not be able to mask too pronounced flaws - very dark circles under the eyes, patches of skin completely covered with pimples, etc. Before buying such an expensive product, this must be taken into account.
Girls who have already used the Yves Saint Laurent proofreader argue that in areas with peeling, he emphasizes this imperfection.
How to use?
The corrector perfectly adapts to the skin and is almost invisible on it. The main thing is to choose the right tone (there are only 4 of them on sale). It is applied to the skin, pre-using the foundation. Since the product contains reflective particles, it is impossible to use it instead of foundation.
The corrector "Yves Saint Laurent" is applied to the area around the eyes (including the area above the eyebrows), which will make your eyes more mysterious and correct the imperfection in the shape of the eyes, in the center of the forehead, on the highest lines of the cheekbones, nose line and center chin. This technique will make your face more expressive and sculptural. A bronzing powder will allow you to adjust the shape of the face.
Conclusion
So, the Yves Saint Laurent correction pencil, which we reviewed today’s reviews, is a quality and often necessary tool for any girl. However, this miracle is not without flaws. However, everything is individual - a pencil fits someone perfectly, others notice that for this cost you can find a better product on the cosmetic market.
