My face didn’t look oily or shiny and the foundation kept my face looking natural and skin like. I had the foundation on for about 12 hours and it wore well during the day. I will be testing out other primers to see how they perform with this too. I used MAC’s Strobe Cream as a primer underneath and I didn’t find my face looked too glowy – it was a radiant, healthy glow which again is what I like. The colour doesn’t oxidise after application and other makeup sits nicely on top. I’d say initially the coverage with one layer is light-medium which I like but you can build up coverage if you desire. The foundation doesn’t feel heavy and glides over the skin. Product will stay on the back of your hand between blending out layers. The foundation is a nice consistency, it’s not thick and it’s not runny. The brush did soak up some of the product but I was still able to use the brush to really buff foundation into the skin. This foundation had decent coverage after one layer and did allow me to build up product where I needed to without disturbing the layer underneath. Usually I like to apply one layer of foundation and touch up areas on my cheeks and around my nose if needed. The first time using this foundation my skin was drier than usual as I was getting over a cold but the formula didn’t cling or accentuate any dryness or settle into lines. The foundation blends out seamlessly and it’s not easy to detect where foundation stops and skin starts. Foundation didn’t drag or apply in streaks and felt silky smooth when being blended/buffed. I used a clean Zoeva 102 Silk Finish brush to apply the foundation and product felt lightweight and easy to blend into the skin. I wasn’t able to wear bronzer with NW13 but I think I will be able to get away with bronzer with this YSL shade. When this foundation arrived I automatically compared it with the sample of MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid foundation in NW13 and this is a touch lighter which is better. One shade lighter BR 05 Cool Milk, may have worked for me but I wanted a neutral shade for my skin. I selected B10 as I have warmth and coolness in my skin but I am still on the fair end of the colour spectrum. The lower the number following the undertone, the lighter the shade. YSL cater to different undertones similar to MAC B = neutral undertone, BD = golden/yellow undertone and BR = pink undertone. I purchased this foundation online and wasn’t able to swatch or test shades in store before I bought it which is risky but I am pleased to say the shade I purchased is spot on! The Radiance Awakening foundation comes in 30 shades and I purchased the shade B10 Porcelain. I believe this foundation does live up to its claims. I prefer foundation not to lean too matte or too dewy and sit somewhere in the middle. When it comes to foundation I like natural looking coverage that helps even out redness in my skin and product that doesn’t feel thick to apply. Weightless finish – foundation feels and looks invisible on the skin.Improves skin’s brightness and luminosity.Reduces the look of fatigue and creates flawless, buildable coverage.This foundation appealed to me through it’s claims and the fact it is ideal for drier skin types. I purchased YSL’s Touche Éclat Le Teint Radiance Awakening Foundation on a whim after reading a review from a fellow blogger and spending the entire day watching reviews of it on YouTube. Often higher end brands have more shades available to cater to more skintones and the quality of product is better. I’m now starting to think that by investing a little more money into nicer foundation I will be happier with the overall look of my makeup. In the past I haven’t wanted to spend a lot of money on foundation shades that don’t match me as my skin is fairly pale. Up until a short time ago I had never tried a foundation that wasn’t considered drug store. ![]()
