I didn’t see a reason to set the primer up for failure but trying to pair it with a water based foundation. As a consequence, I chose silicone based foundations this week. B166500/2) Yves Saint Laurent WebsiteĪs you can see, very high up on the ingredients list you can see our good buddy dimethicone crosspolymer which means that this is definitely a silicone based primer.

PASSIFLORA EDULIS OIL / PASSIFLORA EDULIS SEED OIL. PRUNUS ARMENIACA KERNEL OIL / APRICOT KERNEL OIL. Packed with blur technology, this universal primer provides a subtle, golden shimmer for ultimate luminosity.

It’s enriched with four nourishing oils-corn oil, apricot kernel oil, passiflora oil, and rice bran oil-to leave skin feeling incredibly soft without a greasy residue. Touche Elcat Blur Primer preps skin for foundation application, creating an improved, refined appearance: pores seem to be minimized, skin texture feels smoother, and skin tone is more even. Despite these ventures, I am not all that familiar with the YSL product line. It was only enough product for two uses but it was a fantastic foundation both times I tried it. I also tried a small sample of the Touche Eclat Foundation and really enjoyed it. It was a particularly flattering shade of red and I still dream about it. I think the last use was merely a bare wash of color and a memory. The lipstick in particular I remember using down until there was only a nub left and I had to use a brush to get the last dregs of the pruct out. Now, I have been lucky enough to try a few YSL makeup products before and I really did love them. Luckily, neither occurred and the gold flakes weren’t a concern. I quickly realized that should I be gold and glittery I would just look like a bad extra for a Twilight film. Admittedly, it made me think of the old stories of Incan Kings or priests decorating themselves with gold dust and then diving into sacred lakes. This YSL Primer retails for $52.Īnd I had no desire to go around with gold flakes coating my face. Oddly the gold flakes were also what made me cautions about buying it. It also made me want it, even just to look at. There is just something about gold flakes suspended in a clear medium that just looks amazing.

The links will take you to the site and well lit photos of the full sized bottle so you can see it in all it’s glory if you like. Have you seen the full bottle? I know I have the small sample size pictured here and it really doesn’t do it justice. It is easy to see why they would want to review it. I don’t know if the reviews came out around the product’s release or if it there was a domino effect of reviews and once one person reviewed it everyone decided they had to as well. It was featured on makeup reviews and collections, people reviewed and raved about it. A while back this particular primer seemed to be the darling of everyone. I think everyone and their neighbor knows by this point that I love primers. In the April Macy’s Beauty box there was a sample of the Yves Saint Laurent Touch Eclat Blur primer.
