Luxe Hair Conditioning: Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner

· Leave a Comment

 

There are many luxe hair conditioners that make hair soft, shiny and strong but are naturally or artificially fragrant. Unfortunately, there are few unscented conditioners that are also effective, especially for colored hair. If you need fragrance-free hair care, options are limited. We love Allurials Fragrance Free Conditioner, an unscented conditioner containing the quality of natural ingredients found in high-end conditioners including Jojoba, Coconut Oil, Avocado, Argan Oil, Aloe Vera and other natural hair nourishing goodness.

Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner contains a rich cocktail of organic, natural superfood ingredients for hair and scalp

WHY THE NEED FOR UNSCENTED HAIR CARE

The scent of your conditioner lingers on hair, even subtly, after use. This is wonderful if you like the scent, but for those with allergies, or a preference for only using their own perfumed scent, or for whatever reason you or a partner needs your hair to remain fragrance-free, hair care options become limited. Many of the luxe hair conditioners that are highly effective have moderate to heavy scent due to added fragrance or they contain ingredients that have a strong natural aroma. And, some men just want quality hair conditioners without a perfumed scent.

UNSCENTED OPTIONS

It becomes difficult to find quality unscented hair care. While there are some no or low scent hair care products lines amongst drug store brands, many find the only real feature of these products is that they are unscented, they generally are not very hydrating. And a lower price point, they rarely have a meaningful quantity of quality moisturizing ingredients. Even at a higher price point, including amongst brands that are known to be allergy friendly, there are limited options within their fragrance-free haircare.

ALLURIALS FRAGRANCE-FREE HAIR CONDITIONER

Allurials is indeed unscented. Not just devoid of added fragrance, but my fussy nose finds no detectable scent. Suitable for men and women, it is hydrating to hair and scalp with some amazing ingredients

INGREDIENTS

Several Superfoods can be seen in the list of organic and natural ingredients in Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner, providing benefit to both scalp and the hair.

Full of organic and natural ingredients to feed hair

Full of organic and natural ingredients like Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera to feed the hair and scalp

  • Silk Peptides and Pea Peptides aid the structure of the hair. Pea Peptides minimize UV damage to the scalp. Pea Peptides contain Lysine, important for hair growth promotion at the follicular level and sebum production regulation, which decreases with age. Pea Peptides absorb easily.
  • Argan oil when massaged into the scalp aids in stimulating the hair follicles for stimulated hair growth.
  • Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats so it can penetrate the hair follicle. It fills in the cracks and damage to bare spots on the hair shaft, especially on chemically-treated or color-treated hair. Jojoba has a very similar structure to sebum, replacing the natural oils the scalp needs to stay healthy. Jojoba gives elasticity and softness to hair. Jojoba is also a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.
  • Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves texture
  • Coconut oil is extremely popular in hair care, and for good reason. It helps hair retain protein and moisture. Protein loss is what makes hair look damaged. Coconut Oil within a conditioner is easier to wash out than straight Coconut Oil application.
  • Flaxseed Oil is high in Omega-3s, Flaxseed is a superfood for hair. It helps reduce hair loss.
  • Kernel Oil is a deep hair conditioner that is also beneficial for the scalp and is packed with nourishing vitamins for hair.
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice feeds hair with essential nutrients, it also makes hair smooth, soft and shiny. Aloe Vera has a type of enzyme that repairs dead skin cells on the scalp. A healthy scalp means optimal hair growth.
  • Linseed Oil is helpful for hair damaged by environmental factors and styling tools. High in Omega 3s, Linseed helps hair when massaged into the roots of the hair.

Contains natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil and Avocado

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

This is a very thick, creamy conditioner, almost a concentrated consistency like a thick moisturizer but not as thick as a buttercream.

I was excited to see many of the ingredients contained within this conditioner, as they have been successful on my hair when used in DIY hair mask tutorials, such as Coconut Oil. But when used directly on the hair, many of these ingredients are often difficult to rinse out because they are so emollient and oily. However, within this conditioner, I found them to rinse cleanly.

Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner

Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner contains rich organic ingredients like Coconut Oil, Aloe and Avocado but it still rinses away clean with no residue

APPLICATION AND USE

It required less Allurials conditioner to coat my hair than I tend to use with some other brands. And it soaked in quickly.

A dollop of Allurials is all that is needed

A dollop of Allurials is all that is needed

TIP: Rub it between wet palms to fully emulsify it, like you would for a good, thick facial moisturizer like Creme de la Mer.

Then I coated my hair and even my scalp and massaged it into my hair so it could absorb. It made for a good scalp massage. It did not feel as slippery or gooey as conditioners typically feel while in the hair, it felt more like a hair styling cream. It also seemed to sink into my hair instead of staying on the surface.

There really is no scent. Even lots of hypoallergenic brands have a scent, albeit light and non-irritating. I smelled nothing.

Since it was not a slippery coating sitting on the surface of my hair, it was difficult to assess when I considered the conditioner washed out of my hair when rinsing. Because of this, I took a bit longer to rinse out than some conditioners, but it was still much less time to rinse out than when I use any of these natural items directly on my hair, such as washing out Coconut Oil or an Avacado hair mask. It did wash out completely and cleanly however without leaving a residue.

VERDICT:

My hair felt strong and hydrated, even my dry ends felt smoother. My scalp felt good and my hair looked shiny and was soft after use.

Because it is not scented, I can even use Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner in my hair overnight and wash it out in the morning without getting signs of fragrance irritation such as puffy eyes or a sniffly nose. It does not stain my pillowcase.  This makes it also useful as a pre-poo hair treatment and it is creamy enough to stay put as a deep conditioning hair mask if it is combed into hair while exercising or watching a movie.

Suitable for both men and women who want a luxe moisturizing conditioner with no fragrance or scent, Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner provides superfood benefits to the hair and scalp for healthier hair.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer Follow-up: Results after 30 Days Use

· Leave a Comment

Style Chicks previously posted about our experience using Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer, and today we are giving a one month update on the Lordsbury Retinol experience so far.

 

I’ve been using Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer twice a day for about a month now, and my skin’s brighter and the texture has become more refined. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer’s Vitamin C and Retinol combination causes rapid dead skin turnover, and always leaves skin so soft, like after exfoliating. I’m very pleased starting the process of building more collagen. I find my skin to be soft and supple, even with twice a day Retinol use.

KODAK Digital Still Camera

We found Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer to be an emollient yet powerful combination of active and soothing ingredients to refine and rejuvenate skin

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: LORDSBURY Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer VS. OTHER RETINOL CREAMS

If you haven’t used a Retinol product before, or have used a prescription level Retinol but your skin got too dry, red or irritated, then Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer is something to consider.

I’m delighted to find a viable 2.5% pure retinol cream for sensitive skin. I’ve used a prescription 2.5% Retinol before and got red and dry, so I credit Lordsbury’s soothing and hydrating ingredients for tolerating twice a day use, even around the delicate eye area.

The organic ingredients like Jojoba and Shea Butter make it possible for even sensitive skins to tolerate a 2.5% Pure Retinol

The organic ingredients like Jojoba, Aloe Vera, Green Tea, Sunflower Oil and Shea Butter enable even sensitive skins to tolerate this  2.5% Pure Retinol with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins B5 and E. A powerful cocktail of all the beauty all-stars in skincare.

INITIAL STAGES: LORDSBURY Retinol+C CREAM MOISTURIZER WEEK ONE

The surface of the skin feels and looks more refined and even. The combination of Vitamin C and Retinol lead to rapid dead skin turnover, leaving skin soft to the touch, like after a gentle exfoliation. Something I particularly like is that dry skin sloughs off easily when washing my face without tell-tale peeling or redness, and with no flaky skin during the day, my complexion always appears smooth. I’m particularly pleased with how my undereye area is tolerating the Retinol and Vitamin C combo.

EIGHT DAY MARK: PIMPLE PURGE!

About a week or so into daily Retinol use, some people, including myself, break out in whiteheads and blackheads all of a sudden. The purging of clogged pores when starting any Retinol is normal, even prescription Retinol. It lasted a week and then my skin was much less congested than before.  If this happens to you, don’t be discouraged, your skin will briefly breakout while your pores are purging, then suddenly, about a week or so later, skin is clear. I didn’t realize how much sebum and latent clogging I had in my pores, and tiny whitehead type bumps just under the skin surface that came and went all at once.

If you have a problem with acne, over time, Retinol is highly effective in removing the dead skin cells that trap oil, sebum, and bacteria into a pimple. No dead skin cells mean better control over acne after the first few weeks. So if you are an adult acne suffer, just hang in there!

TIP: Don’t start a retinol product only 2-3 weeks before a big event that you want clear, glowing skin. Give yourself 4-5 weeks of Retinol use before an event or photo so the retinol has time to work and leave you blemish-free.

LORDSBURY RETINOL+C CREAM MOISTURIZER DAY 19: VISITING MY DERMATOLOGIST

I saw my Dermatologist about two-thirds through the 30-day Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer update.  I love my derm, she maintains offices on both coasts and tells me about all the latest in prescription skincare and I tell her about my favorite over the counter skin care products.

She walked in and immediately said “What are you using on your skin? It looks great!” and she began to inspect my face.

When I made the appointment months before, I planned to ask for a prescription for Renova, the emollient version of Retinol for my undereye area. But we decided against it because the Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer was working on my undereye area for discoloration, fine lines, and crow’s feet, and I didn’t have any irritation around the eyes that can occur with prescription retinol. She told me exactly where to apply it for best undereye results: follow the line of the orbital bone,  and stay away from the lash line and the bulge under your eye.

Normally my dermatologist will extract any pimples or whiteheads on my appointments, but she said nothing was bad enough to extract, it was better to keep using the Lordsbury Retinol+C on a few whiteheads and they would purge on their own, which in a few weeks, they did. I left her office feeling like a pretty, pretty princess.

DAY 22: USING Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer  TO PREP SKIN TO BE BARE FOR SUMMER

Now that warmer weather is coming, I am focusing on the skin on my shoulders, upper arms, throat, and decolletage as well as my face. These areas respond very quickly, especially in improved texture, discoloration, and fine lines. Areas of sun damage start to improve in texture but will take a bit longer.

TIP: Remember to wear sunscreen anywhere you use Retinol and Vitamin C, even on cloudy days!

DAY 27: Fine Lines and Wrinkles

The fine lines on my under eyes and my eleven lines look smoother to me, more like how I look immediately after an at-home AHA peel. The lines are not gone, but they are not so obvious on bare skin anymore. Collagen production generally takes closer to eight weeks, so I would not expect to see a dramatic lift to my eye area yet, but since I can tolerate this cream around my eyes twice a day, I am hopeful.

DAY 30 The Fine Lines and Wrinkles Around the Eyes

My Crow’s feet look smoother. Collagen production takes at least eight weeks to show, so I don’t expect a visible eye area lift yet. But since I tolerate Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream around the eye so well, I’m hopeful!

FAQ:  HOW DOES Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer COMPARE TO A PRESCRIPTION RETINOL?

I like having Retinol and Vitamin C and moisturizing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid all in one cream. A prescription can give you a 2.5% to 5% retinol dose, the Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer is 2.5% pure retinol, so it is within the range of a prescription dosage.

What is preferable to Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer over prescription retinol is that prescription retinol is very drying, skin gets red and flaky. I like being able to use Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream on delicate skin areas like my eye area, throat, hands, and decolletage. It can be used without irritation or peeling, even around delicate skin areas like the eyes and mouth. The container is also huge, and it only takes a pea size amount to cover my face, two peas for face and throat.

Use pea-size for face, two peas for face and throat

Use pea-size amount for face, two peas for face and throat

If you are a teenager with current acne breakouts, you could likely benefit from a Vitamin C and Retinol combo, as Vitamin C can fade acne scars. Some may just prefer the extra strength Retinol of 5% that is only obtained from a prescription, and the Retinol and Vitamin C for collagen building combo may be less of a concern for teens (for now). If you are in your mid-twenties and older, collagen conservation and collagen production become a beauty goal, and Lordsbury Retinol+C cream moisturizer makes for a very gentle but effective combination of both these beauty-boosting ingredients.

CONCLUSION

That’s the Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer one month report. I’m so pleased especially around the eye area, throat, decolletage, collarbone, and hands. I can’t wait to see in another month when the increased collagen production process starts to visibly show!

FDA Cleared At-Home reVive Acne Treatment LED Light Therapy device

· Leave a Comment

Thought acne was done now that you’re over 21?  Think again.  Adult acne plagues many men and women. Light therapy is effective for quickly treating acne. Non-invasive and pain-free, light therapy is available in spas and dermatologist offices and also in cost-effective devices for at-home use. But not all at-home light therapy devices are created equal. So we’re excited to find the highly effective, FDA-cleared, medical grade ReVive Acne Treatment LED Light Therapy device.

ACNE CAN OCCUR AT ANY AGE

When you’re in your teens, you don’t mind if you dry out your skin with acne creams, skin bounces back. As an adult, battling acne and aging at the same time is daunting. What is worse, the topical products that worked in your teens aren’t that effective on adult acne, and they’re just too drying.

WHAT MAKES REVIVE ACNE LED LIGHT THERAPY DEVICE SUPERIOR TO OTHER AT-HOME DEVICES?

ReVive Acne Treatment LED Light Therapy is a superior LED Light Therapy that’s an FDA-cleared, OTC Class II medical grade device with DPL (Deep Penetrating Light) Technology providing in-office quality results at home. DPL technology sets this device apart from many of the at-home use devices because DPL can get deep into the skin like an in-office treatment does.

reVive Acne Treatment LED Light Therapy Device and goggles

It is proven safe and effective for all skin tones, and in a clinical study, 98% of users had improved acne. I liked this feature because many skin care products cite studies of user reports, which are not as reliable. But reVive cites a clinical study with objective measures of efficacy for their results.

98% of users acne improved

Safe for all skin tones, 98% of study participants in a clinical study demonstrated improved acne and dramatically clearer skin

WHY LIGHT THERAPY FOR ACNE

Light encourages the body to heal. LED Light Therapy has been shown in studies to rapidly reduce acne. Blue light eliminates the bacteria on the skin, even in deeper skin layers, far deeper than can be reached with a washcloth or sonic facial cleansing brush. It’s painless with no side effects and you can continue to use your regular skincare products without a conflict.

WHY REVIVE LED LIGHT THERAPY

Has your acne ever looked better after a day of sun at the beach? All UV light kills bacteria but can cause other skin damage.  ReVive Acne LED Light Therapy uses only the specific wavelength of light that eliminates bacteria, 415 nanometers (non-UV) blue light spectrum, to target bacteria while not harming the skin.

Studies show the precise 415 nm wavelength of light used by the reVive is safe and effective for acne treatment

Studies show this precise 415 nm wavelength of blue light used by the reVive is safe and effective for acne treatment

This wavelength of light attacks acne three ways. It kills acne-causing bacteria, it clears existing breakouts by starving the pimple, and it prevents acne flare-ups by regulating oil production. This quickly leads to clear skin, often within just a few days. It also reduces redness and inflammation, which makes acne so noticeable and difficult to conceal with makeup.

Safe for all skin tones, it will not alter the skin color. It is also safe for sensitive skin, which often has difficulties tolerating over the counter topical acne treatments.

It doesn’t dry the skin like a topical cream. And bonus, the light can enhance collagen production.

Revive is an FDA-cleared, over the counter, class II medical device. Another words, in-office results at home, safely.

RESULTS

My skin performed on cue and a whitehead turned into a full-fledged pimple the day after the reVive device arrived.  It became our test case.

My skin looks brighter after a few uses.

It also quickly reduced the redness and inflammation in existing acne breakouts, which made them immediately easier to cover with concealer.  Normally, my acne stays red and inflamed for the duration of the blemishes’ miserable life, but the reVive removed the red after two sessions. I am very pleased with this since I have a tough time concealing acne very well.  It also shrunk down in size after one session and did not turn into the full-blown pimple disaster my lower cheek pimples typically tend to be.

After one reVive treatment, inflammation and redness was reduced, making it easier to partial hide with some light foundation and powder

Within about a week of daily ReVive Acne Treatment LED Light Therapy device use, my skin appeared much clearer with no major breakouts and even the stubborn blackheads around my nose are diminishing! Clear skin can be obtained with regular use.

CONCLUSION

The ReVive Acne Treatment LED Light Therapy (Clinical) is an FDA-cleared, OTC Class II medical grade device that features dpl® Technology which provides enhanced treatment efficacy, giving you in-office quality results at home in only a few minutes a day. It uses a safe wavelength of light that will not harm the skin and is a truly superior product compared to what is typically made available for at-home use. The large treatment head covers sizable portions of the face at once, bathing the face in blue light to treat existing acne and prevent future acne by killing acne-causing bacteria. ReVive makes acne treatable for any age or gender in the comfort of you own home in just a few minutes a day.

Save Your Skin from Sugar Cravings: Seynani’s Sugar Blocker

· Leave a Comment

 

We’ve all done it: tired, stressed, hangry, over-worked or eating our feelings, we go on a carb or sugar snack binge. What begins as just one or two cookies as a small snack leads to polishing off a bunch. There’s a brief energy rush and then a crash. Want to break the sugar craving habit? Seynani’s Sugar Blocker can help. Seynani’s Sugar Blocker is an all-natural spray that curbs sugar cravings to reduce unhealthy sugar intake.

Senyani Sugar Blocker stops sugar cravings

Seynani’s Sugar Blocker naturally, safely and immediately stops sugar cravings and tastes like peppermint!

THE IMPACT OF SUGAR ON BEAUTY & HEALTH

Sugar-binges don’t just cause an energy crash, they’re a beauty disaster. Overconsumption of sugar results in inflammation which is the big enemy of the skin.

Inflammation causes premature skin aging both by disrupting collagen production and subtly stretching the skin, both result in sagging and wrinkles. In effect, excessive sugar intake can undo some of the progress made by topical anti-aging skin care products. Excessive sugar can disrupt sleep and often results in weight gain.

Some people have increased breakouts when eating too much sugar. Cutting back on sugary foods often leads to better skin and increased energy levels.

But forsaking sugary sweets is not so easy, is it? Even if you’re just trying to drop a few pounds, the sugar habit is a tough one to break.

ABOUT SEYNANI’S SUGAR BLOCKER

Seynani’s Sugar Blocker Oral Spray is an all-natural, gluten-free, Non-GMO, non-stimulant sugar blocker. It works immediately to end a sugar craving and can stop the sugar binge cycle. It works for both natural and artificial sweeteners.

HOW SEYNANI’S SUGAR BLOCKER WORKS

Seynani’s Sugar Blocker works two ways, it blocks the taste buds’ receptors ability to taste sugar, reducing the cyclical craving nature of over-indulging in sugar. It also blocks the absorption of sugar consumed within the intestine. Third, it reduces some of the inflammation sugar causes in the body.

The long-term benefit is by tricking the taste buds not taste the sugar, it ends the sugar craving cycle. Without the sugar in your tasty sugary snack, snacks quickly lose their appeal and the craving for sugar is lost. You might as well be eating something healthy if you can’t taste the sugar. This makes the transition to sugar reduction easier.

How Sensani's Sugar Blocker works

How Seynani’s Sugar Blocker works

SEYNANI’S SUGAR BLOCKER INGREDIENTS

Seynani’s Sugar Blocker contains all natural ingredients:

  • Gymnema Sylvestre Extract comes from a shrubby plant in India and has a variety of medicinal uses. It decreases the absorption of sugar from the intestine and regulates glucose levels in the bloodstream.
  • Peppermint Oil is used for fresher breath and fighting cavities. It’s also an anti-inflammatory that helps fight stress, raise energy levels and elevate a good mood.
  • Holy Basil, A.K.A. Hot Basil, is an anti-oxidant plant from India used in Ayurvedic medicine for stress relief, inflammation reduction as well as a variety of ailments ranging from cold to a headache to diabetes and asthma. Holy basil has a peppery taste that is often used in stir-fry dishes and spicy soups.
Ingredients include Peppermint and Holy Basil

Ingredients include Peppermint and Holy Basil Extract, which has a light peppery taste.

TESTING SEYNANI’S SUGAR BLOCKER

I tend to get late night sugar cravings, and cravings when I am studying or working long hours on a project. So to test out Seynani’s Sugar Blocker, I tried some of my sugary favorites to see if it Seynani’s Sugar Blocker worked on preventing me from feeling like polishing off an entire sleeve of Oreos or a fun size bag of Peanut Butter cups.

DIRECTIONS: Spray Seynani’s Sugar Blocker on the tongue.

SEYNANI’S SUGAR BLOCKER: THE TASTE

The Peppermint is the most detectable ingredient, with a touch of the pepper taste from the hot basil. The result is sort of a less sweet, fresh Peppermint leaf smell and taste, slightly tangy from the pepper, but not hot.

It tastes like Peppermint with a tangy dash of pepper

Seynani’s Sugar Blocker was easy to use while working at my desk and curtailed my absent-minded snacking when on the computer.

SEYNANI’S SUGAR BLOCKER: THE TEST

As it directs, I sprayed Seynani’s Sugar Blocker in my mouth and then tried a few sugary items that are my go-to sugar cravings: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Oreos, ice cream, glazed pastry, and cookies, and for good measure, a very sugary soda, and a diet soda with artificial sweeteners.

Seynani's Sugar Blocker impairs sugar taste buds from tasting sweetness on all kinds of sugary snacks

Seynani’s Sugar Blocker impairs sugar taste buds from tasting sweetness on all kinds of sugary snacks

The results of this experiment were interesting: I was surprised how lackluster and even bad many sugary snacks taste in the absence of being able to taste the sweetness of the sugar. The soda tasted downright awful when I couldn’t taste the whopping 6 teaspoons of sugar per serving it takes to make cola taste good. Seynani’s Sugar Blocker also blocks the artificial sweetener taste in diet soda, which quelled my mid-afternoon slump soda craving. Seynani’s Sugar Blocker makes it much easier to exchange out having a vending machine soda in the afternoon for a healthy cup of green tea for extra energy at work.

Seynani's Sugar Blocker works on natural and artificial sweeteners, such as in diet soda.

Then I tested with my personal sugary Kryptonite: homemade Raspberry Linzer Tarts. To my surprise, while I could normally all but inhale one or more of these confectionery sugar laden almond and raspberry delights in one sitting, I didn’t even feel like finishing my tart once the sugary sweetness was not so detectable.

Senyani's even curbed my craving for my personal favorite, Linzer Tart Cookies!

CONCLUSION

A tasty peppermint flavor with no side effects, Seynani’s Sugar Blocker offers the ability to modify a bad sugar craving habit naturally. It easily fits into a pocket, bag or desk drawer, conveniently keep Seynani’s Sugar Blocker with you when you know you are most likely to succumb to a sugar binge.

What I especially like about Seynani’s Sugar Blocker is an occasional or small sugary treat becomes just that, a treat in moderation, not an unhealthy, skin-aging, weight-gaining, unstoppable sugar fest driven by a sugary craving. Since you take Seynani Sugar Blocker only when you want to, you control how often you enjoy sweet treats and only to the extent you feel is best for your skin, weight, and health needs.

Seynani's Sugar Blocker is all-natural, tasty and easy to use

How to use Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat for Anti-Aging & Face Sculpting

· Leave a Comment

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat is an iconic beauty product. A brightener and anti-aging wonder. But are you using it correctly? Read these tips to find out.

Learn the Secret Hacks for YSL Touche Eclat

Learn the Secret Hacks for YSL Touche Eclat

HOW YSL TOUCHE ECLAT WORKS

Ever watch a makeup artist “age” someone for a movie role?  They add lines of a dark grayish brown darkness to select areas of the face to make it appear sagging, hollowed and haggard.  Touche Eclat can be used to do the opposite by adding peachy light to these same areas. Touche Eclat brightens without being shimmery or glittery.

TOP TIPS ON HOW TO USE YVES SAINT LAURENT TOUCHE ECLAT

Some of my favorite tips include:

  • ANTI-AGING: Subtle signs of aging are excess darkness on some areas of the face, a light application of Touche Eclat counteracts this:
    • Applying a light upside-down “U” shape in the indentation of the chin
    • Applying it under the nostrils where many of us get broken red capillaries, to lift the nose, which tends to droop with age
    • Apply it to the sides of the mouth where they turn down to lift drooping lips
    • At the arch of the eyebrow, blend a dot of Eclat into that highpoint.
    • CONCEAL LAUGH LINES: Smile and draw over the lines with the Eclat. Blend to hide the lines.
  • SMOKEY EYE CLEANUP: If your smokey eye has become too dark, clean it up a bit with some eclat on the highlight section. This cleans up and lightens your look without disturbing that otherwise hard-earned blended smokey look on the rest of the eye.
  • FOR THE UNDEREYE:  If you have little in the way of dark circles, Touche Eclat is enough to brighten under the eye, but if you have something to cover, you will need more than Eclat for actual coverage. I like to use my standard foundation or concealer, and then dab a TINY bit of Eclat on top of that for some brightening. If you brighten the entire circle, there is no natural contour to your undereye, which looks old and weird. But less is more when it comes to undereye Eclat use.

Tips from the Amazing Wayne Goss, YouTube makeup artist

Wayne Goss has an excellent video that explains the dos and don’ts of Touche Eclat and shows how to use Touche Eclat to do the following:

  • SLIM THE NOSE: Draw a vertical stripe down the bridge of your nose makes it appear straighter
  • LIFT THE EYEBROW: Draw a line atop each eyebrow
  • ADD LIGHT: Apply to your lower forehead and feather the product upward to help draw light to your face
  • AWAKEN EYES: A spot in the inner-corner of the eye will make you appear more awake and looks more natural than shimmery white shadow
  • TOP OF THE CHEEKBONE: Just below where you do your concealer, highlight the top of the cheekbone for more light and definition.
  • MAKE LIPSTICK POP: after putting on lipstick, lightly apply Touche Éclat to the outside areas of both your top and bottom lip as well as the cupid’s bow, to pull focus and definition to the mouth
