TE in #3 is a peachy color and was the best match for my skintone (F&B C3). I loved this in the beginning because it looked dewy and covered just enough, but after awhile I found it harder to blend and more caky looking. It seems that the product became thicker towards the end, maybe I just got one from an older stock who knows! This is not bad and not great, covers minimal to just enough on good skin though! Would buy it again to throw it in my purse for touch-ups, but I won't because it's to expensive and I finished it quite fast.

This shade happens to be the exact match of my skin, so I can in fact use this as a concealer if I want.

My thoughts on Touche Eclat 3:
-The packaging looks very pretty, but it's always annoying to be guessing how much product you have left...
-I don't think this product will last! I have to click the pen about 3 times every day (per eye) just to get some product out. I'm willing to pay a good amount of money for good quality products, but if I'm going to be hassled into repurchasing every month and constantly running out of product, I'd rather look for something else.
-The texture is creamy yet light, doesn't settle into fine lines, and does brighten up the complexion. The application (once it's already on your face) is a dream!
-The packaging is great for taking on your purse for quick, painless touchups.

I have mixed feelings, I'm not sure I'll repurchase, but it's not a bad product at all.

I purchased the #3 last week...have been using it daily over the YSL foundation. Its not a bad product, it does counteract some of the darkness beneath my eyes, but nothing more than a decent concealor/brightner would do. I noticed that it is not very long wearing, I had to reapply after about 4 hours. I will use it up, but won't repurchase. I just can't justify this price tag with how the product performs.

I was one of the paramount to purchase this products , in a time when it only occurred in 1 shade(number 1 ). Being somewhat tan I was only able to pull off the concealer in the night as it would be too light to wear in daylight. Now they have the concealer in 10 altered shades(AMEN) I have acquired this in shade 3 and also 4.5 now. I sweetheart both of them. The consistency is even, polished. The coverage is upright enough for me, it doesn’t consent u with a concealer mask on rather a more natural glowy appearance. The packing is sophisticated and convenient, feels appealing and exclusive.

This product broke me out. It's not worth the money, because it doesn't cover at all and it even doesn't highlight.

This product is not suitable for oily skin types, because you will shine like the sun after an hour or two.

There are cheaper and better highlighter on the market. Won't buy it again.

I LOVE this product! I remember stealing it from my mums make up bag every time she bought it because I couldnt bare to spend that much money on a highlighter! I think its far too expensive for what it is. Having said that, when I used this I felt like it literally made me glow! I used it to highlight my brow bones, cheek bones and to lightly brush in any dark circles under my eye under or over concealer.

Cons:

If used wrongly over make up it can rub it off.
If used wrongly or not sparingly enough under the eyes, it can exaggerate circles rather than brighten and can crease.

I would not buy this product because it is a highlighter and I feel that I could get highlighters that do their job without spending a ridiculous amount of money to, basically, make my face shine. And I also think that maybe the only reason I love this so much is because I havn't tried any other quality highlighters yet and there has to be better for better value out there.

This has been on my wish list for 2 years! I had watched videos, looked at reviews and tried to dupe it with what I thought it would do because of the price. I know it's not a concealor. I know it's a brightener/highlighter and you know what? I have decided ALL highlighters do the same thing. period. illuminist, high beam, and this overratede hyped up product. I would LOVE to return it to Sephora but there isnt one around me anywhere. I always buy when I go to large cities. When I wrote the Sephora website they said contact the store. Sheesh really? In Atlanta?? I have original packaging, receipt and about 3/4 of it left in #3. Perhaps I got the wrong color because the SA was obviously not knowledged in it since it just came out in their stores. Anyonewanna buy it? lol $20!

An overrated product that did nothing that it claims on me and yes I have been using it correctly. Since I have bought it will just continue to use this over the lips to prep the lips before putting on my lipstick and therefore the one lippie.

I absolutely adore this product, I needed a new concealer, and I've been wanting to try this for a very long time, so I went out bought it. The salesclerk tried no.3 on me, I think it's called light peach, such a pretty name! when I saw the packaging, I just had to have it. It's a glamorous, chic gold tube, so sleek, giving that femme fatale allure! I slip it into my handbag for touchups. Okay so, the product itself is amazing, it doesn't exactly conceal, but it highlihts and brightens up your eyes. It's the kind of concealer you would use if you didn't have dark under eye circles and blemishes (which i don't). It's for those who have dark patches, given that I'm indian, i get dark patches sometimes. It's blends well, it has an ultra-light texture, i wear it without foundation, and i even enhance my lips with it, if you dab some product onto the contour of your lips, and blend it well, you will have the purrfect nude lip look, lush and plump with no imperfections :DDD I'm so buying this again. definitely worth the price

This is a great highlighting product. I have fine line wrinkles under my eye and this product will not sit in the creases. I also have awful dark circles that no make up on earth can help and this helps with brightening the eye are to down play my deformed tear trough.

When I first bought this product, it was in the higher 30's now, it's in the lower 40's range.

I haven't tried other highlighter brands so I would like to compare other products. Although this is a wonderful highlighter, I would switch if I found something comparable and a lower price.

I bought a second tube two days after I bought the first one only because I was so afraid I'd run out of it and it would be out of stock. The effect is amazing. I stopped using any other foundation because this just does it for me. My skin is clear but my pores are big so this concealer adds more radiance and coverage without leaving my face looking too worked up.
It is a bit expensive but definitely worth it.

Amazing product. First product in my life that looks good and doesnt become fuzzy and stay all the day the same way as it was in the morning. Highly recommended. It is not cheap but it is worth.
The whole point is to select your color, the right color will give more brightness to your look. Believe me.

Let me begin with saying ( u have to know how to use this product in order to fully appreciate it's versatility ) I always keep two of these pens on hand just incase I run out or need to go on a trip. Touché éclat is a highlighter Not a concealer. It Has a subtle glow to cause the under eye area to brighten. Always use a shade lighter than your natural color. Melts right into the eye, no crease, lines or heavy feeling. This product it great for : beach days, gym, in a rush, or simply tired . If you have real dark circles no this product won't work alone. Or even at all. I mix this with my concealer from MUFE. The peach tone counteracts with my blue green veins under my eyes and brightens my concealer without adding too much product to the eyes. I use this on every bride in their own shade. Set it with a powder & ur under eye area with look flawless. Also I use this to hightlight under the brown bone, bridge of the nose, and around the lips. (ladies highlighting and countouring) is a step you never want to skip.I do sugguest washing the tip of the brush once a week! The creator & designer of this magical pen now has her own line{ By Terry}.. & she has three pens same concept her concealer is also amazing!! Kim K uses them & I will soon be trying them to see which of her magical pens is the best!!

This is a very good concealer for under eye circles. Scince it has highlighting particles in it, I don't use it on blemishes. It doesn't cover the redness of the belemishes, and they actually get highlighted (something you don't want ;) ).
But I bought it for the undereye circles. It works amazing. It is a very light texture that doesn't leave a layer of concealer on my skin. It lights up my eyes, and even after partying a night long and just two hours of sleep, it makes me look awake.
I bought number three during summer, when I was really tanned. So during winter when I became quite pale, it lost it highlighting effect a little bit (it did highlight, but not as much as on my bronzed skin). So you should take that into consideration when you would like to buy one.
The dosing system is perfect. One click is enough for both eyes. I have it a year now, and it's still not finished, so it also lasts quite a while.
The packaging is simply gorgeous. Classic, gold. Love it.
But...unfortunately the price. It was about 34 euro. Which is a lot of money (especially for a student).
I don't know if I will buy it again. I mean, it works perfect for my undereye circles, but it is so expensive. I guess I will go and look for a cheaper concealer, but if that dissapoints me, I'll probably buy it again.

This is an excellent product. It does exactly what I want it to do and more. It instantly brightens my face. It comes in a range of four colors (I believe, I can't remember) which sounds little but they fit almost everyone. The only downside about this product is that if you have dry patches, it will inhance it. other than that, it's one of the best products I have ever tried. (It doesn't break me out)

This product is amazing. It has been a staple in my daily regime for a while now. It is not a very thick concealer, but it really does brighten up the area. I don't use foundation, just this under my eyes and I feel like there is a noticable difference. Definitely worth a try... you'll love it!

PROS: Very nice as a very subtle highlighter. Not greasy at all! I sometimes use for my dark circles.


CONS: Expensive (have to wait for this as a gift). Too thin for bad circles.


ALTERNATES: For an HE alternate that is possibly even more divine, try Chanel Eclat Lumiere. For a bit of subtle shimmer, Laura Mercier's Secret Brightener.


REMOVAL TIPS: If using this for more than the eyes and you are prone to clogging, you may want to remove this with a cleansing oil before using your regular cleanser.

I have to say that i really like this product. It is worth mentioning that if you are looking for heavier coverage, stay away from this concealer as it is more of a brightener. It doesn't coneal completely but it does make a noticable difference when you apply it to a dark undereye circle as it simply brightens and slightly conceals. I have fine lines under my eyes so it is very difficult to find a concealer that doesn't settle in those lines but this one doesn't (providing you don't use to much and blend it well). I like to dot this on and dab it in with disposable wedge sponge. Although this is quite an expensive product, it does last for a very long time. I have been using mine for over 6 months and i use it everyday!! I don't know how so much product can fit in such a small tube! The packaging is very chique, sleek and feels luxurious...as it should when considering the price! It is a click pen so it's easy to conrol the amount you want to use.
OVERALL, i'd say it provides light coverage, it definately brightens and, if appplied correctly, doesn't settle into fine lines.

A really pretty concealer/brightener concoction in a gold pen. Very pretty. Not exactly a concealer (not much coverage) and not technically a brightener as shade 3 is quite peach toned and deep. Perhaps it would be a brightener for darker skinned people? Anyway, this is a great color to hide under eye circles. The thing I don't really like about the consistency is that it dries really fast. I don't swipe the face like in their instruction videos. I have to do it spot by spot or else it would dry like lines on my face. Anyway, looks very chic and does a decent job. The other shades are also very good (for highlighting, blurring nasal folds, etc).
