The one thing I wasn't so fond of about the original version of Touche Eclat Le Teint was that its finish was a little too dewy for my taste and my skin type. These particles don't translate as shimmer when applied to the face though, so you don't have to worry about a disco ball effect. This is accentuated by the fact that my neck is considerably lighter than my face (I love scarves, what can I do.).īeyond the shade being a smidgen darker and the tone slightly warmer, I also noticed when swatching both on my arm that the new formula contains reflective particles that are visible to the naked eye, when the old version didn't. Right now, as spring has just started, it's a little dark for me in the old formula, and even more noticeably so in the new formula. But it's a bit unfortunate as B40 used to be an absolute perfect match for my summer skin tone. The difference is subtle enough that no one gave me funny looks when I was wearing both versions together, each on one half of my face. It's a smidgen darker and maybe even slightly warmer. I had the feeling when I first tried the new formula that my shade, B40, ran a little darker than before, and that impression was confirmed when I swatched both side by side. I still prefer to apply it with a brush for a smooth, even finish. It's not as watery as some serum-like foundations, such as Dior Nude Air Serum or even YSL Fusion Ink foundation, but it is light and quite runny. The new Touche Eclat Le Teint is similarly fluid and easy to spread out on the skin. I even wore the previous formula on half of my face and the new one on the other a few times to compare them thoroughly! Here are my thoughts: I alternated between the new and the old every day for a little while. To find out, I got a sample in the same shade I wear in the "old" formula, B40, and tested it out for a couple of weeks. Is it really going to be an upgrade, or is it never going to feel the same? I felt like a kid who sees someone take away their favorite toy to fix it, or replace it with something newer.
But it could also ruin my newly found foundation love. I had only just discovered my favorite foundation ever in Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Le Teint for less than a year when I heard that YSL was about to come up with a reformulation.
