Which shade of Touche Eclat?
      #110986 - 06/05/2008 14:18

Superdrug currently have Touche Eclat for £14.99 which I think is a good price? I've heard so much about it but what shade should I buy? I am fair skinned but very freckly and usually use a medium beige foundation. Your help appreciated.

If Im not mistaken BB, there is only one shade. I think it fits all!!

I bought mine years ago, so I could be wrong, I never use mine it makes my under eyes look really crepey.

Please be careful with this
I used to use it all the time but in the last year myself and many other people on a different website have received a reaction (sore scaly skin under our eyes)
Just thought I would mention that

I've got two, bonnieblooming, no2 and no3. Funnily enough, I was just going to start a thread on whether others thought it was the wonder-cosmetic all the magazines talk about. I'm not sure. I use it occasionally, the paler one under my eyes - it's supposed to reflect the light - and the darker one as a concealer. I normally can't be bothered to use either! I certainly haven't had any adverse reaction though.

If you are fair-skinned, I should think no 1 is best for you. I'm fair-haired but medium skin toned.

Have to say I was disappointed with Touche Eclat - was expecting miracles, but it just made me look a bit 'odd'! Will just live with my dark circles for now!

Me too - seemed to highlight the circles and draw attention to them not conceal them! May not have been applying it properly so asked YSL consultant to show me. On asking my OH to comment, he said " oh your eyes look very pink!" Should have known better than to ask!

I know this is a major cult product but I had exactly the same experience - made my eyes look a lot worse, highlighting dark circles I hadn't even known were there.If I do ever bother with an under eye concealer, I find the Laura Mercier and Bobbbi Brown brightening ones are much better.

I have used this but felt a bit like a panda in reverse. I find the Models Prefer netralizing powder, or the Lily Lolo mineral foundation (powder) far better at hiding dark circles.

Touche Eclat do three shades 1, 2, and 3. Most popular shade No. 2. Super Drug doing No. 3 cheap as quite dark, not very popular colour. I have used for years, also my two daughters, we all use same shade, check out colours in department store and you will see what I mean. I get mine at airport, can generally get twin pack for £34, not as cheap as Super Drug but at least I get colour that I want.

Hi I have used this for over a year now and can't say i think it's as good as the publicity would have us believe. I'm definitely going for a different one when this one runs out!
