It’s a simple design and easy to use, although sometimes I over click which ends up in a bit of wastage.
It comes in a stunning gold looking pen, with a brush applicator which clicks to release the product. This product is packaged beautifully and screams luxury. So you can imagine my excitement when I finally got my hands on this. It seemed like everything I wanted, something to brighten my eyes, and highlight points on my face. Seriously, since I first got into beauty. This is a product that had been on my wish list for the longest time. I’m positive I can find something that is more affordable with more product rather than just 2.5ml. I like this product however not enough to say that I would repurchase it. no foundation) mainly under my eyes, bridge of my nose, forehead and chin because it looks as if I almost have a natural even skintone. I like wearing this with minimal makeup (i.e. It’s a bit on the average side of coverage because I can still see my dark circles coming through and it’s no match for my oily lids because the product is pretty much gone by lunch time even when set with powder. The first few times I wore this, I received compliments that I looked refreshed and this was the only thing that was different. What I love about the product is that it’s lightweight, blendable and brightens the areas where I apply it. Like any pen form product it’ll take a number of clicks until the product comes out for the first use but once it does it will only take a click or two going forward.
It can be tricky when trying to put the lid back on. I like that it comes in pen form but sometimes I have an issue when my fingers are slippery from moisturiser/concealer/foundation.
I have the shade 4.5 Luminous Sand which complements my MAC NC42-44 skintone nicely.
For me, this isn’t worth the investment however I can’t say that I have found a dupe that is close to this in terms of the natural brightness it brings to the areas of my face. We all know YSL packaging is stunning but when it’s pricey you really want the product to be just as fantastic.
