YSL 'Le Teint Touche Eclait' Foundation Review

It's 11:46pm as I sit down to write this post, so I apologise in advance for any spelling mistakes or sentences that just don't make sense. I've been up at about 8am two days running to sit in and wait for a delivery (don't even get me started on deliveries...) and revision is just about killing me. So, to try and balance out the stress I thought I'd take to my blog and talk about my most recent purchase.

As far as I know, the foundation is relatively new to the YSL range. My shade is BD40 (Beige Dore 40) and I was colour matched at my nearest YSL counter. 

For £28.00, you get this 30ml bottle, though in my experience you don't need a lot at all to get decent, long-lasting coverage. I am actually able to wear this foundation without using a concealer over any blemishes, but I'd say the coverage is medium. I wore this all day on Friday with barely any powder and found that it pretty much lasted all day, including through a nap on the sofa where I woke up with one half of my face pressed into a cushion. 

A little bit terrifying, but here's how it looks on my skin. This photo was taken in natural daylight and the only other face products I have on are blush on the apples of my cheeks and the Touche Eclait highlighter around my eyes. 

I feel like this foundation is definitely worth investing in as it will last me for ages and gives me better coverage than any drugstore foundation in my collection (and believe me, I have a fair few of them). I don't feel like my face looks too made-up and the fact that I don't need to spend an eternity concealing my face is a big plus point. 

I also got given a 7 day sample of this, which has gone in my little handbag make-up bag for when I'm out during the day. If you're interested in the foundation, it would be a good idea to go and get colour matched then try it out for a while.

What do you think? Have you ever tried high-end foundations? Do you prefer drugstore foundations? Let me know in the comments below :)
