YSL Touché Éclat Concealer in Luminous Radiance, $40
The Body Shop Lightening Touch Concealer in 04, $14.50
The Breakdown:
Concealer is concealer, said no one, ever -- which explains why, even with its $40 price tag, one YSL Touché Éclat concealer is sold every ten seconds. Its ability to make dark circles and fine lines disappear has made Touché Éclat a "Holy Grail" product. My favorite shade, Luminous Radiance, is best for fair skin with slight pink undertones to it.
The closest match in The Body Shop concealer dupe is 04, which is more shimmery and lilac-based (similar in color to Benefit High Beam). The lighter shades of both concealers wake up my tired eyes and make my whole face seem more awake. But the shimmery Body Shop concealer calls attention to the lightness beneath my eyes and sinks into my fine lines, rather than camouflaging them.
