Very Much Like YSL's "Touche Eclat!"
My life has been dramatically changed for the better by using Yves St. Lauren's "Touche Éclate" concealer in "Luminous Radiance" for nearly two years. I didn't berate myself for spending $40.00 for this pricey product because it effectively disguises blemishes and under-eye circles perfectly and seamlessly, never drawing any attention to dry skin or tiny lines or creases. I had been hearing and...read more reading a lot about Maybelline's similar item, and so I spent less than $7.00(!) for it at my local drugstore (there was a slight discount that day). The two are quite comparable; in fact, they are difficult to delineate! I first used Maybelline's "Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer" in "Ivory" and went on to purchase another in "Radiant" (really gives a "lift" to my skin on days when I need sleep or am not feeling well, as the pink base will negate blue veins or shadows). It has a gentle, pleasant scent, an effective brush applicator, and a very smooth, lightweight but substantive consistency. It goes a long way to meld flawlessly with my own complexion, only improving it. "Dream Lumi" wears far longer than I ever would have anticipated. I also use on the circles at the top of my nose by my eyes to give myself a "wide-awake," sparkling look and anywhere else where I am sallow. A word of caution: I would suggest using your finger or a separate concealer brush so that you do not contaminate the product unless you clean it after every use. However, always use your ring finger, as it is your weakest and will exert the least pressure on the very delicate skin in this area. I love you, YSL, but why not save the money and opt for a comparable product at a far more reasonable price? I will miss you, but "Dream Lumi" has taken your place. This is a winner from Maybelline New York all the way!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 9 of 11 people said helpful

MAYBELLINE DREAM LUMI TOUCH
This is a very decent product. I use it on the light makeup days, like when I just go for BB cream but I still want my under eye area to look fine. My dark circles aren't bad, so this does a nice job. Don't expect this to cover like a concealer, it's more of a highlighter with coverage. This is also nice to use on top of concealer when you want an ultra perfect look. I use it as highlight on top o...read moref the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, Cupid's bow and eyebrows and it looks nice and naturally dewy. I would definitely recommend this product because it is good value for what you pay and works well. This stuff is great! I use it over Benefit's Erase paste and it's super amazing at brightening my undereye area. It also does a decent job of hiding minor blemishes. I tend to layer on concealers and the creamy liquid texture of this one works very well as the top layer, since it doesn't cake up. I would say it can be pretty expensive at some stores, especially since you don't get very much product. The cheapest place I've found it is at Target. I bought this in Ivory, which is surprisingly pale enough for me (not many drugstore products are). I really like the generous amount of coverage, I would say even more than YSL's Touche Eclat. However, there are two downsides: First, there is little to no highlighter in the formula. For me, this means I still need to apply my Benefit High Beam under my eyes also (which works out to not be a very big deal). Secondly, I go through this product so quickly. I used it every day for 2 weeks and am halfway through the pen tube. So I'm not sure how cost effective it is to use this instead of YSL's Touche Eclat, but seeing as how it's 1/4 of the price and I tend to overuse my Touche Eclat because the formula is so thin in coverage, it may work out to be the best value.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Love, LOVE, LOOOOVE!
I bought this in Radiant at my local store; it was marked down and the display was almost empty. I am hoping it is not discontinued!! I just love this product. I recently purchased the Revlon version and wanted to compare the two. (Revlon review to come!) I love the subtle luminosity with this product; it is an absolute keeper and something that I will want to add to my makeup routine for-ever! It...read more brightens up my eye area, and can be used as a highlighter above the cupid's bow, down the bridge of the nose, under the eyes and between the brows. It is not glittery at all or overly shimmery in the least. As long as Maybelline is making, I will continue to buy!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful
