Advantages and disadvantages
Let's take a look at the pros and cons of the funds noted in the reviews of the girls. First the good:
- First of all, it should be noted that the pencil fits perfectly on the skin due to its liquid consistency. If properly distributed on the skin, it is completely invisible. True, loose powder cannot be applied over the highlighter, otherwise your face will become spotty.
- "Yves Saint Laurent" does not forget the pores and does not emphasize wrinkles due to its moisturizing effect, while lesser quality products usually dry the already vulnerable skin around the eyes. This is especially encouraging as we work so hard to supportthin skin of this sensitive area fresh and moisturized. True, on the network you can also find references to the opposite effect - drying the skin under the eyes. This is probably due to the individual perception of the skin, because the highlighter should moisturize it.
- The staying power is also undeniable - the girls confirm that it does not gather in the folds of the skin and does not spread for long hours, even despite the summer time.
- Highlighter can be used not only as a corrector, but also to correct the face and as a base for shadows that last much longer with it.
- With light-reflecting particles, Yves Saint Laurent Concealer gives skin a fresh and rested look while hiding imperfections.
- Despite the fact that the product is often squeezed out more than necessary, it usually lasts a long time. And since it has a 6-month shelf life, a little bit of concealer remains in the pencil.
And now a few shortcomings. The main, and for many the only, disadvantage is the price. On the territory of Ukraine, its cost is 700 UAH and more. Only in the popular Make up cosmetics store you can buy a pencil for 500 UAH, which, of course, is not cheap, but the price justifies the quality.
In Russia, its average cost is 2,700 rubles, but due to frequent promotions, you can save money by buying at a significant discount.
The only thing to consider before buying a proofreader "Yves Saint Laurent" (the photo of which is provided in this article) is that it does nothas a very dense texture that will cover up all the imperfections of your skin. The almost weightless, light structure is designed to refresh the face, even out its tone and somewhat hide imperfections, especially if you have not had enough sleep or are tired at work. But he will not be able to mask too pronounced flaws - very dark circles under the eyes, skin areas completely covered with pimples, etc. Before buying such an expensive product, this must be taken into account.
Girls who have already used the Yves Saint Laurent corrector, claim that in areas with peeling, it emphasizes this imperfection.
How to use it correctly?
The corrector perfectly adapts to the skin and is almost invisible on it. The main thing is to choose the right tone (only 4 of them are on sale). It is applied to the skin, after using a foundation. Since the product contains reflective particles, it cannot be used instead of foundation.
