Even if it can be converted, the palmitate part of the molecule is more than the half of it, so the efficacy will not be good and we have never seen a serum that contains a decent (and proudly disclosed) amount of AP.

This does not mean that ascorbyl palmitate cannot penetrate the skin (because it can, it's oil soluble and the skin likes to absorb oil soluble things) but this means that it's questionable if ascorbyl palmitate can be converted into pure Vit C in the skin. Second, a study that examined the skin absorption of vitamin C found that ascorbyl palmitate did not increase the skin levels of AA. A great study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology compared a bunch of vitamin C derivatives and this derivative was the only one where the study said in terms of stability that it's 'similar to AA'. You can buy the YSL Touche Éclat Foundation at Sephora or Nordstrom.Ruscus Aculeatus Extract / Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extractįirstly, it's stability is only similar to that of pure ascorbic acid (AA), which means it is not really stable. What makeup have you splurged on lately? Are you as happy with your purchase as I am? I’ve been keeping the compact on my vanity counter, but I think I’m going to buy a second one to carry in my purse this summer. That’s pretty much unheard of for me, especially without reapplying.

I’ve mostly been using the YSL powder with the foundation, and I am sooooo happy I found this powder! It definitely keeps my skin looking powder free (I love using a powder and not looking like I have any one), but it also keeps my combination skin shine free until around dinner time, when I finally start to look a little less than matte. I don’t shimmer or look like I have highlighter all over my face, which is great! Similar to Touché Eclat, it has illuminating ingredients to help bounce light around, and I do think that the foundation makes me look more glowy, but I can’t really comment on it any further. It hides imperfections, but it doesn’t seem to look like I have any foundation on my face. I’m ok with my match, but I think getting a good match is hard with the oxidation.Ĭurrently I use just a little of the foundation in the center of my face and it does blend out onto my skin very well. Luckily it does have pretty light coverage and blends really easily. What I pump onto the back of my hand is definitely different from what I’m blending in a few minutes later.

Why all of the color testing? When I put this on, I swear that I can watch the color oxide and get darker on my skin almost immediately. (Here is where I ask why Sephora is lit like a nightclub. But, unlike me, I think you should take your top 2 picks and get a sample from the nice ladies that work at Sephora (they’ll put it in little plastic cups for you, did you know that? You can take it home!) and you should definitely take it home and check it out in natural lighting situations. You too need to spend 15 minutes swatching the many shades on your face in Sephora. So, I haven’t even bothered to swatch it for you here. There are a lot of shades, and while you’d think Beige 30 is lighter than Beige 40, there are some Rose and Dore options thrown in there so it isn’t exactly true (Rose and Dore are minor variations with a very slight difference in undertone). This foundation is all kinds of amazing.įirst, you should know that finding your perfect match is tricky. That was a lot of money, and I have say, I’m kind of happy I did it. And then I decided that such expensive foundation deserves to have a powder that goes with it perfectly, so I added the $47 Matte & Radiant Pressed Powder (note, this powder is now discontinued). That’s right, I handed over $57 to Sephora for Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Teint Touche Eclat Illuminating Foundation. I fully admit that I had been eyeing this foundation for a while over at Sephora, but when she posted it in her Birthday Makeup post I finally pulled the trigger.

I blame today’s review post on Cara from Maskcara.
