YSL Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

A perennial favorite of beauty editors and makeup artists, this is one makeup tool you should have in your arsenal.

The slim gold pen houses a remarkable liquid highlighter that contains light-reflecting pigments. Use it under your eyes and on your brow bone to make your eyes appear instantly brighter so you look more alert.

It's really easy to apply. A click of the pen releases enough liquid for an application, which you can then blend into your problem areas using the integrated brush applicator. The moisturizing liquid glides on smoothly and does not cake. It also lasts the whole day. Apply over your foundation.

YSL Matt Touch Foundation

You'd be amazed at how few brands in Singapore carry shades suitable for the darker Asian (non-Chinese) skin tone. So, I was happy to find the perfect match in the YSL Matt Touch Foundation.

This lightweight long-lasting foundation with SPF 10 has a mousse-like consistency and glides on smoothly when applied. I love the mousse-like texture and my skin feels like it can breathe when I have this on.

To apply, simply squeeze a small pea-sized portion from the tube onto the back of your palm, and using your fingertips, blend the foundation into your face and neck. A little drop goes a long way. Trust me.

The foundation mattifies (if there's such a word) instantly to provide light to medium coverage. Use it on its own for a dewy complexion or dust some translucent powder on top. It also provides oil control to prevent shine. Get it from YSL beauty counters.
