Ever heard youtubers bloggers raving about the cult highlighter pen, YSL's Touche Éclat (£25 from boots), and wondered whether a dupe even exists? Well I bring good news, L'oreal's Lumi Magique (£8.49 from boots) highlighter pen is a great dupe and it under half the price! Here's a brief comparison of the two:
Touche Eclat:
It's definitely a cult product but has the price tag to show for it. The packaging is dreamy - weighty and golden, very luxe. You dispense product by pressing the end of the pen and apply with the brush head (usually blending with fingers for flawless results). I have shade 1.5 which is quite yellow-toned and in hindsight I should probably have gone for a more pink-toned shade to counteract under-eye circles. Despite choosing a slightly off colour, I love the Touche Éclat and will definitely re-purchase. The only downside is that when my skin is dry the Touche Éclat clings to all those flakey bits - euw!
Lumi Magique:
An amazing dupe for Touche Éclat and 100% worth the money. The packaging is longer and slimmer than Touche Éclat and is rose gold in colour- gorgeous. You dispense product by twisting the end until it clicks (this is flawed since it is easy to twist the end when just holding and handling the pen and so product gets wasted), product is applied with an identical brush head to the Touche Éclat pen. I have shade 1 - light, which is pinky-toned which is why I use this pen better for colour correcting dark circles. I still find that the formula clings to dry patches which isn't great but overall this is a brilliant product and I will definitely repurchase.
