![]() Of course the money plays a big role, too the L’Oreal concealer is at least more than half price cheaper than its higher end counterpart. However if you’re like me and you enjoy more of a ‘in your face’ type of brightening concealer that will also cover up any blemish or redness in its way, then I’d go for the L’Oreal version. If you’re looking for a subtle, slightly brightening concealer that will cancel out your blue eye bags, I’d opt for the YSL version it’s lovely in case you’re not that much of a fan of the whole full coverage thing. Now I do not think these are dupes of each other at all they’re entirely different products. I think this is a lot more brightening than the YSL Touche Eclat, which I prefer over the sheerer coverage YSL brings. It also covers up any redness or blemish you may have by your eyes and of course on any place you wish to put this concealer. ![]() The fact that the coverage is quite high and also brightening would make this a lovely undereye concealer as well, covering the undereye bags instead of cancelling them out. The L’Oreal version provides a medium to high coverage, very brightening concealer. It gives off more of a very subtle, more shiny glow with pink tones. The YSL version is obviously very pinky toned, is more on the sheerer side and I think the pink cancels out the blue tones of your undereye bags perfectly in case you would have these, however unfortunately I do not think it is all that brightening, which is supposed to be the purpose of the product. Sorry, sadly enough I wasn’t able to get the undereye swatches- the camera decided to flip out, but it basically comes down to this Now for the actual swatches, you can see the swatches on my hand right here Left: YSL, right: L'Oreal Left: YSL, right: L'Oreal The L’Oreal version only comes in 6 shades, which is less than the YSL one as expected from the drugstore brand. Keep in mind that the YSL version does have a lot of colours, going 1 to 1.5 to 2 etc., and they do not only change colour they also change undertone so you do have a very wide range to choose from. I think the YSL concealer is a lot darker than the L’Oreal one and is closer to my skin colour because of that. The YSL version is very pink-toned, which is good if you have heavy bags under your eyes unfortunately, I do not really get those so I don’t know how it’s going to work out for me. It just comes out as an almost white, slightly skin toned colour which is perfect for me. I have very pale skin and its hard to match an illuminating concealer with my skin shade the L’Oreal concealer is perfect even with my super pale skin. They both have a bristle brush which I think is very great and hygienic, brushes are my favourite applicators.įor the product shades, I got both of them in the shade 1. The packaging is quite similar, yet very different the YSL concealer is a gorgeous shade of gold, comes with a fancy instruction and has a clicker on the back to get the product out whereas the L’Oreal version just has a similarly shaped, white plastic pencil package. Earlier I got me the L’Oreal True Match The Touche Magique anti-fatigue highlighting concealer and then I realised these concealers are quite similar therefore today I’m comparing them both to see if maybe we have got a cheaper drugstore dupe. It is available at Target, WalMart and ULTA.I heard so many great things about the YSL concealer, so when I had the chance to buy it I had to get it. L’Oreal Magic/Lumi Highlighter/Eluminer retails for $9.99. Tip….I would not suggest for super super oily skin however unless you matte down your entire face afterwards. After the first couple times, I never needed to shake it again. Don’t give up though, just shake it like crazy. I like the packaging and it is a good price so I definitely recommend it! You really have to shake it when you first get it though because at first it’s separated and you just get liquid. it also makes my makeup go on smoothly, so it does its job. This really makes your face look alive, which is great when you’re tired and looking dull. I think this would look too metallic if used as a stand alone product….but under BB cream or foundation, it’s pure gold. This had not made me break out either, which is a huge plus. After my blush, I also dab on a tiny bit in the apple of my cheek. ![]() I apply a thin layer over my moisturizer, then apply BB cream with a damp makeup sponge. Loved this a lot more then I thought I would.
