Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Éclat highlighter is the beauty industry's worst kept secret. Women swear by it, make-up artists refer to it as a beauty bag must have so it comes at no surprise that despite being on the market for 11 years, the demand for it is so high that one is sold every 10 seconds. With that in mind, YSL have just announced that they plan to offer you more.

As of this summer the highlighter will be joined by a foundation equivalent, Le Tient Touche Éclat, which will be available in 22 shades. 'I wanted a foundation that gives the entire face a lively, vibrant light,' Lloyd Simmonds, YSL's creative director of make-up, said. 'Natural, feather-light, but with a touch of very Parisian, very Saint Laurent sophistication that beautifies the skin and makes the complexion expressive. I like to call it a dewy luminosity, as fresh as dew on the complexion - and definitely not shiny.'

I was recently asked to give my opinion both professional and personal on a cult makeup item that is probably the most sold product on the market. And whilst at the meeting, I realised that most people own this product, but few actually know what to do with it. What am I talking about? The highlighter.

One of the many things discussed at said meeting was the evolution of the whole idea of highlighting since it was first introduced into women’s makeup. It started out with the highlighter being used to enhance and ‘bring forth’ features you’d like to show off, or to lighten darker areas on your face. Then, the introduction of shimmer changed it all.
