Christian
Dior Skinflash
Christian Dior’s Skinflash has been
added to the Beauty Contender’s List as it is one of
the first concealer/highlighters to seriously challenge YSL’s
Touche Eclat.
Launched in 2004 to a flurry of attention and press activity,
Dior Skinflash has won a number of highly regarded
followers. These include a listing in the Sunday Times Style
Magazine and winning the converted InStyle Best Beauty Buys
Award 2004 for the Best Concealer.
Christian Dior’s Skinflash is a Radiance
Booster Pen with a difference, the coverage. Skinflash, unlike
YSL Touche Eclat, gives a light camouflaging effect. This
makes it an easier product to use and allows amateur’s
to gain a better result, quicker and the results can look
like a professional. Skinflash evens out the skintone of the
complexion, in a similar manner to Touche Eclat, by reflecting
light back to the eye but the increased coverage gives a softer
appearance to the complexion. Skin will appear more flawless,
dewy with health and even in colour and texture.
The increased coverage properties of Christian Dior’s
Skinflash mean that this particular highlighter/concealer
is formulated in 3 different shades. The first is very light
(pale rose) and suitable for light skin tones, the second
shade (pale yellow/beige) is slightly darker and suitable
for more tanned and darker skintones and the final shade (darker
golden) is darker still and more suitable for people with
a darker/Asian skintone. Also the camouflaging ability of
Skinflash has made the consistency slightly creamer and the
product needs to be smoothed into the skin rather than being
left to sink in. This creamier texture does also help the
product to blend into foundation and allows Dior Skinflash
to produce a good even result that will not crease or cake
like other YSL Touche Eclat imitators.
This makes Christian Dior’s Skinflash
a versatile product. It can instantly make dark areas look
lighter, any wrinkles look shallower and puffy areas look
less dense. Skinflash can, in a single twist of its pen, make
the dullest and blotchy of complexions look even, reviving
a tired looking face to reveal Model Looks. It can also be
used to give structure and definition to a face if applied
to the top of the cheekbones and eyebrow bone and larger eyes
when placed in the inner and outer corners. Furthermore, radiance
pens, like Christian Dior Skinflash, or any of the copies,
make excellent 'erasers' for all sorts of mishaps, especially
those around the eye area. Simply apply it around a badly
done area and no one else will know it is there.
Quick Tips For Using Christian Dior’s Skinflash
Radiance Booster Pen.
1. Apply Dior Skinflash on top foundation for the maximum
results in terms of coverage and complexion
2. Use in the inner and outer corners of the eye to widen
the eye and brighten the eye.
3. Use on top of dark circles and puffy eyes to help reduce
the look of these areas for a smooth Model finish.
4. Use just underneath the creases and dark areas that form
under the chin, lines from the nose to the lips etc to even
the complexion.
5. Use on the browbone and on the top of the cheekbones to
add structure to the face
6. Use on top of a concealer for a more natural finish and
one that removes the ‘caked’ look that some concealers
give.
7. Use over makeup mistakes as a quick fix
