Shiseido Sheer Eye Zone Corrector – A Touche Éclat Substitute


In my humble opinion, that is.

Amongst the spring offerings by Shiseido (see my coverage here, here, and here), the one that I've most constantly used is the Sheer Eye Zone Corrector. When I attended the event, the brand representative told me that this is basically their version of YSL's famed Touche Éclat. I have an aversion toward most YSL products due to the brand's penchant for heavy fragrance (I mean, even their mascara is overwhelmingly scented), so while I have been intrigued by Touche Éclat, I could never bear to wear it beyond the testing counter.



True to its name, the Sheer Eye Zone Corrector is not meant for heavy concealing. In the picture below, I applied the Sheer Eye Zone Corrector around the usual culprit areas – under eyes, sides of nose, around the mouth – and it tones down the gray and red, but doesn't completely mask it.


In fact, I tried concealing the pimple on the bridge of my nose with it and was met with failure. Instead, I had to top that area off with my HG Le Metiér de Beauté Peau Vierge Correcteur Concealer (a quick search tells me I've never reviewed it on the blog, but have done a guest post on Makeup And Beauty Blog).

That said, the Sheer Eye Zone Corrector has steadily become my on-the-go concealer. I am lucky to not need much concealing for my skin, so barring bad pimply days, the little stick usually provides enough coverage for me.

I'm also starting to seriously reconsider my stance on the Dior Fluid Sticks (now available everywhere else but most importantly Nordstrom). I just can't get over that finish.

Shiseido Sheer Eye Zone Corrector retails for $30. I use shade #103 Natural.

  2. The Shiseido Sheer Eye Zone Corrector is a lightweight, brightening concealer with a luminous finish that instantly brightens the under-eye area. It is lightweight and blendable, making it suitable for delicate eye zones. The product is multipurpose, suitable for blemishes, redness, and as a highlighter on the brow bone or cupid's bow. However, it may not provide enough coverage for those with major dark circles or hyperpigmentation. The product is expensive, as similar products can be found at drugstores for less. Additionally, the brightening effect may fade over time, especially on oily skin types. The Shiseido Sheer Eye Zone Corrector is a great option for everyday use, but those with significant dark circles or on a budget may want to consider other options.

  3. The Shiseido Sheer Eye Zone Corrector is a great alternative to YSL's Touche Éclat, offering a subtle, natural finish. Unlike YSL products, which often overwhelm with heavy fragrances, the Sheer Eye Zone Corrector addresses common areas of concern like under the eyes, around the nose, and mouth. It gently tones down gray and red undertones without entirely masking them. Despite its limitations in heavy coverage, the Sheer Eye Zone Corrector has earned its place as the go-to for on-the-go touch-ups. The product retails at $30 and can be easily integrated into a makeup routine, complementing other favorites like the Suqqu Frame Fix Cream Foundation and Clé de Peau Beauté Luminizing Face Enhancer. When paired with products like the Shu Uemura Retractable Eyebrow Pencil and Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow, it effortlessly enhances natural features for a polished look. In conclusion, the Shiseido Sheer Eye Zone Corrector is an ideal choice for those seeking a light and versatile corrector with a sheer, natural finish. semi truck accident lawyers
