Iconic Beauty | Erborian

Without question, Erborian is one of my favourite brands and it opened my eyes to a whole new world of beauty products. In 2009 Erborian brought to Europe the first BB Cream, a product I have used for over 2 years and one I repurchase time and time again. Then for me some of my personal favourites from Erborian include the BB Cushion CompactPP cream, Bamboo Moisture Mask and more recently the Black Cleansing Oil to name just a few products you might have read on this blog.


A Franco-Korean Brand, Erborian has just launched three incredible complexion products which I have been playing with for the last few weeks and I am sharing them with you today.

The first skincare powder compact bronze hue is an incredible product and for someone with a fair complexion, music to my ears. Copper Glow is described as being an ultra-fine, multi-action compact powder, this product gives the skin a subtle copper glow which is just beautiful. Enriched with Camellia oil, it cares for your skin as well as making you glow and it works to strengthen the skin's barrier to help prevent dehydration. 

As my skin is so fair, some bronzers leave what looks like a dirty mark on my skin because they are slightly too dark and I can end up spending a long time blending everything in to ensure my makeup is something I am happy with. Copper Glow, which comes with its own applicator glides on to the skin and is blendable and

Retailing for £34 you can find Copper Glow right here.

Then we have the Touch Pen which is available in two shades - Dore and Clair. Inspired by Korean women's beauty regime, this Touch Pen is described as being "A multi-tasking, easy-to-use retouch pen, to help correct, even out and sculpt the complexion’s appearance". Its formula is very similar to the BB creme and it is enriched with Centella Asiatica which is known for its smoothing properties, Glycerin which helps with moisturising and Tocopherol which is a powerful Antioxidant, again you have a product which is more than makeup, it also helps to take care of the skin.

On the skin, the Touch Pen delivers, with precision, a sheer coverage to the skin designed to smooth the complexion and it is perfect for concealing blemishes, concealing dark circles, blurring imperfections and it can be used to contour the face. To use you simply click the button at the end of the pen and wait for the product to seep into the nib before applying to the skin.  I have found that one click gives more than enough for what I need.

I love how easy this pen is to use and because I have such a pale complexion Clair is the shade I use from the two more often, though DorĂ©, being slightly darker in shade, also works to add just that little but more of a definition and help to conceal those really dark circles after a long night. Clair is a light shade and DorĂ© is more of a golden shade. Each touch pen retails for £26 and you can find them here.

The swatch below shows how each product looks with no highlight or any other filter applied, one swipe of each colour on my arm shows just how pigmented everything is.
