A radiant complexion, without a glittery effect or an additional layer of makeup: that is the promise of a good complexion illuminator.
But how do you apply it to achieve the perfect glow without overdoing it? This guide takes you step by step through the Booster d'Éclat, the signature complexion illuminator from La Maison Vitry.
The secret
A successful complexion illuminator is not seen: it is felt. The goal is not to add color, but to reveal the light that is already there.

What is a complexion illuminator?
At the crossroads of skincare and makeup, a complexion illuminator is a formula that captures and reflects light for an instant healthy glow. Unlike foundation or a classic face cream, it does not cover: it reveals. Use it alone, mixed with skincare, or applied to targeted areas that naturally catch the light: cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose.
Booster d'Éclat, the 2-in-1 Vitry complexion illuminator
Booster d'Éclat delivers a subtle, buildable radiance: understated for a natural everyday glow, or more intense for a bold look. Its micro-pearls adapt to all skin tones and instantly revive dull complexions. What sets it apart from a simple highlighter is its skincare formula: enriched with hyaluronic acid and coffee extract, it hydrates the skin with every application. A lightweight, non-sticky, non-glittery emulsion in a 15 ml dropper bottle, for the face and décolleté.
The 3 Booster d'Éclat shades
| Shade | Finish | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| 01 Pearl | Pearlescent and translucent | Fair skin, soft and natural radiance |
| 02 Copper | Warm, golden reflection | Warm up your complexion with a sun-kissed touch all year round |
| 03 Bronze | Intense and deep | Medium to dark skin tones, more pronounced glow |
How to apply your complexion illuminator?
The great advantage of Booster d'Éclat is its versatility: three ways to use it depending on the desired result.
1. Alone, on bare skin: for a minimalist glow
Apply a small amount all over the face to clean skin. This is the most direct method: a fresh, luminous complexion without any other makeup steps.
2. Mixed in: for a personalized luminous finish
Add a drop of Booster d'Éclat to your usual face cream or tinted product Boost Eau de Soleil to boost radiance and achieve a custom glowy finish without adding extra steps.
3. As a light touch: for a sculpted, precise effect
Apply locally to the areas that naturally catch the light: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, Cupid's bow and inner corner of the eye. Tap with your fingertips to blend the product into the skin.
The right technique to avoid overdoing it
Always start with a small amount: you can layer more if needed. Tap rather than spread: your fingertips warm the formula and help it blend into the skin.
