Dior debuts new foundation and contour sticks—and the results have serious staying power.
From backstage beauty during fashion month to get-ready-with-me tutorials, the Dior (dior.com) Forever collection has undeniable staying power. The beloved beauty brand has added new stars to the roster with the Dior Forever Skin Contour and Dior Forever Skin Perfect Foundation.
The brand’s first stick foundation offers a streak-free, long-lasting hold and skin hydration, while the contouring stick is easy to apply and blend for a natural-looking sculpting or bronzing effect. Whether you’re aiming for a full-coverage finish for a glamorous evening out or a lighter, more natural look for daily wear, both sticks offer perfectly modulable coverage. “You can combine both to do contouring and highlighting,” explains Peter Philips, creative and image director of Christian Dior Makeup.
Dior Forever Skin Perfect offers a luminous matte finish and a blurring corrective effect.
“It’s a beautiful, cream powder-based formula,” explains Philips. “It’s not glowy or matte. It’s beautifully blurry and long-lasting.” Philips suggests blending with a damp blender sponge for a flawless finish—and offers the pro tip to pop the blender in a zip-close bag for touch-ups as needed throughout the day. “There’s still some leftover foundation on it… so you can pop it in your handbag and touch it up throughout the day,” he shares, noting it is a trick he often uses on set.
To complement this flawless finish, the maison also unveiled an array of six new Rouge Dior nudes for the perfect pout. “A nude lipstick is the shade that completes and enhances your natural beauty,” says Philips. “This means that nude isn’t colorless; on the contrary, your nude shade is like the petals of a flower—it’s the shade that makes you bloom.”
Rouge Dior offers the widest range of nudes with over 40 shades available in satin and velvet finishes. On lips: Rouge Dior Contour in No. 303 Greige Attitude; Rouge Dior in No. 100 New Look Velvet.
From the perfect nude lip to flawless skin, Philips is clearly in his element. “Doing makeup in the late ’90s (the no-makeup makeup), there was this one product I loved,” he reflects, referencing a stick foundation he often employed in his kit that served as the initial inspiration for this launch. “It was a natural look that didn’t look made up,” he shares. In other words, consider the new stars of your makeup kit reborn.
