Dior Perfect Foundation Stick

I’ve always loved Dior…

 

I remember using their Catwalk Foundation Spray as a teenage and LOVING it. 

 

So while I’m in my foundation stick era, it was only right I gave the Dior one a go. 

 

Quite a bit more expensive then the others (classic Dior), is it worth the extra investment?

The Multi-use Foundation Stick

Dior says their Perfect Skin Foundation Stick, can be used as a foundation, a concealer or a touch-up stick on the go.

 

At £48 ($52) a stick, you would want it to do all three!

Let’s see what it looks like…

Shade: 3N

I went for shade 3N.

Dior has 20 shades available on their website.

With clear swatches on what each shade looks like.

So it’s fairly easy to pick online which colour you want!

Before Dior Foundation…↓

This is my skin before I applied the foundation so you can see a before and after.

 

I’ve just cleansed and toned with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar range.

 

AMAZING for keeping your skin clear FYI!

 

And then moisturised with the 111SKIN Y Theorem Day Cream.

I normally use the Estee Lauder Glow Primer before I apply foundation…

 

However I was keen to see how this foundation looked with no help behind it!

 

I sweep the stick over my forehead, cheeks, chin and nose…

Applying the Dior Foundation Stick ↓

Blended In…↓

When I first applied it to my skin, I thought it was going to be quite a thick coverage.

 

 

But as soon as I started blending, it evened out into a nice light coverage.

 

It’s similar coverage to a tinted moisturiser. 

 

 

But with a really nice sheen to it.

 

It also smells AMAZING.

Finished Look… ↓

Glowing & Fresh

I applied the Rodial Banana Lowlighter under my eyes and dusted some Laura Mercier Translucent Powder across my skin to set.

 

All in all….

 

I had a really nice glow.

 

It definitely has a blurring effect across my freckles

 

Would I say it’s worth £48?

 

Probably not.

 

You can get the same finish with the Huda Glowish Tinted Moisturiser for £34.

 

(Click here to shop – I got shade Medium Tan)

 

If you’re looking for a tinted moisturiser in the form of a stick, then yes this would tick all of those boxes.

 

I don’t think it’s a bad product, but for that price I expected more!

 

If now is the time to treat yourself, then go for it!
