Christian Dior DiorSkin Nude Foundation

The Product: Natural Glow Radiant Foundation SPF15,


Emblematic of the range, this light, melting foundation has become a cult product. It provides a subtle velvet finish with just the right amount of correction, revealing the skin's texture and adding natural, shine-free radiance for a perfect natural glow.

It is available in radiance-enhancing specialised shades that use translucence and half tones to adjust to every complexion, for an even more natural result in every light.

Its formula is enriched with natural skin care ingredients for more beautiful and radiant skin, day after day.

I don't like feeling like there is something on my face. I also don't like looking like there is something on my face. That means I don't like cakey, shiney foundations either.

I have tried Bobbi Brown and MAC studio finish previously, and I didn't like them at all.

As a result I hardly used them. I really thought foundation was not for me. I don't have acne or major skin concerns. I do have dark undereye circles but I use concealer for that.

This product has really changed my view on foundation. It is so light, it looks really natural and feels incredible. I love it.

I would say it is light to medium coverage.

I don't put a lot, because I like the light feeling. It evens out my tone. I do have a bit of hyperpigmentation on my chin from previous hormonal breakouts, that doesn't get covered with this - but I use concealer over that and my undereye area.

I have bought this recently, so I can't say it is my holygrail foundation.

I also like to try new things, so I don't know if I would repurchase - I want to try the Chanel Vitalumiere next.

Highly recommend for those who want light coverage.

Firstly as always, the packaging of this foundation is beautiful and glamorous as all Dior products are. But besides that, I believe that this is the best foundation that I have ever used. This foundation feels completely weightless on my skin, even after I have it on for 8+ hours. It is so weightless that for me it’s like second skin. I experienced no irritation at all and I almost went to bed with it on because it felt like I had nothing on. It gives very good coverage. I would say medium to full coverage which is remarkable since it feels so light on the skin. I also love the fact that it is super hydrating – no more dry patches of skin and it also evens out your complexion and reduces the appearances of pores. I simply can’t rave enough how good this foundation is! The product also has a lovely, pleasant high-end moisturiser smell (if you get what I mean).

Since this foundation is quite pricey (for a good reason), I usually only use it on weekends when I go out and keep to my tinted moisturiser during the week. This foundation looks great in photos, no ghastly white looks and its leaves your skin looking radiant and dewy, but not oily at all. Since I don’t use it daily, I can’t really tell whether the claim of more beautiful skin with daily use really applies here. But I can say that my skin looks and feels great even after I’ve remove this foundation.
