Dior not only reformulated the Diorskin Forever foundation for 2016, but they have also launched a new contouring blush to coordinate with the Diorskin Forever launch.The new Dior Diorskin Forever Diorblush Sculpt ($43 CAD) is available in two blushing shape shades, 001 Pink Shape and 002 Coral Shape, as well as two contouring shades, 003 Beige Contour and 004 Brown Contour. In this review I will be featuring the two blush and highlight duos.
Pink Shape is a lovely matte medium pink that looks rather muted in the pan but really brightens the cheeks with rosy colour. It is quite pigmented. The highlight shade is a pink leaning ivory with very, very subtle shimmer and a bit sheerer pigmentation. It has a subtle satin finish.
Coral Shape is such a beautiful coral. It looks, as Pink Shape does, rather muted in the pan, but on the cheeks it offers the perfect amount of brightness without looking garish. The highlight shade in Coral Sculpt is a yellow leaning ivory and has a bit more of an illuminating sheen than Pink Sculpt while still being very, very subtle.
On my fair skin the highlight shades basically disappear. I think they will be more effective at highlighting on deeper skin tones. For pale skin I think more of a sheen/shimmer is required for a true highlighting effect. These swatches are taken in low natural light. You can see how the matte blush finish looks natural and skin like rather than chalky or flat on the skin.
I love the new Diorblush Sculpt blush shades and formula but I do find myself wishing the highlight shades offered a bit more of a sheen. Even though I tend to go for more natural looking highlighters these were a little too subtle even for me. The beautiful blush shades will ensure these babies find a home in my blush drawer and will be reached for often.
I can’t wait to check out the contouring options because from what I have seen online they look like amazing contouring shades.
