Dior Foundation IM Test
Today I received a VoxBox from Influenster containing a full-size Dior Forever Matte Foundation SPF 15. As a beauty enthusiast and someone who regularly tests and reviews makeup, I was thrilled to get my hands on this highly-anticipated product. After extensive swatching and wearing the foundation for two full days, I'm ready to share my comprehensive thoughts and experiences. Dior markets this foundation as a revolutionary blend of skincare and makeup, incorporating SPF 15 for sun protection. Let's delve into the details, exploring everything from shade selection to longevity and overall performance.
First Impressions and the Dior Foundation Shade Chart Navigation
The first thing that struck me was the luxurious packaging. The weighty bottle, with its elegant design, immediately conveys a sense of high-end quality. However, the true test lies within the product itself. Before applying, I meticulously consulted the Dior foundation shade chart, specifically the Dior Forever Foundation color chart, to find my perfect match. Finding the right shade is crucial for a flawless finish, and Dior offers a wide range of options. Navigating the Dior foundation color chart can be slightly daunting due to the sheer number of shades, but their website provides helpful tools and filters to simplify the process. I found several online resources, including comprehensive Dior foundation guides, incredibly helpful in determining my best fit. The availability of a Dior forever foundation free sample would have been incredibly beneficial before committing to a full-size purchase, but alas, that wasn't part of this VoxBox experience. I eventually settled on [Insert your shade here], a shade I carefully selected after referencing multiple online Dior foundation shade charts and considering my skin's undertones.
Application and Texture
The foundation's texture is surprisingly lightweight and fluid. It glides on smoothly and effortlessly, blending seamlessly into the skin without feeling heavy or cakey. I applied it using both a beauty blender and a foundation brush, and both methods yielded excellent results. The medium-to-full coverage allowed me to build it up gradually to achieve my desired level of coverage. I found that even with full coverage, the foundation maintained a natural, skin-like finish, rather than looking mask-like. This is a testament to its skincare-infused formula, a claim Dior heavily promotes.
Coverage and Finish
As mentioned, the coverage is remarkable. It effectively conceals blemishes, redness, and uneven skin tone, while still allowing my skin to breathe. The "matte" in the name is accurate, but it's not a drying matte. Instead, it's a soft, velvety matte that doesn't emphasize dry patches or fine lines. This is a significant advantage, especially for those with mature skin or those who prefer a more natural-looking finish. The SPF 15 is a welcome addition, providing a degree of sun protection, although I still recommend using a separate, higher SPF sunscreen for optimal protection, especially during prolonged sun exposure.
Longevity and Wear Test
Over the two days I tested the foundation, I wore it for approximately 12 hours each day. I engaged in various activities, including work, errands, and some light exercise. Throughout the day, the foundation remained remarkably intact. There was minimal fading or creasing, even in areas prone to oiliness, such as my T-zone. Touch-ups were minimal, primarily focusing on areas where oil buildup was more noticeable. This speaks volumes about the foundation's staying power and its ability to withstand the test of time (or at least a full workday).
