Blogmas Day six - Dior Forever foundation. Worth the hype?


I feel like this foundation has such a good reputation within the beauty community, especially with so many youtubers I love who have dry skin so it was a product I was very eager to try. As you probably all know I have incredibly dry skin so I am very careful who I take my foundation recommendations from. Usually I stick to a few people and normally they work out for me however in this case this foundation most definitely didn't work for me. 

Starting with the packaging it is gorgeous, the frosted glass and sleek black lid monogrammed on the top for me is just the ultimate expensive looking packaging. The pump dispenses a nice amount of product. Unfortunately the packaging was the best thing about this foundation. The shade, which is the lightest offered, is incredibly orange toned and pretty dark for the palest shade. I find it does also oxidise throughout the day so the shade match only gets worse. In terms of the texture it is incredibly liquid and is the kind of texture I would normally love however I find this seems to dry matte the second it is applied to the skin and it only gets drier through the day. 

I expected a more satin finish however this is most definitely very matte. Unfortunately it enhances every bit of dryness on my face, so pretty much my entire face and just looks patchy as my skin seems to try and drink it up. I find it offers a medium coverage upon first application however it seems to break down very quickly no matter how I set it. Overall I think this would be a good one for people with oily skin however with my experiences I would definitely avoid it if you have dry skin. 

I'd love to know if you have tried this foundation and if you got on with it any better.

  2. I've not tried this foundation but what a shame that it didn't work for you. It's so frustrating when they oxidise and you're left with something far more orange than you began with! xx

  5. I think I tried a sample but like you didnt purchase as it was too matte and I prefer my foundations dewy and radiant xx

  8. I have oily skim so this could work for me but I try to stay away from foundations that oxidise as I'm so pale.

  10. oh no, I haven't tried this but I've been told it's lovely in the past. I have dry skin too, so maybe it's not for us dry skinned girls!

  12. i haven’t tried this recently, not sure if the formulation has changed? I sometimes find parting the skin with oil prior to foundation application helps with moisturisation, but it can be hit and miss. Xx

  18. I totally agree with you when you say it’s so dark for the lightest shade. It’s ridiculously orange on me, I can’t physically wear it x
