Just wow. I am impressed! I have dry skin so I normally matte is too dry but I like matte since it’s longer lasting . Well let me say... I finally found my HG foundation!I’m so grateful to have tried this. I almost went with the GLOW one because of my dry skin but after 5 years of wanting a foundation that actually lasts... I tried the matte. Well I was shook!!!!!! So shook that all of my other 30 foundations are going to my friends. I have tried almost every foundation possible for matte skin types with trying to find an even mixture of matte for staying power but not too drying. This is a game changer. I don’t have to mix it with oils and mess Up the formulation like with other matte foundations. This works as is!!! I have tried it with the varsali oil and it’s perfect! If your oily skin.... this is going to be THE BEST! If you have dry skin... just make sure to use a moisturizer and hydrating primer not a Matte primer or may be too much. Never have I had a great matte foundation without having to mix with oil. I have tried everything from drugstore to high end. L’Oréal, maybelline, Tom Ford, beauty blender, fenty, Sephora, huda, hourglass, And literally every kind lol I’m not kidding you, anytime a matte foundation comes out , I try it. I also try other types but mainly matte over the last 5 years because I wanted something with saying power. I use setting sprays , powders, etc... nothing lasted and would end up on my phone instead of my cheek within an hour. Oh and also I haven’t even needed a powder with this and it lasts 12 hours!!!! Once in a while I may set with a powder or spray but hasn’t been needed. Medium buildable coverage. It does dry super fast so only do one section at a time. I have Trier every foundation at Sephora and never have I ever had a foundation last this long without being so dry!weightless while offering coverage and lasting powder or a horse lol I’m so grateful for this. I received this from infuenster to try and give my honest review.

Initially when I applied this foundation it looked beautiful. Smooth, good medium to full coverage, and a nice slightly-more-matte-than-natural finish. The color 2CR (022) was perfect on my light, cool toned, very pink complexion. My skin is not an easy color to match! It felt great- light, not cakey, and really looked like perfect skin. My large pores were mimimized (I am 42 years old, and have had oily skin my whole life. Oily skin = large pores). I was thrilled! After about 2 hours, I noticed it really wearing off on my nose and chin. By 3 hours, it was totally gone from my nose and chin. The rest of my face was still flawless. Strange, since foundations that break up on me usually do so in all of my oily areas, not just there. Over the past month I have tried numerous primers, setting powders and sprays, but nothing seems to help keep this foundation on my nose or chin. I have given up. I emailed Dior beauty for suggestions on how to make this foundation work for me, and they simply suggested that I get the Diorskin Forever Undercover foundation instead. This product was sent me me complimentary for review purposes. All opinions expressed are my own. Less

To be totally clear (since my review is a little confusing), I LOVED this foundation in the free sample size I added to a previous order. BUT I couldn't find a shade that was right for my fair skin, even after taking the time to be all-out color-matched (by hand, with an associate, not just the color IQ scanner) at a Sephora store since I could tell the 1N sample I had was not quite right (but close enough that I went out in it one day because I wanted it to work so badly). This was meant to have been my Holy Grail foundation. :( Now that I've cleared up that I'm reviewing a product I don't really own but wanted to (argh!), here are the pros and cons -- hoping the information helps others! ✔ PROS · · · · · · · · -- Just amazing blendability and ease of application with my sweet Shiseido "Daiya Fude" brush (the fluffy red side.. that's a great brush, too, btw) -- To that point, it didn't cling to any specific skin patches that were different in texture, etc. and the consistency = perfection (not too runny, not too thick) -- A beautiful finish that also includes decently high SPF (usually I just prep with Farmacy "Green Screen" SPF / CeraVe PM moisturizer / Go-To "Face Hero" serum all mixed together in my palm) -- With some Urban Decay "All Nighter" setting spray, it really. did. not. budge. in the crease-prone indents above my mouth / below my cheeks all day... freaking amazing ✗ CONS · · · · · · · · -- Price point = Pretty high, but it's worth it -- Color options for pale ladies with cool pink undertones (for reference, my color matches in other products: Fenty "Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Foundation" in "110" shade; Sephora "MicroSmooth Baked Foundation Face Powder" in "05 Porcelain" shade; Sephora "Matte Perfection Full Coverage Foundation" in "04 Light Porcelain" shade; First Aid Beauty "Hello FAB Bendy Avocado Concealer" in "Bone" shade.. all of which are also good options) Be sure to get matched in person if you can -- this is a tricky one!

My Shade: 2.0 N True to color? Yes - I only experienced minimal oxidation. But, be aware that some have mentioned more extreme oxidation w/ this foundation/Dior foundations. Order on the "safe" side of your color. ;) Fragrance: Yes - this foundation has the "signature" Dior scent. If you are sensitive, this is noteworthy. I'm so glad I went with the matte version of this foundation, as opposed to the new glowy version. This is one of the most beautiful satin matte foundation formulas I have ever had the opportunity to own. While I do love that it has skin care ingredients like Rose Hip and Peony to help support nice looking skin, I really appreciate that it has SPF 35 in it! How they added this much SPF and still made it such a beautiful matte is what sets this foundation apart. I will never wear a foundation for 24 hours, but appreciate that it is definitely long wearing on me. I wore this on stage (professional vocalist) under hot lighting, in photo ops (I really have never cared about flash back - I'd rather have the sunscreen for anti-aging than worry about casting in photos), then to dinner w/ other artists and I never had to bother to touch up. I could see this being one of the longest wearing foundations I own. It has a pretty decent shade range, but could always be expanded upon. But, I do agree w the medium to full buildable claim. I prefer it more on the medium to light-full side of coverage because it CAN look slightly heavy on the skin at true full coverage. This is not new w/ a matte foundation. I will say that I can get MORE coverage with this foundation than most mattes I own before it looks heavy on me. As a performer, I require that a foundation be this type of flexible. Able to wear it more sheer on non-performance days and able to wear it full coverage when I'm on stage. Even when I wear it for stage, I feel like it does a great job of blurring my pores and not accentuating my texture. I really am loving this foundation. Worth the price!
