I love this product! It goes on smooth (even smoother if you use a primer) and it does not irritate my sensitive skin. I love that it has SPF in it and since I am not a morning person, I tend to wake up 20 mins before I am supposed to be at work...needless to say, this is a time saver and goes on just as beautifully as if I were to spend the extra time to put on liquid foundation. I am on my second compact and I think I've finally found the foundation that I will stick with! Try it, you'll love it!
Quick Take: non-drying, buildable coverage, natural finish, long wearing
Famously fabulous in Europe, Dior is often overlooked in the US. American women are missing out; this is one of the best makeup lines, and this powder makeup is divine. It stays put and looks as luminous at the end of the day as it was at the beginning. It has excellent coverage (no concealer needed) and it the look is polished, perfect and never dry or cakey. I love powder makeup for it's convenience, but i am often disappointed with a dry, cakey coverage, and a heavy feel. This make up feels light, has excellent coverage, looks polished and perfect and stays put. I absolutely adore it!
I've tried a few of these compact powder foundations, and this one is by far the best. You get what you pay for. I use it for touchups and casual days. I have oily t-zone areas, but dry skin areas as well. This works on all of them. It's not too drying, and not too oiliy. It covers well and it layers on for more coverage as needed without getting cakey.
i love this powder. i was looking for an oil free, long lasting and full coverage powder... this one does it all plus has spf! what more could you want?
quick great for everyday, cover up my shiny nose. matte. good coverage yet sheer and not heavy. my skin is fairly sensitive and no breakouts with this stuff. little on the pricey side, but worth. never found anything better.
This is an excellent product. I was a little worried because it was powder, and my skin can tend to get dry, but I was pleasantly surprised.
I recieved this in a set that my friend made me with a bunch of products from Sephora for Christmas. Or else I would have most likely not have purchased it on my own.
This is great as a setting powder because it's buildable coverage, so it's great to use with a large powder brush for light coverage, or a Kabuki for more coverage.
I prefer using a brush to a sponge, because it applies more evenly with a brush, and sponge tends to eat product. Plus it's pretty gross if you think about it, it just holds bacteria.
I use this to set my Dior Capture Totale Foundation, so I needed a powder that gives a nice finish but that didn't go on too heavy, or else it would defeat the purpose of the shadow. I use both in the "Cameo 022" shades, it works perfect with my porcelain pink skintone.
Dior Compact Foundation is an excellent product. It goes on smoothly and is very natural looking. But, I got the wrong color. On the internet, the colors shown is so much different then the actual product. So I had to return it.
I love this powder. I originally got the liquid one and loved it so much I went back and got this for on the go/touch ups. It goes on smooth and it doesn't cake on or make my face oily. I have oily/sensitive skin, I can't skip the blotting paper completely to get through the day but this is by far the best powder I've used so far. I've tried so many from high end to low end, and very very happy I found this one :)
I read the reviews and hope this one could meet all my expectations, however, it's way tooooooo dry for me, although i am a comb skin type. I am so disappointed.
This product did a very great job with coverage but I do have acne scars and needed extra concealer to cover those. I love the matte and natural looking coverage, the spf 25 is an excellent plus. It does feel very moisturizing and the make up stays on for a good amount of time. I don't know if this is a great powder for buildable coverage since it's a bit on the thicker side. It may clog up your pores if you use this as touch up too frequently. I have extremely oily skin and need extra touch ups.
Quick Take: non-drying, buildable coverage, natural finish, look like tin man
Goes on great looks invisible...except I have combo skin and this made me look silversh when I got oily. So now I switched to nars powder foundation which is what im sticking with
I was on the hunt for the perfect powder. I spent about 2 hours in the store testing textures. I used every powder. I have used the Laura Mercier translucent powder. They are very comparable in price and quality. I love the way it fills imperfections, looks and smells-not too intense. It makes my skin look like a porcelain doll. I can't even think of using anything else ever.
I live in super humid Hawaii, makeup usually sweats off within a few hours. This makeup is long lasting, offers great coverage, and is silky to the touch. I did however have a hard time with the color. I matched it to my face in the store but was sad to find when I got home and applied allover it is a bit too light. The use of an all over bronzer helps solve this, though next time I will go with a darker shade.
