Backstage Flash Perfector Is The Best Dior Concealer

This Dior Concealer has a secret weapon – its applicator.

The newest addition to the Dior backstage line is Flash Perfector, a full coverage concealer for face and body with a unique element: its applicator. Instead of the typical doe foot concealer applicator, this Dior Concealer has a brush designed for precision and flawless blending. Finally, something new to the concealer world! Not only do I love the brush applicator, but I also love the formula and wear. Now, let me try to put my love for this concealer into words.

Promises vs. Performance: Waterproof, full coverage thanks to Dior Flash Perfector Concealer.

Dior Flash Perfector Concealer promises full coverage and a waterproof wear for both face and body. The caffeine infused formula provides an awakened effect for the under eye area and corrects, evens, sculpts, and brightens skin. It also has pearlescent micro-pigments that boost radiance and blur imperfections. Though, what really makes this Dior concealer unique is it’s brush applicator. The brush, inspired by actual Dior backstage makeup artists, allows for a precise application and effortless blending. In the words of Dior, you’ll have a “flawless finish and a natural glow” in just one sweep.

Dior Flash Perfector Concealer is housed in a sleek frosted tube and features an innovative brush applicator. And, the brush is a huge selling point for this concealer, in my opinion. It holds the perfect amount of product to ensure you don’t go too heavy handed. But, one thing to note about the packaging is that it is prone to leaking. You have to make sure to fully tighten the lid or else it will leak and be messy!

Now, let’s discuss the formula. Based on how much I love the Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer, I wasn’t surprised how by much I love Flash Perfector. The formula itself is infused with caffeine to brighten, which I love for waking up tired eyes. It has a silky, thin formula that blends easily and resists creasing and settling while also not exaggerating pores or lines. The one thing I will say is that it’s not as full coverage as claimed. To me, this is more of a solid medium coverage concealer. The coverage is just enough for lighter makeup days or more glam looks. Another huge pro is that the formula is waterproof, meaning it has great longevity for all day wear.

How It Compares: This Dior concealer has become a favorite.

Long wearing meets hydration with Dior Backstage Concealer. Formulated for use on face and body, Dior Backstage offers waterproof, buildable medium coverage that brightens, corrects, and evens out skin tone. The caffeine infused concealer is perfect for under eye use as it resists creasing and settling. It has a silky texture that doesn’t accentuate pores or fine lines either. Because this concealer is so hydrating, it doesn’t set down and does need to be set with powder for best results, especially if you have oilier skin! Between the formulation and the unique brush applicator, this concealer is just stunning.

So how does Dior Flash Perfector Concealer stack up to some of my holy grails? In luxury beauty, my favorite concealers are Dior Forever Skin Correct, Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin, and Hourglass Vanish Airbrush. Dior Forever Skin Correct is a bit less radiant and provides fuller coverage. For the ultimate radiant finish, Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin won’t let you down (plus, it’s mega skincare-infused!). And for the highest coverage, natural to soft-matte concealer, check out Hourglass Vanish Airbrush.
