Dior Foundation Forever Skin Glow (The OG) Review

Dior Forever Skin Glow Review – before the revamp.

I test and review makeup products on daily basis. So allow me to be frank, Dior makes some beautiful makeup, but it is definitely a luxury investment. From the stunning lip products to their Backstage Contour Palette and one of my holy grail concealers, they make some of my favorite products. Of course, I had to try out the Skin Glow Foundation especially with all of it’s rave reviews. To make it interesting lets include competitions in this Dior Forever Skin Glow Review.

Promises vs. Performance: I wouldn’t say it’s 24 hours of flawless wear.

Dior Forever Skin Glow promises up to 24 hours of flawless wear. It has a radiant finish on the skin, and claims a medium to full coverage. The formula does contain SPF 35 and skincare benefits that help skin overtime.

Since this foundation is a radiant finish that has a bit more of a liquidy consistency, I prefer applying it with a brush. For my test, I actually used the Michael Todd Sonicblend Pro Brush ($79). I love this brush because it is dense, does all the hard blending work for you, and doesn’t absorb too much product. As expected, it blended in the Dior foundation beautifully. I was left with a natural, radiant finish and a medium to full coverage that concealed my redness.

The only negative about this foundation is it can settle into fine lines. I found it didn’t matter if I wore a primer or not, that it settled regardless. And, I don’t think it has the 24 hour wear that Dior promised. Though, I would say it is still long wearing (8-10 hours).

Honest Dior Forever Skin Glow Review: This isn’t my holy grail luxury foundation.

Dior Forever Skin Glow is a gorgeous formula that gives the most natural radiant finish. It evened out my complexion, concealing my redness easily with a medium to full coverage. The foundation felt lightweight on my skin and didn’t look cakey. Though, it can settle into fine lines, especially if most things have the tendency to settle on you (I didn’t find a primer helped this issue either). Dior promised a 24 hour wear, and, while I do think Forever Skin Glow is long wearing, it only lasted really well for the first 8-10 hours.

Lets note a few excellent points for Dior Forever Skin Glow Review. It is very easy to apply and blend! Further, none of the direct competitors can claim the skin benefits that are packed in the skin glow foundation. I’m talking about Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation, obviously.

So, now that you know the competition…

This is my holy grail foundation in the luxury category and it’s the industry standard (there is no need to reformulate). It gives skin the most beautiful glow, working well with all skin types from dry to oily. The formula is a lightweight, buildable medium to full coverage. It truly lasts most of the day on skin without settling, caking, creasing, or breaking apart. Yes, it’s a bit pricey at $65 per bottle, but we are talking about luxury here.

At the end of the day, Giorgio Armani simply outperforms Dior Skin Glow. However, if you are missing those skin benefits, I hope this Dior Forever Skin Glow Review has persuaded you to go with Dior.
