Dior Diorskin Forever Fluid Foundation

Dior recently launched a new Diorskin Forever Fluid Foundation and Compact Foundation with a campaign fronted by Natalie Portman. I purchased both to try after hitting pan on a couple of my powder foundations.

The name can be somewhat confusing as there is an earlier Dior foundation with a similar name, "DiorSkin Forever Extreme Wear". The new version bears the description "Fusion Wear Makeup" instead of "Extreme Wear Flawless Makeup". It has SPF25 PA+++ and is made in France.

The heavy frosted glass bottle is typical Dior packaging and not travel-friendly. The pump dispenses just a tiny bit more than what I need for one application, if I am applying it with my fingertips. If you use a foundation brush or sponge, you will probably need more than one pump.

The foundation is supposed to provide a flawless, ultra-smooth finish, thanks to a Skincare Essence that delivers mattifying and hydrating ingredients to where they are specifically needed.


My shade is 020 Light Beige, which is the second lightest shade available and just right for my skintone. The foundation has a light cream texture that is quite easy to apply and blend for the most part. However, on areas with enlarged pores and post-acne scars, I find that it takes quite a bit more work and doesn't meld over them as easily as some other foundations I've tried. I'll need to experiment applying it with brushes or a damp sponge to see if that improves the finish, as so far, I've only been applying with my fingertips.

I liked the soft natural finish as it's not overly matte or mask-like. It provides up to medium coverage and makes my skin look more even-toned and healthier, but not dewy. While Dior claims that it will help mattify the skin where needed, it was still my nose that started to get shiny after about two hours of wear. On average, I had to blot about every two hours with this but after blotting, the foundation still looks pretty good and I didn't notice any oxidisation after several hours of wear.

Overall, I think this would suit ladies with normal to oily skin types who are looking for a long-lasting foundation that doesn't feel heavy on the skin. However, if you have a lot of skin unevenness due to enlarged pores, it's best to try to get a sample of this first or ask the SA to apply it on you before deciding whether to invest in it.

For this look, I also used the Sleek Monaco palette and Lancome Color Fever Gloss in On Fire.
