This month, Dior unveiled a range of exciting beauty products that I am thoroughly enjoying! I purchased the new Forever Blush Soft Filter ($49 each, available now at Dior and Nordstrom) from my nearby Dior Beauty Boutique and I am quite impressed with the formula. These are soft matte liquid blushes featuring a whipped texture. They require a bit more effort to blend out, but once combined with a brush or fingers, they deliver a very smooth, almost airbrushed appearance.
As liquid blushes often darken on my complexion, I opted for the lighter neutral shades. I’m pleased to share that these maintain their color without oxidizing – they remain true to their hue, and once blended, they offer a very soft effect on the skin. You can layer them for added pigment or color without it appearing or feeling heavy.
The texture is incredibly soft, reminiscent of a mousse formula. They come equipped with a sponge tip applicator for dabbing onto the skin. For blending, I’ve been enjoying the Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush, No 15 Blush Brush, and the Fenty Brush 125 – although you can use any blush brush you have in your collection.
The staying power has been quite impressive. They adhere well and appear fresh for hours without shifting on the skin. I haven’t subjected them to an extensive outdoor humidity test yet due to the current heat (unless you’re under shade). However, they held up remarkably well during a couple of hours at an outdoor dinner, so I am very satisfied with their performance.
I swatched all shades in-store except for one (they were missing the tester). While they are highly pigmented and opaque, I truly appreciate how they blend beautifully on the skin.
I picked up six shades and believe the shade selection is excellent. They feature neutrals and bolder colors in a varied palette. I am still using the Dior Forever Perfect Foundation Stick in 3N.

05 Lily is a pastel pink, which I find a bit too pale/chalky on my olive/golden complexion, but it would look gorgeous on neutral-cool skin tones, paired with Chanel Rouge Coco Baume Shine in 758 Blushing Pink
___________

Overall, I’m quite pleased with these purchases. I typically don’t gravitate towards matte or liquid blushes, but I genuinely enjoy these. My top three favorites would be Petal, Bloom, and Orchid.
