Dior Star Foundation

Everybody and their mums have been raving about this foundation so of course I had to have it in my hands since I'm a right sucker for trying out new foundations. I purchased the Dior Star foundation back in September/October and then ran out and repurchased my beloved MAC Studio Fix Fluid the very next day. The Studio Fix Fluid is one that you either love or hate and I definitely have my love/hate relationship with it. I love a full coverage foundation and don't see the point of wearing foundation with lower coverage (for me personally anyway) and with the Studio Fix Fluid it literally covers everything and I don't need to use concealer for blemishes/scarring. I know it seems like I'm going a little off topic but it's so you can see why I didn't get on that well in the beginning with the Dior Star. From the beginning I always thought I'd like the foundation a lot more if it had a bit more coverage and if my skin had improved.

There has been several "barely there" bases introduced to the market and unless you have 'perfect' skin then most of them are pretty much pointless. This foundation however gives a bit more coverage than others on the market. It does a good job at evening out the skin and concealing small imperfections. If like me you have problematic skin then this may not float your boat since this foundation gives a medium coverage with an almost matte finish finish.

The foundation diffuses light and as a result photographs beautifully. It gives the skin a radiant look without it being shimmery. This helps it to give off a beautiful natural glow. However, I found that this light reflecting property often extenuated the pigmentation on my skin.

It says to shake well and I found that this definitely helped with the application. The foundation`comes with SPF 30 which is great for people like me who neglect sunscreen. I will invest in one soon. I need to. One of the claims of this foundations is that it is "weightless". I disagree, it isn't exactly weightless but incredibly lightweight on the skin.

After updating my skincare routine and noticing a dramatic difference in the appearance of my skin, I definitely enjoyed this foundation a lot more. I would recommend this foundation for both everyday wear or for special occasions. It is slightly expensive though for everyday use as it retails for £32. However, if like me you don't necessarily mind splashing out on high end foundations then definitely give this one a try. I purchased mine from Boots, the generous advantage card gives you a total of £1.28 in points. If you're looking for coverage then you might want to stay away as the Dior Star will probably do you no good. Have you used the Dior Star & what are your thoughts? Is there any foundation that you think I'd like? Let me know in the comments below :)
