Review : Christian Diorskin Nude Skin Glowing Makeup SPF 15

Product Description
A hydrating fluid foundation that delivers just the right amount of coverage to create a naturally flawless, bare-skin effect
Diorskin Nude boasts 100 percent natural active ingredients and an extended shade range to create a shine-free, natural glow without masking the skin's texture. With continued use, it improves the natural radiance and beauty of the skin day after day.

This formula is composed of a mineralized water enriched with an exclusive and natural floral water that offers hydration, radiance, and elasticity to the skin. Unlike most foundations that use opaque pigments and create a mask-like effect, Diorskin Nude Foundation uses exclusive Nude-Glow pigments that are translucent. They allow the skin's natural radiance and color to shine through, appearing luminous in any light.

I was given shade 20 in two 3ml sizes because they have run out of lighter shades. Despite the shade looking darker than my skin tone, it matches well to my skin tone, after the base shade 001 application.

Compared to the previous one I owned, this liquid foundation is much more runny with a lightweight creamy texture and provides a better hydrating ability. I prefer using this, together with the base, if I have dehydrated skin on that day so that the flakiness will not be so obvious. It neither sits on the dry patches nor clings on them.

I am so impressed with the pairing of this liquid foundation together with the base, that I may just run out to get the full retail size!

The formula is moisturizing and blends into the skin effortlessly, giving a barely there, but a dewy radiant look. It has a luminous sheer to medium coverage. Less is more, and will be best suited for those with lesser blemishes.

I usually applies my liquid foundation with my fingers and likes how it brightens up my overall complexion naturally without that "make-up" look. While it does not oxidise and is long-wearing but the oil-controlling ability is only moderately well. I need to dab on the oiliness near the wings of my nose, as I usually does by afternoon.

In terms of ingredients, it contains Titanium Dioxide at 4.35% and Octinoxate at 3% as its active ingredients to provide the SPF 15 protection which is too little, under our hot humid weather.
To top it off, it also contains a high amount of alcohol, as the 3rd ingredient in its list, which could potentially irritates skin, damages healthy collagen production, stimulates oil production at the base of the pore and making oily skin worse, according to Paula.

It scores 4.1 from 46 users on Makeupalley.
