Dior foundation

Just as painting requires a clean canvas, perfect makeup requires the perfect background. And when the condition of the skin does not allow it to be used as a clean sheet, foundation comes to the aid of women - a true friend and assistant in the matter of beauty. Today's article is devoted to foundation creams from the famous French brand Christian Dior.

It makes no sense to talk about the brand itself for a long time - the eminent beauty house does not need a special introduction. It is only worth noting the fact that in the research laboratories of Christian Dior they are able to create tonal creams that will bring any skin to perfection.

It should also be noted that Dior positions itself as an eco-friendly company (that is, it uses the most natural ingredients in production, does not test products on animals and cares about the environment). Dior is the first brand to partner with the Human Microbiome Project.

Dior produces tonal products for all skin types, as well as for all age categories.The minimum UV protection in Dior products starts at SPF 15. The brand also produces an anti-wrinkle range that provides excellent anti-aging care.

• «Diorskin Forever". Dior has proven that a radiant matte finish is not a paradox, but a reality. The tool is enriched with the formula "Poreless Effect Skin Care Essence» (caring essence with the effect of hiding pores). With 16 hours of wear, perfect coverage without a mask effect and mattifying power, Diorskin Forever provides an unparalleled comfort on application and wear.
• «Diorskin Star". Inspired by the stars, scientists have created a weightless liquid formula (foundation fluid) that can instantly and permanently give the skin a bright and healthy look from within. The color pigment filter perfectly covers dark areas and redness, making the face uniform and radiant without oily sheen. "Diorskin Star" is a tonal fluid that has no analogues, it has a brightening property, fighting pigment changes in the epidermis day after day.
• «Diorskin Nude Air Serum". Weightless serum, in addition to perfect coverage, provides active hydration and oxygenation of the skin. Thanks to natural oils and vitamins, it cares for the skin and at the same time gives it external perfection.

• «Capture Totale". Ideal for anti-aging make-up. Thanks to its triple action (smoothes wrinkles, tightens the contour of the face, making it clear and gives the skin a uniform tone), it gives the skin a young and fresh look.The unique components in the composition contribute to the intensive rejuvenation of the epidermis, not limited only to the visual effect.
• «Diorsnow". The product contains Icelandic glacial water, which intensively moisturizes the skin. A combination of three unique developments by Dior specialists (Fresh Glow Rosy Pigment, Diamond Powders and Glow Control Powders) gives the skin a light, fresh translucency and provides a youthful and radiant appearance. The foundation absorbs excess oil and optically evens out the skin structure.
• «Diorskin Airflash» - an innovative foundation spray. A comfortable solution for advanced fashionistas, you can apply foundation in seconds. Does not contain parabens.

• «Diorskin Sculpt"- another anti-aging product from Christian Dior with a tightening effect. The cream accelerates the process of cell renewal, which contributes to the active rejuvenation of the epidermis and, consequently, its beautiful and healthy appearance. The cream has an excellent masking ability, tightens the contour of the face and destroys signs of fatigue. Judging by the reviews, all the qualities declared by the manufacturer are present in the product - the main thing is not to overdo it with the amount and do not use it for oily skin.
• «Diorskin Nude"- a legendary product that has earned its cult status due to its ability to literally become a "second skin", that is, absolute coverage and at the same time an invisible effect on the face (Nude in French means naked, bare, naked). The palette consists of 11 shades, so that the owners of any color type will be able to choose the perfect tone.

• «Dior Prestige Le Nectar de Teint» - restoring nectar for the face with a tonal effect - a novelty from Dior. Available in a bottle with a brush and has only 4 shades. Nectar intensively moisturizes and revitalizes the skin, smoothing fine wrinkles and preventing the appearance of new ones. It has a satin and at the same time "velvet" finish without excessive matte or oily sheen.
• «Diorskin Eclat Satin» - Moisturizing foundation ideal for dry skin. With a medium coverage, however, it leaves the skin looking fresh and rested, as well as (just like the name says) a satin finish.

Foundations from Christian Dior have the richest color spectrum - "Diorsnow" consists of 6 light shades, "Diorskin Nude" - from 11, and "Diorskin Forever" already from 16 tones. The classification of shades at Dior is very simple - the second digit in the tonal number means the intensity of pigmentation: starting from 1 to 6, that is, from light to dark. The third number indicates the undertone: 0 is beige, 1 is yellow, 2 is pink and 3 is the apricot undertone.

The choice of the right remedy depends on many factors, and first of all, on the color of the skin, secondly - on the season (season, climate), thirdly - on the condition of the skin at that time, then you still need to decide what you expect from use of foundation, etc.

Again, based on the Christian Dior classification, finding the right color is no problem. For example, if you have fair skin that is prone to dullness, choose product number 012, it will provide light natural coverage and give you a healthy glow. Owners of skin prone to redness should choose number 011 (fair skin) or 021 (medium tone) - a yellow undertone will remove redness and even out complexion.

Dark-skinned women should opt for numbers in which the second digit is 3 and higher. This will provide better coverage, and the undertone should be selected based on the needs and characteristics of the skin.

For oily skin ideal for Diorskin Star or Diorskin Forever. If, in addition, the skin is prone to irritation or inflammation, choose a product with yellow undertones and high coverage (for example, 031 or 033).

For dry skin Diorskin Airflash or Diorskin Nude Air Serum will do.

For dull, tired skin choose "Diorsnow" or "Dior Prestige Le Nectar de Teint" with pink pigment (remember - the third digit = 2).

For aging skin - "Capture Totale" will be an excellent choice. Also, older ladies should avoid dense textures (they clog into wrinkles, making them more noticeable) and dark shades - the color should be chosen as close as possible to your own tone, and even better - 1-2 shades lighter.

Choosing the right tool is half the battle, no less important is the ability to properly apply foundation on the face. Below is a list of basic rules for using foundation, as well as some tips from stylists:

• Rule number 1 - common to all types of decorative cosmetics - apply foundation only on pre-cleansed and, preferably, moisturized skin.
• It is always preferable to apply the product with your fingers. The only exceptions are creams with a dense texture - they should be applied with a slightly damp sponge.
• Spray "Diorskin Airflash" on the face from a distance of 20 centimeters (with eyes closed, covering hair and protecting clothes), and on the palm (if you want a denser coverage) from a distance of 10 centimeters.
• In order to hide skin imperfections such as acne or enlarged pores, apply the product to the skin with patting movements.

• To highlight the contour, use two products of the same type, but in different tones - on the forehead, cheekbones and along the edge of the lower jaw, apply a darker color of foundation.
• Apply the cream from the center to the edges, following the massage lines and the growth of the hairs.
• Always try to apply the product in a thin layer and avoid the area around the eyes.
• On the T-zone, you can add a little powder to enhance the matting effect (to get a natural coverage, it is important not to overdo it with the amount).
• Blend the cream on the borders of the ears and neck.
• Remember to shake the bottle before use.
