Dior Has the Best Makeup Staples—Take It From Me, a Major Makeup Lover
I love makeup more than most people do, which is evidenced by the number of makeup looks that I try on a regular basis for my stories. I feel incomplete if I haven’t created a makeup look for myself—it’s one of my favorite things to do.
After trying so many different kinds of makeup, I know that some makeup brands simply live in a whole different universe—that’s how good they are. Dior makeup is one of those brands. Every Dior product I’ve tried has been a major success for me, whether that’s one of its airbrush-esque foundations or a glowy lip gloss. Below, I’ve rounded up my favorite Dior products, and I saved the best ones for last.
20. Dior Addict Refillable Shine Lipstick
This lipstick is highly pigmented and wears all day. It's hydrating, so it also won't dry out your lips or leave them cracked, even though the finish is semi-matte.
Customer review: "I have bought so many different shades of lipstick for my wedding day but this one took the cake. The perfect pop of color. I did not make my lips look dry like many lipsticks do. Beautiful coverage."
19. Dior Rouge Dior Refillable Lipstick
With 54 shades to choose from, you can't go wrong with this sleek, iconic lipstick.
Customer review: "Love this lipstick! Perfect color, moisture and will definitely buy it again. You should try it."
18. Dior Forever Couture Luminizer Highlighter Powder
This pressed luminous powder makes the best highlighter. Use it on the high points of your face to catch the light and blur imperfections.
Customer review: "I have bought so many different shades of lipstick for my wedding day but this one took the cake. The perfect pop of color. I did not make my lips look dry like many lipsticks do. Beautiful coverage."
17. Dior Forever Skin Glow Hydrating Foundation SPF 15
There's not much this multitasking foundation can't do. It provides a boost of SPF coverage to layer over your sunscreen, hydrates skin, and is resistant to heat and humidity.
Customer review: "I simply love the consistently of this formula. It's super light but has great coverage and doesn’t make my skin look cakey."
16. Dior Diorshow Waterproof Mascara
In need of a good waterproof mascara? This one fits the bill and gives lashes major volume, all while not budging to any of the elements.
Customer review: "I've been using Diorshow Waterproof since 2008 and have yet to find a better mascara. This product holds the curl in my lashes all day, does not run or flake, and lengthens my lashes better than any other mascara I've tried. "
15. Dior Diorshow Brow Styler Ultrafine Precision Brow Pencil
A good brow pencil is really hard to come by. The key to a solid brow pencil is to find one, like this, with a super-fine tip that won't crumble or smear.
Customer review: "I absolutely love using the Dior brow pencil. It's very slim and gives you great control when using, the strokes are thin and natural with very buildable coverage."
14. Dior Capture Totale Super Potent Serum Foundation SPF 20
Serum foundations and skin tints are having a moment. This one is packed with anti-aging ingredients to help improve your skin as you wear it.
Customer review: "While expensive, I found it to be absolutely worth it! The texture feels more like serum than foundation and blends in amazingly well, to the point that you cannot see it on the skin whatsoever. "
13. Dior 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette
This five-color eye shadow palette has everything you need to create a perfect smoky eye, every time.
Customer review: "The palette is stunning. The colors, the pigment, the creaminess, the luminosity of the shimmering colors, they staying power, they are all outstanding. At the end of the day my eyeshadow looks even better, it has a creamy look but with zero creasing. It is the prettiest eyeshadow palette I have."
12. Dior Forever Matte Skin Care Foundation SPF 15
If you want matte, poreless skin, this foundation is perfect for you. It's also fuller coverage.
Customer review: "This is the absolute best foundation ever. It feels like you're wearing nothing at all. It is medium to high coverage but has a smooth satiny finish. Not dull or matte. "
11. Dior Diorshow Lash-Extension Effect Volume Mascara
You could pay for lash extensions, or you could use this cult-favorite mascara—the choice is yours. Your lashes will look feathery, long, and natural.
Customer review: "Love this mascara. Doesn’t smudge or flake. Good with contacts too."
10. Dior Dreamskin Fresh Perfect Cushion Broad Spectrum SPF 50
I recently wrote about how cushion face makeup is all the rage in South Korean makeup products. Leave it to Dior to be ahead of the curve with its own cushion.
Customer review: "Hands down the best foundation I have ever used. It's light and can be layered on for desired coverage. It comes with an extra cushion refill so basically it's like buying two. The SPF is a crucial added benefit for me. It leaves my skin bright and fresh with no caking effect."
9. Dior Rouge Dior Refillable Lip Balm
Dior's refillable lip balms leave lips hydrated, supple, and soft—plus, they impart a dreamy sheen.
Customer review: "Second time repurchasing this lip balm. The best! Don’t hesitate. Feels so soft and hydrating."
8. Dior Diorshow Maximizer 3D Lash Primer Serum
Wear this under any mascara and watch your lashes transform. This primer-serum claims to increase volume and curl—and a clinical study proved it does.
Customer review: "I’m obsessed with this eyelash primer. It prepares my lashes for mascara and adds extra length and volume. I tell everyone to buy this."
7. Dior Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Transfer Proof Lipstick
I found it—the perfect liquid lipstick. Unlike so many other formulas, this one gives high-impact color but doesn't settle into lines or leave lips feeling dry.
Customer review: "Lipstick normally doesn’t stay on my lips. I have tried many brands that claimed to be non transferable, but I have yet to find one that stays on. This one really stays on and it’s not drying on my lips."
6. Dior J'Adore L'Or
Dior's latest mix-up of J'Adore's iconic bouquet of flowers is the most alluring take on the fragrance yet.
Customer review: "This was what I wore on my wedding day. Very feminine and classy."
5. Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara
This is it: the iconic Dior mascara. If you want lashes that make your eyes look wide open, this super-curling mascara is the one for you. It also helps condition lashes so they can look as good as possible, even without mascara.
Customer review: "I am a mascara snob. I am very picky when it comes to my mascara and I freaking love this mascara! It goes on great, curls, separates, and it doesn’t transfer or flake."
4. Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm
This lip balm has shot to icon status and for good reason. It helps condition lips while giving them a gorgeous wash of color.
Customer review: "I was told about this product when my lips were very dry during chemo in 2014. Since then, I have given it to everyone I know that has to go through chemo. It keeps the lips with a little color, hydrates and lasts a long time. One of my staples."
3. Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer
A concealer that mimics skin and truly hides imperfections and dark circles? Sign us up. It also won't budge throughout the day, so you won't get any annoying creasing.
Customer review: "This concealer really conceals! It looks so natural, covers so well and doesn't crease, and it lasts all day and night. I love it so much and finally found a concealer that doesn't look fake."
2. Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush
At this point, this TikTok-famous blush truly needs no introduction. Everyone is always searching for a dupe, but let's be honest: Nothing beats the real thing, and once you try this blush, you'll never want to go back.
Customer review: "First off, I'm a sucker for packaging. This blush was so luxe and really fancy. As for the blush itself, the color payoff is amazing, easy to blend, vibrant without being too 'look at me' and looked absolutely gorgeous!"
1. Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Lip Gloss
If you want a lip gloss that naturally enhances your lips while plumping and hydrating them, this is the gloss you absolutely need in your arsenal. It's non-sticky and looks absolutely flawless.
Customer review: "Gorgeous color, amazing shimmer without being gritty
plumping without setting your lips on fire."
