My favorite natural-look choice
Rouge Dior Nude Lip Blush is a "creamy balm with a semi-sheer finish." Dior claims that, "This lip balm instantly hydrates, plumps, and smooths lips for a naturally elegant finish. Its treatment formula creates an illuminating blush effect for instant radiance." Rouge Dior Nude Lip Blush is available in 10 nude shades that retail for $32 each. The tube is about 3 inches long and a square tube s...read morehape. The tube is either dark midnight blue or black and a combination of smooth and textured plastic with a silver toned band around it with the name Dior inscribed into it. There is also a sort of holographic CD monogram on the top end of the tube. Inside the tube is a standard silver toned twisting lipstick applicator and the lipstick has a standard slanted tip to make it easy to apply directly to the lips. The actual lipcolor stick has the name Dior inscribed into it just under the slanted tip. The product has a sweet scent that it noticeable as soon as the tube is opened but the scent fades after the product is applied. It might be a rose scent but to me it just comes across as sweet and maybe slightly floral. I own this lipcolor in 2 shades. Grege 169 is pretty much the most perfect nude shade I have ever applied to my lips and I bought an extra one to make sure I have a spare. I'm fair skinned with both yellow and pink undertones. Grege is a pinky beige shade that looks fantastic on me no matter what. It's the color of my lips, only better. The other shade I have is Charnelle 459. Charnelle is very similar to Grege but with just slightly more pink and less beige. It is still an excellent neutral nude lipcolor shade for me. This lip blush really delivers on Dior's promises for me. I don't need lip balm or moisturizer when I wear Rouge Dior Nude Lip Blush since it is so hydrating and smoothing that it does the work of a balm and a lipcolor in one. I don't notice a dramatic plumping effect, but my lips definitely look full and healthy when I wear this product. The finish is semi-sheer just as advertised and it is buildable so you can certainly make it heavier by applying more coats. It has a subtle sheen but nothing too glittery or frosty. The look is moist, creamy, and natural. It just makes my lips look fantastic and it lasts for several hours before it needs any re-touching. It has no flavor that I notice and the sweet scent does fade as you wear it. I seriously hope they never stop making this because it is my absolute most used lipcolor in my collection. I have never had such a perfectly natural shade of lipcolor that also provides the semi-sheer coverage I prefer along with such excellent moisturizing and smoothing benefits. It feels creamy and smooth on my lips and I have never found it to be sticky or gummy at all like other lip products. The moisture in it seems to penetrate my lips and work just like a real lip balm. I'm very impressed with Rouge Dior Nude Lip Blush, both in texture and finish and in shade selection. For someone like me who prefers a natural look, you just can't go wrong with this lipcolor.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
