Dior Technicolor Red (873) Addict Lipcolor Review, Photos, Swatches

Dior Holiday 2010: Technicolor Red

Dior Technicolor Red (873) Lipcolor ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a raspberry pink-red with soft fuchsia and ruby micro-shimmer. It’s nearly opaque on lips, and it’s a beautiful take on a more classic holiday red. If you tend to gravitate towards fuchsias over reds, Technicolor Red offers a happy medium of the two. The texture is delightfully creamy, applying evenly with little pressure and pigmented enough not to need a lot of layering. I was able to wear this shade for a solid five hours, and the Dior Addict Lipcolor formula is creamy and moisturizing. It is heavily rose-scented, so those with sensitivities to scent may want to try it before they buy it.

  • Product: 28/30
  • Value: 8/10
  • Ease of Use: 4/5
  • Packaging: 4/5

RECOMMENDATION: The pink in this makes it an excellent shade for cooler skin tones. The subtle coolness of the pink-red combo still makes it a shade that can work on warmer skin tones, too.

AVAILABILITY: Sephora

Love this! I wish it as still available.

I love this line of lipsticks from Dior and this color looks amazing :D I never thought I would love a red lipstick

beautiful color and looks great on you-------------

Whoa, flashback! Did this travel in time from 1980? :D

Ooh, pretty! Shame about the price tag

Is it a dupe for rose Maiden?

Such a pretty colour ... so feminine!

Would this be somewhat of a dupe for Kat Von D's Adora?

No, Adora is a deep red - not pink at all!

Wow, that color is gorgeous. I can only see myself wearing it like 3x a year though.

This is so lovely on you!

So lovely! It looks so great with your entire look in the full face shot Christine! What else are you wearing? Your blush looks radiant!

gasp! this color is beautiful! i love the shimmer in it too...

This is really pretty. I normally don't like reds with pink in them, but I may have to try this one.

I bought this online(without having seen it in person) several weeks ago and promptly returned it. I practically screamed, "This is not red. This is fuschia!" when I opened the tube. Thank goodness for good return policies!

Oh, how i love Dior Addict lipstick. I was madly in love with them, until they discontinued my favourite shade :'( This color reminds me alot of MAC's Going Dutch from Euristocrats

Super pretty colour and a gorgeous container too. Very flattering indeed.

It's beautifull! i'm gonna get it, it's so rasberry red! I have really light ivory skin and i that red lipstick is most of the time to much for me. Would this be good because of the pink in it.

This color looks gorgeous on you! I have to try it on in-store now haha. I like that it's not a full-on red, somehow I own lots of red lippies but I don't wear them them much!

I hate you Christine! Now I have to go and get this. :P
