Dior Stand Out (649) Rouge Blush Review & Swatches
Stand Out (649)
Dior Stand Out (649) Rouge Blush ($44.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a bright, medium tangerine orange with strong, warm yellow undertones and a golden pearl sheen. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly on bare skin. The powder was smooth to the touch, dense but not stiff, and remained blendable on my skin, even when applied more intensely. The finish was luminous but didn’t emphasize my skin’s texture or appear overtly shimmery. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours on me before it faded a bit.

Formula Overview
$48.00/0.22 oz. - $218.18 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "silky" and "lightweight" texture that's long-wearing and have "buildable" intensity. The blushes had a smooth, lightweight consistency that was finely-milled, though not as silky as I would have expected, without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan.
The majority of the shades I tested had medium, buildable pigmentation that was hard to over-do but could definitely be intensified for higher coverage if desired. They applied evenly and blended out without issue, and they seemed to sit well on my skin with a semi-matte finish or higher. The more shimmery shades were still more low-level and had a sheen rather than overt shimmer that yielded a more metallic finish.
On my skin, most of the hues I trialed lasted eight hours before showing signs of fading. There was a soft, floral scent to the powders.

Whoa! Now that’s my kind of blush (though not for the price — there are more reasonable dupes).
I always think it but forget to say it, christine you look especially lovely with your makeup like this, just blush on, soft lip color and your magenta hair peeking out behind you. just adorable 🙂
Man, I hate how I looked in this photo set – if I wasn’t buried under holiday releases, I probably would have redone these 🙁 It’s nice to hear from someone who obviously sees it differently, though!
Aww, I’m sorry you feel that way but I was actually coming to say the same thing – this color blush really looks great on you IMHO. I’d be tempted to try it myself if I didn’t know better (just that intense blush doesn’t do it for my face).
Okay, so while I absolutely love this shade on you, I cannot pull off such a warm orange and not look deathly ill. Otherwise, I would sooo buy this blush that does live up to its name: Stand Out!
I have a case of ?envy!
Looking forward for DIOR 136 Delicate Matte blush, if it is possible!
Sorry, I don’t have that!
It ‘s OK! Thank you for your response!
The Dior blushes you’ve been reviewing look sooooooo great, but I’m just not a blush person thus I know I have enough to achieve what I want. But IF I needed another blush, this one and the other red one you recently reviewed would definitely see there way to my home. 😉
I’m in LOVE with this orange.
nevermind that I love all orange blushes XD
Wow what an unique color!! You do look great Christine. Don’t think I could pull this color off and even so wouldn’t wear it enough to warrant the cost.
Dior blushes are rockin!
