Dior #004 Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer Review, Photos, Swatches
#004
Dior #004 Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer ($56.00 for 0.21 oz.) is deeper reddish bronze with warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had a much stronger red undertone and an almost rosy overtone, so it did not appear as orange or as warm-toned as some bronzy shades can. The powder was soft, smooth, and blendable and was easy to apply to the face. It was richly pigmented, and even though it had a high-shine finish, it did not seem to emphasize my skin’s natural texture when I wore it. The highlighter started to fade after eight hours of wear.
The Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer is designed to highlight, and it’s supposed to have a “highly-concentrated formula” with a “virtually imperceptible texture.” Each shade comes with a velvet pouch and mini kabuki brush. The brush was decent, but it was dense and larger than most highlighting brushes, so it was hard to apply the product precisely with it. The formula is comparable a lot of the recent highlighting powders that are denser, smooth without being powdery, and high-shine in finish.

This is a beautiful color! I love the lack of orange tones. It’s too dark to be a highlighter on me, but I think I could wear it as a blush or blush topper.
It could totally work as a blush!
Dark!
It is nice to see an option that could work for medium and darker skin tones!
This is going to be too deep for my complexion but boy is it stunning. I think my daughter could wear this beautifully as she has a deeper complexion. Thank you for the review as is seals the deal for me.
It is a pretty shade! Happy to help, Deborah 🙂
Wow, Dior’s really doing a fantastic job with these aren’t they!? What a lovely shade – something that can be versatile even on lighter skintone colours too!
They are very consistent in quality!
Wow! This gives you a suntanned glow! Very cool!
Therefore, I think I really would love this one for summertime. Even though I’m in the darker end of medium skintone, I never lay out in the sun and I always use a strong sunscreen on my face and neck, so adding something like this to get the *effect* without the damaging rays is worth it for me. ?
It would be gorgeous on you, Nancy!
Beautiful! It’s too dark for me as a highlight, and too metallic for my taste as a blush/bronzer, but I can see it look absolutely gorgeous on deeper skin tones.
It should be lovely on some skin tones!
Too dark for me, but the color, packaging, embossing, and finish are gorgeous!
It’s nicely done!
It looked cooler in the pan. It looks warm in the swatch and neutral on your face, what a little chameleon!
I bet it’ll be cooler on a cool skin tone!
The highlighter looks nice but your hair looks AMAZING!
Thank you, Lena!
I like the subtle glow of these products. When I first read about them last week, I thought ‘oh no, not MORE highlighters’ but Dior has done well with this set.
They have!
I’m confused is the review on 004 like the picture or 003 which the title says?
Sorry, it is #004 – the photos are captioned correctly, I just forgot to update the link text.
