Candy Cane (322)

Dior Candy Cane (322) Double Rouge Matte Metal Colour & Couture Contour Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep plum with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish with faint pearl. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied smoothly and evenly across my lips without tugging. The two shades mixed as they were applied, and I didn’t have to do much in the way of blending after the initial application. The texture was lightweight, creamy without being slippery, and not too thick or too thin, so it was comfortable to wear. It lasted nicely for five and a half hours on me and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.12 oz. - $316.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to mix a "vibrant hue" with a "pastel shade" to create "lips like candy." It's supposed to be "highly pigmented" with a more satin finish. The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and comfortable to apply and to wear, as it had enough slip to glide but not enough that it felt slippery while worn. They had good color coverage that was nearly opaque to full coverage in a single layer. The two colors seemed to mix as they were applied to my lips, but there might be a need for some subtle pressing and blending of colors along the edges to get a really seamless lip look. On me, the lipsticks lasted four to six hours on me, depending on the shade. They had a floral scent but no discernible taste.

Popsicle (353)

Dior Popsicle (353) Double Rouge Matte Metal Colour & Couture Contour Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright pop of medium pink with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. It had a deeper center with a lighter, warmer pink around it, and I did notice the edge of my lips was a couple of shades lighter than the rest of my lips. It had good pigmentation in one pass, but it had moderate slip and felt a little creamier than other shades, so there was slight streaking along the edges and a smidgen of product that gathered in my lip lines. I didn’t notice the color in my lip lines from a normal viewing distance, though. It wore well for four and a half hours on me and was moisturizing to wear.
