Dior Coral (004) Backstage Rosy Glow Blush Review & Swatches
Coral (004)
Dior Coral (004) Backstage Rosy Glow Blush ($37.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a light-medium coral-orange with warm undertones and a satin finish. Once applied and blended out, the finish was very skin-like–not flat matte but not overly shimmery or even pearlescent to the eye.
The powder felt smooth to the touch, dense and firm a bit, but it wasn’t stiff to work with and picked up well with a brush. It had opaque color coverage that applied evenly and blended out nicely along the edges. The formula was intended to “react” with the natural oils of my skin to create a “custom” effect, and it darkened slightly on my skin but didn’t drastically differ in color to my eye. It stayed on well for nine hours before showing signs of fading.

These dupes are sooooo similar. With the top ten dupes being at or over 90%, the popularity of this shade is amazing. Good dupes at all price ranges. Of course, that also means it is hardly unique, and I’ll bet most readers are duped. But, there are some superb choices for persons in need/want.
This is gorgeous for spring/summer! However, I already do have Essence Satin Coral, so I do believe I’m set for my one go-to bright coral cheek shade. Nonetheless, I do love Coral (004)!
I really like the color, but any “reactive” product always seems to turn either bright orange or hot pink on me, so I avoid them.
Beautiful shade. Probably too orange for me, though.
A really popular shade and it looks lovely too. But for my money, I think I would go with the Essence Satin Coral blush instead. I just have trouble finding it in Aus.
