Formula Overview
$40.00/0.16 oz. - $250.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to "last all day long" that "reacts to skin's moisture level" and its pH to deliver a "customized color." The texture is described as "ultra-fine" and "lightweight" so that it blends well and feels weightless. It was also described as being buildable, and it had semi-sheer to medium, somewhat buildable coverage.
If you can dislodge the powder away from the surface, it's a decent blush; it seemed kind of flat and was more apt to emphasize skin texture/dryness compared to other blush formulas. Some shades blended out better than others, but the texture of all the blushes I tried in the range was incredibly firm, stiff, and prone to developing hard-pan within a handful of uses. I felt like I was constantly using a paper towel to break up that top surface to get product to apply and to swatch.
The "customized color" it gave me often was in the form of making the application seem patchier over time, which was more noticeable with medium and deeper colors against my skin tone. (Naturally, the closer your skin tone is to the blush color, the less apparent some patchiness will be.)
On my skin, they lasted around seven hours on me, so a little below average, but about half the shades turned patchier and seemed to "sink" into my pores over time.
From a texture standpoint, these are some of the worst high-end blushes I've come across. Usually, the textures at this price point are incredibly silky, smooth, and blendable, but wow, what a total miss.

Whoa. Not good Dior. Not good.
So disappointing š
YIKES š¬
Hey folks at Dior R&D; PLEASE stop it with the clean beauty crap. We never asked for this!
Robert Welsh said these have the worst blush formula ever. Why expand a cult product’s color choices, but change and ruin the formula?!
It straight up looks like dirt. Wow.
That was my thought too – like dirt in the pores!
Wow what a way to ruin a cult product that was constantly sold out.
I am so happy I waited to purchase this shade until I saw your review. When Iām doubt I wait to see what you think of the product. I appreciate you!
Wow – this is so, so bad – it does look like a very dirty kind of shade. You would expect better for a HE brand at HE prices.
No, thank you. Yet another company trying to fix well-liked products that aren’t broken.
I can see only one use, professional movie makeup, for a film dealing with the issue of domestic violence…
