Dior Nude Glow (001) Diorskin Nude Luminizer Review & Swatches
Nude Glow (001)
Dior Nude Glow (001) DiorSkin Nude Luminizer ($48.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a soft, light peach with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It was richly pigmented with a soft, smooth texture that was dense and more firmly-pressed, which ensured there was no dustiness, but it seemed a little more yielding to a brush compared to the other shades, so this was very easy to apply and blend out on my skin. The highlighter applied evenly to bare skin, didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture, and lasted for a solid eight and a half hours on me.

It's a new line of powder highlighters that are supposed to give the "face a multidimensional glow" with a "high concentration of shimmering pigments." It's an update on their previous Luminizers but with lighter-weight packaging (and no included brush, which wasn't anything to write home about anyway!) and a lower price.
The ingredient list seemed to be the same, and by touch, they seemed to be nearly the same--I felt like the updated version seemed a smidgen drier/more firmly pressed but it was barely noticeable and a couple were a little lighter/darker swatched but may simply have reflected more or less light in the particular shot as there was little difference on my skin. They had medium to opaque color coverage that applied well, lasted for eight hours, and blended out easily. The texture was denser, smooth to the touch, but firmer (so no powderiness) but require a moderately dense brush and/or medium hand to pick up product.

I don’t even know if this would be flattering on me but it is so beautiful on you and lovely to look at. More even than Guerlain Meteorites, I am such a sucker for these Dior highlighters.
Thank you, Mariella!
It’s little wonder why I love this shade since ABH Forever Young is one of my favorite highlighters! So, just like something reviewed last week renewed my love for my CP Might Be, this has reignited my love for Forever Young.
That makes me so happy, Nancy!
Dior often gets their eyeshadow wrong, but not their highlighters. This one just screams luxe to me.
So true, Genevieve!
Well that is just flipping gorgeous.
It is a lovely highlighter!
It really is pretty but the more I look the more I actually think I’m so drawn to it because of your eye look. You’ve really lit up your whole face, especially the way you applied color to your inner corner.
This seems like the perfect daytime highlighter for my skin tone. Classy.
