Dior Nude Glow Dior Forever Couture Luminizer Review & Swatches
Nude Glow (01)
Dior Nude Glow (01) Dior Forever Couture Luminizer ($48.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium-dark, peachy gold with warmer undertones and a luminous sheen. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was easy to adjust to sheerer, more buildable coverage if desired by using a lighter hand.
The texture was smooth to the touch, never powdery but very seamless and flattering on my skin. It was firmer as a powder, which I expected based on the type of formula (gel-powder), which tends to work better with a moderately-dense brush. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$50.00/0.21 oz. - $238.10 Per Ounce
It was described as having a "multidimensional glow" that "blend[ed] seamlessly" and was long-wearing. The formula felt like it was a gel-powder formula, which was indicated by its slightly firmer, almost stiff, feel in the pan, but there was no powderiness, and the product picked up well with a moderately-dense brush. Once on, the powder almost "melted" on my skin, which gave it a particularly seamless look that was never dry or dusty.
The pigmentation ranged from shade to shade but were typically semi-opaque to opaque, buildable, and easy to work with by using a lighter or heavier hand to pick up product as desired. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading visibly.
The powders were floral-scented.
