Dior Rose Baiser (361) Rouge Blush Review & Swatches
Rose Baiser (361)
Dior Rose Baiser (361) Rouge Blush ($44.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The consistency was soft, a smidgen powdery in the pan, but it was easy to apply and blend out for even, diffused color on my cheeks. It had excellent pigmentation that was easy to work with whether I wanted sheerer coverage (using a lighter hand) or intense coverage (using a moderate hand). The blush blended out well along the edges and yielded a natural sheen–skin-like but not actually shimmery–that stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview
$44.00/0.23 oz. - $191.30 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "intense, ultra-pigmented color that lasts," though under "formula," the brand states that it has "bold, yet buildable color." Most of the shades I tried were quite pigmented, but the denser, smoother consistency of the powder made it possible to apply less for more buildable coverage as they weren't too powdery nor too stiff in the pan to work with. They applied easily, blended out well, and stayed on for eight to nine hours on me. The powders did have a floral scent to them, though I did not notice the scent when applied to my skin (more in the compact).

How does formula compare to MAC Extra Dimension Blushes?
They aren’t similar to me… Extra Dimension have a hybrid texture where they seem like a baked product, and this is a traditional powder in comparison. Not to mention, this has barely any shimmer and Extra Dimension blushes are very shimmery!
Such a lovely blush. This blush line is so well done!
I’m not usually a “pink” person, but this blush looks so fresh and alive! Might even have just enough warmth for my skin, too. ?
Saw bella bamba as a dupe, and instantly became interested!! BUT. It doesnt have the same glow and shimmer that I loved about bella bamba, so I’m not going to get this.
I finished a full size of bella bamba, and I had a heavily panned sample size of it, until last month when my brother dropped it and it shattered :(!!! RIP.
That’s a beautiful shade of pink, and I love the finish.
