Dior Rose Frisson Rouge Blush Review & Swatches
Rose Frisson (353)
Dior Rose Frisson (353) Rouge Blush ($44.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with moderate, warm yellow undertones and fine gold and pink pearl woven through the powder, which gave it a satin-to-luminous finish. The texture was soft, smooth, and denser, but it had light powderiness to it, so it felt more like a traditional powder blush than a gel-powder hybrid product (which was my guess based on the embossing).
It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff that blended out beautifully on bare skin. The color stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$48.00/0.22 oz. - $218.18 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "silky" and "lightweight" texture that's long-wearing and have "buildable" intensity. The blushes had a smooth, lightweight consistency that was finely-milled, though not as silky as I would have expected, without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan.
The majority of the shades I tested had medium, buildable pigmentation that was hard to over-do but could definitely be intensified for higher coverage if desired. They applied evenly and blended out without issue, and they seemed to sit well on my skin with a semi-matte finish or higher. The more shimmery shades were still more low-level and had a sheen rather than overt shimmer that yielded a more metallic finish.
On my skin, most of the hues I trialed lasted eight hours before showing signs of fading. There was a soft, floral scent to the powders.

This looks like such a nice, almost natural pink blush. Reminds me of something I used to use all the dang time…Nyx Pinched! My pan is all hardened and old, so this is a possibility.
So pretty! I need another blush like I need a hole in the head, but I just may be tempted by this beauty!
Too funny, as I scrolled down I thought to myself the exact words “I need another blush like I need a hole in the head, but…”. Haha, at least I’m not the only one.
A beautifully created true pink blush – really gorgeous.
I’m so on fence this year with holiday products. Does this have glitter? It looks like it but you didn’t mention. Just disappointed, I did get the child palette, excited for that. How do you like as compared to Chanel’s holiday blush? Which do you like better? I’m leaning towards Chanel but $70 is so expensive, but it’s so pretty. If you could only buy blush would it be this or Chanel’s holiday blush? Thank you and stay safe.
I like the kind of formula Chanel’s holiday blush is in a bit more – do you normally like denser/creamier blushes?
