Sensual (505)

Dior Sensual (505) Rouge Blush ($45.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a light-medium, pinky-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It darkened slightly on my skin in practice.

  • Medium, buildable pigmentation (as marketed)
  • Smooth, a touch powdery, finely-milled
  • Picked up readily, applied and blended out well
  • Long-wearing (8 hours)

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.
