Ultra Shock (851)

Dior Ultra Shock (851) Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium-dark red with neutral-to-cool undertones paired with a lightly glossy, cream finish. It yielded opaque pigmentation in one, fluid stroke, and the color applied evenly and didn’t get into my lip lines. The texture was lightweight, lightly creamy, and smooth with a more balm-like feel, as it didn’t have the thickness/plushness of creamier lipstick formulas (yet still had the glide). The lipstick stayed on well for six hours, left a barely-there stain behind, and was lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$37.00/0.11 oz. - $336.36 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "incredibly long-wearing" with "12 hour" wear paired with an "ultra-comfortable" feel and "high-pigmentation." First and foremost, no, it doesn't last 12 hours, and most shades don't come close--they last between four and six hours typically. There were a few, like deeper reds, that still had some product remaining after eight hours, but the lighter shades never made it through the meal. They have a very creamy consistency, balm-like, and within 30 to 45 seconds, they develop a slight cling, almost like a film, but it wasn't actually clingy or uncomfortable--I could just tell that there was a texture change as it "set." However, the "setting" of this formula just has that feeling, but the product would still transfer onto a glass or disappear during a meal.

Most of the shades were semi-opaque to opaque and applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging or dragging. Some shades were more smoothing than others, but most shades looked flattering over my natural lip texture. The formula was lightweight, comfortable, and lightly to moderately hydrating over time. They had a heavy, powdery, floral scent that was noticeable for the first half hour of wear, though I didn't notice any taste.

Ultra Poison (883)

Dior Ultra Poison (883) Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep burgundy with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. The lipstick had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, and it was somewhat buildable but not to the point of full coverage. It had a smooth, balmy consistency that had moderate slip and glided across my lips without tugging. There was a smidgen of product that sat in my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This shade lasted nicely for five and a half hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Ultra Radical (986)

Dior Ultra Radical (986) Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep, brownish-burgundy with warm undertones and a cream finish. The color coverage was nearly opaque, though I noticed it did not adhere as well to the inner portion of my lower lip. The lipstick had a smooth, balm-like texture with moderate slip and did feel a bit more slippery compared to most shades in the line-up. I noticed the lipstick “set” just a touch so that the product felt clingier and not quite as slippery within a minute of the initial application (not in an uncomfortable way, though). This shade wore well for six hours and was lightly hydrating while worn.
