Dior Diorskin Forever Wear Invisible Retouch Powder Review – Glam Radar

by Fifi · April 7, 2015

I got asked about my favorite powder on Formspring and it suddenly hit me: I haven’t talked about my latest powder acquisition at all in my blog. It’s Diorskin Forever Wear Invisible Retouch Powder that I purchased back in June. It’s basically a translucent powder formulated specifically for touch-ups. I did like my previous MAC Blot Powder but at times it makes my skin looks/feels dry, and now that my skin is less oily, I needed something more hydrating.

What it is formulated to do: This product’s ultra-fine texture remains invisible on the skin without any buildup, even after repeated touch-ups. Use throughout the day to regulate excess shine and extend the wear of foundation for up to four hours. Its antipollution ingredients offer the skin added protection. Size: 0.49 oz/12 g Price: $40

I paid almost $50 a pop for this (including international shipping because there’s no Dior here in where I live) so it’s definitely not the cheapest powder I’ve bought. However, I’ve been using it almost everyday since I got it so I don’t mind the price very much.

The compact comes with a huge rectangle sponge and a black suede pouch. I rarely use the sponge, though, I prefer to buff this powder all over my face with a kabuki brush.

The powder itself is silky smooth; it blends like a dream. It gives off a slight matte finish (not totally dead matte, which most people hate I guess). It never feels heavy/cakey and it does kind of prolong the wear of my makeup. I find that I don’t have to retouch as often (sometimes I don’t even retouch at all) when I use this as my finishing powder. I do have to emphasize that this is strictly a powder to be used for finishing and/or retouching only; it has no coverage whatsoever.

I use the shade 002 Transparent Medium which suits my NC37 skin so well. It doesn’t oxidize nor does it change my foundation color. I love it. I think this is the best investment I’ve made this year in the makeup department.

I’ve used this powder since June and as you can see, I’ve hit pan already! Woohoo! Somehow I have never done that with my MAC powders. I think I’d get a few more months out of this powder and that’s good enough for me. I will definitely repurchase this powder once I run out because so far it’s the best powder I’ve ever used. What’s yours?
