I Just Tried £425 Worth of Dior Makeup—These Are the Products I'd Buy Over and Over Again

Ok, so I know this isn't technically makeup, but since getting my hands on these hydrating under-eye patches from Dior, I never do my makeup without them. You see, I have always suffered from dry under eyes, which means that my concealer never applies smoothly. However, thanks to a hydrating concoction of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide (alongside caffeine to help awaken the eye area), these patches ensure that my makeup goes on like an absolute dream.

Are they a necessary addition to your makeup bag? No. But are they a super fun and stylish way to take your makeup routine up a notch? Yes, absolutely.

Not to sound dramatic, but I'm not quite sure what I did before this foundation. As mentioned above, I like a minimal makeup look, and this is especially important when it comes to base products. I don't like a heavy foundation, which is why I often opt for a skin tint or tinted moisturiser. However, this is the perfect lightweight base that provides good coverage and a radiant, naturally dewy finish.

How does it do this, I hear you ask? Interestingly enough, the product is formulated with an 86% skincare base using ingredients that are commonly found in Dior skincare products. Because of this, your complexion is left looking and feeling hydrated, glowy and plump.

There are an impressive 43 shades on offer, and I opted for 1N, which matched my skin tone perfectly. I'd say it offers light to medium coverage, but thanks to the lightweight formulation, you can easily build this up if desired.

I thought that this concealer would be similar to the foundation above, but the coverage that it offers is quite incredible. It still has that lightweight, creamy feel to it, but it concealed my blemishes and under-eye circles so well that I couldn't actually believe how healthy my complexion looked.

It has an incredibly smooth texture that glides onto the skin and blends like a dream. You don't need a lot in order to see results, so I just applied a small amount to my under eyes and my chin, as I was breaking out a little bit in that area. I used a concealer brush to blend the formula in and loved the finished result, especially on my under eyes. Despite the full coverage, the concealer never creased and left my eyes looking bright and radiant.

In summer, I like to use a natural-looking bronzer to add a slight sun-kissed effect, and this product does exactly that. While it wouldn't be the right product for a sharp contour, it is great for warming up the complexion.

I opted for the shade 04 Warm and applied the bronzer to my cheekbones and the sides of my forehead and the nose. I loved the finish result and can see myself reaching for this daily this season. Plus, how chic is the packaging?

Now, onto one of the newest launches that I have been so excited to talk about. If you're familiar with Dior's beauty products, then you may have already heard of the popular Dior Addict Lip Glow. Although the packaging looks very similar, this new product is actually the brand's first stick blush that adds a dewy flush of colour to the cheeks.

What's really cool about this product is that although there are seven shades on offer, each formula adapts to the skin's pH to create a "custom" colour for your cheeks.

The blush itself is incredibly easy to apply. All you have to do is swipe it on and blend with your fingers or a brush. Each shade is very pigmented, so a little goes a long way, so don't be afraid to start small and build up the colour as you go. The creamy formula looks so radiant when on the skin, and adds a plump, juicy effect to the cheeks. Yep, I'm obsessed.

I don't do a lot to my brows out of sheer laziness, but one thing I don't mind using is a brow gel to make them look a little fuller and fluffier. Enter Dior's On Set Brow, the perfect product for anyone in a rush in the mornings.

The formula is enriched with microfibres to create a full, voluminous look. The small brush makes it easy to get a precise finish and what I like is that it doesn't leave your brows feeling sticky or stiff like some brow gels can do. It's not one for those of you who like a dramatic finish, but if you like natural-looking brows like me, I recommend adding this to your basket ASAP.

If you're yet to get your hands on a Dior eyeshadow palette, take this as your sign. I have a few from the brand now as the smaller size is great for travelling and the eyeshadows themselves are always so pigmented and easy to apply thanks to the silky, velvety formulas.

For this look, I opted for the limited edition palette in the shade Pink Riviera. The palette itself is a work of art, and the range of shimmery pink and brown shades work perfectly with my skin tone for both day and evening makeup looks.

I've used this eyeliner for years now, so I already knew that this would be getting top marks from me. If you struggle to do winged eyeliner then I really recommend giving this product a go. It has a super fine nib that's ideal for getting a more precise finish, and the pigmented colour means that your eyeliner can be done in one simple stroke.

It comes in lots of different shades but I always opt for the brown colour as I find that it looks a little softer than classic black.

We've done a whole review on the new Diorshow Overvolume Mascara as it's just that good. As someone with sparse, straight lashes, I need a formula that is going to work with me, not against me, and this mascara does just that.

Yes, the product itself looks like a fashion accessory, but the formula is just as luxurious. It adds impressive volume to the lashes while also managing to hold a curl all day long (without smudging, too). If you want that fluttery finish, definitely check this mascara out.

Last but certainly not least, we need to talk about the new Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter. First of all, how cute is this packaging? Complete with a Dior charm, this is going to be the must-have accessory of the summer for any beauty lover.

There are five shades to choose from, including a bright pink and a deep cherry hue. While they might seem quite bold on first look, when you apply the product to the lips, they actually go on quite sheer, adding a natural hint of colour.

The packaging and the fun shades might already have you sold, but what really impressed me about this product was how the brand has created the perfect hybrid of a lip balm and a lip gloss. The buttery formula is so hydrating but also manages to deliver a high-shine finish that gives my normal lip gloss a run for its money. Yep, I'll be wearing this every day from now on.
