For me, the holidays are never quite complete without the holiday makeup collections from
Dior and this year the brand is paying homage to the iconic House of Dior at 30 Avenue Montaigne. Featuring a beautiful array of colors for the eyes, lips, and nails,
The Atelier of Dreams Collection is available now for a limited time. I've got reviews and swatches of all the goodies to share with you today. To check them out, click......
Dior | Holiday 2021 The Atelier of Dreams 5-Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette (C$76 for 7.6 g):Available in two color schemes, The Ateliers of Dreams 5-Couleurs Couture Palette features an intricate design inspired by 30 Avenue Montaigne, the House of Dior landmark. "
469 Atelier Doré" includes a soft golden shimmer, a matte dark brown, a satin dark taupe, a sandy golden shimmer, and a satin light taupe. All five shades are creamy and pigmented. The colors are super neutral and easy to wear, great for every day, not just the holidays.
"
739 House of Dreams" features a metallic silver, a medium matte brown, a satin creamy taupe, a shimmery champagne brown, and a soft sandy brown. I'm a little disappointed in this palette, not because the formulation is not as good as the other palette but because the colors are a bit too similar to each other. The three light browns look distinct in the palette but appear pretty much identical when swatched on the skin. The silver, however, is stunning; it's super pigmented with an almost foil-like quality.
Dior | Holiday 2021 The Atelier of Dreams Rouge Dior Lipstick (C$50 for 3.5 g):With a limited-edition refillable packaging, the Holiday 2021 Rouge Dior Lipstick is embossed with the House of Dior facade on the outside. Five shades are available and I have here "
466 Pink Rose". It is a pearlescent warm pink with a hint of shimmer. The formulation is semi-sheer but buildable; the finish is moisturizing and it has a natural, flattering sheen.
My favorite lip color from this entire collection is the Rouge Dior Lipstick in "
858 Red Pansy". This is a deep, rich red with a pigmented and creamy formulation. The color has a satin matte finish that's nourishing and non-drying.
Dior | Holiday 2021 The Atelier of Dreams Rouge Diorific Lipstick (C$50 for 3.5 g):Packaged in a festive shiny gold packaging, the Diorific Lipstick this year is etched with the House of Dior facade all around the bullet. I have here three of the four limited-edition shades. "
074 Rose D'Hiver" is a dusty rose nude with a satin, almost metallic finish. The formulation is very creamy and pigmented.
"
075 Rouge Capucine" is a bold, medium red with an orange undertone. Similar to "074 Rose D'Hiver", the lipstick has a satin, almost metallic finish. The formulation is packed with color and it feels nourishing and comfortable on the lips.
"
076 Taupe Ispahan" is a muted brownish red with a natural satin finish. The formulation is smooth and creamy but the coverage is just a touch patchy.
Dior | Holiday 2021 The Atelier of Dreams Diorific Vernis (C$36 for 12 ml):There are three new nail colors in this year's holiday collection, housed in the signature golden bauble packaging. "
01Bouton D'Or" is a pretty glitter topper. The clear base is suspended with silver, gold, and copper sparkles. It can be worn alone or over a base color.
"
992 Corolle" is a dark oxblood burgundy; the formulation is decently pigmented but the finish is a tad patchy. I used two coats for the swatches below but a third coat would have provided a more opaque finish.
Last but not least is "
862 Poppy"; it is a bright red cream with a smooth and pigmented formulation.
