Spring 2020 Collection and initially, there were only two shades. "001 Pink" became a viral hit after Kylie Jenner proclaimed it as a favorite and Dior has finally expanded the range to include four new shades corresponding to the Dior Lip Glow colors. To see my review and swatches of the entire
Rosy Glow Blush (C$55 for 4.4 g) collection, click......
Packaging:The Dior Rosy Glow Blushes come in a very sleek clear acrylic case. There's a mirror on the underside of the lid, which is tinted on the outside to reflect the blush color inside. The blush is pressed with the iconic Dior logo pattern and the Dior name is embossed on the lid. There's also a reflective silver chrome rim around the lid, which is a bit of a fingerprint magnet but the overall packaging feels sleek and fun.
Formulation:Employing a "color reviver technology" that supposedly reacts with the moisture level of the skin to create a custom hue, the Dior Rosy Glow Blush is now available in six signature shades. Although some of the shades appear to have some shimmer particles when examined up close, all of them have a soft matte finish. None of the blushes are super pigmented, which seems to be a complaint from some consumers but personally, I prefer a sheerer blush that's natural and buildable. So if you love a very soft and pigmented blush, the type that you have to tap your brush before application, then these are not for you. However, if you like a sheer blush that lets your natural skin tone shine through, the Rosy Glow Blushes are excellent. In terms of longevity, these formulation fare just fine and there is no noticeable scent.
001 Pink: This is a soft cool tone baby pink that went viral thanks to Kylie. Personally, it's a bit too pale for my liking but I think it could work really well for someone with light hair and a very pale complexion.
004 Coral: Despite its name, this is a soft orange with no hint of coral. I'm not a fan of orange shades so I've rarely used this since adding it to my collection back in 2020.
006 Berry: This is a very sophisticated plum. The color feels a bit dull and I do wish it was a bit more berry than plum.
012 Rosewood: Probably my favorite of the bunch, this is a flattering rosy pink.
015 Cherry: A soft warm red, this shade is a lot brighter in the pan than it actually appears on the skin. It's a very innocent and youthful shade that I imagine Snow White would wear.
020 Mahogany: This is a rich brown that probably works best on darker skin tones. However, I feel like the color could be a bit redder than just a straight-up brown.
