THE IT LIST
The product: Dior Forever Glow
Maximizer.
Why we love it: Spring and summer beauty is all about the glow. And a new product from Dior is offering a one-and-done option to achieve the perfect skin pearlescence.
Part of the Dior Forever collection, the new Dior Forever Glow Maximizer offers a radiance-boosting fluid that can be used to create a customized glow.
“You can apply it as a primer, if you want to, you can mix it into your primer, or you can apply it after your foundation product,” says Peter Philips, creative and image director for Dior Makeup. Featuring micro-pearlescence to help reflect light and boost radiance, the liquid makeup product features ingredients of 92 per cent natural origin, including floral extracts from iris, hibiscus and wild pansy.
“It's almost like a jewel,” Philips says of the finish. Available in six shades, the range includes options for highlighter, blush and bronzer.
A little of the pigmented, pearly products goes a long way.
“They're very rich. You don't need much,” Philips said, adding a few application tips for those unsure of how to add a glow to their spring makeup routine.
“You can control where you put the glow, keeping it to the parts of the face that catch the light.
Like the nose bridge, the Cupid's bow, and the eyelid. And then just blend it out,” Philips advises, noting the product can be blended with a finger or brush.
Philips recommends finishing the spring-summer look with a velvet-finish lip stain and a swath of mascara for an effortless effect.
The price: $56.
The retailer: Dior, Shoppers Drug Mart.
