It’s hard to find multi-use products that live up to their claims, but the Dior Matte Fluid Lip & Cheek Velvets from the Precious Rocks holiday 2017 collection definitely live up to the hype.
The cream-to-powder formula is easy to blend and build. I dabbed a few dots on my cheeks and blended out with my Beautyblender (blush mini), and to wear as a matte lip cream, you just swipe once and you’re good to go. The applicator is a typical doefoot, making application fairly easy.
I received two shades: 005 Charm is a warm taupe nude and 007 Desire is a bright coral red.
I wore the coral red on my lips and the finish felt great! It did pick up a bit of the dry patches on my lips, but if you exfoliate first this won’t be a problem. It was really easy to get a sharp lip line with the applicator too, and this was fairly transfer proof and longwearing.
What really impressed me was the wear time of the blush, shown above is the nude shade on my cheeks. This lasted longer than the rest of my makeup. Essentially I had an 18 hour day and my blush was still as evident as it is above. This was easy to blend out and didn’t pick up the foundation below.
There are four shades of Dior Matte Fluid in this year’s holiday collection, the others are a deep burgundy and a vibrant aubergine.
