It even lasted through 90-degree heat, so I get the hype now.
My skin has been problematic (sensitive, prone to breakouts, covered in hyperpigmentation) all my life, and foundation has often been the only thing able to restore my confidence on a bad day. I will test (almost) any complexion product I can get my grubby little hands on—I am a self-proclaimed expert in the field. It’s made me very picky and impervious to hype or virality. In this case, however, it’s unfortunate, because I was incredibly late to the Dior Forever Skin Glow Hydration Foundation party.
This is one of Dior’s hero makeup products; It has a celebrity fanbase that includes Reese Witherspoon, thousands of five-star reviewers, and BeautyTok. Forever Skin Glow Foundation has a natural/dewy finish, medium coverage, long-lasting, and summer weather resistant.
$57 at Nordstrom
The first time I used Dior Forever Skin Foundation, I applied it at my office desk underneath the overhead fluorescent lights. Even in that harsh lighting, I thought I looked great—my skin tone was even, my pores a tenth of their usual size, and my texture smooth, topped off by a natural-looking radiance.
Though I didn’t prime or set my makeup, it lasted the rest of the day. I ate lunch outside in 90-degree heat, finished my work day, and met friends for an al fresco dinner. My makeup looked the same at the end of the night as it did when I first applied it.
Dior’s Forever Skin Glow Foundation is well worth its hype. Head to Nordstrom to shop your shade.
