Dior has long been a powerhouse in the luxury beauty industry, and their lipsticks are consistently lauded for their quality, pigmentation, and luxurious feel. Within their extensive lipstick range, the Dior Forever Liquid lipstick holds a prominent position, promising long-lasting wear and a comfortable matte finish. This review delves into the performance of this much-hyped liquid lipstick, exploring its strengths and weaknesses, and placing it within the broader context of Dior's lipstick offerings, including discontinued shades, transfer-proof formulas, and the vast array of matte and other finishes available.
I knew Dior Forever Liquid to be excellent (and I'll add it to my list of favorite lipsticks), but I've always found liquid applicators to be messy and not at all suited to my application style. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis, addressing concerns about application, longevity, comfort, and shade selection, ultimately determining if this lipstick lives up to the hype and justifies its luxury price point.
Application and Texture:
The Dior Forever Liquid lipstick boasts a doe-foot applicator, a common feature in liquid lipsticks. While precise application is possible with a steady hand, the relatively thick formula requires careful maneuvering to avoid smudging or bleeding, especially around the lip line. My personal experience confirmed my initial apprehension; the applicator, while adequately sized, deposited too much product at once for my liking, leading to occasional uneven application and the need for meticulous blending. This is a point of contention for many users, as the thicker, more pigmented formula, while resulting in intense color payoff, can be challenging to work with for those accustomed to thinner, more easily blended liquid lipsticks. The initial wet application feels slightly tacky, but this quickly dries down to a comfortable, soft matte finish. It doesn’t feel overly drying, a significant advantage over some matte liquid lipsticks that can leave lips feeling parched and tight.
Longevity and Transfer-Proof Claims:
The "Forever" in the name suggests impressive longevity, and in this regard, the Dior Forever Liquid lipstick largely delivers. It boasts excellent staying power, lasting through meals and light drinking. While intense kissing or vigorous eating might lead to some fading, the color remains remarkably intact for a considerable period. The transfer-proof claims are also largely substantiated. The lipstick resists transferring significantly onto cups or glasses, a significant benefit for those seeking a long-lasting, smudge-proof lip color. However, it's not completely transfer-proof. Prolonged contact with fabrics, such as clothing, might result in some transfer, although less than with many other liquid lipsticks.
Comfort and Feel:
Despite its matte finish, the Dior Forever Liquid lipstick remains relatively comfortable on the lips. It doesn't feel excessively drying or heavy, a significant plus for a long-wearing matte formula. The texture is smooth and even, preventing that often-unpleasant feeling of dryness or cracking that some matte lipsticks can cause. However, individuals with extremely dry or chapped lips might still benefit from applying a lip balm prior to application to ensure optimal comfort.
