Verdict
Historically I haven't been a fan of any of my cushion BB creams (reviews here). They don't seem to set without powder, and always start looking cakey after a few hours, so naturally I prefer liquid foundations or BB creams. I purchased the Dior one after seeing Tati on Youtube talk about it, she seems to really like it saying that it firms the skin and makes the skin look more flawless.
Personally I'm not in love with it yet, but I do like tinted sunscreens that are not cakey looking, which this is. Unfortunately my pores may be a bit too big to take advantage of all the silicones in their formula, but at least it doesn't make my pores look worse.
I've been using this the past couple days and it really keeps my skin looking nice throughout the day. The coverage isn't great but I enjoy using it
Repurchase?
No.
Would I recommend it?
If you're into luxury makeup.
If you're familiar with BB cushions, you know they originated from Korea. The Dior one is no exception since it's "made in Korea." When I took it out of the packaging I thought it strongly resembled the Laneige one I have, and ofc it's identical except for the color and print.
Considering how similar the scents are, I looked into the ingredients between Dior and Laneige out of curiosity.
Laneige:
Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Phenyl Trimethicone, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Arbutin, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Yeast Extract, Manganese Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Magnesium Sulfate, Melia Azadirachta Extract, Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate/Dimethicone Methacrylate Copolymer, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Disteardimonium Hectorite, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Lecithin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Isostearic Acid, Isopropyl Palmitate, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Acrylates/Stearyl Acrylate/Dimethicone Methacrylate Copolymer, Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499, Fragrance
Dior:
I got a bit cross-eyed trying to read this, but I highlighted the few ingredients that stuck out to me. Presumably they use the same base, but the ingredients are in different orders. The Dior one is thinner, sheerer and doesn't make my skin look oily. The Dior one supposedly have the DreamSkin formula, which supposedly makes your pores look minimized and skin perfected.
