If by some chance you’ve missed the news, DIOR has officially landed here at Adore Beauty, and we obviously couldn’t be more excited. 

If you’re looking for a quick 411 on our fave DIOR products, we’ve already aired out our (very strong) feelings for the viral DIOR Lip Glow Balm and the DIOR Backstage Foundation.

But…we’ve got to let you in on a little secret; there are MORE great makeup products you need to know about. 

To get the inside scoop, I turned to Adore Beauty’s resident makeup artist, Megan, to share her top DIOR makeup picks, and tell us why they’re so great. 

So, without further ado, here are 5 DIOR products that are definitely worth all the hype...and so much more.


1. DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation.

What: DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation

Fast Facts: 

  • With its fluid texture, second-skin finish, and custom-made intensity, DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation is ultra-buildable and fully customisable to your desired level of coverage.

  • The waterproof formula resists even the most extreme conditions. Yep, we’re talking workout sessions, water, extreme temperatures and humid environments. 

  • Enriched with rich, beauty-enhancing pigments, this formula fuses with the skin to achieve a natural, glowy complexion – both in real life and behind the lens of a camera. 

  • With 34 shades in the range, finding your perfect shade has never been easier. 

Megan’s DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation Review: 

This cult fave foundy is a must-have in Megan’s kit…for more than one reason. 

Created with makeup artists in mind, the DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation is “A very customisable, buildable product."

Hint: When you’re a makeup artist working on a number of different faces (each with different preferences for coverage and finishes), carrying a customisable foundation in your kit is a non-negotiable.

Her favourite thing about the foundation? Well, it hands down has to be the versatility of the product, doesn’t it? 

Megan says that “you can achieve a nice, sheer coverage if you use a big buffing brush and really buff it into the skin."

Looking for a little more coverage?

Fear not, because DIOR Backstage Face & Body can also be “built up to be an almost full coverage foundation".

It’s definitely no secret why this secret weapon has “been in [Megan’s] kit for years".


2. DIOR Backstage Glow Face Palette.

Fast Facts: 

  • This iconic multi-use face palette is the DIOR makeup artists’ secret for adding instant radiance with professional results. 

  • Whether you’re looking for a natural, healthy glow to intense luminosity, you’ll love the DIOR Backstage Glow Face Palette.

  • Each of the four DIOR Backstage Glow Face Palette features four shades with gold tones to create a multitude of makeup looks and finishes to suit all skin tones. 

  • The extra-fine textures of the Glow Face Palette are concentrated in pearlescent pigments for buildable intensity, from a subtle, discreet glow to a flash of light for incredibly natural radiance. 

Megan’s DIOR Backstage Glow Face Palette Review:

Remember that thing we spoke about earlier? Versatility? The DIOR Backstage Glow Face Palette ticks many of Megan’s boxes for the exact same reason. 

This palette is a multi-use face palette, meaning “you can use it on your cheeks, eyes, and even the top of your shoulders or décolletage".

If you were a makeup junkie circa 2016 (yep, we’re talking the block brows, blinding highlighter, outrageously bright concealer era), it’s likely you dabbled, or bathed, in a highlighter or two. 

Well, listen up, because “This formula isn’t like anything [she’s] ever tried before."

Forget chalky finishes and bone dry powder, Megan claims this palette has “a really pearlescent, almost hydrating formula” that will leave you with the most “juicy, ethereal glow".

TLDR; if you’re on the hunt for that glow-from-within look, then look no further than the DIOR Backstage Glow Face Palette. 


3. DIOR Rouge Dior Coloured Lip Balm.

  • DIOR Coloured Lip Balm can be used either on its own, as a primer, or under other Rouge DIOR lipstick finishes. 

Megan’s DIOR Coloured Lip Balm Review: 

If you’re a lover of tinted lips but don’t vibe with the drying effects and stained teeth that often come with some lipsticks, this one is for you. 

The DIOR Coloured Lip Balm is a tinted lip balm that not only hydrates, but “blurs lines and crinkles in your lips".

DIOR Coloured Lip Balm comes in 12 of the “most beautiful shades” and offers “satin, matte and velvet finishes".

And we all know by now that product versatility is a big win for Megan.

Megan’s DIOR Backstage Eyeshadow Palette Review 

If you’ve been searching for an eyeshadow palette that does it all, I’ve got to let you in on some pretty ground-breaking news: your search is over. 

Offering a generous mix of matte, shimmer and metallic shades in a single palette, the DIOR Backstage Eyeshadow Palette is a must-have for makeup artists and beauty lovers. 

This “highly pigmented eyeshadow palette” is available in 4 different colour ways, so there really is a palette out there for everyone, regardless of what look you’re going for. 

The most amazing thing about the palette according to Megan? The palette also includes an eyeshadow primer.

“It’s a little pigmented concealer-ish type of formula” that will keep your look from budging all day, while also making sure that “your shadow is deposited onto the lids correctly”. 

Is there anything DIOR doesn’t think of?!
