Dior Event

So a Dior National was at our store the other day, and I got my makeup done. It was pretty cool learning some tips and tricks from him! Plus, he was such a sweetie too!



I got the Airflash put on me...it gave me some awesome coverage, but man! that stuff is thick! I don't think I can wear that at all; it's just too much for me. I guess I'm spoiled with the Face Fabric, but even the Luminous Silk doesn't feel like that. I like coverage, but I also like to feel like my skin can breathe...

The MUA artist also did the SoCal thing and put way too much, and I'm talking a sheet load of bronzer on me. I did see his point though..if I'm going to be working under fluorescent lighting, I've got to play the makeup up a bit, but dizamn! The highlight, Radiance Booster Pen, was awesome though; I really want to get it! It's water based so you can really layer it on, and it won't give you that porous look which is a problem I have with highlighters. It's a very nice finish and absorbs into your skin moisturizing it as well so it doubles as a skincare product.

I also loved the brow pencil which has a powder finish and is waterproof so it finishes like you're sculpting hair and won't smudge. It's kind of an ouchy price on your wallet though, so I'm still contemplating that one and waiting for my Kate one to come in the mail from JPN.

Another product that really surprised me is the Diorshow Iconic. I had no idea it was a lash primer, assuming it was a mascara this whole time. Apparently though, it's just a lash primer with black pigment in it. It contains rosewater so it's hydrating to the lashes, and helps to keep the lash hair strong. It also has a gel-like primer in it and has a curling effect for your lashes as well. The MUA didn't use a lash curler at all on my lashes and they actually curled! This never happens as my lashes are straight straight straight. I was really surprised so that ended up being one of my purchases. I don't have to layer two mascaras anymore as I can use this primer instead. I find with the white primers, they tend to straighten out the lashes that I just curled but this does the opposite. I pair it with my Imju Fiberwig, and it works really well! Granted, it's not as much of a curl as it would be if I used a lash curler, but it does the trick, and I can give my lashes the break it needs. Will do a full review with pics on it later methinks...now onto the pics!

Without flash...oh! I almost forgot. Another thing that I was kind of ??? About was he put this...non lipstick on me that pretty much wore out by the time I got home. Sad :( because I love dior lipsticks and glosses so I was kind of excited about seeing what he'd pick, but I guess because the eye was so heavy he went...er.uber natural on my lips? But it wore off by the time I got home so I just put some chapstick on...

He also didn't put eyeliner on me. Kind of shocking since I'm so gung ho about eyeliner, but it softens up this look a bit and kind of works. What does everyone think? Would it have been better with eyeliner?

With flash!

All in all, it was good learning a little more about Dior and some tips. I also put on colors that I normally wouldn't wear and got out of my comfort zone a bit.
