Your BEST Dior Lipstick Shades

In 1947, Christian Dior revolutionized women’s wardrobes with the New Look silhouette. That year, he also changed haute couture beauty deciding to “dress women’s smiles” with a true red lipstick. Dior celebrates this moment with 50 shades of Rouge Dior Lipstick. Dior’s Angie Semple handpicks the very best shades for your skin tone, personality and sense of style.

Brand: Dior

City: Paris

Launch: 50 Rouge Dior Lipsticks

The quote: “I created this Rouge Dior collection so women can choose and change shades to express themselves.” – Peter Philips, Creative & Image Director of Dior Makeup

Backstory: Christian’s scarlet dresses in 1953 were created with ‘shock factor’ in mind. He named them ‘Scream’, ‘Zinia’, and Satan and used shades of poppy, madder & geranium. To complete the look, he developed eight limited edition shades of red lipstick housed in a bullet with obelisk-shaped cap.

New texture: What’s new for autumn 2016, is an ultra-matte texture in a hydrating formula. Mango butter, hyaluronic acid and aroleat samphira provide 16 hours of comfort without drying or streaking. The colour is also available in a satin finish.

Five colour families: To make the collection easier to shop and wear, Peter designed the shades in five colour families: the legendary reds, the passionate corals, the pretty pinks, the natural nudes and extremes.

    The colours are beautiful! I love medium shades. If I find a colour a little dark for me I lightly add a light colour gloss on top. Love rose and plum shades but will try them all! JustroseCanada on Twitter

    Hi Dave! Megan again! My Twitter name is @MoxeeBrushes and I love my nude colors, & sheer pinks. I’ve never had the money to try these lipsticks but the colors that came closest to the ones I would wear would be the last one and the job interview one- which is color exhuberant matte 787 and ready 642. If there were any colors that were more of a sheer pink, or a nude or taupe color- that would be me as well. To be honest with you though~ if I won an old sick from you I would be happy????love ya Dave! happy Thanksgiving

    Dior had a marvellous colour Rose of the Andes. Does anyone know what the number was, and if it is made these days?
