Dior "Rouge Dior" Lip Color in Ara Red #999- Review, Swatches, and Look

$32 (0.12 oz.)

What it is: A long-wearing, full coverage lip color with a smooth texture.

"Haute couture color and a new ultra-nourishing, long-wearing formula, luxuriously packages in the House of Dior's signature cannage pattern with a jeweled emblem".

-By Dior. 

Description of Shade: "A rich true red"- I find it to be a rich red with an orange undertone and a creamy finish

Verdict: Smooth texture, moist application, long-wearing formula and opaque color summarizes my thoughts on Dior's 'Rouge Dior' lip color in Ara Red. This was my first experience with a Rouge Dior lipstick. I have a couple of Dior Lip Addicts which are a nice edition to my collection but I was very impressed and blown away with this formula. Chanel lipsticks are what made me discover the close relationship that can exist between your lips and a lip color, and Dior's Rouge Dior reminded me again of that existence. I get even, full coverage and a color that never bleeds, cake or feather. The color remains put for about 4 hours before it begins to fade leaving a beautiful stain on the lips. The moist and creamy finish makes this lipstick comfortable to wear. Overall, I love everything about the this lipstick, from the color to the fantastic formula. 

Would I recommend it to a friend?

Yes :)
