Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation.
Dior recently launched a Backstage Collection which Julia and I covered in a post a while ago (read it here) and this foundation was definitely the key product.
It comes in a lot of shades (42 to be exact) and it has medium coverage with a matte finish, thing that as you may or may not know it’s what I look in a foundation and the is extremely hard to find.
I got very excited about it but of course, being Dior this foundation is quite pricey so I did what I do best and got a sample at Sephora to test it and see if it’s worth the high price. To be fair it’s not as pricey as Dior foundations usually are, probably because the packaging is less fancy.
I got the shade 2N and you can get it here for 40$
PACKAGING
The bottle is made of plastic and it is a squeeze tub. I love it, I think that although is less fancy than usual is still incredibly beautiful.
I like that is travel-friendly and clumsy proof, I think that’s why it’s less expensive than usual.
FORMULA & COVERAGE
The formula is quite thin and runny, it feels like water, it has medium coverage but it’s buildable. The finish is quite a satiny matt and looks very smooth on the skin.
Something that really impressed me is how it glides on the skin, it looks so natural on but my face looks incredibly smooth and poreless but like I’m not wearing anything.
APPLICATION
My favourite way to apply it’s dabbing it with my fingers on the face and then blend it with a damp sponge, I find that it makes the foundation mesh with the skin beautifully.
The shade 2N matches me perfectly which is quite impressive. I love the shade range.
EFFECT
This foundation looks amazing on my skin, I love how matt and natural the finish it is, it looks like your skin but better.
It looks like you are wearing a filter. It’s amazing.
I totally feel like SO MANY skin type will love it
LASTING POWER
This foundation lasts for 6 hours without blotting it, I feel like the lasting power could be better but it has been very hot in Italy lately.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 7/10
- Application: 10/10
- Texture: 10/10
- Pigmentation: 8/10
- Packaging: 9/10
GRADE: A-
I really like this foundation, it’s not one that I’ll reach for nights out or more formal occasions but I love it for day to day life. It’s easy to wear and it doesn’t look like you are wearing anything. I like the satin finish and medium coverage. I also like the packaging as it makes it easy to carry around. The shade is also incredible and I think I’ll eventually get the full size, I’m very impressed.

You always get to play with so much fun makeup. Dior is known for having a solid product and it seems it stands up to your test!
Totally! ?????
Sounds and looks like great foundation, I actually don’t wear any but this sounds like one to try!
Oh it’s seriously amazing! Xx
This foundation sounds awesome and kudos on a comprehensive review! Is there any other that you would say is better than this?
Currently I’m loving Nars Sheer Glow which is very similar but lasts longer and maybe is not as smoothing. Everything is so personal when it comes to foundation. I like the fact that sheer glow lasts for a long time.
Another favourite of mine is the l’oreal pro matte (if you want something affordable that’s amazing)
Oh Okay thank you so much!!
You are so welcome ?
E’ praticamente una versione più cara del Face & Body di Mac?
Più opaca e più coprente del f&b che è troppo idratante per me ?
It’s great that it has such a wide shade range!! Seems like a good product xx
I may or may not got another sample today ahhaah I’ve been loving it so much
Haha I’m sure I would’ve too ? xx
What a great product share! It looks like the perfect texture and I love the big colour selection!
I’m so glad you like it ?
I really like the look of this foundation! Thanks for the in-depth review, I’m going to order this now xx
I hope you like it! ?
6 hours without blotting is so good!! this sounds amazing, love how natural it looks ??
It’s such a nice product! They were out of my shade when I went to get it so I got another sample ???
