Rouge Dior 2016 Lipstick – Review, Swatches, and Look

Dior is back at it again, this time with the Rouge Dior Lipsticks.

With a whopping 50 shades, there’s something for everyone.

The Rouge Dior lipsticks ($35 USD/$43 CAD) are divided into five families: “natural nudes”, “pretty pinks”, “passionate corals”, and “legendary reds” – each colour family having a mixture of satin and mattes.  The fifth colour family, “extreme matte shades” contains bold colours, that are meant to be applied on top of other shades, to transform them – all with matte finishes.

The lipsticks are housed in a square navy blue tube, with a silver belt, as well as a silver Christian Dior symbol on the cap.  The inside of the cap is red, with another Christian Dior symbol.

The lipstick bullet comes to a flat tapered end, and has the word “Dior” embossed near the tip.

I have 5 shades to share with you today, so let’s get into it.

‘Montaigne Matte’ (207) is a cement grey that leans a bit khaki.  It’s meant to be used on top of another lip colour, to alter the base shade, but for fun I wore it alone.  However, I wouldn’t recommend wearing it alone, as it was a very thick consistency, so when I rubbed my lips together, it dragged the product off of my lips.

‘Première’ (060) is a satin light Barbie pink.  The application with this one was very smooth.

‘Red Smile’ (080) is an orange-red.  ‘Red Smile’ definitely stayed put on my lips – no straying here!

‘Concorde’ (854) is a blue-toned cherry red.  This one might be my favourite of the bunch, which is saying a lot, since I tend to be afraid of red lipstick.  Look at me, expanding my horizons and all!

‘Ambitious Matte’ (964) is a beautiful berry maroon red.  The colour when worn on the lips was lighter than the colour I expected (the colour of the bullet).  The application was a biiiiit patchy for my liking.

Last but not least, I applied ‘Montaigne Matte’ over top of ‘Ambitious Matte’.  The result was a lovely colour, however it was a bit of a pain to achieve a consistent colour.  To cover my entire lip, I found that I had to wipe ‘Ambitious Matte’ off of the tip of the bullet of ‘Ambitious Matte’ about 3 times, which seems like a waste of product.  I suppose that the wiping wouldn’t be necessary if you were going for more of an ombre effect, and only applied the product to the centre of your lips.
