I love testing out new makeup because so many of them have big claims and gorgeous packaging, and yet, they simply don’t perform well. When I find a foundation or concealer that works, I feel compelled to tell everyone because finding good quality makeup is hard!

To give you an idea of what I deem to be good, it has to:

• Look natural on the skin.

• Apply seamlessly over the skin with both a makeup sponge and fingers - for those lazy days.

• Have a diverse colour range.

• Not settle into any fine lines or pores.

• Be long-lasting.

• Not fade or melt in the hot summer months on my combination skin.

Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation comes in 40 shades, has a natural finish that’s buildable coverage, and is water-proof / sweat-resistant. The coverage level on this foundation is medium and yet I find it looks natural on the skin, not cakey - especially when applied with a makeup sponge.

I had a chance to test the water-proof and sweat-resistant claims at the gym and found that after a sweaty hour-long workout, my makeup was still intact. Even without setting powder!

When it comes to concealer I prefer a full-coverage liquid formula, and Dior nails it with their Backstage Concealer. 

With 22 shades the Dior Backstage Concealer “is a caffeine-infused, radiant concealer that delivers waterproof and crease-proof full coverage.” Basically, everything I want in makeup.
