Reviewing Dior's Gorgeous Forever Perfect Cushion Foundation
When I received the Dior Forever Perfect Cushion for trial, I had high, high expectations. First off, the *packaging*. Dior consistently delivers on luxury aesthetics, and this limited edition 2020 release was no exception. The sleek, compact case, usually a sophisticated black, often featured a limited edition design that year – possibly a vibrant floral print or a subtly shimmering finish, depending on the specific release. This immediately elevated the product beyond a simple makeup item; it felt like holding a piece of elegant jewelry. The weight was perfect – substantial enough to feel luxurious, but not so heavy as to be cumbersome in a handbag. The mirror inside was large and clear, providing excellent visibility for application on the go. The puff, included with the foundation, was soft and plush, offering a delicate application that didn't disturb the skin. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Dior, and it immediately set a positive tone for the review.
But beyond the beautiful exterior, the real question was: how did the foundation perform? My initial concerns centered around the common issues many cushion foundations face: transfer, longevity, and coverage. Would this luxury product live up to its price point? The answer, after weeks of testing in various conditions, is a resounding "mostly yes."
Coverage and Finish:
The Dior Forever Perfect Cushion, in my experience, offered buildable medium to full coverage. For everyday wear, a single layer provided a natural, even complexion, effectively minimizing the appearance of pores and redness. It blurred imperfections without looking cakey or mask-like, a crucial feature for a cushion foundation. Building up the coverage was easy; layering the foundation didn't result in a heavy, unnatural look. Instead, it provided more intense coverage where needed, such as around blemishes or dark circles. The finish was a beautiful, natural-looking matte. It wasn't completely flat matte, but rather a soft matte that avoided the dreaded "powdery" appearance. This made it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including those with combination or oily skin. However, those with extremely dry skin might find it slightly drying, requiring a more hydrating primer or moisturizer beforehand.
Longevity and Transfer:
This is where the Dior Forever Perfect Cushion truly impressed. While many cushion foundations struggle with longevity, particularly in warmer weather or with oily skin, this one proved surprisingly long-lasting. It lasted comfortably for 6-8 hours with minimal touch-ups required. Even after a long day, the foundation remained relatively intact, with only slight fading around the nose and T-zone. The transfer was also minimal, especially after setting with a light dusting of powder. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want a foundation that can withstand a busy day without constant reapplication.
Hydration and Comfort:
While not explicitly marketed as a hydrating cushion foundation, the Dior Forever Perfect Cushion provided adequate hydration for my combination skin. It didn't feel drying or tight throughout the day. However, as mentioned earlier, individuals with very dry skin may benefit from using a hydrating primer underneath. The formula felt lightweight and comfortable on the skin, not heavy or suffocating. It blended seamlessly and didn't accentuate fine lines or wrinkles, a common concern with heavier foundations.
