Want to learn how the experts create that perfect backstage look with makeup that looks so natural but probably took lots of products and time to achieve? There’s nothing like learning from the best in the makeup industry and thanks to Dior at Isetan KLCC, customers had the opportunity to see first-hand how they create the backstage look. Presented by Matt Ng together with Mei Lee, they took us on a step-by-step guide but first, let’s see what some of the star products are.
Glow Maximizer is a light-boosting primer which instantly brightens the complexion, sculpts facial contours and amplifies skin’s natural light to create a spectacular glow.
Pore Minimizer is a skin-refining matte primer that mattifies and refines the skin, minimizes pores and smooths fine lines immediately upon application. Its formula evens out the complexion and erases blemishes with a sheer and weightless finish.
Have you ever seen a mascara in such a vivid and bright shade? I think this pop pink is absolutely beautiful and I’d have loved to have tried this on. Its soft and gentle elastomer brush covers the full length and width of the lashes with sensational volume. The bonus : a tip with small bristles to reach even the smallest lashes on the lower lid or outer corners of the eye to perfect the doe eye. Its formula combines the richest waxes with a transparent gel base to lend the colour both radiance and purity. It can be removed using warm water or a cleanser.
It’s not a gloss nor is it a lipstick, it’s a hybrid. Dior Addict Fluid Stick’s enables a flawless application in a single sweep : the high-impact colour and long wear of a classic lipstick, combined with the shine of a gloss, all in a thin film that delivers sensational comfort. Colour and shine come together as one for maximum impact with intense, long-wearing lip stain pigments directly encapsulated in spheres of gloss. Dior Addict Fluid Stick does not contain wax, but water for maximum lightness, an immediate fresh effect and addictive comfort. A pure object of desire : the illusion is maintained until the case is opened and an applicator emerges that is steeped in colour and as precise and easy to use as a lipstick.
Dior Addict completes its range with Dior Addict IT-LINE, a definitively desirable liner. Pure colour, intense shine and high performance are brought together in an exclusive extremely smooth gel formula. Rinseable, like the mascara, it can be removed using warm water or a classic cleanser.
Mei Lee begins by spraying Hydra Life Moist + Fix.
On with Hydra Life Youth Essential Hydrating Essence-In-Base SPF 15 which enables skin to be ready for makeup.
Apply Glow Maximizer before foundation.
Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen for the under-eye area significantly improves the appearance of shadows, fine lines, and imperfections. Can also be used as a highlighter for Cupid’s bow, nose and high planes of face.
Dior Forever Compact Powder – the 1st invisible pressed powder by Dior which refreshes makeup in an instant and remains imperceptible even after several touch-ups, for a fresh and matte complexion all day long. Its ultra-fine and transparent texture instantly blends with the foundation, perfecting the skin while remaining invisible, and extends foundation hold by 4 hours. Highly carrying for the skin, Diorskin Forever Pressed Powder is enriched with a Hydrating Agent to offer extreme comfort all-day-long. The powder also acts as a protecting shield, preserving the skin from pollution and free radicals, even in the most unfriendly environments. The skin is protected, and the complexion remains flawless and radiant throughout the day.
Best to apply Forever powder with a brush. The powder absorbs excess oil.
This is an interesting tip – combine a bit of Glow Maximizer with powder eye shadows for a creamy finish. Here, Glow Maximizer is combined with 324 5 Colour eye shadow palette. This helps the eye shadow be longer lasting and stay creaseless.
It works! I am slightly tempted to get a Glow Maximizer to try out on all my powder shadows.
Diorshow Art Pen boasts a felt-tip applicator and a gel-like texture, this liner smoothly delivers the clean, precise and intense line of professionals.
Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum – this unprecedented mascara base combines powerful lash treatment benefits with the enhancing effect of mascara. This is the first Dior serum base with a full lash-boosting effect that works both instantly and day after day. Instantly, its unique formula works like an incredible replumping coat to thicken the lashes. Lashes are immediately curled, thickened, lengthened and ideally prepared to magnify the effect of the mascara and maximize its hold.
Diorshow Iconic – a Dior exclusive innovation for a revolutionary oblique brush. The incredibly soft elastomer brush features slanted bristles to capture each lash one by one. In one quick stroke, with no special application method necessary, the brush acts like a brushing on lashes. Enriched with a unique lifting formula, Diorshow Iconic sculpts, stretches and curves the lashes with extreme hold and high definition.
On cheeks, Mei Lee applies Rosy Glow Blush.
