Prep, Set, Done: This Is What A 24-Hour Base Looks Like
Distilled from years backstage at runways and red carpets, Dior Forever’s new primers and setting powder complete your base routine – and three limited-edition cushion cases inspired by Jonathan Anderson make it worth showing off.
By F ZINE STAFF,
A flawless complexion isn’t built in a single step. Like getting dressed, the best looks come from thoughtful layering – from what goes underneath to what seals everything in place.
After reinventing its iconic foundations, Dior Beauty is giving the rest of your base routine the same attention, with two new primers and a setting powder, developed through creative and image director Peter Philips’ years behind the scenes at runway shows, photoshoots and red carpets.
Think of them as the support cast behind a really good skin day.
What Dior Forever Skin Veil and Velvet Veil do
Dior Forever Skin Veil pairs pink-toned pigments with light-reflecting pearls to create a lit-from-within glow that looks effortless.
The first step comes down to a choice: glow or matte.
If your idea of great skin involves looking like you’ve just come back from a facial, Dior Forever Skin Veil is your go-to. It combines four translucent pink-toned pigments with light-reflecting pearlescence for a tone-up effect, while hyaluronic acid keeps skin hydrated for 24 hours. Glow, but lit-from-within.
Prefer your makeup with a little less shine? Enter Dior Forever’s Velvet Veil. The pale apricot gel smooths the look of pores, controls excess oil and keeps everything looking fresh – particularly welcome in Singapore’s humidity.
Both primers are 4-in-1 formulas – serum, cream, makeup base and SPF – making great skin look considerably less complicated.
How Dior Forever On Set Powder works
Dior Forever On Set Powder delivers a soft-focus, “powder-no-powder” finish that blurs, sets and perfects without looking cakey.
If your makeup tends to disappear by lunchtime, Dior Forever’s On Set Powder is what’s missing.
Available in six shades, it sets makeup without adding any visible weight. Spherical powders and sheet-like platelet powders work together to blur, smooth and extend foundation wear for up to 24 hours.
Dior Beauty calls it a “powder-no-powder” finish, which tracks, especially since hyaluronic acid is also infused into the powder itself to keep the skin feeling comfortable for 12 hours.
The Dior Forever cushion cases inspired by Jonathan Anderson
Of course, Dior couldn’t stop at the formulas.
The limited-edition Dior Forever cushion cases are inspired by Jonathan Anderson’s first collection for the House and feel just as collectible as they do practical – the kind of beauty accessories made to be left on your vanity.
The cushion cases also offer a glimpse into Anderson’s vision for Dior – one that balances the House’s couture heritage with a fresh, youthful sense of whimsy.
Inspired by Jonathan Anderson’s first collection for Dior, the Pink Bow cushion case pairs the House’s iconic cannage motif with a delicate bow detail for a touch of timeless elegance.
The Pink Bow pairs baby pink with the iconic cannage motif and a delicate bow inspired by the Lady Dior bag.
The Flowery Bow and Blue Bow cushion cases are proof that your makeup compact can be just as cute as your outfit.
For something softer and more romantic, the Flowery Bow features embroidered tulips and doves drawn from the Dioramour pattern.
Then there’s the Blue Bow – a baby blue satin moiré design that might just be the most covetable of the trio.
All three feature the new Bow ornament, a miniature Dior signature that ties the collection together and proves that sometimes the best accessories come with SPF.
Dior Forever is available at all Dior Beauty boutiques and counters, as well as on the Dior Online Boutique.
