In my never-ending quest for the ultimate "no-makeup-makeup
base", I have kissed a lot of frogs. And by frogs, I mean bases that promise a
skin-like finish and don’t deliver. They end up looking cakey, flaky, and
unnatural.
I am happy to say that the Dior Dreamskin Perfect Skin Cushion is not one
of these disappointing bases. It's billed as the last step of your skincare routine and provides natural-looking, barely-there
coverage. The coverage is light, but evens out the skin tone nicely. I have a
lot of redness on my cheeks, and it doesn’t fully neutralize that—but to be
honest, almost nothing can (read more about my rosacea story here). This would
be a great base for those days when you want flawless skin and don’t mind doing
a bit of spot concealing to cover up those areas not disguised by the Dior
compact.
There are a few things to bear in mind when considering this
product. For one, although it has SPF 50, it’s definitely safer to layer a
sunscreen product underneath. Secondly, it’s difficult to build this product to
a higher coverage. I find on the second layer, it starts looking cakey really
quickly—which is very disappointing given how natural and dewy just one layer
looks on the skin.
