Dior's lipstick range has long held a coveted position in the makeup world, renowned for its luxurious textures, vibrant pigments, and sophisticated shade selection. Recently, I had the opportunity to try the Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipstick in shade 100, described as "Forever Paris," a bright rosewood. As a makeup artist with years of experience working with a vast array of lipsticks, I'll delve into a comprehensive review, exploring its performance, longevity, and overall value, considering its place within Dior's broader lipstick offerings and comparing it to similar products on the market.
The initial allure of Dior 100, "Forever Paris," lies in its elegant packaging. The classic Dior design, with its sleek, weighty tube, feels luxurious and immediately elevates the application experience. The bullet itself is precisely molded, promising a clean and controlled application. However, my first impression upon swatching "Forever Paris" was a slight confusion. Dior's description of "bright rosewood" felt somewhat ambiguous. While the lipstick does possess a rosewood base, "bright" isn't the word I'd immediately associate with it. It's more of a muted, sophisticated rosewood, leaning slightly towards a dusty rose, particularly on my fair skin. This discrepancy between marketing description and reality is a minor point, but it highlights the subjective nature of color interpretation and the importance of swatching before purchasing, especially considering the Dior lipstick price point.
One of the key selling points of the Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipstick line is, as the name suggests, its transfer-proof formula. And this claim holds true for shade 100. After application, the color sets beautifully, leaving a comfortable, barely-there feeling on the lips. It truly lives up to its "transfer-proof" moniker. I tested it with various beverages – coffee, water, even a quick sip of wine – and experienced minimal transfer. This is a significant advantage for long days, important events, or simply anyone who wants their lipstick to stay put. This aspect positions it favorably among other long-lasting lipsticks, including Christian Dior's other long-lasting lipstick options. The staying power is impressive, lasting for several hours without significant fading or smudging. Even after eating a light meal, the color remained largely intact, requiring only minimal touch-ups. This contrasts sharply with many other lipsticks, particularly those that promise similar longevity but often fall short. The formula feels surprisingly lightweight, avoiding that heavy, drying sensation often associated with long-wearing lipsticks.
