Here’s the draw of a matte complexion: the shine-free finish gives the appearance of flawless skin. However, it can also leave your skin looking lackluster and flat if you don’t pair it with a pop of colour. So take a cue from the models on Dior’s Spring/Summer 2016 runway, and pair a matte visage with a brilliant glossy lip for a head-turning contrast. Here, my latest picks for nailing the look.
Dior Dior Addict Ultra-gloss, $47.
This shiny lip gloss not only adds a pop of colour but also brightens up the complexion. Formulated with lip-plumping hyaluronic acid spheres to impart shine, it leaves a non-sticky, comfortable finish. In 18 colours.
Dior Diorskin Forever & Ever Wear Extreme Perfection & Hold Makeup Base SPF20/PA++, $70.
This weightless primer diminishes the look of pores for a smoother complexion and helps foundation last longer. It has a silky finish that lasts all day, and prevented my skin from looking greasy – even after an hour in the hot sun.
Dior Diorskin Forever Fluid Foundation, $82.
While some matte foundations sit on top of the skin, this one melts into it – much like skincare does – giving your complexion a flawless appearance while keeping shine at bay. It leaves a lasting, natural-looking velvety finish.
Dior Diorskin Forever & Ever Control Loose Powder, $80.
Set your makeup with this ultra-fine powder that doesn’t cake, settle in pores or dry out the skin. I’d recommend using this only on shine-prone areas to prevent an overly matte look. Bonus: it comes with a handy kabuki brush for easy touch-ups.
