I received this lipstick for free in exchange for my review. I received the shade 999, which is a bright, warm-toned red (it seems to have a subtle cherry scent?). This isn’t typically a color I would choose for myself, but I was pleasantly surprised by how it looked on my complexion (Fenty 380, Maybelline FM 335, Lancome 460, Nars Caracas). I have worn it several times now and I am pretty impressed with the formula. This glides on incredibly smoothly and feels like butter on the lips, though I took off a star because the color seems to apply a little patchy and I had to work to fix it (this is probably less apparent on lips less pigmented than mine).

This glides on incredibly smoothly and feels like butter on the lips, though I took off a star because the color seems to apply a little patchy and I had to work to fix it (this is probably less apparent on lips less pigmented than mine). It took two layers for me to get the full coverage look in my photo. The bullet shape of this lipstick is a little more difficult to use for me personally, but I have been able to manage to apply it neatly all over, including my inner corners with minimal mess. I didn’t experience any feathering but I did try this both with and without a lipliner and preferred the look of it with liner. I did a 12 hour wear test on this and was shocked at how well it held up. I found that the lipstick feels a tiny bit dry during the first few minutes that you put it on, but after it fully sets it is surprisingly comfortable. In my photo (without liner) you can see the difference between when I first applied it and how it looked at the end of the day. It was virtually unchanged except for a bit of it missing along the inner wet/dry line of my lips even in this humid NC 95 degree heat. I had several meals (all fork/knife food, nothing I had to bite into like pizza or a burger), snacks, beverages, and even took a nap and it still looked great. I actually forgot I was wearing it at several points throughout the day because it feels like almost nothing on the lips. I wouldn’t say it’s hydrating, but it also isn’t drying as many matte/soft matte lipsticks are. The black soft matte packaging is also beautiful and it looks great in my makeup holder. I would wholeheartedly recommend this lipstick if you’re into soft matte longwear lipsticks.

I received this Dior lipstick for free from influencer in Dior and exchange. For my honest review. I received the forever nude color. It was a light tan in my eyes. It said a light pink but I was not seeing that. I opened the box and followed the directions of applying and waiting 3 minutes before drinking or eating anything and honestly the lipstick was not transferred to my straw which impressed me right away. It was a matte finish and very full coverage. Most definitely a glided on very smoothly and I felt a little went a long way for the test. I did not reapply all day just to honestly test the product and by the end of the evening I did not need to reapply. It stayed just how it looked from the very beginning. My lips did not look dried out and there were no ... MoreI received this Dior lipstick for free from influencer in Dior and exchange. For my honest review. I received the forever nude color.

My lips did not look dried out and there were no cracks or bleeding from me doing my everyday things and not reapplying which is amazing and honestly impressed me. If I had to pick a complaint about the product it would be so it was such a small tube of lipstick and I wish they had different sizes. Also I'm not a matte lipstick fan so I wish that was glossy but I can deal because there's some things and some days I don't want the gloss. Like I said a little goes a long way so I can deal with the small tube. And also I can deal with the matte finish if you wear lipstick and you like Matte finish I definitely recommend this. It is not only non-transferable but due to sometimes we have no time to reapply with this product you will not have to.

I was so excited to receive Rouge Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipstick in shade 999 from Influencer to try. When I am choosing a shade of lipstick, I always goes for a bright red or deep berry, so this shade was perfect for my taste and goes well with my sun kissed summer complexion. I was so excited to try Forever Transfer-Proof lipstick and it did not disappoint! The color is stunning, pigmented and glides on seamlessly. I love that it’s hydrating and refillable, which reduces waste and is a big plus. An issue I tend to have with my current go-to lipstick is getting it to apply evenly, but the Dior Forever honestly applied evenly without giving it much effort. It doesn’t have a weird taste or smell and feels very lightweight once applied.

It doesn’t have a weird taste or smell and feels very lightweight once applied. This formula would be good for someone sensitive to scents because there is basically none. Once applied I allowed it to dry for 3 minutes and the formula lived up to its name. It did not transfer at all! It did last the 16 hours which surprised me but did come off quickly in the pool which was expected. The transfer resistance is huge for me because I’ve yet to find a tube lipstick that lives up to being completely transfer-proof. If you are looking for a beautiful creamy formula that actually stays put then I highly recommend you give this a try. I plan to purchase the deep berry shade next and make my way down the list of beautiful shades.

I just tried the Rouge Dior forever lipstick, 742 forever sisterhood and here are my thoughts : COLOR: it's a very intense true red, suitable to most skin tones, I thought it was slightly darker from the photo but I like it KISS PROOF: after applying the lipstick I waited 5 minutes and it's 99% kiss proof. It doesn't leave any trace unless you truly try hard to smudge it. WEARABILITY: it's very easy to apply, even for me (I'm not super precise in the application), it leaves the lips feeling moisturised and you almost forget you gave it on. Very light and nourishing. Super comfortable to wear. This is the best feature of thus lipstick in my opinion. PACKAGE : very chic, with the CD initials, the product is less than I expected, the tube containing the lipstick is ... MoreI just tried the Rouge Dior forever lipstick, 742 forever sisterhood and here are my thoughts : COLOR: it's a very intense true red, suitable to most skin tones, I thought it was slightly darker from the photo but I like it KISS PROOF: after applying the lipstick I waited 5 minutes and it's 99% kiss proof.

Super comfortable to wear. This is the best feature of thus lipstick in my opinion. PACKAGE : very chic, with the CD initials, the product is less than I expected, the tube containing the lipstick is small, I would have liked it the standard lipstick size, considering the price tag. I give 4 stars because mine has a little defect, which is annoying and not practical. When I try to retract the lipstick inside the tube it gets stuck and I have to push it to put it back. Not nice to touch it with your fingers all the time, especially if you are outside. From a brand like Dior I would have expected a bit more care in these details. All in all I would recommend it for the wearability, hidrating texture and color.

I received this lipstick sample with my last purchase from Dior. I more often wear the Dior Addict Lip Glow balms as they provide a more glossy and sheer color effect. However, this was definitely a fun and more dramatic switch-up for my look. I originally gravitated towards Dior’s classic nude pink shade “Forever Nude Look,” but ultimately decided to take a risk and go for the warmer nude “Forever Nude Touch” to compliment my auburn red hair. This is a very lightweight and luxuriously pigmented lipstick. I used the adorable and tiny brush included with my sample pack to lightly layer on the pigment with quick, soft strokes, covered one section of lip at a time with buildable color. This lipstick is very matte and packs an impressively pigmented application. While ... MoreI received this lipstick sample with my last purchase from Dior.

This lipstick is very matte and packs an impressively pigmented application. While the nude pink was more of a safe choice, this translated onto my lips almost as a deeply rich, chestnut coral mix. I found this shade to really accentuate the dark features of my brows and lashes, while complimenting the pop of blue of my eyes. The color theory that occurred on my face with this lipstick was a very welcome effect, and I felt that it ultimately made my face a bit more dynamic to look at. I could imagine wearing this with my Dior bronzer, or coral-themed blush. I did prep my lips beforehand using Lip Glow in shade Beige, and I very much recommend you do the same in your Lip Glow shade of choice. I kissed my Hello Kitty compact mirror to check if this was really as transfer-proof as it is touted to be. With a light peck, there was absolutely no transfer. With a bit more pressure, I did see some of the pigment rub off - so keep that in mind. Overall I am impressed with this product. Infused with red peony extract and promising 16 hours of color, your lips are both color enhanced and hydrated - all while feeling bare and traceless. Other shades I’d love to try include the limited edition Forever Tender and Forever Grace. What is your favorite shade?

I really wanted to like this but sadly this lipstick formula would never be my first, nor last choice. I’ve used various Dior makeup products in the past and don’t see the hype. I am an avid makeup user and typically know what to look for in makeup based on which items have a cult following and Dior is one of those brands that just doesn’t live up to the name. I have doubts that their line is actually used on their models backstage. I am also a lipstick fanatic and it is the most important part of makeup to me. I don’t look at price so much as quality so when you weigh the cost factors in Dior makeup it’s a little confusing. So I think the reason for the cult following with Dior products given my experience is solely due to the brand name. I never reach for red ... MoreI really wanted to like this but sadly this lipstick formula would never be my first, nor last choice.

So I think the reason for the cult following with Dior products given my experience is solely due to the brand name. I never reach for red lipstick on my own volition in general but the color was actually quite nice on my skin tone so that was a plus. The formula is a better than Dior liquid lipsticks which were a massive disappointment, but really nothing to write home about. This lipstick is very standard in terms of look and finish. I feel personally as though you could get this exact quality of lipstick from any drug store brand. Therefor I would not recommend this product or ever purchase Dior products on my own in the future. I think you would have much better luck finding a more long lasting, quality finish in this classic/basic red color and many many others that would be a better fit, from other less expensive brands at Sephora and Ulta.

i was thrilled to receive this package despite my usual avoidance of lipsticks. Normally i expect a lipstick to be buildable and breathable but disappear in minutes. I can positively say this lipstick was an exception that i noticed at first swatch. The price-tag is definitely not just for the chic packaging and impressive label (though those are both plusses as well) the quality is the best i’ve tried so far. i think there is only one way to sum up how i feel about this one when compared to others: Dior’s Forever Lipstick is simply built different. After lining my lips with a drugstore lipliner and applying the product, I was impressed with the breathability and lack of dryness despite the completely matte finish. The color was vibrant and perfect for anyone! But ... Morei was thrilled to receive this package despite my usual avoidance of lipsticks.

The color was vibrant and perfect for anyone! But what truly got me was that once it set down completely it did not budge, fade, nor smear at all. I have eaten pizza, dim sum, and had more coffee than probably healthy. This lipstick never transferred onto anything. The kind of power i normally only expect from liquid lips or stains. It remained flawless despite the heat, humidity, and sweat. To the point that i forgot i was wearing any lipstick at all! If i ever find enough money to treat myself and an occasion to do so it might be to another shade in this lipstick range. Truly this is an item i recommend to anyone who struggles with dry lips that dont play well with mattes.

Beautiful color, lasts a bit

I received this product for free from Influenster and Dior in exchange for my honest review. I will start off by saying I was excited to receive this product. Packaging is sleek and beautiful. Lipstick casing isn’t oversized or bulky which allows carrying convenience in a smaller purse, clutch etc. The color is Forever Dior 999, a beautiful Red, very classic and flattering red for all complexions. Application is easy and texture/ feel is smooth. By no means drying to the lips especially considering it’s matte finish.Now as a product that advertises itself as long lasting 16 hrs of coverage, it definitely does not hold up to that claim. Does it last longer than your average lipstick? Sure. But any lipstick can last a while if you’re not eating or drinking or on the ... MoreI received this product for free from Influenster and Dior in exchange for my honest review.

Does it last longer than your average lipstick? Sure. But any lipstick can last a while if you’re not eating or drinking or on the move. And the average lipstick won’t claim to be long lasting. I would say this lasted on me without needing to be reapplied for at least 2 hours. Then from there I went on with my day and regular activities as suggested and had a cup of water and small meal, the lipstick was almost gone.If price pays a factor into your decision to buy a long lasting lipstick, there are definitely cheaper alternatives. However if you do like Dior brand or other luxury brands then the value of this is definitely worth how long it may last you. I will say the part I enjoyed most was how it definitely is moisturizing, which would make me purchases in more colors.

One of the best matte lipsticks

Dior has been killing it with their beauty launches this year, and their lipsticks, like the matte ones, are no exception. I've purchased three of these matte lipsticks so far and suspect there will be more shades I pick up. This is my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.WHAT I LIKE:* Intensely pigmented* Buttery and creamy feel when applied to lips* One swipe to full coverage* Feels comfortable on the lips, though there is a slight dryness* Phenomenal shade range (29 shades through Dior direct)* Sleek packaging - matte black finish with silver detailing* Once it sets, it does a pretty good job of staying on* Very long wearing - I can get in about 5-6 hours with minimal fading, with reapplication, 8-10 hours of ... MoreDior has been killing it with their beauty launches this year, and their lipsticks, like the matte ones, are no exception.

Instructions say to wait 3-minutes after applying but even then, it did transfer a little with pressure* I get a slight tack immediately upon application - not a dealbreaker but I was surprised it was there* There's a light makeup scent to it* Seems on the pricey side, but it's comparable to other luxury brands. From a price per ounce perspective, it's a better deal than other similar lipsticks on the market, both in the luxury category and in the high-end beauty market. Even better during a sale.BUY, BUY, BUY OR BYE-BYE?:* One of the best matte lipsticks on the market.* Highly recommend.* BUY-BUY-BUY!

impressive luxury longwear lippie!

Dior 1st impression. This feels like innovative technology. Applies thinner and with a smoother glide than I anticipated but it’s not silicone or creamy feeling. Slightly sticky when I press my lips together but not uncomfortable. It feels like the lightest liquid lipstick finish but not wet at all. 2nd impression I lined my lips with nyx cherry lip liner but didn’t fill in my lips then i applied 1 even coat of the lipstick and waited 3 minutes before drinking water. It feels like the most comfortable lightweight liquid lipstick I’ve ever tried. Lighter than the NYX lip lingerie xxl liquid lips that I’d pick as my fave liquid lip. It’s not hydrating at all and I made sure to not apply any balm prior to lipstick to ensure maximum longevity; but my lips were feeling a ... MoreDior 1st impression.

It’s not hydrating at all and I made sure to not apply any balm prior to lipstick to ensure maximum longevity; but my lips were feeling a little dry prior to application. There’s no shine it’s a flat velvety matte look and 999 is a very fun bright summery warm orangey leaning tomato red. My lips look smooth so lines aren’t emphasized. I personally wouldn’t reach for such a matte yet comfortable lip product on a daily basis as I prefer a hydrated glowy finish, but this lipstick would be absolutely perfect for a wedding, special event, photoshoot, any special event where you want a statement lip that lasts very well. I ate a meal with olive oil and the inner part of color faded but the outside was still full color. If you’re just drinking it should hold up well but after a meal anticipate touching up. I’m not experiencing any of the initial stickiness upon my 2nd impression that I had with the first and I think it’s because my lips had some balm on them the first time I wiped off prior to putting it on and this time my lips were totally dry beforehand and there is zerooooo stickiness yay! I received complimentary to try out.
