If there’s one foundation I could confidently put my entire career on the line for, it’s Dior Forever. There you go…I said it. And before you roll your eyes thinking this is just another overhyped luxury base - hear me out. I’ve used this foundation for longer than I can remember, and even though formulas have come and gone in my kit, this one has never left. The reason is because it works on everyone.
Dior Forever isn’t just one foundation. It’s actually two - the Glow and the Matte. Think of them as sisters with different personalities. Same DNA, but one thrives in radiant, dewy light while the other keeps things smooth, polished, and shine-free.
Choosing between them is just a matter of preference, because the finish you go for depends on your skin type as much as what finish you prefer.
Glow vs. Matte - Which Is For You?
Dior Forever Glow: This version gives skin a luminous, fresh finish. It’s perfect if your skin leans towards dry, normal, or mature. The formula gives life back to dull complexions and softens fine lines with a beautiful light-reflecting finish. If your skin feels tight, flat, or you want that lit-from-within look without looking greasy, this is the one to go for.
Dior Forever Matte: This isn’t that old-school flat matte type of finish. It’s a soft, velvety finish that controls shine without suffocating your skin. Ideal for oily or combination skin types, or if you live in a hot, humid climate (I live in Dubai, so I know what I’m talking about). It holds up beautifully throughout the day, resisting that awful midday meltdown.
