I’ve been playing with this foundation for a few days and have been getting on really well. The shade I have is 2N which suits me really well. This post has a close up look at that, along with before and after photos.

I absolutely love the packaging. I think the nude lid looks absolutely beautiful.

My Review of DIOR Forever Natural Nude Foundation

Having tested this for four days now, I can confidently say that I really like this foundation. The finish is lovely and radiant, just how I like it, and the coverage is a good light – medium that perfects the skin but looks really natural and skin-like.

It feels like skincare as I am applying it and it is instantly hydrating and smoothing. It is alcohol free, which is great and also contains Glycerin which is one of my favourite humectant skincare ingredients.

It starts off pretty glowy, but that settles into something that looks a lot like natural radiance. It really just looks like lovely skin.

How it wore

I found this wore beautifully – I tested it without any powder on the first day, with the new FOREVER Setting Spray on the second day, and with the FOREVER Cushion Powder on the third day. Today I have gone back to just to the foundation and the setting mist.

It lasted well in every scenario which I am thrilled with. Everything applies on top flawlessly, with or without any setting. It feels like good skincare, and my skin feels hydrated, fresh and not really like I am wearing makeup.

I absolutely love wearing the Kiss of Copper Blonzer from bareMinerals with it. The combination for me gives the most beautiful juicy look that’s kissed by the sun.

What I really like about this, is that you can layer it up where you want more coverage (for me centre of the face) but it doesn’t look like you have more makeup on. It doesn’t cake up at all. You can keep putting it on, and it still looks like natural skin.

For me, it has a very elastic, flexible finish on the skin which allows it to wear beautifully. Love it!

Your Instagram Questions Answered

I gathered lots of your questions via my Instagram stories. These are the main types of questions that came through. Please feel free to ask any more.

What is the DIOR Forever Natural Nude finish like?

As you’d expect from a product named Natural Nude, this is a natural skin finish foundation. On my combination skin, it gives a lovely natural looking glow, which sets down nicely. It would probably be a touch less dewy if your skin is dry.

What is the coverage?

I would say that this is buildable light-medium natural skin coverage. It perfects, without looking like makeup which I love, and it is very easy to layer without any cakiness.

Is DIOR Forever Natural Nude long-lasting?

I have found it to wear very well and it hasn’t rubbed away in any problem areas. As I said above in my review section – I have tested it with and without setting it (powder and mist – see above) and it has performed well every time.

Is it fragranced?

The DIOR Forever Natural Nude is fragranced and it is noticeable. Although I only really noticed it because I was asked this question so much!

To me, it just smells like DIOR foundation and once applied, I am utterly unaware of any fragrance at all.

How does DIOR Forever Natural Nude compare to other Forever foundations?

I would say that this sits nicely in the middle of the Forever Fluid Foundation and the Forever Skin Glow foundation on a scale of matte to dewy.

Is it hydrating?

This formula is super hydrating and feels like lovely skincare both when you apply it, and also as the day goes on. Even by the end of the day, my skin still looks and feels plump and hydrated.

Does it settle in lines and pores?

I have found it behaves very well in terms of skin texture. It doesn’t emphasise the texture on my skin at all, and it smooths over pores and fine lines without settling into them.

Does DIOR Forever Natural Nude oxidise?

DIOR say, “It takes a few minutes for each shade of foundation to reveal its full intensity on your skin. So be sure to let the formula dry completely after applying to find your perfect match.”

I have to say, I didn’t find that my 2N shade got noticeably deeper at all and although I have used 2N in other Forever foundations before, I feel like this one is my best match yet. Previously 2N has been a touch darker than I would have liked, but that’s definitely not the case with my Natural Nude 2N.

It certainly did not get any darker as the day went on.

Will DIOR Forever Natural Nude work for oily skin?

I feel that if your skin is oily, this may be a little too glowy for you. If you want to try this, I’d recommend setting the t-zone and minimising too many layers of skincare beneath. You could just stick with your serum and skip the moisturiser.

Is it good for mature skin?

I am 46 and I find that DIOR Forever Natural Nude formula works very well on my skin. It softens lines and keeps it very well hydrated.

Is it good for dry skin?

I believe that this formula would be ideal for dry skin.

  • Hi Ree,
    I loved the foundation as well. I have approximately the same skin color as you have, and I bought the 2CR as I have a pink undertone. Is The 2N not too yellow ? I might try that color as well as yellow sometimes neutralizes my pink undertone. What do you think ? Have you tried the 2CR as well ?
    Kind regards,
    Louise

    • Hi there

      I haven’t tried 2CR but this 2N is the best match I’ve ever had with the Dior foundations. Hope that helps? xxx
