The Dior Summer 2018 makeup collection, Cool Wave, is inspired by “the heat of the sun and an indigo pool”. As we seem to be suddenly in Summer here in the UK, it seems like a perfect day to write about it! Here’s a look at the collection with photos and swatches. Enjoy!

Dior Summer 2018 Cool Wave Swatches

I have a selection from the collection to show you. Here are the photos and swatches.

Cool Down 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette

This is the cool toned edition of the two summer eye palettes. Although these colours aren’t ones I’d use, it’s such a pretty palette with beautifully formulated shadows. I actually really love the deepest tone.

The other palette, Heat Up, has a range of warm tones and is beautiful.

Gold Splash Diorshow Cooling Stick

This eyeshadow stick has a gorgeous cooling texture as you apply it – very similar to the new Bobbi Brown Sparkle sticks but with less glitter. The formula is waterproof, so perfect for Summer. I love the gold shade.

Nude Chill & Pink Drop Dior Addict Lipstick

This is such a great formula and delivers a wonderful juicy lip look thanks to the hydra-gel core.

Pool Blue Dior Addict Lip Maximizer

This is so good! It feels so refreshing and moisturising and instantly makes lips look fuller and enhanced.

It’s very long lasting too.

Dior Vernis in Pow 431

Orange nail polish is my thing, so I’m in love with Pow.

All the nail shades in the collection are bright and playful.

Soft Sunlight Diorskin Mineral Nude Bronze

I love Dior bronzers and this one is just beautiful.

I have shade Soft Sunlight which is perfect for paler skin tones, and with 5 other shades there’s something for everyone.
