New Dior Forever Glow Star Filter & Maximizer

I have a look at some Dior Beauty newness today that I’ve been loving! Dior launched new liquid highlighters and complexion enhancers called the Forever Glow Star Filter ($55 each) & Glow Maximizer ($45 each). They also added some new shades of the Addict Lip Maximizer ($40) which I have a closer look at today.

Dior Forever Glow Star Filter

Dior added a multi-use complexion enhancer called the Forever Glow Star Filter. These are similar in concept to the elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter and Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter – you can wear these on bare skin as a primer, mixed with foundation or applied on top of foundation as a subtle highlight. There are 10 shades available in the Dior lineup. I am usually a 2.5 or 3 in their foundation so I ordered Shade 2 and Shade 3 in the Forever Glow Star Filter.

Both have a very smooth glow to them. The shimmer particles are very fine so so I can wear it all over the face without looking like a disco ball. I will say the degree of shimmer on your skin will depend on what color you pick. Shade 2 is lighter than my skin tone and the brightness/contrast makes it look more glowy on my skin while Shade 3 matches better and has a more subtle glow effect since it’s closer to my skin tone.

Formula is on the medium thin side so it does not feel heavy and it blends in and sets nicely. I wouldn’t say it has a matte dry down but at the same time it’s not super emollient. It’s somewhere in the middle – I think it’s perfect.

Overall love the look, feel and lasting power of the Dior one. The undertones, texture and shimmers are different from the other ones on the market but there are enough similarities I don’t think you need all three. I do really like that the Dior comes with a pump vs a sponge applicator. Seems more sanitary to me. The Dior has fragrance in it, but it’s low on the ingredient list and I don’t really notice it. If I were forced to pick 1 out of the 3 I feel like I would be most inclined to pick the elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter. The shimmer is the most natural making it easy to wear all over the face without emphasizing fine lines or texture even on my bad skin days. (elf Halo Glow filter in action on skin here.)

Forever Glow Maximizer

Dior also added six shades of a more intense liquid highlighter called the Forever Glow Maximizer. I picked up three and really like! These are very shimmery with a good amount of pigment. They are easier to blend than the Rare Beauty Liquid Luminizers but I would say pigment level is pretty close.

Gold is a pretty warm gold shimmer. Peachy is a light peachy champagne. Rosy is a darker pink rose which doubles as a blush for my skin tone. I did find the shades I picked up different from the others in my highlighter stash, but there are some that are pretty close – close enough to be similar on the skin.

New Dior Addict Lip Maximizers

Dior added a few new shades of the Addict Lip Maximizers which seem to be exclusive to Dior.com and I ordered 2 of them. Frosted Pink is a beautiful cool-toned pink shimmer. It’s better than Shimmer Candy (reviewed here) since the shimmer in Frosted Pink is more refined vs straight up frost.

Shimmery Spice is a beautiful peachy copper shimmer with a tiny bit of rose, pink and gold mixed in. I love it. I really love both of them. Both on the lips in action here.

That wraps up my Dior Beauty newness haul review! I really love everything I hauled. I don’t know that I would call the complexion highlighters must haves since there are so many dupes on the market, but I really love the finish, colors and undertones.

I do think the new glosses are must-haves. I think the colors are really beautiful.
