In many ways, Dior was my big introduction to high-end beauty products. When I was a kid, I fell in love with the brand’s Hypnotic Poison perfume while browsing my mom’s fashion magazines, and once I was old enough to afford my own fancy makeup, I’d drive myself the hour and a half back to Atlanta from my college town to visit the Dior beauty counter at my favorite mall. Everything about Dior’s cosmetics line delighted me, from the beautiful, elaborate packaging to the candy-colored glosses. The brand was also my gateway drug to luxury skincare products, which my face appreciates but my wallet does not.
A decade later, I’m still a huge fan and regular user of many Dior products, and because beauty rivals handbags when it comes to things I could talk about endlessly, I’ve created a little primer on my favorite products from my all-time favorite beauty brand. Check out my picks below or shop the full line via Dior.com.
Christian Dior Ambre Nuit Parfum
$210 via Dior
Everyone’s familiar with Dior’s most famous and widely available fragrances like Miss Dior and J’Adore, but the brand’s website offers a full complement of the brand’s perfumes, including this warm scent from La Collection Privée.
Dior Addict Lip Glow
$33 via Dior
This balm is one of the most beloved products in Dior’s entire line; it’s moisturizing and nourishing, and beyond that, it also gives your lips the glow the name promises and enhances the natural color of your lips.
Dior Cheek and Lip Glow
$37 via Dior
Because of this product’s double use and easy application, it’s a perfect option to have in your purse for an after-work touchup before dinner
Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara
$29.50 via Dior
Diorshow is a mascara that requires no explanation—it’s that famous and well-regarded. This version provides maximum volume and curl, which really help achieve that false-lashes look.
Dior Eye Reviver Illuminating Neutrals Eye Palette
$62 via Dior
In my opinion, Dior’s eyeshadow palettes are one of the most underrated things about the brand’s entire beauty line. This neutral set gives you tons of versatility in one easy-to-carry package, which makes it another smart pick for traveling or touch-ups in particular.
Dior Hydra Life Pro-Youth Silk Creme
$60 via Dior
Dior Rouge Dior Brillant Lip Gloss
$35 via Dior
This perennially highly rated gloss has a bunch of things working in its favor: a range of wearable everyday colors, a higher color payoff than most glosses
Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer in Junon
$27 via Dior
It’s hard to imagine a nail polish being blue and also being neutral and subtle, but this shade manages to make that all happen in a single, beautiful color.
Dior Diorskin Nude Skin Glowing Makeup SPF15
$50 via Dior
This light to medium coverage foundation gets consistently high marks from reviewers for its natural, dewy finish and ease of everyday wear. Plus, sunscreen!
Dior Diorsnow Global Anti-Spot and Brightening Serum
$165 via Dior
This serum is pricy and it promises to do some things that a lot of products fail to deliver on, but we’re here to tell you the money is worth it because it works. If you have dark spots or discolorations you’re hoping to fade, or even if you’re just hoping to fight unevenness and balance your skin tone overall, this will help.
I’m with you Dior beauty is the BEST. And, when you order online, the packaging is exquisite – it is like buying yourself a present every time.
all so pretty
Now if only Dior made foundations for the truly pale…their lightest foundation is still too dark for pale-skinned redheads like me 🙁
Not bags??
I adore Dior handbags, but I’ve only tried one Dior beauty product—mascara:

Thanks for this wonderful shopping list!
I discovered their their retractable eyeliner a couple years ago and only ever used that after. Unfortunately, their brown one is always out of stock in many duty free and makeup counters around the world. I’m also in love with their BB cream.
I had a full face of Dior make-up applied at Sephora the other day. They have an eyebrow pencil that is HG, almost mimics the tiny eyebrow hairs. Their black-out mascara is amazing, and their eyeshadows are extremely pigmented as well. I was super impressed.
I love Dior Lip Glow and their spray foundation, the foundation is so good! It was a challenge finding the right tint for the foundation though, and I suspect I am using the incorrect shade, because every salesperson gave me a different recommendation. The eyeshadows and blush are for pale skin, just not pigmented enough for me!
Loved this post because I’m also very much a Dior girl, and not by design. Also some of your favorites are mine as well, although they’re rarely talked about in the beauty blogger circles. Love the Lip Glow, have two of their eyeshadow palettes which are the only ones I go back to again and again, current foundation is the DiorSkin Nude, and use the Dior hydra-life on and off. Also am a j’adore fan 🙂
Also really love the Miss Dior Promenade and wish they still made the larger bag version.
