Dior | *NEW* Forever Matte Skincare Foundation: Review and Swatches

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and the product featured was provided for review.

Originally released in 2007, the Dior Forever Foundation Collection saw a few reformulations over the years, with the latest being earlier this year. With the two finishes now available in 42 shades, the Dior Forever Foundation is packaged in a more eco-friendly bottle and contains more skincare ingredients than ever. I've got the full rundown on the Forever Matte Skincare Foundation (C$65 for 30 ml), to read all about it and to see some before and after swatches, click......

Dior | Forever Matte Skincare Foundation

Packaging:

Housed in a bottle made with 15% recycled glass (40% for the Forever Skin Glow version), the Dior Forever Matte Skincare Foundation looks pretty much the same as it did a few years ago, with a minor adjustment to the placement of the silver embossing on the front. The bottle has a classy matte black cap and a standard pump dispenser.

Formulation:

Infused with antioxidant-rich iris extract, refining rose extract, and hydrating pansy extract, the Forever Matte Skincare Foundation has a lightweight but creamy consistency. The lightly scented formulation blends seamlessly onto the skin and sets to a natural matte finish. The coverage is medium but buildable; it's blurring and smoothing without appearing cakey or clingy. The Forever Matte Skincare Foundation wears nicely throughout the day. There's some fading and oxidization but minimal creasing or patching. I would recommend testing the shades in person to make sure the color is a good match after it completely sets. I am wearing "1N Neutral", a light natural beige with a neutral undertone.

To be honest, I can't tell how different this reformulation is compared to the last, which was already amazing if not perfect. It's worth noting, though, that instead of an SPF 35 protection, the reformulation only advertises an SPF of 15, despite containing a higher percentage of sunscreen ingredients. Overall, the Dior Forever Matte Skincare Foundation remains one of my favorite foundations of all time. The lightweight, medium coverage looks so beautiful yet natural, lasting pretty much all day without significant shine or creasing. If you were previously a fan of the Dior Forever Foundation then you will continue to love it and if you have yet to try this holy grail foundation, now is the time!
