Normandy-born Christian Dior founded his eponymous label in 1947 and quickly became one of the most influential designers of the century. Dior's first perfume, Miss Dior, evolved into an entire line of skin care, fragrance and cosmetics that express a timeless devotion to sensual femininity. Sunglasses add to the brand's reputation of providing luxury without compromise.
I have oily skin and I carry this in my purse for oil blotting touch ups because I prefer loose powder over pressed and there is no overspill of powder from this container. The container is very high end and nice. You can also remove the powder portion and refill it with your own powder. I tried this yesterday to see if it could be removed and I love the convenience of this compact/container. I purchased the light. The fair was way too light and I have very fair skin. For reference I am an NC20 in MAC Studio Fix Pressed Powder Foundation.

I don’t understand….
This was not AT ALL what I expected it to be, according to the description. The description does say it’s a “loose powder” and shows a screen over it to help minimize powder getting all over the place, so that was expected; however, the description also says it’s “translucent”, but also provides “coverage”, and this powder provides no “coverage” whatsoever, plus I ordered the “fair”, which is the lightest color available, but the powder color, both in the compact itself and on my face, is way darker than the “fair” color pictured online in the description. It’s way darker than I expected or wanted, the tone/base color is nowhere near how it is pictured online, and oddly enough, even though the color is way darker, when you spread it out on your face, it still does not provide any coverage at all, or even out your skin tone at all.
Yes, it does take away shine, in fact, it feels too drying, like you are putting talc or kaolin clay (in powdered form) on your face, and even burns a little, which is also an unwelcome and unexpected surprise.
I’ve used CD products in the past, and although they are always quite pricey, I’ve felt they were very nice in quality and design….enough to justify the high price? Perhaps not, but still, a nice and quality “luxury” product, but I’m sorry to say that this one was an utter “failure”, both in quality and price. I cannot recommend this powder to anyone, unless all you are looking for is a loose powder to take away the shine on your face, and if that is your goal, I would recommend purchasing a much cheaper alternative you could purchase at any target, Walmart, or drug store like Rite Aid or CVS, such as the old “Cody Loose Powder”. While the Cody face powder is not in a compact form, nor is the container as “fancy” (the Cody powder comes in a round cardboard container with a nice design on it) as the CD compact powder, it will do the job of eliminating shine, has a similar feel of talcum powder on your face as this CD powder, and costs approximately 1/12th of the price of this CD compact powder.
Very disappointed in CD…..will, most definitely, be returning.
Hope this helps someone else from making the same mistake I did in ordering it, and will definitely save you much valued/needed time and money in the time it will take you to return this, not to mention the, in my opinion, way inflated price, especially considering its disappointing and misleading performance.

love the powder
I would say the packaging is sold me at first but then the quality of powder is good. I love this powder. I use it on top of Chanel water fresh tint foundation. My skin look flawless. I’m glad I found a the perfect combination.

Super fragrant loose powder
I took fair and it's not so light as porcelain, Dior is always darker than just color name says. So always go to the lighter shade, what i exactly did. Amazing pack with super light fragrant.

Great setting powder
I wear Tawny in Estee Lauder Double Wear light, and thought Light would be the correct color for me. However, I found that Fair works perfectly and is not too light at all. Light was too dark and came off a bit orangey on me. I have more yellow/olive toned skin. This does not settle into lines and looks beautiful on. Highly recommended.

Top Marks For My New Favourite
Use as a finishing powder over liquid makeup and imperfections disappear. Elegant packaging with puff and mirror. I’m going to purchase another, just for peace of mind. It’s really that lovely.
