Dior is my
biggest luxury weakness, I mean their packaging truly is luxurious and their
products usually have great textures so they are fun to apply. I also love
Givenchy makeup but for some reason I just cannot resist a little Dior. Today I
have a review of the very unique Dior Airflash CC Primer, an innovative spray-on
face primer.
This primer
contains Photo-Smart Pigments™ and is supposed to even out the skin, color
correct, brighten as well as make your foundation easier to apply and last
longer. A pretty tall order if you ask me. Well good news is, on my skin at
least, it does fulfil most of its promises. The spray is very fine and I can’t
feel it on my face, but results are there. While I don’t see much color
correcting it leaves my skin looking more luminous (like it’s lit from within)
and that brightness does make my skin a bit more even. The effects are not an
in your face glow, it is more subtle while also being slightly blurring. The
Airflash CC Primer gives my face a lovely satin finish that makes applying
foundation over it a dream. The skin feels very soft and smooth with it on. I
also noticed my foundation does last longer when I use the primer even though
it does not offer a lot of shine/oil control.
Another
reason I really enjoy using this is its scent, it just smells amazing! The one
down side of this primer for is that it contains silica, I know most people are
fine with it but my skin does not agree with it (at least it’s seems to be a
common denominator in product that break me out or make my skin bumpy). Because
of this I cannot use it every day but it has not stopped me from spraying it on
for special occasions or when I want a subtle boost of radiance.
Now I
highly recommend testing it out at a Dior counter before purchasing it, because
it is expensive and people seem to be quite divided about it. Is this something
you need in your life? Probably not, but it is a fun product and I do enjoy
using it, so it is worth having a look at if you are looking for something
different from your everyday primer.
The Dior
Airflash CC Primer is available at Dior counters, Sephora and Feelunique.
