Pick or Skip: Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush

When it comes to high-end makeup brands, Dior is definitely at the top of the list. Their Backstage Rosy Glow Blush has been gaining a ton of attention on TikTok. It promises to give you a natural, healthy-looking flush that lasts all day. But is it worth the hype? Let's find out!

First Impressions

The Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush comes in a sleek, silver compact with the iconic Dior logo on the front. The blush itself had a soft, powdery texture and a delicate rosy hue.

Color Payoff

While the color of the blush is undeniably pretty, we found that it didn't translate as well on the skin as we had hoped. The shade was very light, and we had to apply multiple layers to get any sort of noticeable color. Even then, the blush faded quickly throughout the day, leaving us with a barely-there flush.

Formula & Application

The formula of the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush is advertised as being long-lasting and buildable. However, we found that it had a tendency to cake up on the skin, especially if we tried to layer it. It also emphasized any dry patches on the skin. When it came to applying the blush, we found that the formula was quite powdery and tended to kick up a lot of product. This made it difficult to apply evenly, and we often found ourselves with uneven patches of color on our cheeks. 

Value

At $40 for a 4.5g compact, the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush is definitely on the pricey side. While the packaging is beautiful and the brand name is certainly a draw, we don't feel that the quality of the product justifies the cost.

Final Verdict

Unfortunately, we have to skip the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush. While the packaging is lovely and the concept is sound, the formula falls short in terms of pigmentation, application, and longevity. Additionally, the high price point makes it difficult to justify purchasing this product over other more affordable, high-quality blushes on the market. So if you're in the market for a new blush, we recommend giving this one a pass.
