Dior airbrushed skin

A while ago I read Le Beauty Girl's blog which featured a post on Dior'sAirbrush foundation spray, £33 (check out Isis's blog post here) and I was sold immediately.

The girl at the Dior counter raved about it. She told me if she was getting married, she’d wear this on her wedding day for the photos, it's that good.

We all want perfect skin, especially in photos from that big night out as they always make their way onto Facebook...

The reason this spray is so great for photos is because it has no SPF in it. No SPF means so flash-back from the camera. Now, SPF during the day I always wear, however once the sun has gone down, this stuff is incredible for creating that air-brushed appearance.

The application takes a little bit of practice however.

I apply a good skin primer first, either Smashbox Photo FinishPrimer or Benefit’s Porefessional with a MAC 130 brush. 

Then I’d advise putting a couple of pieces of kitchen towel or toilet paper around your décolletage so the spray doesn't get on any of your clothes.

Be careful around the hair line aswell :)

Standing in front of the mirror shake the can and spray in a side to side action moving down your face – be sparing as only a little of this stuff works wonders. I am quite fair and so was matched to shade 200 light beige.

I then check the spray hasn't caught in areas like eyebrows and around the eyes – this is remedied by buffing the spray in with the MAC 130 brush.

I set it in place with a VERY light dusting of MAC mineralise powder in Medium.

No makeup (you can see visible pores)

With Dior Airbrush (notice the pores are less noticable!)

It’s not an everyday foundation – I’d save it for a night out or special occasion when you need that extra bit of coverage.

Pros:

Flawless skin (pores, spots, everything is blended and hidden)

Skin looks airbrushed in photographs

Cons:

Tricky to apply!
Expensive
If not applied well it can look too cakey.

Have you tried this product? What do you think of it?
