When it comes to luxury beauty products, Dior Beauty is definitely high on the list.

I’ve been using the luxury brand’s makeup and skincare products for years now and love the attention to detail and glamorous features of the items.  I always get really excited when they release new products and recently the brand sent over a shopping bag of goodies featuring some new products for summer 2021.

Every year they come out with a few limited-edition products, including new combinations in their 5 Couleurs palettes.  For summer 2021 they have released the Summer Dune collection, which is two different palettes set in earth tone neutrals.

These palettes (C$76), which feature five eyeshadows, are modelled after the warm and golden shimmer of the sun and range from golds to bronzes to champagnes.  The texture of the shadows is shaped like sand, which makes for an eye-catching palette once opened.  There are two palettes available, Mirage (gold and copper shades) and Dune (bronze and gold shades).

Now since I’m a neutral girl, these spoke to me right away.  I love the shade range and the really cool detail that went into these palettes. I will say though that I don’t particularly find Dior’s eyeshadows to be that pigmented, so these are on the lighter side when you apply them, which is a little disappointing considering the price point. Then again, it is Dior so you really are paying for the brand and the craftsmanship that goes into these palettes.  If you love Dior makeup and into neutral colours, then I highly recommend you pick up one of these palettes. These are such wearable colours and I do have to say that it is my favourite colour combo they have released yet in their eyeshadow line.

Make sure you pair your eye look with a good statement brow.  Try out their Diorshow Kabuki Brow Styler (C$40). This retractable brow pencil, available in six shades, is perfect for shaping the brows and adding dimension.

One side features the brand’s first brow pencil with a triangular tip and the other end has a kabuki brush to brush everything in place.

Now I am pretty picky with my brow products. Some are really nice and creamy and others are too dry. This one is actually pretty good and the product just glides on the skin to create a statement brow.  Dior promises a 12-hour wear and best of all, the formula is waterproof, making it perfect for the summer months when you are at the pool or beach (or just sweating it out in the heat).

Although the tip is triangular, it is still angled and it creates an accurate application that looks natural. The formula also contains wax so it is set in place and won’t budge or move. As for the brush, it is comb-like brush (similar to the ones that Fenty Beauty uses), which makes it easy to comb through your brows, allowing for a more natural and blended brow look.

Now that your brows are all set for the pool, you need to keep your lashes in check too. Thankfully, they have a waterproof formula of their Diorshow Iconic Overcurl mascara (C$37). This cult-classic mascara lifts lashes to make them fuller looking and larger.  It features a curved brush that defines and coats lashes, ensuring that every lash gets the Dior treatment.

This waterproof formula is perfect for summer and will ensure that there is no smudging for 24 hours.  The formula is infused with cotton nectar so lashes appear nourished, revitalized, stronger, and softer.

i have their original Iconic Overcurl as well and enjoy how it makes my lashes look.  I have been on the hunt for a waterproof mascara so this came just in time since I’ve been spending most of my time outdoors near the pool.  With this mascara, I get the same Iconic Overcurl effect, without any smudging or budging.

For a more noticeable lash look, pair it with their Diorshow Maximizer 3D (C$37), which is a mascara primer serum that helps to boost mascara’s performance, and with regular use, improve your lashes appearance.

Apply this before your mascara and the formula will help with volume, curl, and length instantly for up to 24 hours. It will also help with making your lashes stronger, smoother, and more supple. If you are a regular eye makeup user, I highly recommend picking this product up and using it underneath your mascara.

Finally, to give you your best skin yet, sweep on some of the Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder (C$50), which is part of their professional makeup line.  Available in 10 shades, this powder helps to create an even and matte complexion that still looks healthy and luminous.  It will help to set makeup for all-day wear and won’t leave a powdery finish.  Skin looks smooth with no visible imperfections or shine.  It also helps with blurring any pores for a more even complexion.

You can use this powder alone or on top of makeup to set it.  I love throwing this powder in my bag for touchups on the go, as well as for setting my makeup (plus the compact is so cute too).  This powder is also great for men since it doesn’t really leave any colour to the face, so if you suffer from oily skin or need something to smooth our your complexion, this should right up your alley.

Overall I really love this collection and love the shade range and how wonderful everything looks when applied. My favourite items are the brow products and the Dior Backstage powder since it’s an item that you can wear everyday, but everything is so perfect for the summer season right now and already after two weeks of having these products, everything has gotten a ton of wear.

Have you picked up any of Dior’s summer beauty products?
