Gilly Ferguson,-Contributing Editor

Are these the best highlighters for an out of this world glow?

What is it?

DIOR’s two new liquid highlighters deliver 24 hours of hydration – use solo or together, to make your skin sing.

1. The complexion enhancer: DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter

  • A skincare-makeup hybrid – 24-hour hydrating and 94% natural-origin ingredients formula
  • To illuminate, smooth and blur skin for a long-lasting glow effect
  • Non-comedogenic (so it won’t clog pores)
  • Available in nine shades
  • Multi-use – works best solo (for natural glow) or mixed with DIOR Forever Skin Glow Foundation (to boost radiance)

2. The multi-use highlighter: DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer

  • A highlighter, blush, bronzer and eyeshadow
  • Featherlight and easy to blend
  • Non-comedogenic (so no clogging)
  • 24-hour hydrating and 94% natural-origin ingredients formula
  • Available in six shades
  • Works best with DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter for luminous, long-lasting glow

What will they do for my skin?

Think of DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter as the perfect multi-use glow booster, designed to harmonise tonally with DIOR Forever Skin Glow foundation shades, or worn alone for celebrity-worthy ‘soft-focus’ skin. Glow Star Filter blurs, smooths and brightens the complexion while hydrating skin for 24 hours. 

DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer is your handbag essential – to highlight your best bits, as a luminous ‘blush’ or to sculpt and contour. It’s a real makeup overachiever.

How to apply

DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter

Use a single pump and apply with a brush or your fingers:

  • On bare skin for a natural radiant finish
  • Under or mixed with DIOR Forever Skin Glow Foundation to boost radiance
  • On top of foundation, in touches, to highlight (ie cheekbones and the bridge of the nose)
/

Pair with the DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer

On bare skin or post-foundation – swipe with the applicator and finger-blend to:

  • Highlight Top of cheekbones, centre of eyelids, Cupid’s bow, collarbones, décolletage – for extra shimmery glow, use the pearly shade
  • Blush Apply a rosy or peachy shade to apples of cheeks, swirling to diffuse
  • Bronze Choose a shade one level above your usual tone and apply from the hollow of the cheek to the temples, as well as on either side of the forehead
  • Eyelids Add a few dots to the centre of the lid to make eyes appear bigger or as a wash of colour over the entire area

Do they work?

Verdict

If gorgeous, glowy skin is your thing, you’ll love the new DIOR Forever highlighting duo.

I’ve been using DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter in 2N to boost my winter-ravaged complexion. It’s weightless – your skin, but in its best light – plus non-greasy, so it won’t slide all over your face like some highlighters can. Mixed with foundation for a sheer, dewy finish – this is The One for fuss-free lit-from-within skin. ★★★★

DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer is a game-changer – blendable, buildable and long-wearing – and so versatile that I’ve skipped heavy bronzer altogether, using highlighter to create a fresher, more natural ‘halo’ effect instead. ★★★★★

Honestly? I thought I’d found my number one highlighter, then in strolled DIOR. Together, these glow-giving, line-blurring, silky, soft-focus skin enhancers are a dream team – delivering fuss-free golden-hour glow when my skin needs it most.
