Dior Diorskin Nude Tan Tie Dye Edition Blush Harmony in 001 Pink Sunrise and 002 Coral Sunset

A couple months ago, Dior released their Summer 2015 collection called Tie Dye, which is inspired by — you guessed it — tie dye: "Luminous and vibrant, colours blend together in Tie Dye makeup for summer. Electrified by the rays of the sun, pigments stretch and swirl in captivating colour gradations." It's been a long time since a Dior colour collection has captured my attention, but at the mere sight of these blushes, I knew I had to snatch them up. I got these blushes during the week of the collection launch two months ago, so I realize this review is going up pretty late in the game... but I figured since they're still available for purchase (not necessarily in-store because most locations will have sold out by now, but it is still available online on Dior's website, as well as Hudson's Bay and Nordstrom), it was still worth posting. The Diorskin Nude Tan powders come in round metallic silver mirrored compacts with a cannage pattern embossed on the lid, and also comes with a travel size kabuki brush and a navy velvet pouch. Each blush contains 10 grams of product, and retails for $59.

001 Pink Sunrise
002 Coral Sunset
001 Pink Sunrise and 002 Coral Sunset

001 Pink Sunrise is a mélange of mauve pink, coral pink, peachy beige, and ivory. When blended together, it creates a light-medium muted cool-toned rose pink in a satin finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is lighter than MAC Dame, darker than MAC Well Dressed, more muted than Makeup Geek Head Over Heels, darker and less metallic than Becca Gypsy, and lighter than Clinique Heather Pop.

002 Coral Sunset is a mélange of marigold, tangerine, melon coral, and cream. When blended together, it creates a medium brightened peachy orange in a satin finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is darker than Peaches, more orange than MAC Melba, lighter than Makeup Geek Summer Fling, less metallic and more orange than Becca Damselfly, and brighter and more orange than Clinique Peach Pop.

I've always been a fan of Dior's Diorskin Nude Tan powders; they're incredibly smooth and finely-milled, with a silky, ultra-blendable application that looks soft, natural, and subtly luminous on the skin. These two blushes are no exception, and both shades perform beautifully. They add just the right amount of colour to the cheeks: Pink Sunrise will brighten up fair to medium complexions, and Coral Sunset will add a sunny glow to medium to tan complexions. The multi-coloured tie dye pattern of the blushes is an adorable touch, and will make these must-haves for LE collectors out there. There are plenty of dupes out there, yes, but there is something about these compacts that are just ultra luxurious to hold. They've got serious weight to them, and the cannage pattern is a really chic touch that brings it to the next level; these are compacts you want to show off in public. If you can get over the hefty price point, these blushes are really, truly gorgeous options, and by far the stars of Dior's summer collection.
