The Story of the Dior Lipstick and the Famous Women Who Represented It

The giant fashion house of Christian Dior is a modern brand that boasts an incredible, rich fashion history and timeless designs. From its very beginning in Paris to its gradual expansion to the global level, Dior has never stopped surprising its customer with their magical collections and innovative approaches to fashion.

In 1955, Dior opened the Grande Boutique, a fancy boutique shop between Avenue Montaigne and Rue François ler. That year also marked the launch of the very first Dior lipstick. Ever since then, the company has never ceased to amaze women with their lipstick releases. Lipstick is one of those items that is undeniably feminine. Countless women of all nationalities, backgrounds, income levels and social status’ wear lipstick work, to feel pretty for their significant other, or just to feel good about themselves! Dior lipstick has become a household product because of its quality and long-lasting reliability to stay on your lips and keep you looking flawless for hours at a time.

 

Dior Addict Lipstick – Jennifer Lawrence & Kate Moss

 

Women who dream of the perfect shiny pout used to have to apply lipstick and then a second coat of gloss. Those days are gone, since Dior researchers claim to have invented the most ‘technologically advanced’ cosmetic product that meets the two needs at once.

 

 

Launched in the fall of 2015, the Addict Lipstick soon became one of the best sellers of this make-up giant, Dior. The collection presents a line of lip gloss within a standard lipstick. The result is a shiny, moisturizing gel core that combines with a traditional lipstick outer layer. The application is simple and satisfying.

Adding 35 shades to the Dior lipstick line, Jennifer Lawrence was featured as the headliner of the campaign and the basic price started at £26.50 in Britain. According to Dior experts, they spent about 12 months in the laboratory trying to perfect the two separate formulas that make up the final product that is available for purchase. When you apply it on your lips, the moisturizing hydra gel core melts into the more traditional lipstick outer layer and leaves you with a super glossy look.

 

 

Dior says the lipstick features a fluidity that ensures you can easily glide it onto the lips. In other words, this was the first time when women were finally able to save money and time by buying a single cosmetic product instead of two (a lipstick and a gloss).

According to the trials conducted on 30 women in 2015, around three quarters said they were happy with how their lips softer and seemed more voluminous after four weeks of regular use.

 

Dior Rouge Lipstick – Natalie Portman & Monica Bellucci

 

The first formula for Dior Rouge Lipstick was launched in 2006, with Monica Bellucci as the face of the collection. The sultry Italian model and actress promoted Rouge Dior as a long-lasting, smooth lipstick. The ingredients are meant to moisturize, soothe, and protect your lips with a creamy and soft texture.

The Rouge line promises maximum comfort for all women. Meanwhile, the 2006 collection seemed to offer an endless range of trendy and creative colors that made it incredibly easy to find the ideal lip shade. But things got even better last year, when Dior decided it was time for a do-over.

 

 

So, in 2016, Dior released a new formula for Dior Rouge Lipstick. The revamped collection brought 35 luxe satin and 15 long-wearing matte formulas launched in five different categories of shades. By now you’re probably familiar with “Iconic Reds,” “Natural Nudes,” “Stunning Pinks,” “Splendid Corals,” and the street-style “Extreme Mattes.”

One of the best things about the new collection was the fact that #999 made a comeback in a pure matte finish. This lipstick is the modern reincarnation of Christian Dior’s original and oh-so-iconic #9 shade, which took color cues from the designer’s red couture dresses.

The new formula introduced 32 couture signature shades, providing your lips with full coverage and a superb satin finish. The innovative collection also boasted the addition of a marine crista extract that encourages cellular renewal, as well as hyaluronic acid for the plump feeling and moisturizing of the lips.

 

Dior’s Newest Lip Stain

In 2018, Dior launched a new line of lip stains, called the Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge lip stains. This is a lipstick that becomes a lip stain as you wear it. It is described as a “weightless, colored film” on your lips, and has a semi-matte finish. This will give you decent coverage without leaving your lips feeling dry or heavy.

This formula is much like an overprint, and is as close as you could get to tattooing your lips without actually tattooing your lips.

There are currently 25 shades available in the Ultra Rouge lipsticks, ranging from a soft nude to an orange tone to a bright pink.

Additionally, there are 12 shades of Rouge Dior Ink Liners. These are liquid lip liners that can be used under lipstick or on their own.

Finally, to round out the collection, there were two new nail polish shades released as part of the Dior Rouge Ultra Rouge line.
