[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] And so to the £32 version! We are in a different formulation league with Dior Lip Glow compared to Catrice Melt & Shine. Dior 8 is a complementary shade to the iconic 999 colour known as the Dior Red. This red carries a brickish element – maybe we could say a pared back red – which is ideal for anyone who can’t take a full-on scarlet, especially in this wash-of-colour format.

Dior 8

Dior are proud of their 97% natural origin ingredient list that includes shea, sunflower and rice wax with cherry oil, which has a similar composition to that of our natural lip lipids so that’s why it feels so comfortable. I mean, as soon as it’s on the lips, it feels like it is supposed to be there. I featured the Strawberry shade which is more pink in tone, last week so I’m happy to have another shade of Lip Glow because they’re so easy to wear.

This red has some visceral elements to it I think – there used to be a make up brand (maybe there still is), and I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it, that took inspiration from colours found on/in the body whether it be blood, bruises, dark circles etc, and to me Dior 8 would fall into that category. Oh, I’ve remembered – Ellis Faas.

And here’s how it looks. The sheen is good, comfort level is high and colour, with my self tan, looks great. If you’re red-shy, this would be a good colour for you because is so transparent. You can find Dior 8 at Escentual for £32 HERE.
