I definitely won't buy it again! It's the worst high end product I've used in term of foundation! It provides no coverage and has no stay power at all, plus, the shade is so strange (I got it in #200). I have no idea why I paid 40 Euro for such a horrible product...!

I got a 200 shade but it is so orange! Seriously I don´t understand who has this kind of skin shade! I look like with a bad tan!
The texture is strange, it is sort of sticky. From the products I´ve used it is sort of average when it comes to matting but it is not worth the money. I got as a gift True Match by L´oreál and it outcomes Dior by performance and price by far.

This product is everything but ultra mat. All the shades are perfect(for my nc 30 complexion the shade 300 is a good much),has an odd,thin,watery texture that doesn't blend very easily because It drys very fast.Anyway even If you manage to apply it evenly wont stay matte long.Has very nice healthy non powdery finish that wont last long at least on me doesn't last long,after a while I look shiny and oily.The coverage is sheer-medium.Looks natural not heavy has average staying power,and funky scent.And I break out when I m using this product daily because of the silicons.I don't like this foundation this much mostly because of the low coverage.This is a mediocre option for combination-normal skins INGREDIENTS:Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Talc, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Stearic Acid, Cellulose, Alumina, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate, Chlorphenesin, Methylparaben, Fragrance, Silica, Propylene Carbonate, Tetrasodium Edta, Aluminium Hydroxide, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Coumarin, Limonene, Geraniol, Ci 77019/Mica, Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide, Ci 77492/Ci 77491/Ci 77499/Iron Oxides

I had this is 200, but it still seemed so orangey to me!
This does not control oil, so I got dissapointed because they said it really does control oil well..
I wanted to love this foundation, but like most of Dior foundations,unfortunately this one is also not for me.

i wanted a mattifying foundation so i was recommended this by a dior consultant, after being colour (mis)matched i bought this product trusting it would be worth it, but instead i was left with a piglet pink (wrong) shade, and a super glossy finish complete with sweaty feel. i returned this and was advised to get dior icone instead, its not too bad more mattifying but doesnt last very long over pores.

I wasn’t sure about this product but I thought I would give it a try. I have used the Dior compact powder ultra mat for a while now and I thought the liquid foundation would provide more cover. It blends easily on the skin but doesn’t provide a beautiful glow. It looks mat but that only lasts for an hour or two. After two hours my forehead started to shine and it only got worse. I am definitely not satisfied with this foundation and already regret having bought it... It’s pretty expensive and is not worth the money. Color is good, substance is good but no oil-control at all and that is what I needed most.

This foundation looks natural but does not control oil! It required constant powder touch-ups throughout the day and deteriorated in oilier areas. For the price, I expected better. Hopefully I can return it. Back to my trusty Teinte Idole.

I love this foundation! It's super lightweight but still provides good coverage, and I really liked the matte finish. Also I find I don't have to use very much at all because it spreads very well. #100 is also an excellent shade for super white pasties like me - it's pale without being that sickly pink colour most light foundations are. The packaging is classy, and I love the pump top! I will definitely repurchase if and when I ever run out - but looking at the reviews, YMMV.

I'm currently using a sample of this foundation. So far so good. Has good coverage, colour 200 light beige is a preety good match to my fair, yellow-based skin. I've given up finding a foundation that will control shine on my t-zone all day... it just isn't going to happen. At least with this foundation, by lunchtime I can see shine, but the makeup doesn't go all slippery and come off. It is able to be touched up easily without looking cakey. So many others I've tried perhaps don't show the shine so much, but the texture turns slippery and wipes off...impossible to touch up. Teamed up with diorskin pressed powder in 601 Transparent this is about as close to perfect I think I'm going to get.
Washes off easily with the new Dior rinse-off cleansing foam for oily-combo skin. Will update when I've tried it for longer.
Update: Decided it's not really that great for the price. Skin still oily and pimply. Now using Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser and loving it.

at first I liked it, but after 1 week of using it, I was dissapointed. Obviously, my skin doesn't love Dior liquids (it's the second Dior liquid, that was kinda too heavy for me and didn't mattify at all).
My skin is not that oily, but this liquid tended to make me look like a disco ball.
I didn't like the texture and color range- the lightest shade is kinda too orange (I am yellow toned).

I really like this foundation but there are some flaws to it. What I like is that it goes on sooo smoothly, evens out all lines and imperfections, has medium+buildable coverage, but the texture feels very sheer/liquidy on the fingers. Even when you try to put on another layer, it still goes on smoothly! The packaging is also very nice, looks very chic and comes with a pump which is hygenic! Now the bad stuff: The packaging says "semi-matte finish" but it's more of a 'radiant' finish and I prefer to have a very matte look. Also I find all Dior foundations have a very limited color selection, i'm in between 100 and 200 which is at least 3 shades apart, but I got 200 instead since the 100 is really way too pale for me. I don't know what they put into the foundation but it seems to be waterproof, it says long lasting on the bottle, but it's ***REALLY*** hard to wash off, thus blocks pores, causes breakouts and almost ruined my HG Lancôme foundation brush! So now I prefer to use my fingers to apply it but still can`t manage to wash it off easily either! After using it one day, i think i got a zit from the chemicals associated in making it `long-lasting`, which is why i give it 3 lippies. Overall, i like its performance and how it looks on the skin, but i`m not sure about how it will react with my skin in the longterm -- will update soon tho! :) UPDATE: Ughhh...I hate to admit it but this foundation is really making me break out! Everytime i wear it, i get at least two new zits. I looked up the ingredients on the net and turns out NaCl (sodium chloride) is the 6th ingredient (meaning highly concentrated). What`s worse is that Nacl is also *HIGHLY* comedogenic, there were also 2 other ingredients further down the list that are also acne producing! Thus I lower it from 3 lippies to 1 lippie and will turn back to my HG (Lancôme`s Maquicontrôle)! I absolutely hate this foundation now!!! Ughhh bought 45$CAD of skin-cr*p, ruining my skin!!! lol

Didn't really matte my face for me. Like the other reviewers said, it does glide and blend nicely but it doesn't really cover the shine. In a 3-4 hours I start shining again. I think I prefer Dior's other liquid foundations more. I use 301. I think after this bottle I will switch to something else.

It's lovely foundation - easy to blend, it has almost no smell, it evens out the skin and makes a lovely complexion. I also like the fact it has spf14 which is really good for summer days.
I have #200 in light beige.

I once again think I've found my HG foundation. This is why:
The Shade: #100 is a perfect match for my yellow based PPP skin. Chanel DPF (my previous HG) was too dark. #100 didn't make me look dead either like #100 in Diorskin Fluide.
The Texture: unlike Diorskin Fluide, Ultra Mat is easy to blend and isn't as thick as other mat foundations.
The Coverage: medium to full
The Results: lovely and even complexion. Ultra Mat doesn't look matte in a way that it takes all the light away from your face, but it keeps the oilies at bay fairly good. I haven't found a sighle foundation which would keep my T-zone completely matte for 10 hours. This comes close.
My HG (for now).
