Well girls - this is it - the one I've been waiting for. I'm 48 and have tried every foundation under the sun over the years including Prescriptives Custom Blend. Most foundations I tried were irritating to my sensitive skin and/or the color did not blend with my very fair peaches and cream complexion. I am a 010 in this line and the color is a perfect match. At 48 I now have other issues that this foundation helps disguise. It also goes on smoothly, lasts all day with just a brief touch up with powder. I like the pump application which saves on product as this one is expensive. But I don't mind spending the $$$ if I know it is a hit - others have offered unsolicited comments that my skin looks great. I'm not trying to look like I am twenty again - just the best I can for late fourties. I am in the process of exploring the Capture Totale Skincare -will let you know.

Wore this for work one day and a friend asked if I switched foundation, asked her why and she said "you're face looks kind of plastic." This is the first foundation I wore that she made that comment for so it's no good.

The SA gave me a sample of this since my HG Dior Sculpt is being discontinued and this is supposed to be the replacement. Besides the 27 dollar price hike, Sculpt was 53 and this sells for 75, the color #21Linen is not the same as #21 Linen Sculpt. It is darker! I did not care for the fragrance or the oiliness of this. It is nothing like the Sculpt:{

I have just bought this foundation despite my wallet having a heart attack, it costs £56 here in the UK.

First impressions: a beautiful, satiny smooth, flawless coverage. I think I heard my skin say "aaaaahh" when MA applied it, it felt like a beautiful, soothing balm on my skin.

I bought it in 021 (Linen) shade. This shade has yellow undertones, and NO PINK in it at all. If you want pink shade, but pale, go for 020 in this.
My skin is very pale, yellow undertones but with VERY pink cheeks that flush easily (rosacea?). This greatly toned down my redness and evened out my skin tone without looking cakey or like a mask. Actually, even applied with fingertips, and tapped in a bit, it looks perfect, I guess that it would look even better applied with Dior foundation brush that MA used on me.
When I first saw this foundation in Linen (021), it looked too yellow in the bottle and I was sure that it would clash with my pinky skin.

But, today I have applied it in the natural light, and it is perfect!!!

I would say it is a neutral hue but more geared toward yellow, perfect for my pale pinky skin. It just evens out my complection perfectly and I don't look like I am wearing any make up, but my skin looks perfect - how good is that?
WARNING:
If you have oily T-zone, this will make it shiny like hell. My nose was gleaming so much after a few hours, it was ridiculous. So I will continue to wear my Oil free Chanel on my T-zone while this is perfect for my drier cheeks.
Overall, a lovely foundation, when applied it dissapears into skin, giving lovely, glowing (but not too shiny) finish. A little goes a long way, please bear this in mind. Only a tiny pump is enough for the whole face, it spreads like crazy. It has a very buildable coverage, the first layer gives medium coverage and can be layered for full coverage, but I find that one layer is enough, even for my flushed skin.
This foundation is definitely more suited for drier skins. IMO, it would be too rich for below 35's and it is totally wrong for more oily skins. Otherwise, a beautiful product well worth the price.
UPDATE: still think it is a very good foundation but I keep finding quite large chunks of foil like glitteri in it. I really dislike this as I have to scrape it of my skin. For this reason, I am removing 1 star.

Drat! Why must the first super expensive foundation I've tried be my HG?! I normally wear MAC or Prescriptives (all of which are now gathering dust....). This gives lovely, buildable cover, which makes my skin look flawless - and like I've had more than four hours sleep....
While I would never normally spend $120 odd NZ on a foundation, I will happily shell out again for a foundation that makes me look airbrushed.

Update: I had to travel to another city for work today - foundation went on at 4.30am, and is still looking good at 8.30pm - 16 hours later.......not bad at all!

I am now 47. I have almost no lines, just the smile lines and one other. I have mostly even skin tone when I wear no makeup, but do like to look "finished" especially when going to work or going out. Initially when I bought this, after trying out a sample for approximately a week, I thought I would save it for more special occasions rather than everyday wear. But as I started to wear it I noticed how much smoother, more polished and more radiant I looked. I still have combination skin, with a somewhat more pronounced oily T zone (less of an issue in winter) but this foundation doesn't seem to aggravate it. I have since adopted it as my go-to foundation for nearly everyday, when I do wear makeup. I only need one-pump and get the desired coverage. More would be unnecessary. It is, for me, a true color finish, which does not change or oxidize over the course of the day, and does wear rather well. Pricey, but a good value for the money.

I m very impressed with this foundation.The texture is more than PERFECT glides on the skin and blends perfectly.The coverage is GREAT almoste full but still looks natural.Has spf 15 in it.Offers a natural matte finish with good staying power.The formula is more on the moisturizing site so don't have long lasting matte finish expectations.Wears comfortable all day long without settling in fine lines or wringles gives me a completely flwless look.I wear it every day now and didn't cause me any kind of problems.I totaly love this foundation and even though I spend 76 euros to buy this one I would totaly buy it again without second thoughts I don't regret it at all(very rare think for me)I totaly recomend this foundation for someone with combination to slightly dry skin.If you have too oily skin and you like matte finish foundations with oil absorbing properties don't buy this product it's not gonna work for you.Dior also claims that this is an antiaging product and works like a serum.I don't know about others personally I didn't enjoy any antiaging miracle on my skin,but other than that I have to say again that is by far the best foundation that dior have made ever.And for me it's one of the best foundations I ve ever used and I have used pretty much everything.

i have a very sensitive skin and i've tried so many foundie but since i found this one,it wont wreck on my face and no shiny face.better than Dior prestige foundation

I have very dry, sensitive skin as well as rosacea.

I have tried so many different foundations, most recently Estee Lauder Double Wear which I loved but the palest shade was too dark for me. I also tried a Cover FX foundation which was a total disaster.

So I was initially tried this because of the shade selection. I got 010 which I believe is the palest shade and it is a perfect match. I have very fair skin and find it difficult to get a good match. MAC, Benefit, Lancome etc are all too dark for me.

What I wasn't prepared for was the amazing coverage and finish. It covers all my redness - I don't even need concealer! I am just stunned by that alone. Also, a little goes a very long way. Two small pumps is more than enough to cover my whole face.

Also, most other foundations I used would look cakey due to my dry skin but not this. It feels like it is actually moisturising my skin when I wear it. I know it's designed for older skins and I'm only 24 but hey it does the job brilliantly!

Now I will say that it is very pricey. It's €75 here in Ireland which is so expensive. If I remember correctly the ELDW was €40 or something so its almost twice the price. Having said that, this is my Holy Grail product so I am quite happy to pay the price for it. I love it so much and haven't got anything negative to say about it. I will definitely buy this again.

Also, I apply this with the MAC 188 brush and set it with MAC MSF in light/medium natural and the finish is just fantastic.

This is a nice longwearing foundation. The key is a light application. It doesn't make me really oily like most moisturizing foundations. I do need to use powder, but I do with all foundation anyway. I do have a slight "smile" line, and notice when foundations don't work well for lines because of this area. Well, I think the CD foundation is AMAZING for anyone with lines, as my problem area disappeared with the foundation, no kidding.
