Q&A in Helsinki

Tell us about your mania onto Christian Dior Forever Perfect Cushion.

Since 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri leads Dior as women’s Artistic Director, the collections of its ready-to-wear, accessories and beauty products reach up yet a more of lust worthy peak. In January 2020, the release campaign of Dior Forever Couture Perfect Cushion -Diormania Edition, which is decked out in the iconic Dior Oblique motif in navy and ivory canvas material, performs as the perfect essential together with Dior Book Tote. Made in Korea, the Diormania Edition is still as slim as the regular offerings, and its refillable design is possible for a new cushion replaced with this collectible case. Therefore, I kindly but slightly eagerly requested my makeup artist friend who works at Taipei Dior Backstage for the reservation in December 2019. Unfortunately, the limited stock has been sold out in January, luckily, during Chinese New Year holidays, the restock was available and Diormanina cushion has been one of my favourite daily necessities.

How do you apply the skin cares before the completion of Dior Forever Perfect Cushion?

Dior Perfect Cushion offers 24 hours of long-wear perfection and skin-caring hydration, that its comfort, freshness and a luminous-matte finish will last the entire day without the worries under the humid environment. After face washing by using KANEBO SUISAI beauty clear powder, I usually quickly spray CAUDALIE grape water to smooth my skin, then apply NAMERAKA soybean rich gel (豆乳発酵液) mixing with 0,5g of SPF25 (PA+++) soybean makeup foundation. After a slim layer of GIORGIO ARMANI SPF12 face fabric, Dior Perfect Cushion 1N Neutral is the last step before outing. 

✔Dior Flash Luminizer is inspired by the lighting techniques used by Backstage makeup artists, with a single or double clicks, the booster pen not only can sculpt facial contours, highlight and correct signs of fatigues, brighten the eyes but also enhance the complexion. Color 002 is recommended by my professional makeup artist friends at Taipei Dior Backstage, definitely will become my next travel must-have. 

✔The tattoo effect tinted brow ink by Dior for instantly full and lastingly shaped brows, its formula enriched with high-intensity pigments tints the skin in a single sweep for a weightless finish. Loaded with waterproof polymers, the formula delivers a flawless daily finish that won’t budge. As well introduced by Dior Backstage makeup artist friend, color 002 only takes two steps for my natural effect:

1. Outline the brows with precision while respecting their structure

2. Fill Dior brow ink in any sparse areas

✔Since 1963, the iconic Dior Crème Abricot renowned for its nourishing and moisturizing properties, the highly rich formula fortifies nails and improves resistance with visible results in just one month. The ivory acetate case carving CD font is both holding vintage and cute looks.

✔Diorshow Liquid Mono, Dior’s first long-wear eyeliner/eye shadow, with non- transferred or non-smudge fluid texture. My choice #060 silver flakes is saturated with pearlescent pigments and offers buildable intensity to suit my party night desires. This limited edition is a 50% off bargain at Stockmann spring sale, the packaging design of navy varnish tap with transparent bottle with DIOR font is highly futuristic, I treat it as my ultimate eyeliner with its double-ended applicator. 

✔Enriched with organic silicon, Dior Vernis #891 Dior Celestial strengthens the nail surface for optimal hold, while the techno-polymer creates a seamless bond between the lacquer and the nail. A mini gift from my makeup artist friend, the shining grape hue from #891 resins with a techno-polymer transform each coat of lacquer into a film as smooth and shiny.
