The Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette is engineered for effortless application and impactful results. Its finely milled powders ensure a smooth, blendable experience, creating an instant luminous finish without looking glittery or chalky.
Achieving Instant Radiance
For a natural, healthy glow, use a fluffy brush to lightly sweep one of the warmer shades, like the coral or rose, across the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. The soft shimmer diffuses light beautifully, mimicking a natural lit-from-within glow.
Building Intense Luminosity
To achieve a more intense, professional highlight, apply the pearly-white shade with a denser brush or your fingertips. Layering the product allows you to build the desired intensity. For an even more striking effect, slightly dampen your brush before picking up the product. This method amplifies the shimmer and provides a metallic finish perfect for evening looks or special occasions.
Versatile Application
Cheekbones: Apply along the top of your cheekbones for a lifted, radiant look.
Brow Bone: A touch beneath the arch of your eyebrow can open up the eye area.
Inner Corner of Eyes: Use a small brush to add a pop of brightness, making eyes appear more awake.
Cupid's Bow: A dab above your upper lip enhances lip shape and fullness.
Body Glow: Lightly dust over shoulders or collarbones for a subtle, all-over luminosity, especially with low-cut necklines.
The unique transforming shades, such as the Icy Blue, offer an opportunity for creative expression. While appearing cool-toned in the pan, it often develops a unique pink and violet iridescent glow upon application, providing a multi-dimensional highlight. This palette truly shines in its ability to adapt to various makeup styles, from everyday enhancement to dramatic artistry.
Setup & First Use:
The Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette comes ready to use. Simply open the compact. No complex setup or charging is required.
Application Tools:
Fingertips: Ideal for concentrated application and building intense glow.
Makeup Brushes: Use a fluffy brush for diffused, natural application and a denser brush for a more impactful highlight.
Compatibility:
Skin Tones: The shades are designed to be universally flattering. The buildable nature allows them to work across a wide range of skin tones, from fair to deep. The varying undertones within the palette (warm coral, cool icy blue, neutral pearly white, rosy pink) provide options for different complexions and desired effects.
Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types. As a powder product, it generally performs well on oily, combination, and normal skin. Those with very dry skin might benefit from moisturizing and priming adequately beforehand for optimal adherence and finish.
Product Care:
Storage: Keep the palette closed when not in use to protect the powders from dust and damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Cleaning: To maintain hygiene, periodically gently wipe the surface of the powder with a clean, dry tissue if needed. Do not use water or liquid cleaners directly on the powder pans.
Brush Care: Regularly clean your makeup brushes used with the palette to ensure optimal product pickup and hygienic application.
