If I just slap it on haphazardly around my nose, it can accentuate any pores or texture there right away.
ConsThe thick formula requires a fair amount of speed when applying. It's not quite as thick as Double Wear, but it's similar. If you just dab it on the face, you'll definitely need to use a damp sponge - using a dry sponge or cushion sponge will leave visible streaks. I'm a brush person, so I like to work one section of the face thoroughly with the brush before moving on. Haphazardly brushing and then trying to build up coverage just leaves obvious brush strokes that dry down. Overall, Dior foundations don't have an extremely luminous finish. On skin that's lighter than a typical 21 shade, it can even appear a bit dull. I personally prefer a more radiant look, but the Dior foundation matches my skin tone perfectly. Still, I really like the Dior foundation for its lasting power, coverage, and texture.
TipA damp sponge or pore brush work well with this foundation. Flat brushes might be a bit tricky to use. It's best to apply it in one smooth layer, as going over it too much can make the texture feel heavy. For those who find Double Wear too drying, this semi-matte Dior foundation could be a great option. While not a tip per se, I have to mention that the fragrance is absolutely lovely. It has a very fresh, invigorating scent that I really enjoy when applying the foundation.
