Product
The highly-raved Dior Nude Air Serum.
According to the Sephora's website, this product is claimed to be weightless and filled with skin-happy stuff. I was nearly on the verge of getting the Armani Maestro, which is also a liquid pigment foundation but the price of it was just too much. And then this came by.
This has SPF 25 and it has 1oz of product. However, I must say the fragrance is very overpowering as is the smell of alcohol.
Packaging
The bottle comes with a dropper which I think is highly useful, considering how liquid-y this product is. It is VERY runny. Its in glass bottle so thats really classy and nice, as is most of Dior's products.
Swatches
My shade is in Light Beige 020 and its the second fairest shade. Sephora carries a total of 8 shades which I think is a good range. Light Beige has a slightly pinker undertone compared to the next fairest shade (Ivory).
Application
I use my fingers to dot the product over my face and buffed it out with Real Techniques buffing brush. I tried using my fingers, but it felt as though the products were just being smeared around. The buffing gave me this really flawless look and I swear I saw my skin transform infront of me. It sets to a very satin finish which results in this really nice glow.
Verdict
A little goes a long way. A very very long way. The liquid pigments ensured that there is coverage and at the same time, completely weightless. Can I add that this product does not contain talc? I love.
But I must say it emphasizes dry areas alot. For some odd reason my nose is peeling, and this just emphasizes the dry flaky areas. However, all in all, this is my HG for now.
And this is around 7 hours later. I can still see my blush, highlight and contour quite well! It stayed amazing. I really really enjoyed this foundation. It kept me generally oil free as well and strong fragrance didn't bother me, just fyi. All in all, I'm highly impressed with this foundation.

This was my make up freshly applied. I don't have a picture closeup but when I checked, I'd like the setting after half an hour. I think it made everything even more natural.
