Dior Addict Lip Glow review: the best daily lipstick?

the best lipstick for daily wear dior

*adlinks

Dior Addict Lip Glow is the first lipstick that I actually wear almost every single day. It doesn’t require lip lining or even a mirror. It’s like a lipstick that doesn’t feel like a lipstick, yet you get the color and the shine.

Last but not least, the packaging is gorgeous.

Quick verdict

  • Best for: easy everyday color, comfort, dry lips and no-mirror makeup.
  • Finish: sheer, glossy and moisturizing – more like a lip balm than a traditional lipstick.
  • My shades: 075 Gummy for a bright warm coral and 020 Mahogany for a deeper brown red.

The best and most comfortable lipstick for everyday use – Dior Addict Lip Glow Lip Balm

As a busy mom of two, it’s all about the makeup products fitting into my lifestyle. It’s about ease, instant results and joy that I get from applying them. I no longer grab products that require a lot of work from me. I go for products that I can apply with my eyes closed. Or on the go, as often happens.

I still find makeup extremely important, joyous and fun for me. Taking those two minutes to get ready each morning makes me feel like I have a say in who I want to be and how I want to present myself. I love to have a beautiful lipstick in my purse and nowadays I rarely step outside before swiping a little lipstick on my lips first.

I sometimes find lipsticks to be impractical, uncomfortable or drying on the lips. Lip balms, however, can have the properties I want from a lipstick, yet they feel like lip balms.

Dior Lip Glow Gummy on the lips

Dior Addict Lip Glow lip balms are basically sheer lipsticks that are so much more wearable for day-to-day use than regular lipsticks. The consistency is light, smooth and hydrating. On my lips the color even stays pretty well.

Choosing a lipstick that is more sheer makes sense, because it wears out nicely and doesn’t stick out.

Dior Lip Glow Mahogany Gummy Swatches

Dior Addict Lip Glow Gummy 075 & Mahogany 020

I currently have two shades; 075 Gummy for daily wear and 020 Mahogany for when I want more of an intense color. The Gummy color is a beautiful bright coral and Mahogany is a brown red. They are both warm toned and complement my features beautifully.

Shop:
*Dior Addict Lip Glow 075 Gummy (KICKS.fi)
*Dior Addict Lip Glow 020 Mahogany (KICKS.fi)

If you are choosing between these two, I would pick Gummy for everyday freshness and Mahogany for a slightly more polished, warm red look. Both are easy to wear because the color is sheer and soft.

I also have Dior Addict Shine Lipstick in the shade Tie & Dior. That is also something I wear a lot. It’s more of a lipstick, but the consistency is extremely creamy and comfortable. The shade that is described as rosy nude is very flattering especially on light skin. It’s cool-toned and has some sparkles. I wanted to mention it here, since it’s also something I use from the same brand.

I wore colorful makeup inspired by my Kaiko shirt for May day celebrations. Also wore Dior Addict Lip Glow in the shade Gummy. It just fits all the looks.

Dior Addict Lip Glow FAQ

Is Dior Addict Lip Glow a lipstick or a lip balm?

For me, it sits right between the two. It feels like a comfortable lip balm, but gives enough sheer color and shine to work as an easy everyday lipstick.

Which Dior Addict Lip Glow shade is best for daily wear?

My favorite daily shade is 075 Gummy, because it gives a fresh warm coral tint without looking too done. 020 Mahogany is my pick when I want a little more color.

Is Dior Addict Lip Glow worth the price?

For me, yes. I use it constantly, it is easy to reapply, and it gives me the comfort of a lip balm with the look of a sheer lipstick. If you rarely wear lipstick because it feels like too much work, this kind of formula makes sense.

Anyway – I feel very passionate about this product. If only I had found it sooner! The only warning I want to give is that there’s no going back to other lipsticks after this one.

 

BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDARS 2024

To all my fellow Christmas and cosmetics lovers: Here are the best beauty advent calendars of 2024! As always, I picked calendars from different price points and categories. Some contain hair and skincare products as well as makeup – and some are focused on just makeup or skin.

Advent calendars are a tradition and a luxury I allow myself each Christmas. This way I’ve gotten to try some great new products that have earned a place on my list of awesome products.

I recommend taking a good peek at the contents before buying. That way you know what you’re getting (but at least I wouldn’t really remember, so the surprise aspect kind of lasts). As someone who’s tried different calendars during the years, I can say that the best ones with great selection of products tend to come from Kicks, Lookfantastic and Lyko. Rituals is also a safe choice each year, if you don’t need or want makeup. This year I choce Rituals – just because I was looking for that spa vibe in my bathroom.
