Come out, you Dior foundation wearers!

So, I'll be going to Hawaii and I'll be in the water a lot...

I was wondering if any of you gals/guys have tried "DiorSkin Forever Extreme Wear Flawless Makeup SPF 25" it is said to be waterproof?

My question is, does it work? If so, does it hold up to the "waterproof" part?

Or do you guys have any recommendations for any "water resistant" foundations? I've looked online and seen that MUFE has a water resistant foundation, does it work?

Thanks!

I wear this foundation and it stays on that's for sure. When I wash my face I have to cleanse twice! I love it!

i use this foundation as well and it holds pretty well..i haven't swam with it on, but when i went on a water ride and got splashed due to being in the front, it stayed on.

Dior is good... however I have found Make Up Forever's foundations to have a better range of colors and better wearability especially if you want it to look good after being in the water!

Thanks, so either way both foundations wear off? I'm so undecided!

Yeah, unfortunately. If you plan on actually swimming, I woudl do a tinted moisturiser and maybe carry some foundation with you, any and all will come off with active play in water, especially for an extended period of time. Anytime I've done a shhot where I had to have the model where body makeup, we had to touch up constantly, and I used Ben Nye Makeup Seal, and still had to touch up every 30 - an hour that we would be in water.

so i have used both dior and mufe. my gripe about dior is it oxidizes quickly and tuns a shade to two shades darker/orange within the first hour.

anyways they both are really great for longwearing and both are waterproof. when i would shower they would both still be on when i was done if i hadn't used a cleanser.

mufe gave me more porcelain coverage because it covered my freckles but dior gave me lighter coverage but still full coverage (if that makes sense?)

i like dior for more daytime and mufe for night but dior just doesn't come in enough foundation shades to match my skin that well.

waterproof mascara- lancome hynose waterproof handsdown! the only thing is have a good makeup remover because it is a pain in the ass to get off.

i think i've tried them all because waterproof holds my curl better because i have such straight lashes. diorshow waterproof is also amazing but it tends to give me a slight racoon eye near my outer lower lashes.

Your welcome, always glad to help!

I reeeaaallllly liked Tarte's new one, the 4 day lash stain. Boy, that sucker looked good for 3 days, and when I went to take it off (just any waterproof makeup remover) it removed really easily and didn't hurt me or my lashes.

EDIT - I used to work for Sephora, and I've been in the cosmetics industry for 6 years now - I've tried a LOOOOTTT of stuff, lol.

Thanks! What brush do you normally use when you apply both foundations?

Do you put a powder on top of the foundation? Or just leave it?

WOW! 3 days?! That's crazy! hahaha...

I was wondering, since you worked at Sephora, do they give samples in little sample jars if I wanted to try both foundations?

Thanks! I'll definitely look into the product. I have some problems with Dior mascara as well, I actually got a allergic reaction to it, although I loved it when I first used it!

They should. Make sure and let them color match you first.
