Dior Rouge are my favourite type of lipstick by Dior, as the colour pay off is simply incredible with a subtle hint of powder scent that luckily doesn’t transform onto the lips (not a fan of smelly lips!). Back in August I gave you a peek of the Dior Rouge Prêt-À-Porter, and today I’m showing you how they swatch.
Left to right: Pied-De-Poule (977), Rouge Massaï (869), Rose Tutu (354), Bar (317), Carré D’or (135)
The bottom images are in the order they are swatched on my arm. Click the image below to enlarge.
With a slight glossy feel to the lipstick, I love how you only need a light swatch on the lips and you can transform your entire look with a vampy deep lip like the first picture on the left, or an easy going neutral lip if you were to wear Carré D’or. However, given that, I personally wouldn’t layer on coats of Bar or Carré D’Or simply due to the fact they have more shimmer than I would like, and they look better paired with a darker lip to give a slight shimmer to the centre of one’s lip. For the sake of genuine swatches, I wanted to show you what they looked like on their own.
A closer look:
Pied-De-Poule
Rouge Massaï
Rose Tutu
Bar
Carré D’or
What colour could you see yourself wearing? I admit, not all lipsticks excite me, and like every collection I was hesitant on a few of the colours. This time being the two lightest ones, they seemed shimmery in the tube, but both turned out to be somewhat wearable every day colours — if you like shimmer. I like a nice surprise. My favourite on me are the two deepest shades. One day I’ll get enough courage to walk out of the house with the intense deep, rich colours and not worry about having lipstick all over my teeth. How do you do it? When I smile, I smear it all over my teeth. I need help, or your tips. Please share your lipstick wearing tips with me.
Dior Rouge Prêt-À-Porter lipsticks retail for $36CDN and have become available as of August 1, 2014.

Thanks for the review. You look very pretty in all those colours. I especially like Pied-De-Poule.
I love the Pied-De-Poule on you. Great for a fun night out with hubby. Really lifts up your bubbly personality.
I really love the Rose Tutu color! I’m a huge Dior lipstick fan <3

@Ros: Well isn’t that a nice comment to get bright and early this morning – thank you!
I LOVE how smooth Dior lipsticks are, but I can’t handle the scent. Pied-de-poule is pretty enough I may just breathe through my mouth.

To keep lipstick from on your teeth you stick your finger in your mouth, pucker around them and pull it out. The excess lipstick stays on your finger instead of your teeth. Then you just wash your hands. Try it out! My favs on you are the lightest and the darkest. Have to admit, I wouldn’t have the guts to go out with a dark colour either.
These are all such gorgeous colors! The frosty shades aren’t my favorite because they look weird on me, but I loooove the first three reds & pinks!

Pied-De-Poule is my favorite! I’ve been on the search for a good ‘wine’ shade.

I love post like these!!! Those colors are pretty! I will say that I always do the finger test whenever I wear really poppy colors! I make an “O” shape and pull my finger through! and it usually takes off the which would be on my teeth! :)

I do love Dior lipsticks, but don’t buy them very often. These shades are very pretty.

I talk about dior gloss on my blog today. Their lip products are amazing.
I love all of these colors, and am a huge fan of Dior cosmetics. So worth the money in my opinion.
Lipsticks are very tricky for me. Sometimes I can pull off certain warm tones and sometimes certain cooler tones. It’s just one of those things!

I do love all these colors actually even the very light ones! I have a few Dior cosmetics, but no lipsticks. Gotta get back in the game on that.

I am really loving the two darker colors. I am in the same boat, I wouldn’t really like the lighter colors because of the shimmer aspect of them. They are gorgeous colors, but I would have liked them better if they were a matte or even a satin.
The Rose Tutu is just enough color to look like you put effort in your look but not so much that you look painted.
