Dior Montaigne Matte & Superstitious Matte Rouge Diors

Dior Montaigne Matte (207) Rouge Dior Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium gray with neutral-to-cool undertones paired with a semi-matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied decently, but it could have been more even and flattering on the lips, as some of the color pulled into lip lines. The texture was smooth, velvety–creamy without being too emollient–and didn’t tug on the lips when applied from the tube. It lasted for five and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. I do, however, love seeing Dior include non-traditional colors in their permanent range. NYX Black Sesame (P, $6.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar).

Dior Superstitious Matte (789) Rouge Dior Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark purple with strong, warm pink undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that wasn’t too thin or too thick and was easy to glide across the lips. The finish was more flattering than Montaigne Matte, but it took about an hour before it had more of a matte finish. On me, this shade lasted for five and a half hours and left a stain behind, and it was just a touch hydrating overall. Anastasia Vintage (P, $20.00) is less glossy (95% similar). Too Faced Unicorn (P, $21.00) is less glossy (95% similar). Dose of Colors Dark Secret (P, $16.00) is lighter (95% similar). MAC Heroine (P, $17.00) is lighter (95% similar). Maybelline Vibrant Violet (P, $7.99) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Stylist's Tip (LE, $17.00) is lighter (90% similar). Colour Pop Zipper (P, $6.00) is darker, more muted, less glossy (90% similar). Colour Pop Grind (DC, $5.00) is lighter (90% similar). Kat Von D L.U.V. (P, $20.00) is less glossy (90% similar). Colour Pop Lychee (P, $6.00) is lighter, brighter, less glossy (85% similar). Kat Von D Susperia (P, $20.00) is lighter, less glossy (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Formula Overview

Dior Rouge Dior Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is supposed to “highly pigmented” with “lasting comfort” and no “colour streaking” for 16 hours. It’s a solid lipstick formula–fairly pigmented, applies without tugging, wears four to six hours, and is comfortable to wear, but it just is nowhere near 16-hour wear. The satin shades are more hydrating, while the mattes are slightly hydrating to non-drying. The formula has a floral scent but no discernible taste to me. The formula has a strong, floral scent in the tube, and I don’t really notice the scent once it’s on the lips.
