Summer hasn't even arrived yet, but already, thoughts of radiance, golden skin, and faraway horizons are stirring. While we wait for the first dips in the pool, Dior Beauty unveils its vision of a dream summer—sunny, stylish, intensely couture—with Dioriviera, its limited-edition makeup collection. At the helm, Peter Philips, Artistic Director for the Beauty creation, orchestrates a bright and pop-inspired collection featuring fresh shades, second-skin textures, and glow effects. “Each creation is a call to escape, a way to catch a little sunshine in your handbag,” he explains. New products that also aim to be couture objects, taking the iconic Toile de Jouy—the house's signature motif—and introducing it from tote bags to powder compacts and eyeshadow palettes. An instantly recognizable aesthetic, crafted here down to the smallest details, like a common thread connecting fashion and makeup.
Light as a guiding principle
The first star of this suncare line is Dior Forever Nude Bronze Glow, a multi-use palette that combines bronzer, blush, highlighter, and sculpting powder in a perfectly engraved case. Two harmonious shades, Coral Bronze and Pink Bronze, warm the complexion with a sheer finish, thanks to a fine texture infused with pearlescent pigments and a formula designed to last through the longest summer days. Mirroring this, the Glow Luminizer comes in a new coral shade, saturated with crystalline micro-pearls: the ideal tool for recreating the golden hour effect on the cheekbones in a single stroke.
For the eyes, the must-have Diorshow 5 Colors also gets a summer makeover. Two limited-edition harmonies capture the azure blue and warm sand. Pink Riviera, with its shades of mauve and pop pink, evokes a late afternoon on the French Riviera, while Coral Riviera draws on a warmer palette of intense copper, luminous ivory, and sunny browns. Airy textures, satin or metallic finishes... The pigments blend effortlessly for looks ranging from the most discreet to the most incandescent.
A glossy smile by the water
If Dioriviera celebrates the light, it’s also through smiles. Three versions of Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil adopt the color codes of a vitamin-packed summer: Splash (a translucent blue), Pink Pop, and Lemon Glow, a lemon yellow that twists the codes of classic gloss. The texture, infused with cherry oil, fills the lips with moisture / hydratation and light without any stickiness. For extra volume, the Lip Maximizer version, enriched with hyaluronic acid, plumps and finishes the lips while coating them with iridescent highlights—special mention for Sparkly Sienna, a luminous brick shade with sunset accents.
