All about dior makeup and fragrances

A brief history and information on the world-famous Dior cosmetics line.

Christian Dior has long been considered one of the world’s leading designers of clothing, shoes, and handbags. To be seen wearing something bearing the Christian Dior logo is certainly a status symbol. With racy ads and expensive items, the brand has branched out from making clothes and accessories, and has moved on to also manufacture cosmetics and fragrances.

Thirty years of research has gone into creating a lot of the cosmetics produced by Dior, including their skincare line. Many of the skincare items profess to prevent aging, while fighting gravity and wrinkles. Their body care line, Dior Svelte, has become a huge sensation in the high-end world of cosmetics. Some people consider Dior to be the most recognized name in fashion, and the company is certainly one of the most popular names in cosmetics and fragrance as well.

Christian Dior was a popular designer in the 1950’s until his death in 1957. He designed a lot of the frontrunners of fashion at that time, such as the A-line dress. After his death, he assigned Yves Saint Lorent to take over the company name and the company has grown ever since. But the cosmetics line was introduced a few years before Dior’s death in 1954 with its release of a matte lipstick. The demand was extremely high, and in 1960 lip glosses and nail enamel followed. By 1970 the demand for the products were so high that the company began creating its color collections to include eye shadows and mascaras.

Fragrance is another signature item in the Dior line. Some of the most popular fragrances are Dune, Hypnotic Poison, Tendre Poison, Dolce Vita, and Fahrenheit for Men. All of the perfumes have their own signature notes, including vanilla, sandalwood, citrus, apple blossom, pear, spices, and many other scents which Dior combines to create their own unique line of scents and titles.

Dior’s skincare line can be credited with the invention of the liposome, an agent used today in anti-aging cosmetics. They are considered the leading manufacturer in anti-aging technology, and are constantly adapting their lines to prevent aging and create a beautiful flawless look for all skin types. But if luxury is what you’re looking for, Dior has the key with jewel encrusted color palettes, lip-gloss rings with crystals, and a cosmetic with the Dior logo embellished on them, and lots more. The Lolita collection and addict lipsticks are currently some of their bestsellers. Eye shadow palettes can cost around fifty dollars, eyeliners over twenty dollars, and the perfumes range anywhere from twenty to over two hundred dollars, depending on name and size.

Dior also offers up self-tanning and anti-cellulite products for the body beautiful. Many celebrities swear by the companies’ line of cosmetics and fragrances, and are seen being worn by jetsetters. However, availability of Dior Cosmetics is fairly widespread and most products do not have to be purchased in Beverly Hills. Cosmetics outlets like Sephora offer a large selection of products by Dior. Perhaps you’ll be one of the jetsetters yourself.
