Dior introduces Dior Backstage professional makeup

The house of Dior is gearing up to launch a new color cosmetics line named Dior Backstage. Dior Backstage is the rage of professional quality and performance makeup products designed to be easy to use, and offered in a full rainbow of colors. The range,  envisioned by Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior,  is launching later this month, in May 2018.

Dior Backstage is inspired by a selection of indispensable makeup products found in Philips’ makeup case. The idea for the line grew organically, as Philips sometimes asked Dior labs to produce something that he needed backstage and on photo shoots. The compact new range is envisioned as an easy, basic makeup, including two brow palettes, a contour palette, 40 shades of face and body foundations, two eye palettes, a glow face palette, a lip palette, and no less than 13 different brushes (from $25.00 to $59.00). Everything comes in new, simplified and lightweight packaging. In Philips’ own words, the range is aimed at all types of women, regardless of their style and age.

The backbone of the collection is Dior Backstage Face and Body Foundation ($40.00), available in 40 shades to cover a full range of skin tones. According to Dior, the new multipurpose foundation formulas are much lighter than anything else in Dior ranges, but also buildable and easy to apply.

There are two Brow Palettes ($35.00), a lighter and a darker version, each containing a setting wax and two powder shadows. The Eye Palettes ($49.00) include eight eyeshadow shades + a matching primer, while the Lip Palette ($49.00) features nine shades – three glosses, three satin-finish lipsticks, and three matte shades. There’s also the illuminating Glow Face Palette  and the Contour Palette packed with two highlighting shades and two darker matte shades for sculpting.

Dior Backstage debuts in France and the Middle East on dior.com on May 25. In the rest of Europe, the line will be sold on Dior’s website from June 1st, followed by its wider distribution from June 15. Also on June 15, the collection, except for the brushes, will available in the U.S. and Canada on dior.com and sephora.com. The range is coming to Sephora on June 29. source: wwd.
