One thing to note about the Dior- I think it truly does adjust to your skin. Whenever I first apply it, I can barely see it on my skin and I feel like I need to build it up. However, on more than one occasion when I was wearing this blush, my husband noted that I had “a lot of rouge on” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 First of all, LOL at him calling it “rouge,” but also he has never said that about another blush. I need to remember to give it time to adjust before I pile on more

Loved this $ Hi-Lo side by side comparison! 💕 If we weren’t trying to pick them apart I’d say they’re the same, but I think they have different tones. The Essence compliments your complexion just a tinge more, which is why I think it’s the winner in this instance. However, I do think the Dior cheek looks cooler, and more seamless and airbrushed - at least on my phone. ☺️ Yet another brilliant review, thank you! 👏👏

Both look gorgeous on you, but especially the Essence one!

Ok wow both look stunning on you and after you described what you’re looking for, then the essence would definitely be the winner! it’s wine drunk blush for sure, and if anything looks more “natural” bc it’s a flush whereas the dior one is a blush…. If that makes sense at all?? Buuuuuuttttt unpopular opinion: my vote goes for dior! I love the shade and need something like that in my tiny collection. I also prefer how it looks and sits on your skin slightly more - looks more diffused/blurring. also are you an air sign by any chance? 👀 luxurious experience is where it’s at for me too!
