If you're as tapped into the beauty world as we are, chances are you've seen at least one influencer or celebrity on your social media feeds using (and loving) the Dior Forever Skin Perfect foundation stick ($52). It's a viral beauty product loved by celebrities such as Demi Moore and Hailey Bieber, but is it actually worth the hype — and the price tag?
Foundation can be tricky to get right, especially when it comes to your skin type. The Dior foundation stick comes in 18 shades ranging from very light to very deep. It's a stick formula (duh, it's in the name) with a natural finish that is buildable. It promises to provide 24 hours of wear, although most people won't necessarily be testing that claim to the fullest extent. For application, the brand recommends using it all over the face directly from the stick itself, and then blending it out with your fingertips. It can also be used as a concealer to target specific areas.
If you want to get creative, Bieber has been seen mixing the stick with the Glazing Milk ($32) from her beauty brand, Rhode (we're big fans), but it also works well on its own.
Ahead, three editors put the rumors to the test and try Dior's viral foundation stick on different skin types and skin tones. Keep scrolling to read their honest reviews.
Dior Forever Skin Perfect Foundation Stick Shade 5 N
"Since I primarily use liquid foundation, I was initially hesitant when I first applied this foundation stick. But after a few swipes, I saw the color start to show up on my skin and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I usually have to mix foundations, and the shade 5 N worked perfectly for me. I wore it for eight hours during a day full of press events, and it held up pretty well. I have normal to oily skin so I normally have to blot my nose after a while. With Dior's foundation, no oil was present. I'm a fan." — Naomi Parris, assistant editor, Shopping

Dior Forever Skin Perfect Foundation Stick Shade 4 N
"If you know anything about me, you know I will try anything in the name of Hailey Bieber. I don't know what it is about her, but I genuinely just love her vibe. However — not all of her picks work for me (I am a realist, after all). When I saw her using the Dior foundation stick, I knew I needed to get my hands on it if only to see whether or not I could re-create her glowing complexion.
"I tested shade 4 N, which was the tiniest bit too warm for me, but after swiping the formula on my face for the first time, I honestly didn't care. It went on as smooth as butter, and it left me with just the right amount of coverage — not too heavy, but not too light. I'm acne-prone with dry skin, and it didn't break me out at all or cling to any dry patches.
"Of course, I've tested it out with Bieber's Glazing Milk hack, and it gives my skin the dewiest finish. I still need to figure out the correct shade, but believe me when I tell you this formula is worth an entire trip to Sephora — or even the mall, and I hate the mall — to get it right." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer
Dior Forever Skin Perfect Foundation Stick Shade 2 N
"I'm not big on foundation. I actually can't remember the last time I put it on. I'm more of a targeted concealer type of gal, but I heard so many great things about the Dior Forever Skin Perfect foundation stick that I was excited to try it. I love the ease of a stick applicator, but I've found that the formulas are usually too dry for my liking; I didn't have that problem with this one. It glided across my skin so smoothly, providing saturated-looking coverage at first that blended down to a light-to-medium skin-like finish after I buffed it with my fingertips. I'm impressed and I will be keeping it in my rotation." — Jessica Harrington, senior editor, Beauty
