Pink Rose (466)
Dior Pink Rose (466) Rouge Dior Lip Color (2021) ($40.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, pink-leaning coral with a frosted finish. It had a lightweight, moderately emollient consistency that was thin without being clingy, so it applied fluidly across my lips but didn’t slide around while worn.
It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff that went on evenly, though a touch of product settled into my deeper lip lines–not enough to be noticeable in person. This shade lasted well for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview
$40.00 –
The formula is supposed to have “radiant, longwear color” with “16 [hour] comfort.” Based on the marketing, the “16 [hour] comfort” claim seems associated with how hydrating/smoothing the formula is, not necessarily the color itself, as it was tied to “lip caring” ingredients “red peony and pomegranate flower extracts.”
From the shades I’ve tested, the pigmentation was semi-opaque to opaque, while the consistency was lightly emollient, smooth, and comfortable to apply across my lips in a fluid, one-stroke motion. The coverage was typically even, though the more metallic shades were more emollient than the other finishes and were a little more prone to settling into my lip lines than the satin, matte, and velvet finishes.
They wore between four and six hours with the matte and velvet shades lasting longer (six to eight), so some shades were more long-wearing than the average bullet lipstick. The formula was comfortable to wear and ranged from lightly hydrating to hydrating with the mattes being the least hydrating.
It was floral-scented with a very slight taste at times, though I did not consistently taste it.

Sparkling Peony (873)
Dior Sparkling Peony (873) Rouge Dior Lip Color (2021) ($40.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark raspberry pink with cooler undertones and ruby red micro-sparkle throughout a more luminous finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without emphasizing lip texture or my lip lines.
The texture was lightweight, emollient without being too slippery, and comfortable to apply and to wear. It stayed on well for five hours and felt hydrating over time.
