FAQs
Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?
Yes, its non-comedogenic formula is designed not to clog pores, and its long-lasting, waterproof properties can benefit oily skin by resisting breakdown throughout the day. However, individuals with very oily skin might still benefit from setting with a powder.
Can I use this foundation on my body?
Absolutely! The Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation is designed for use on both the face and body. It helps to even out skin tone and add a luminous glow to areas like the décolleté or shoulders.
How do I choose the right shade?
The foundation comes in 40 shades with various intensities and undertones (Warm, Cool, Neutral, Peach, etc.). It's recommended to test shades on your jawline in natural light or consult an online shade-matching tool. This particular variant is '65W Warm'.
Is this product vegan or cruelty-free?
Info needed: Please refer to Dior's official policy on animal testing and product formulations for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
What is the finish of this foundation?
It provides a natural and luminous finish, designed to give a 'second skin' sensation. It's not overly matte nor excessively dewy, striking a balanced, healthy glow.
Does this foundation provide sun protection?
Info needed: The product description does not specify an SPF rating. For sun protection, it is recommended to use a dedicated sunscreen underneath the foundation.
How do I remove this waterproof foundation?
Due to its waterproof nature, it's best to use an oil-based cleanser, a bi-phase makeup remover, or a cleansing balm. Apply the remover, gently massage, and then rinse thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Foundation looks cakey or heavy
This foundation is highly buildable. Ensure you are applying very thin layers and blending thoroughly. Start with a small amount and build gradually. Use a damp sponge for a more sheer, natural finish.
Foundation isn't lasting as long as expected
While resistant to extreme conditions, proper skin preparation is key. Ensure your skin is clean and moisturized. Consider using a primer underneath and a setting spray or powder on top, especially in areas prone to oiliness or humidity.
Difficulty blending seamlessly
The ultra-fine texture requires thorough blending. Use a good quality brush or a damp makeup sponge and blend in small, circular motions or dabbing motions until the product disappears into the skin. Work in sections if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application Tips
Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin for the best adherence and finish. A primer can be used for extended wear or specific skin concerns.
Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the bottle to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Dispense: Apply a small amount to the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or directly onto a brush/sponge. A little goes a long way due to its buildable nature.
Apply: Use a foundation brush, sponge, or your fingertips to apply. Start from the center of your face and blend outwards. For body application, blend evenly over desired areas.
Build Coverage: For more coverage, apply additional thin layers, focusing on areas that need extra attention. Allow each layer to set for a moment before applying the next.
Compatibility
Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, thanks to its non-comedogenic and hydrating properties.
Age: The formula is suitable for all ages.
Other Products: Compatible with most primers, concealers, powders, and setting sprays. Experiment to find combinations that work best for your skin type and desired finish.
Care & Storage
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its integrity.
Hygiene: Always ensure your hands are clean before applying. Regularly clean your application tools (brushes, sponges) to prevent product contamination and maintain skin health.
Shelf Life: Pay attention to the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol (often an open jar icon with a number followed by 'M', e.g., '12M') on the packaging, which indicates how long the product is good for after opening.
