Review & Swatches: Dior High Fidelity Colour & Effect
The five shades within the Dior Electrify palette are carefully chosen to create a spectrum of looks, from subtle everyday elegance to bold, dramatic statements. Let's break down each shade, exploring its unique characteristics and how it performs:
1. Coral: This shade is a vibrant, yet surprisingly wearable coral. It's not overly bright or neon; instead, it possesses a soft, almost peachy undertone that makes it flattering on a wide range of skin tones. The texture is incredibly smooth and buttery, blending seamlessly onto the lid without any patchiness. The finish is a delicate shimmer, adding a touch of luminosity without being overly glittery. This shade works beautifully as a transition shade in the crease, a wash of colour all over the lid, or even as a subtle highlight on the inner corner of the eye. Its versatility is a key strength.

2. Light Gold: This is no ordinary gold. This light gold shade possesses a unique, almost champagne-like quality. It's not overly metallic or brassy; instead, it offers a refined, luminous sheen that elevates any eye look. The texture is finely milled, providing a smooth, even application without any fall-out. This shade is perfect for highlighting the inner corner of the eye, adding a touch of brightness to the brow bone, or layering over other shades to enhance their luminosity. It's a versatile highlight shade that adds a touch of sophistication to any makeup look.

3. Pistachio: This shade is the unexpected star of the palette. A muted, sophisticated pistachio green, it's both unique and surprisingly wearable. It's not a bright, Kelly green; rather, it possesses a subtle, earthy tone that adds depth and complexity to the eye. The texture is slightly more matte than the other shades, providing a velvety smooth finish that's perfect for creating definition in the crease. It can be built up for a more intense colour payoff, or blended softly for a subtle wash of colour. This shade is perfect for those looking to add a touch of unexpected colour to their makeup routine.
