What Dior says about this blush :
“ A blush with a new whipped-gel sensation. With its revolutionary silicon resin system, it offers such an incredibly smooth application that it won’t upset previously applied foundation or face powder. Pro Cheeks blends so perfectly with the texture of skin that it embellishes and illuminates the complexion while giving the illusion that you’re wearing nothing at all—for hours on end.
Ultra-professional shades and application: To shape or highlight the face, professionals apply makeup with their fingertips. Pro Cheeks offers an ultra-simple application method and comes in a natural range of shades, each one a unique expression of freshness. “
(This Backstage make up blush is no longer featured on Dior’s international website, but is still very much available in India and on the net).
This blush comes in a square silver cardboard packaging. The glass container is square too, but the product is in a round built-in shape. It has a twist-to-close silver metal lid. It’s cute get-up makes it very easy to carry it in your handbag.
The creme-gel blush blends on the cheeks to a flawless finish, and it is best applied with the fingertips. This particular colour is a peachy-pinkish colour, with just a very, very microscopic amount of shimmer, and the colour is very intense – a little goes a long way. This is part of Dior’s Backstage Make Up Collection, which also features Gloss Show for the lips, amongst other Backstage make-up products. ( Gloss show for lips has the same packaging and container as this blush – review coming up soon for all those of you who, like me, love glitter). This blush appears to be fragrance-free, as there is virtually no smell at all.
This is what it looks like, just applied, not blended :

PROS OF DIOR PRO CHEEKS CREME BLUSH
- It is suitable for all skin types, including oily skin, as it dries to a matte finish.
- It has not caused me any break outs.
- I find it very convenient to use, even when in a hurry, as there is no need to search for a blush brush.
- I love the flush of colour it gives, which looks completely natural.
- It’s blendability is super.
- It’s wearability is long lasting.
- I always carry it along while travelling due to its cute size.
- We here in India are lucky as it’s still available here.
CONS OF DIOR PRO CHEEKS CRÈME BLUSH
- You always have to have clean fingers while applying this, in order to avoid contamination.
- There may be a very slight chance of the glass container breaking while your handbag or make up pouch is being roughed around while travelling, but considering the sturdyness of the same, I don’t think it will pose such a problem (I have never experienced this though, while travelling.
- Cant think of any other cons.
On a scale of 1 to 5, I would give it :-*:-*:-*:-*:-* .
I would definitely like to re-purchase this blush in other colours, like Catwalk Pink, and Girly Pink.

thats great now me too wanna join the gang for dior blush i do own lippies and they r my lucky charm …
the colour is smokin’ hot! now this is quality! a colour that all brands carry, yet dior makes it look so, so different.
Absolutely right, Rima. Couldn’t agree more. The difference is the quality.
Hey Sabrina….you know what I would do with the Christian Dior blush, I would scoop it out and throw and keep the cute jar in my showcase 😀 . I have used Christian Dior perfumes before and I have all kept the bottles with me after they got over…. :-D. BTW, the lippie is sooooooooooooo rich….would not mind paying that hefty amount coz its Christian Dior……
Yes, Jomol, the jar is really cute, and real sturdy too. I’m going to keep this jar and store something in it, like glitter, or maybe even loose powder to carry while travelling!
Wow, Rati, you are sooooooooooo intelligent….I am sooooo proud of you……..you win girl…hands down!!!! :inlove:
he he..I thought you were on bent eared donkey’s side. 😛
:hypnotized: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :drool: :drool:
The blush is simply gorgeous…
