The DIOR Backstage Rosy Glow Blush line uses pH-activating technology that, in theory, makes the blush look different on each person, resulting in a custom color. For holiday 2025, DIOR released 3 shades, and I decided to try shade 830 Fiery Red. I have not tried any of the shades from the permanent collection, so I’m not sure how this formula compares. The brand’s major claims for this blush are that it is long-wearing and buildable, and I agree. This particular shade is supposed to give a blurred finish, unlike the other 2 holiday shades, which have a pearlescent finish. It is not as smoothing as some other blushes that I’ve tried, but I don’t think it accentuates texture either. While the DIOR Backstage Rosy Glow Blush is technically fragrance-free, the formula contains raspberry ketone, which gives it a scent. I can smell it when I open it and apply it, but I don’t notice it while I’m wearing it.

**DIOR Backstage Rosy Glow Blush 830 Fiery Red, $44 (limited edition)

I like the color of DIOR’s Fiery Red blush more than I like the formula. As the brand says, it is buildable, which I can appreciate. However, I don’t think it blends as nicely as my favorite formulas (MAC, Pat McGrath). I also don’t think it blends as nicely as some of my drugstore blushes (Revlon, CoverGirl). It looks pretty and wears well, but I just don’t feel it was worth $44. For reference, my best shade matches are Estee Lauder 4W4 Hazel and NARS Tahoe, but I can’t account for how my personal pH might be altering the color.

Comparison Swatch (Dior Fiery Red vs Pat McGrath Paradise Venus)

These formulas are not similar, but if you are curious about the Pat McGrath formula, I have two reviews here and here.

Comparison Swatches (MAC Heat Index, DIOR Fiery Red, CoverGirl Strawberry Drizzle)

As you can see, I don’t have any blushes that are quite as red as DIOR Fiery Red, but I like to compare anyway, just to give the shade some context. And again, these formulas are not similar to the DIOR Rosy Glow formula. If you are curious, I do have a review of the CoverGirl TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Blush.

So, there you have it. There is nothing wrong with the DIOR Rosy Glow Blush; I just prefer other formulas. **The DIOR Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in 830 Fiery Red is a limited edition item, but it is still available at Nordstrom if you’re interested. It is also still available directly through the DIOR Beauty website.
