Dior’s New Skin Veil and On Set Powder Are the Ultimate Complexion Duo

Meet Dior Forever Skin Veil and On Set Powder, the latest additions to the iconic Forever collection that deliver glow, blur and long-lasting wear.

Designed to prep, perfect and set, the new additions reflect the backstage expertise of Peter Philips, creative and image director for Dior Make-up, whose years working under the unforgiving lights of runway shows and photoshoots inspired the collection.

When we sat down with Philips in Seoul earlier this year for an exclusive preview, he explained that the concept was rooted in practicality. “For me, Skin Veil and Velvet Veil are more like the practical part of make-up. A primer has always been the most important thing to me because it helps your make-up last longer. From a make-up artist’s backstage point of view, the primer aspect was always the most important thing. And if you can add some extra ingredients to boost the care of the skincare ingredients, then that’s always great.”

Available in two finishes, Dior Forever Skin Veil delivers a radiant, hydrated base with a lightweight texture infused with soft pink undertones and pearlescence to subtly enhance luminosity before foundation. Velvet Veil, meanwhile, offers a jelly-like texture that blurs pores and controls shine without leaving skin looking flat. Both formulas are infused with hyaluronic acid, combining skincare benefits with the performance of a high-performing primer.

Philips also pointed to the growing expectation that make-up should care for the skin as much as it perfects it. “Consumers these days want skincare in everything, from your eyeshadow to your mascara. I don’t think they want it to replace skincare because nothing is as pleasant as doing a proper skincare routine. But the fact that consumers expect skincare elements to merge with cosmetic elements is a more modern approach. It’s almost logical.”

Completing the trio is Dior Forever On Set Powder, an ultra-blurring loose powder developed to set the complexion without masking it. Formulated without talc and available in translucent shades that adapt across skin tones, it blurs imperfections while helping foundation resist heat and humidity, all while maintaining a barely-there finish.

Philips believes its arrival also marks the return of an often overlooked category. “People associated loose powder with old-fashioned style make-up. But like everything in beauty and fashion, it comes back. Once new generations discover the benefits of a loose powder, they’ll start playing with it and they’ll love it because it’s kind of amazing.”

He adds, “You can do a little dusting over the face. It helps set the make-up, keeps it long-lasting and lets you control different zones. Because it’s loose, you can achieve a much finer texture than with a compact powder.”

Together with the reformulated Dior Forever Skin Glow and Skin Wear foundations, the new primers and On Set Powder complete a complexion routine designed for the modern woman, balancing skincare, long wear performance and an imperceptible finish.
