That\u2019s exactly why so many 2016 looks and products are getting a second wind in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/beauty\/2026-makeup-trends\">2026<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/culture\/celebrity-cut-crease-eyeshadow-looks\">cut-crease eyeshadow<\/a> and all. While liquid matte lipsticks are also back in the mix, they\u2019re nothing like the dry, cakey formulas you wore a decade ago (most likely in a mauve shade). Today, the shine-free look has been rebranded as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/beauty\/halo-lip-trend\">blurred lip<\/a>s.\u201d Seen on virtually every cool girl, from Hailey Bieber to Zo\u00eb Kravitz, this take on the matte lip is defined by a diffused wash of color with soft edges. And brands are going all-in on the blurred lip, including Dior, with the launch of the Dior Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike the liquid lipsticks that made you swear off the product category for good, this formula is hydrating so it feels comfortable on your lips, and it has buildable coverage so you can effortlessly move from a true \u201cblurred lip\u201d look or go for a bolder matte finish. <\/p>\n<p>So can this modern, luxury take on liquid lipsticks convince TZR editors to ditch our lip glosses and satin lipsticks?

It has a light, airy texture that doesn\u2019t get dry and flaky with wear, thanks to hydrating and smoothing peony and pomegranate flower extracts. Speaking of wear time, the brand says the formula\u2019s oils and polymers keep it transfer-proof for up to 12 hours. But what really makes the Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte feel of-the-moment is the buildable, blurred finish. One coat gives you a soft, diffused look, while a second (or third) coat delivers a bolder, opaque look. The application is just as customizable. It comes with a cushiony rounded applicator with a tip that molds to your lips. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe formula of our new Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte is a true gem, it\u2019s a lightweight liquid that applies smoothly, the result is a beautiful matte blurry finish. You can intensify the color by simply layering. With every stroke you add, you intensify the depth of your shade. For a natural hint of color or a dramatic lip finish, this product delivers.\u201d Peter Philips, creative and image director for Dior makeup, says in a statement.  <\/p>\n<p>Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte comes in 10 shades, including Dior favorites such as 999 red and 558 Rosewood Star. <\/p>\n<h2>Our Experiences &amp; Results <\/h2>\n<h3>Erin Lukas, Deputy Beauty Editor, Wearing 122 Captivating Rose <\/h3>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR zRg CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div class=\"pxF mvL s-1669870167\">.s-1669870167{padding-top:133.3333%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-1669870167{padding-top:133.3333%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/9\/1\/5668f8bb\/img_8857.jpeg?w=414&amp;h=552&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite>Erin Lukas <\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t partake in the 2016 liquid lipstick craze because they felt like having a tight, flaky coat of Elmer\u2019s Glue on your lips, and I didn\u2019t like that many of the shades had gray undertones. That said, I\u2019m into the current effortless blurred look that\u2019s trending so I was down to give this matte liquid lippie a try. My makeup style is generally minimal, so I opted to take 122 Captivating Rose for a spin. In lieu of a full-pigmented look, I applied a coat focused on the center of my lips and blended it out with a brush for a diffused finish. I put it to the test while attending night one of Harry Styles\u2019 <em>Together, Together <\/em>tour residency at New York City\u2019s Madison Square Garden. I didn\u2019t do any kissing, but I did dance a ton, sip on a few Aperol Spritzes, and nosh on greasy waffle fries. At the end of the night, I was pleasantly surprised that my lip was still intact \u2014 it just looked more like a lived-in tint. Most importantly, I forgot I had it on my lips. The 2016 liquid lipsticks could never.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>Eden Stuart, Beauty News Writer, Wearing 620 Shocking Peach <\/h3>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR zRg CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M RlV\">\n<div class=\"pxF mvL s-1766685113\">.s-1766685113{padding-top:158.9%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-1766685113{padding-top:158.9%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte Review \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/8\/31\/e85b845c\/img_5047.jpg?w=414&amp;h=658&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite>Eden Stuart<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think the main reason matte lipsticks went out of fashion in the first place (outside of the natural trend cycle, of course) is comfort, or lack thereof: It doesn&#8217;t matter how long your lippie lasts if it leaves you feeling crusty and dusty. I&#8217;m happy to report that that isn&#8217;t a problem at all with the Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Mattes. They definitely have a true matte finish, in my opinion, but never feel dry or get flaky, and they layer really beautifully. (This is great for us old-school, pigmented lip girlies.) I was also super impressed by how they faded into a nice, soft blur; I wore shade 861 Bold in Red to Katz&#8217;s Delicatessen, ate a huge pastrami sandwich, and didn&#8217;t find any errant swipes of red on my face after I finished eating. In these pics, I&#8217;m wearing shade 620 Shocking Peach with a brown lip liner.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Angela Melero, Editorial Director, Wearing 480 Rose Icone<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR zRg CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div class=\"pxF mvL s994015305\">.s994015305{padding-top:116.9265%}@media(min-width:768px){.s994015305{padding-top:116.9265%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/9\/1\/7ee98e67\/dior-1.jpeg?w=414&amp;h=484&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite>Angela Melero<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cFull disclosure, I\u2019ve been on a lip gloss kick for the past year, so matte finishes have not been on my radar for some time. Perhaps it\u2019s 2010s fatigue: The formulas of yesteryear were notoriously drying and would crack and flake within hours, if not minutes. That said, I trust a Dior Beauty product with my life, so when I caught wind of this new no-transfer, blurring matte, I was willing to put my previous prejudice aside in the name of research. I put the liquid lipstick to the ultimate test, wearing it to the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine, California, setting it against scorching humid temps, sweat, sips, corndog-munching, and endless singing. To say I was impressed is an understatement. In addition to the great color payoff \u2014 I love the punchy rose hue \u2014 the formula truly did not budge all day. It kept its blurry, stain-like finish for almost 10 hours. The rest of my face sweated off, but my lip color stayed vibrant and intact. And, yes, I loved the smoothing, blurring finish on my lips \u2014 like a great Instagram filter!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Eman Naseer, Assistant Social Editor, Wearing <b>200 Nude Pulse &amp; 558 Rosewood Star<\/b><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR zRg CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div class=\"pxF mvL s-2032582545\">.s-2032582545{padding-top:127.7281%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-2032582545{padding-top:127.7281%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dior Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/9\/1\/7f89c031\/img_9593.heic?w=414&amp;h=529&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite>Eman Naseer<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIn my teenage years, I couldn\u2019t get enough of the liquid lipstick trend. In fact, it was my first real introduction to experimenting with lip color. If anyone else fell victim to the mid-2010s purple lip, let me know so we can start a support group. Looking back at those pictures, my lips were in serious need of moisture, which is why I swore off the fad entirely. Ten years later, my 18-year-old self would be thrilled to know that these Dior lipsticks have me hooked again. The difference? I can confidently say I won\u2019t look back at photos a decade from now and cringe. I mixed two shades \u2014 Nude Pulse and Rosewood Star \u2014 over a brown lip liner for the ultimate pinky nude. After one croissant, multiple coffees, and a full day of braving the New York City elements, the color stayed completely intact. The formula delivers a soft matte finish without the dryness, wearing down into a gorgeous blurred lip effect instead of cracking. This Dior lipstick proved to me that sometimes the trends that traumatized us in the past deserve another chance, because they might just get it right the second time around.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Is Dior\u2019s Rouge Dior On Stage Ink Blur Matte Worth It? <\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019ve always been Team Liquid Matte Lipstick or the internet has influenced you to give the product another shot, this one from Dior is the perfect option. Not only does it have staying power and feel comfortable on the lips, the formula is customizable to suit a range of makeup styles and preferences. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"fX2 rhF jIS\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"display:block\" class=\"lqj TnP\">\n<div class=\"BMP\">\n<div>(Stay Up To Date)<\/div>\n<div class=\"nnm\">Become A Style Insider<\/div>\n<div class=\"P8h\">Join The Zoe Report\u2019s exclusive email list for the latest trends, shopping guides, celebrity style, and more.<\/div>\n<div><button type=\"submit\" class=\"Ex8 qgj\">Submit<\/button><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-0\">By subscribing to this BDG newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/terms-of-service\" target=\"_blank\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/privacy-policy\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/newsletter\">Subscribe to our newsletter &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.page-484999696{&#8211;slot4:#bb2114;&#8211;slot7:#bb2114;&#8211;slot11:#bb2114;&#8211;slot13:#bb2114;&#8211;slot14:#bb2114;&#8211;metaColor:#bb2114;&#8211;navColor:#bb2114} (Trial Run) Dior\u2019s New Lip Launch Will Make You Love Liquid Lipsticks Again 2016 is calling. by Erin Lukas 2 hours ago Angela Melero Trial Run We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.
