Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer is the house's best-known plumping gloss, now reworked with a formula that is 90% natural-origin, a redesigned case and a refreshed shade line-up. It is built to do two jobs at once: give lips a fuller look and keep them comfortable, thanks to cherry oil and hyaluronic acid. Wear it alone for shine, or use it underneath lipstick as a smoothing base.

What it actually does

• Makes lips look bigger. Dior positions this as a volumising gloss that visibly smooths the lip surface while adding the look of fullness.
• Holds hydration. Hyaluronic acid and cherry oil are the two ingredients the brand highlights for comfort; Dior states up to 24h of hydration.
• Brand-reported testing. In a Dior clinical test on 28 subjects, the brand reports a 36%+ immediate volume effect and 48%+ smoother lips. A separate instrumental test on 30 subjects supports the 24h hydration claim. Self-reported and instrumental brand data — your experience may differ.
• Reformulated, not just repackaged. 90% natural-origin ingredients, calculated to the ISO 16128-1 and ISO 16128-2 standard with water included; the rest of the formula handles performance, texture and stability.
• Shade range with different levels of shine. From completely clear to intense colour, plus shimmer and holographic options.

How to use

1. As a gloss. Sweep straight onto bare lips for a mirror-like shine.
2. As a primer. Apply, blot off the excess, then put your lipstick over the top — lips stay smoother and more hydrated underneath the colour.
3. Top up through the day. It reapplies cleanly without needing a mirror.

Caution from Dior: for external use on non-irritated lips only, and keep it away from the eyes. A light tingle or warmth is expected with this formula; if you get any other irritation, stop using it.

Questions

Does it sting?

Dior's own caution note describes a tingling sensation or localised warmth as linked to the product, so a mild tingle is part of how it feels. Anything stronger than that counts as irritation and you should stop using it.

Can I wear it over lipstick instead of under?

The two uses Dior lists are gloss on bare lips and primer underneath lipstick. Layering it on top is a normal gloss habit, but the plumping and smoothing claims are based on the two official methods.

Which shade should I pick?

If you mainly want shine and plump, go for a clear or sheer shade so it works over everything. Choose an intense, shimmering or holographic shade if you want the gloss to be the lip look on its own. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll tell you what's currently available.
