Christian Dior - Make Up and Fashion Chic

You don't need to work in fashion or be an ber-fashionista to know the name Christian Dior. It is by far one of the most recognized names in the world of not only fashion, but all things beautiful like cosmetics and fragrances as well.

The House of Dior was created by a French man known as Christian Dior. The legendary pioneer in the fashion industry was born in the early nineteenth century and died within fifty two years.

What many don't know about Christian Doir is that he served time in the military and started his career in design by selling sketches in Paris not having any idea at the time that his flair for design would make him one of the biggest names in fashion that would live on long after him.

1947 was the year to reckon with in the world of fashion as new levels of elegance and style were introduced with a full skirt and a tiny waist which literally cinched on the sides and very prominent shoulders. Christian Dior took the world of fashion by storm and he could very well be attributed into turning France as the Mecca of fashion.

The success of the Dior empire in the fashion industry helped them branch out into other avenues where the purpose was to make every man and woman who use their products look beautiful and stunning. The empire of Dior now includes skin care products, make up which includes eye shadow and lipsticks. One of their best selling products has been the Diorshow mascara.

It is not as if makeup is the biggest success story of Dior but perfumes are also part of the makeup lines which are very popular. The Christian Dior name of perfumes includes Diorissimo, Dolce Vita perfume, Jadore, Hypnotic Poison and Pure Poison Perfume. It can be rightly said that in spite of been a bit expensive in certain select fragrances there are clear market leaders and have always stayed way ahead in the competition.

Anything that is luxurious has a certain price tag attached to it and it is the same with Christian Dior as most of their perfumes are considered a bit expensive. But you are in for a surprise when you come to know that there is cheaper variety of perfumes offered by the Dior Empire. Cheap and Dior are such opposites that you might very well choose to ignore such a statement. But the fact is that you don't need to visit expensive fragrance boutique to buy your Christian Dior fragrance but can find one at the drug store locally or at Walmart. Dune perfume and eau de toilette are sold here and are considered cheap and both of these perfumes were launched initially in the year 1991. But much before this Fahrenheit perfume, cologne and eau de toilette was launched in 1988 and they also form part of the cheaper versions introduced by Christian Dior.

Whether you're a fan of Christian Dior makeup, Christian perfume and cologne or his clothing and accessories; there is no denying that the Christina Dior name makes you feel more fashionable and luxurious than any other. It only takes one piece of the Christian Dior makeup collection or one spritz of one of a Christian perfume-even one of his cheap perfume-to make you feel like you're in Paris and strolling along the Champs Elysee.
