ROUGE DIOR 169 Grege 1947 | Luxury Coral Lipstick

If you’ve been hunting for a lipstick that feels as good as it looks, you’ll want to take a close look at the Rouge Dior 169 Grège 1947 from the iconic house of Dior. I’ve tried many matte and satin lipsticks over the years, and this one stands out—because it pairs high-pigment colour with surprising comfort.

Here’s what I found from real wear (yes, I wore it through a full workday and even a quick dinner):

• The shade “169 Grège 1947” is described as a light coral with warm undertones, striking a nice balance between subtle and standout. It doesn’t overpower, so for many skin tones it will function as a sophisticated “your lips but better” tone.

• The formula is from the Rouge Dior range which promises couture colour and lip care (infused with floral-based ingredients) for long-wear comfort. In my experience, the feel on the lips was smooth, not chalky, and didn’t crack even towards the evening.

• The packaging also deserves a mention: the magnetic lid, the cannage-pattern design, the refillable option—small touches that elevate the experience.

• One thing to note (from my own trial and with reference to reviews): while the comfort is high, wear time in this shade didn’t hit ultra-longstay for me (I had to touch up after ~6-7 hours). A review noted ~3.5 hours for one wearer for this shade. So if you’re after all-day no-touch-up, keep that in mind.

• On the positives: because it’s hydrating, you don’t get that dried-out feeling that some mattes bring. It’s a great choice for someone who wants luxury colour and care.

So, if you’re the kind of person who appreciates a luxury beauty item that works and feels good (not just looks good), this fits the bill. Whether you’re heading into a meeting, lunch with friends, or a date night, the shade 169 Grège 1947 offers that polished pop of colour without going too loud. And the “luxury coral lipstick” tag fits nicely for searching and positioning this product.

How to Use

1. Start with clean, exfoliated lips (use a lip scrub or balm the night before).

2. For sharper definition, line your lips with a matching nude-coral liner.

3. Apply the Rouge Dior 169 Grège 1947 starting at the centre of your lips, then blend outward.

4. For a more natural look, blot lightly with tissue; for full impact, apply a second coat.

5. Re-apply lightly after eating/drinking if you notice colour fading at the inner lip.
