On March 6th, Dior will launch Pro Face Creator and Pro Eye Creator in Japan, two luxury items with rather hefty price tags.
The Pro Face Creator includes a blusher, a concealer, a highlighting powder, a shading powder, Backstage Mini Cheek Brush, Backstage Concealer/ Highlighter Applicator, and a gold cannage case.
The Pro Eye Creator includes a choice among 5-Color Designers, 5-Color Eyeshadow Palettes, and 5-Color Iridescent Eyeshadow Palettes, as well as DiorShow Iconic mascara (090), Backstage Eyeshadow Brush M, and a gun-metallic silver cannage case.
It seems that, since Night Diamond and Lady Dior, Dior hasn’t stopped coming up with pricey items. The Pro Face Creator is priced at 12,600 JPY (142 USD, 100 GPB), while the Pro Eye Creator is priced between 16,590 and 16,695 (187 USD and 132 GBP on average), depending on which eye palette a customer chooses. (It doesn’t help when yen is very strong at the moment. This time last year, 12,600 JPY equaled 118 USD and 59 GBP.)
At the moment, I am not sure if both items will be sold outside Japan. (Any Dior set that involves a customer’s choice of color is usually exclusive to Japan.) If the Pro Face Creator is available internationally, I will be very interested in its prices in various countries.

Sorry for being OT but could you give any advice on what a good dewy makeup foundation/tinted moisturizer would be? I mean what brand?BTW I really like your insight on Japanese makeup culture-very interesting:)
i think these two look better than any of the spring 09 collection. i hate both quints from spring. nothing much show up on me and too many neutrals for dior already.
the first palette seems to be practical. but then again, i need to check them out in person. i guess i have way too much dior already.
wow! those prices are off the hook!
Hi,
Thank you for your kind words!
I tend to look for foundations that have a matte finish, so I am afraid I am not the best person to recommend foundations/ tinted moisturizers that have a dewy finish. But I remember that I tried a sample of Clinique’s Dewy Smooth liquid foundation, and the finish is indeed dewy. The texture of the foundation is very smooth as well.
Hope it helps, and thank you for your question! :)
Hi Jojoba,
I tested the Elégante palette at the counter, and, yes, I did wonder whether some people might think some of the colors are too light.
I would love to be able to see the Pro Face Creator in person. The blusher in the set looks nice in the photo but I would like to have a closer look.
(You do have quite a few lovely items from Dior! :))
Thank you for posting your thoughts again! :)
