Product reviews of Dior DiorShow Black Out Mascara
Review: Best mascara in the world!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
This mascara is AMAZING! Your eyelashes will look almost fake. I have gotten so many compliments. I will never use anything else again.
I really recommend taking it off before you go to bed. The black is really intense and it will get everywhere. It washes out well.
Review: Big Black Lashes But Expensive & Difficult to Apply
Beauty product: 3 Stars
This is a very black, gloppy mascara that you apply with an oversize wand. It requires patience and a steady hand to apply properly. The end result are black, thick, dramatic lashes.
Diorshow Blackout reminds me of mascaras from the 1960's when black, clumpy lashes were more the norm. Today, we are used to mascaras that are quick drying, easy to apply, add volume and/or length, do not flake or smudge and require little or no "wand wipe". Diorshow Blackout is a throwback to an earlier time.
The first thing one notices is, when the long wand with a giant brush is withdrawn from the tube, there is a large glob of black tar at the end of the brush. You must wipe the end of the brush prior to each use or you are certain to get this glob of black tar on the bridge of your nose. You do not want this mascara anywhere other than on your lashes! Keep it off your face, your hair, your fingers. It is very difficult to remove! Keep a tissue and a Q-Tip handy, you will need them.
If you are in a rush, have limited time devoted to applying your makeup, are far from a mirror, are in a dimly lighted area, have anything but the most steady of hands, and are not able to hold your breath for long periods of time.....this is not a mascara for you! Application requires complete and utter concentration. I consider myself experienced in makeup application and Diorshow Blackout requires a good deal of effort.
In order to properly apply this mascara, set aside a good amount of uninterrupted time, make sure you are totally alone (lock the door behind you?), sit down infront of a well lighted mirror and relax. Clip your hair back. Withdraw the wand from the tube and wipe the end of the brush. Hold your breath and do not dare blink as you slowly and carefully run the brush through your lashes. Allow to dry slightly and then slowly repeat. Until the mascara dries, do not open your eyes wide as you will get black dots on your upper lid. This mascara does not dry quickly. You have to be patient. You can build up layers and length but you have to go slowly and carefully. Especially tricky are the short inner lashes which require a Zen stillness and an almost dry brush. Wait until the top lashes are dry before tackling the bottom lashes.
This effort will get you very dramatic, black, thick lashes appropriate for going out at night. Is it worth the time, the effort or the expense? I am not sure. I bought it, I am going to use it up. Having to wipe the wand during each application ensures faster depletion. This is an expensive product and much of it is wasted on a tissue in your wastepaper basket.
There are good, inexpensive mascaras that don't quite provide the same dramatic effect but are easy to apply, quick drying and don't flake or smudge. Max Factor Volume Couture is a good choice.

Review: DO NOT BUY
Beauty product: 1 Stars
I am a long time fan of DiorShow and never leave home without. When Blackout came out, I was excited. I believed it would be an improvement but boy was I surprised. It doesn't work like Diorshow. I have sad bleh lashes with it. But worst of all, YOUR LASHES FALL OUT. I am not the only one. My friend who told me about Blackout had the same problem as did another friend. Something about this just makes them so stiff the plunk out. Diorshow is perfect and I'll never dare put my lashes through any more tests. Review: Diorshow Black Out Mascara
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I became exclusive with Diorshow mascara a number of years ago simply because there isn't any other mascara that compares. It has a dramatic effect on your lashes, and I have big eyes with long lashes as it is, so I can understand that those who have smaller eye lids and short lashes would shy away from a brush as big and full as this one. The Black Out version of Diorshow is even more dramatic with it's deep shade and exactly what I look for in a mascara.
This product is for you if you want over-the-top lashes.
I recommend if you're going to spend nearly $30 on mascara that don't purchase it online without trying it first - everyone's eye lashes are different... but for me this mascara is perfect.
