Product reviews of Dior DiorShow Black Out Mascara
Review: Don't buy if you're expecting Dior Show.
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I have used Dior Diorshow Mascara exclusively for the past few years and I'm in LOVE with it. I bought the DiorShow Black Out thinking it was the same thing as DiorShow but just a darker black. It's not. The brush is different, a lot thinner. The effect it has on your lashes is completely different. It elongates more than DiorShow but it doesn't have the same plumping effect it's supposed to, it just clumps a lot more. It's enriched with black powder so it kind of flakes off and ends up under your eyes and in the creases giving you Raccoon Eyes by the end of the day (unlike Dior Show that you could wear for 24 hours straight and it won't budge). I found that since it's so elongating I get the powdery rub-off on the top of my eye lids on my brow bone. All in all, it's not a bad mascara, but I hate having to touch up my makeup so it's not the mascara for me. Review: Don't waste your money

Horrible mascara! I get smudgy racoon eyes after one hour of applying it. This product is really not worth its price. Review: False Eyelashes?

I was very disappointed several years ago when I purchased the DiorShow Waterproof mascara, as it was not waterproof by any stretch of the imagination and was very weak as far as how much it lengthened and voluminized my eyelashes. I was at Sephora a little while ago and I noticed a test tube of this mascara lying around at the Dior counter. On a whim, I decided to use one of the tester wands and see how it worked. I loved the smooth formula and how it made my eyelashes look infinitely longer and wider, but not clumped. I bought the mascara.
I use this mascara daily now on my top eyelashes and I absolutely love it. I do have somewhat long and thick natural eyelashes, but they are a very light brown. This really brings them out, and the color is intense but beautiful. I've been asked several times now if I was wearing false lashes! The complaint that I have is pretty significant, though. I like to use mascara on my bottom lashes, so I tried this mascara and it looked great when I first applied it, but a couple of hours later I was walking around with pre-mascara bottom lashes and a bunch of weird smudge marks under my eyes. I don't think smudging is acceptable for a $20+ mascara, but I really can't complain because I love what it does to my upper lashes so much. Definitely recommended, but be careful!
Review: Good GLaM.

I'm an artist/ model/ actress/ music producer/ singer in L.A.- and here in this urban jungle, all girls have to look really good. and most girls look like they have just walked out of Vogue. So... I thought I would spend my food/paint money to buy a little beauty since we aren't really encouraged to eat anyways... Well, I have to say that this mascara... combined with Smashbox High Definition Foundation is a stunning combo.
I use an "eco tools foundation brush" I picked up from Target with the foundation for a more dewy, radiant look... I coat my lashes with this Dior ( I like that the mascara can be built upon) and add a bit of liner on my lips and eyes, smudge of contour and blush to make me look younger and "healthy" and a splash of colour on my lids and my mug can be ready now in under 10. Not ready. Brilliant. Camera ready. L.A. shark repellant ready. Paris Hilton, Angelina Jolie ready.
Or course, no product is perfect. And if one is, I have yet to discover it. Now, I have dry L.A. desert skin and must moisturize all the time. So when people speak of "raccoon eyes", well, I have never experienced that. My skin is too dry and it takes a bit of oil to let the make up migrate across one's face... however... ALL that being said.... For the first time in my life, i had smudging issues with a mascara. I also experienced some eye irritation. This is coming from a girl who grew up in the theatre/ ballet and gone to the industry of Hollywood- nothing is kind to your face.
Yet, this mascara made my eyes water... Curiously, when I cry... it doesn't run. And that is a plus. While I would recommend this to a friend (because whenever I wear it with the above make up combo, I am constantly told great things about my facial features, and who doesn't want to be pretty?), I am going to try the other Dior mascara people are talking about and see if it is better or worse.

I have naturally really long eyelashes and I like to accentuate them, as I think they are my best feature. I had been forever searching for a mascara that provides a lot of definition without fibers that come loose and get stuck in my contacts or fall flat or straight after a couple hours of wear. This is the best I have found, both in department and drugstores. It stays put but also washes off easily. It makes my lash curl last all day instead of just an hour and I always get compliments when I wear it.
