DiorShow Blackout mascara lays claim to recreating the dramatic kohl effect. Its formula is said to combine carefully chosen elements to promote intensity and resistance.  But let’s what those promises translate to in real life.

Type of Mascara: Defining & Lengthening
Colors Available: Kohl Black
Price Range: Expensive

Product Description:

Dior reinvents mascara by incorporating make up artists’ techniques in one ingenious product. Courtesy of Black Fix Complex – a unique blend of deeply saturated pigments – this creamy formula is the first to reproduce the instensity of kohl. Thickening powder adds staying power, while an Arabian gum extract provides a perfect charcoal-like finish and adds to its incredible resistance.

My Experience:

If you like really dark, smoky eyes – this is the best mascara! This mascara dramatically transformed my lashes, not just the colour but it increased volume and thickness. The extra-large brush completely enrobed my lashes with a thick veil of black velvet in one slick sweep. However, it did take practice to get a really perfect application, as the brush is a little over-sized. Overall my lashes looked sensational but it’s a shame about the brush, if it was smaller it would be easier to apply.

Rating: Good

How would you compare this mascara to DiorShow mascara? Did you find the brush awkward too?
