This mascara makes some claims to fame and is undoubtedly a VIP of Dior’s Backstage Make-up line. So is this Ultra-Lengthening Curving Mascara the ‘one to watch’? Let’s see what happened in the dress-rehearsal…

Type of Mascara: Lengthening & Curling
Colours Available: Chestnut, Azure Blue & Black
Price Range: Expensive

Product Claims:

Show stopping lashes in a flash! Born of high glamour, exclusive technology and trade secrets from the pros, the Back Stage make-up line embodies the Dior Haute Couture spirit. Its extra fix formula takes lashes to new extremes while a semi-curved brush offers a flat side for extreme lengthening and a curved side for intense curling. Stunning!

My Experience:

I was relieved to see the brush wasn’t quite as big as the other Diorshow mascara, it is hard to apply. And finally a novel design that actually gets results! The double-sided brush noticeably lengthened and curled my lashes. The only unpleasant surprise was that towards the end of the day there was some very apparent smudging. This is not what I expected from a high range mascara such as Dior. I felt disappointed and short-changed.

Overall Rating: Bad

Price: $24 at sephora.com
