Don't buy if you're expecting Dior Show.
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.
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.

Unbelievable
I've been reading about this mascara for a while now and wasn't sure if I should get it. I'm into very high end products and buy Pevage MD for my skin and Prevage eye, etc, Estee Lauder, etc. I figure you get what you pay for and instead of having drawers full of stuff I don't need, I'll buy the few expensive things I really dig.
Well...let me tell you...this masara is UNREAL. I put it on in Sephora and had compliments before I went out the door. The brush is big and fluffy but that is what makes it a joy to put on...it goes on evenly and doesn't clump (if you do it correctly). I cannot get over the dramatic effect it has on my look. I don't put mascara on my lower lashes, just my top so I can't say if it would smudge or not. All I can say is try it!!!!! I LOVE IT.
