I looooove Dior mascaras. I've been a fan of Mascara Parfait for years. I find that the fluffier brushes give me better coverage and less clumping.
When Diorshow came out I had to try it. Hate the packaging - it seems kind of tacky, and the price is high. But it gives me major lashes - maybe a bit too much for day, so I mainly use this for evening. I usually use Parfait, or Maximeyes, for the first coat, then put a coat or two of Diorshow over that.

I'm sorry, but I don't love this mascara. It is nice, but really does nothing special for me. I really like a blacker mascara & this is more of a brown-black. It goes on nicely (I was afraid that I would have trouble with the large brush, but it's okay.) & I really don't see any difference in this & my Mac Fibre Rich ($9.50) Mascara. I won't return it, it doesn't smear, flake or irritate my eyes, but I probably won't buy it again.

Great mascara. Buildable volume and holds the curl. Exactly what you would expect from a good volume mascara. Minimal flaking. The black is not truly black though..it should be..

Not a bad mascara, but not the best I've tried. Made my long lashes clump unfortunately. Also, it was very, very flaky. My lashes also felt quite stiff. I prefer more natural mascaras, I think. I was surprised that the big brush was actually very good! For dramatic effect mascaras, YSL Faux Cils kicks DiorShow's butt!

Average, not that great. The big brush doesnt bother me but the flaking does.

Will not be repurchasing

Definitely thickening, but it flakes unlike any other mascara I have tried. I mean, the flakes get in my eyes and all over my cheeks. Plus, it is perfumed, so if you have allergies or contacts, don't buy!!

I've been using this mascara for a week now and although it does lengthen my short asian lashes somewhat, it doesn't thicken at all. I was hoping that it would be better than my #1 favorite YSL Fauxcils but by itself it doesn't do anything for me that a drugstore mascara wouldn't do. I get more dramatic results using L'oreal's Volumious or Double Extend by themselves. Nothing can beat YSL's Fauxcils for volume, length and curl.

Although expensive, this really works on my very blonde eyelashes. Pops the eyes and thus far doesn't seem to be clumping. Love it. Been using it about 3 weeks now.

I'm going against the grain here - Diorshow did nothing for me. It was a regular mascara with a giant brush that made my lashes look cheap, all with a rather expensive pricetag.

Really not a fan. But so many people love it so I think it just works for some and not others...

The brush on this mascara is so BIG,if you are not careful you get mascara all over your face! i think if the brush wasnt that big it would be a good mascara.

This is a great volumizing mascara! I like the big brush... it seems to grab every lash and coat it.
The only thing is, if you use more than 2 coats, it starts to clump. I also didn't notice too much lengthening.
I liked this mascara enough that I bought it for my mom, though!

I was dissapointed with Diorshow, it was very dry and flaked alot on me also it didn't hold my curl at all although it did give very thick lashes.

I love this mascara - it separates my lashes, does not clump, makes my eyes look dramatic. You have to get used to the big brush, though, and it is rather expensive. Still, this is one of my favourites!

ALLERGY SUFFERERS BEWARE!! I am a mascara obsessed gal but I also have had several allergic reactions to mascara that contains fragrance. I only tried Diorshow once and wore it for about 3 hours. I woke up with red and swollen eyes. I had itchy,dry, red patches on my eyelids for a week. This is the normal response when I have an allergic reaction. I thought the mascara worked brilliantly and I had beautiful lashes. I naturally have long thick lashes, so I judge a mascara on how well it separates and doesn't clump. Too bad I can never wear it again!

Diorshow is not necessarily the HG of mascaras as I had thought it would be. Although I do think that it does lengthen my lashes for me and makes it look so natural after curling. But despite this, there are other comparable mascaras...granted maybe not the drug store ones...but like MAC, I found out real recently, also makes a great mascara and for much cheaper.

I like the result but the brush IS JUST HUGE. I think it is too big for most people and for me, it takes me very long time to apply the lower lashes with such big applicator. For such $, I would get Lancome's which never fails.

I LOVE this mascara! It really creates dramatic lashes on me. Expensive, but i'd shell out the money again!

I like this mascara, but I don't *love* it. It does give my skinny, skimpy lashes lots of length and thickness, but the brush is *huge* (and my eyes are not small) and it does smear a bit under the outside corners of my eyes by the end of a long day. I use Chestnut, which is a pretty, slightly reddish-brown color. For the $$$, I think you can get mascaras of similar quality at the drugstore, so I wouldn't pony up the $23 again.
