This product is amazing! I was hesitant to buy the product when i was at the dior counter as I'm not a mascara girl, my eyes are quite sensitive and in winters, they get red easily, especially with mascara on, but I also always want to try new products and that I trust my beauty advisor there. She tried it on my lashes with the diorshow mascara after, my lashes turned very thick and as if I was wearing false lashes! I instantly looked like a doll. She told me a few of the Lancome girls got this product too as they like it better than the lancome's, so i gave in. I tried the lancome one before and I didnt like it that much so I returned it.

After I got this serum, I have been using mascara more often, in which usually i only use eyeliner. This one dries almost clear (some white tips), it plumps up my lashes without adding weight to it. My eyes arent as red as when I use mascara alone (this might have sth to do with the sleep i get too). And when I remove the eye makeup, it makes the mascara to come off so much easier. I only pad the cotton on my eyes for like a minute and everything dissolves on the cotton. However, I do not notice any lengthening or darkening of lashes "yet" since I've only been using this for about 2 weeks and I do not use it at night.

Wonderful! This is the perfect primer for any mascara as it certainly helps leave your mascara long lasting and not flakey. But best of all, it really does help make your lashes longer, fuller, and darker!
But like most of the other eyelash serums out there, after use, your lashes return back to normal. But overall, very pleased with this product!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I was timid buying this at first because of the price and know that a lot of these eye lash serums do not work. I went ahead and purchased it and use it as a primer under my mascara. I don't use it at night. After about a week, I actually noticed some of my eyelashes were uneven (due to the growth) so I knew it was working. About 4 weeks later I noticed my eyelashes were darker, fuller, and a lot longer! I am in love with it. I will probably be using this for a long time.

Girls, in this case, what you pay is what you get. I must say I really like this stuff. I'm always looking for the final mascara, the one that leaves my lashes curled, with intense volume and lenght, that's why I decided to try this serum.
It is smoothy and very easy applying and it´s not just a plumper but also an incredible treatment. It leaves your lashes moisturized, strengthened, curled, lengthened and, obviously, volumized.It´s kind of all in one,and I think it´s better than Talika´s.Your lashes will look separated but in a beautiful natural way.
I usually wears HR Lash Queen Feline or Stravaganza because I love the false lash effect on my eyelashes but I have to say that they are not the best choice to put over this magic serum.Though it doesn´t clump at all, you won´t get best results if you put 2 or more coats of those mascaras,(they look absolutely dramatic worn alone) in that case I recommend YSL faux cils or HR Lash Queen Sexy Blacks, specially in Burgundy (cute colour if you're tanned or with green eyes).
Great product, great treatment, great results.Definitely recommended to all.

After years of using waterproof mascara without using the proper makeup remover, my lashes are dinky. I wasn't super impressed with this stuff at first because it seemed to just make my lashes stiff and made mascara going on look clumpy but after using it at night as well as under mascara during the day, I can see a noticeable difference in the growth, strength and length of my eyelashes !!! I find that if I use Diorshow mascara ontop of it, it doesn't go on clumpy like my drugstore mascaras.. which is fine by me, I was just looking for an excuse to buy more Dior makeup anyways ;) but seriously, $30 isn't expensive for what this product achieves.

I have used this mainly as a lash serum and its amazing!!! I put it on every night with my night time routine, its goes from white to clear and after a short while i've noticed my lashes look a good bit fuller and are stronger.

As a mascara base its pretty amazing, it fans out your lashes and seperates them so mascaras don't clump as easily. Lashes look miles longer and i get loads of compliments every time i use it.

Dior please never discontinue this product, it has now become something i could never live without

So I have a love/hate relationship with this stuff. I wear it under Dior exstase mascara and its awesome. I mean I love some thick, almost clumpy lashes and I find the combo of the primer and exstase together do it for me but taking the mascara off is a whole different story. I feel like I end up ripping out more lashes trying to take it off and have seen no improvement in the lash plumping treatment aspect of the product even with oil based eye makeup removers and oil based cleansers.That's why I knocked off a star but other than that this stuff is fabulous!

Simply the best mascara base/ serum I have ever tried! I tried almost all the department store mascara base out there, Estee Lauder, Lancome, Clinique... none of them hold the curls as good as this one. It gives everything I want, fullness, length, definition, curls, growth. I will repurchase this till the end of the world !!!

This helps my lashes hold a curl, stay separated, and look thicker and longer. I use it under DiorShow mascara for day. I used to use a Make Up For Ever lash primer. I prefer this because, in addition to length and thickness, this gives excellent definition.

The only complaint I have is that, unlike the DiorShow mascara, the applicator cannot be bent at the point where the brush and the shaft meet. (I find that doing this helps with mascara application.

Amazing results! Have been using day and night for 3 months now and Wow! I have not curled my lashes since, they are curlier, longer and thicker. My eyelashes are usually short and semi-straight. I use it every night with my night routine and in the morning under my mascara. For anyone not using mascara it does dry clear after a few minutes. Looks amazing with their new Extase mascara, gives me false lash effect. Love it!

Like others, I was relying on Shiseido's mascara base until I realized it really wasn't doing what it used to. I tried this and never looked back. The brush isn't great - swiping it on like normal mascara doesn't deposit enough product, I have to just use the end of the brush where it concentrates - but otherwise, it's awesome and I have no plans to try another brand.

Amazing!! It is by far better than Lancome and Shiseido. I have straight lashes and this primer plumps and curls my lashes in a way i"ve never seen before. I will never be without it. Expensive but worth it!

I have never really used a primer before and the woman at Sephora mentioned this plumping serum to be new and the best they had in the store. I was a little weary to pay almost $30 for a (to me) white mascara... however this purchase has been so worth it. It does exactly what it is supposed to do! It lengthens your lashes prior to applying mascara and makes your lashes look like falsies after you put on the black mascara. I love this serum and how it coats and defines each one of my lashes. I will never try another primer because not only does this one condition and strengthen my lashes, it allows the mascara to stay on longer and do its job 110%!!!!

Far away better than similar products of Shiseido and Lancome which I have used so far. Shiseido must have changed the formula, since it clumps now and dires out easily. As for Lancome, it leaves white residue when applying the mascara and it is hard to remove. But this one lives up to its promises, doesn't clum, gives volume. I have no idea about lash growth since I bought it nowadays.

This product is fantastic! I havent been using it for long at all and I definitely have some growth. I use it as a primer in the morning and a treatment at night. I hate lash primers but this one is AMAZING it makes your lashes twice the size that they really are.

An extremely good mascara base. I've used those from Lancome, Shiseido, Shu Uemura and Chanel (didn't like the Shiseido mascara base btw), and been sticking to the Chanel one till I found THIS! It somehow manages to fatten up the lashes whilst making mascara application easier and less clumpy and separates the lashes well! Even on the second application! A magic wand indeed!!

I love this plumping serum, I wish it was coloured, so that i could skip using regular mascara!
It is amazing, it makes my lashes so long and full, i also use it as a night treatment, but it's too early to give a fair review...I'll keep you updated,though!

I've not had to use mascara for a while because I wore lash extensions for a long time. I decided to quit those to save money (each refill cost $75). My lashes looked like they were left in a sorry state after the last lash fell off. I read all the good reviews about this guy and honestly I've seen results. My lower lashes seem like they've grown a lot faster than the top for some reason, what's odd is that everyone else here said they didn't see much improvement in length, and I totally have seen them grow longer. I think when I apply the primer and then mascara I see lots of volume, but my lashes just bare don't look like they've plumped up any more than usual. Definitely longer.
I plan to continue to use this every day and see just how much longer I can get them.

Excellent primer--the best I've used so far! After reading such rave reviews for this product, I stumbled across it when I was at Sephora and decided to give it a shot, even though I hadn't finished using my Talika product. I really was skeptical at first when I read other reviews saying they saw results almost immediately, but it's true!

I went directly from using the Talika product (which was more expensive but saw some volume-plumping after a few months use) to the Diorshow plumping serum, and so I had a good gauge of whether it was working or not: It worked! After about a week, I noticed an additional voluminous increase in my lashes. I'd have to agree with some of the other reviewers and say that it didn't lengthen as much but added volume (hey, I'll take what I can get).

The downside: It's quite pricey. Also, I don't use it as a base before putting on my mascara because it is quite goopy and stark white when you put it on, but mainly because I don't have the patience to wait for it to dry, either. It also doesn't hold the curl as well as I would like it to. It is still better, though, than all the other mascara primers I've used thus far, which includes Urban Decays (the worst), Shu Uemura (good primer but does not lengthen or volumize), and Talika (so-so volumizer).

I am all about lashes right now and I love this product. It glides smoothly and is a addition under my mascara. My lashes look the best ever. My daily routine at night is first Latisse then Diorshow Maximizer and in the morning just Diorshow Maximizer and any mascara. I have never ever in my entire life had such beautiful long lashes! Love this and will continue to buy it.
