Not at all, the waterproof one does.

Absolutely not! But I think Dior has a water proof formula.

This mascara is NOT waterproof. However it does not smudge or run easily. I keep a tube of waterproof mascara for times when I know I will need it.

Nope. But clean-up is easy, and re-application looks okay after tears.

yes it does! you know when you wake up sometimes and just have watering eyes? well this formula is strong enough so that it doesnt go runny.

it can run if you have major water works going on. but a few drips from the sky doesn't seem to be a big deal. I like that i can actually take it off at night.

It's not waterproof, so it will run in the rain or due to tears, but a little less so than other mascaras.

This mascara will smear easily if your eyes tear. Not pretty.

It doesn't seem to smuge through normal wear, but it is definitely not tear-proof.

This product stays on well even when it's humid or if your eyes tear up

It runs, so don't wear it if you are crying or swimming.

yes

IMO, unless you get diorshow waterproof(which kinda didn't work well on my lashes), this doesn't really stay through tears or water.

yes, but for extra long wear and water resistance try Waterproof Diorshow mascara, it is also a top mascara at Sephora and has the same amazing effect as regular Diorshow.

Stays on really well. I don't get raccoon eyes at all. Of course it will run if you cry or rub it!

Not really, I would opt for the waterproof version!

No, unfortunately it doesn't :o(

No, it will smear

YES!!

My eyes get pretty teary during the day and I haven't noticed it coming off at all.

This stays on through a reasonable amount of tears or leakage. It isn't waterproof! But if your eyes water a little (say if you sneeze or weep at the sight of a sappy commercial) your mascara stays intact. If you're planning on having a good sob buy the waterproof version!

i have been using the waterproof mascara for years and have cried, swimmed, etc. with it and has hold up amazing! no smudges!
i definitely recommend this macara over others. it is worth it!
also, make sure you get a good makeup remover that is for waterproof mascara

Yes, absolutely especially diorshow waterproof.

Not the regular kind, go for the waterproof

No, while it is the fastest way to awesome, full lashes, it is not waterproof in the least.

no it does usally run off even in the rain

yes

Yes it does stay on reasonbly well through tears

It isn't waterproof, but is still less runny than a lot of other mascara I've tried.

This product will run with tears but with out getting wet it would stay on for days. If I dont take it off at night the next day it looks newly applied.

yes it is very water proof

The waterproof Blackout formula defintely holds up through water and tears.

For me, this mascara does not last well through tears. I tend to have allergic reactions to dust / pet dander and when I rub my eyes the mascara comes off pretty easily.

No, I find it smudges even when dry, so when you cry or get wet its even more of a nightmare.

I haven't cried in it but it has gotten splashed on and it's stays in place.

Yes

If you buy the waterproof version it'll stay put if you cry however it won't stand up to being thrown in the pool though

Unfortunately not. I'm not sure if Dior offers any water-proof formulas, but this isn't and tears make it run pretty bad. Then again, I never get smudges or flaking on a regular day so it's certainly a great formula for a regular kind of day

No. You will want to go with one of the waterproof versions or the newest mascara, Iconic. They all stay on through almost anything. Be prepared to buy a eye makeup remover too!

It will run, it is a lasting mascara, but I would spare it for days with little to no rain in your forecast.

I live in a very humid area and sweat a lot, and the mascara stays put. But, if you add water or tears it will start to run.

Hi...Yes, it stays on through tears & workouts and washes off easily. Also, if you buy the "waterproof" formula, you're assured that it will stay in place!

there is a water-proof one that works wonderfully. the regular one is water resistance ... so it won't drip off immediately but if you have major water works going on then watch out!

Better than most

With two boys, I'm usually laughing so hard that I'm crying! This mascara stands up to the tears.

Well it's not waterproof so it will smudge. But i've accidentally rubbed my eyes and its been fine. Hope that helps

honestly, this is the best make up product i could recommend. I was hesitant about spending that much as well, but this volumizes, lengthens, and best of all for me at least is it stays put. It doesn't smear one bit. It wouldn't hurt to try it yourself. I love it!

There is no better mascara! Worth every cent!

It is alot of money, but it is worth it, again it's my fav!

Hope This Helps!

You know, I actually find it pretty hard to put a price on "worthiness". It really depends on how much you really need it, looks you want to achieve and whether you really want to shell out that much cash. I have really wimpy, sparse eyelashes, thus it would be worth it for me. If you have full curly eyelashes, your better off going with something cheaper if price is an issue to you.

Definitely worth the money! Give it a try girl[=

This mascara lasts, unlike others with similar textures which can dry up quickly. The only other mascara that compares to this one is YSL, in just about the same price range.

I've never found a better one. And I have sensitive eyes. I never would have THOUGHT of spending this much on a mascara, until I got a free sample of this one.... totally worth it in my book.

I think it's worth the money if you do not have sensitive eyes. This mascara works well and lasts all day, but it does have fragrance. The fragrance was very irritating to my eyes, but Sephora has a great return policy so it may be worth a try.

yes definitely worth the $24 bucks makes your eyes look bigger which is worth it

Yes, this got into my eyes and under them. I wear contacts.
Sephora Brand in a tube worked very well for me and less expensive.

I DONT THINK ITS ALL THAT PERSONALLY. I HAVE THE BLUE I REALLY LIKE THE COLOR, BECAUSE A GOOD BLUE IS HARD TO FIND. BUT IF YOUR JUST GOING FOR BLACK BAD GAL BY BENEFIT IS REALLY GOOD.

It is deffinatley worth the money

Its worth the money. Its like no other mascara and you don't need much to get thick, long lashes.

Worth every penny!

I say sacrifice a latte and fork out the extra 5 bucks - it's worth it. I haven't found a mascara that matches this one. The brush is amazing - it's thick enough to coat without getting clumpy and leaves you with stand out lashes!

I too believe its overpriced but it works so what the heck. I bought them plum which you cannot get in too many brands.

I have dark black eyelashes anyway. . . but I didn't notice that the blackout was any more :intense" than the regular Diorshow. For some reason I love the lotion-y smell of diorshow, and I think it has less clumping, so I switched back. But it really depends on your lashes so I'd go in the store and put one on each eye and check it out.

The Blackout formula will be slightly more drying because of the higher pigment content.

I didn't see any difference in quality between the regular black & the Blackout Mascara. Just a slightly deeper color.

I find the Blackout formula to be a little bit more wet and you really can't coat as much since it does seem to dry a little fast then most mascaras at first. And it does define a lot more than just the regular Diorshow. I found the secret to the mascara was to wait and give it a week to let it thicken up and becomes easier to apply.

Well, this is more for a dramatic effect and volume than blackout. Blackout is more lengthening, and darker - really black black. When I was purchasing the sales person highly recommended diorshow more because it's more versatile, and diorshow already is black + intense enough.

the brush is also slightly different, but still has for the most part the same effect as regular show, the biggest difference is really in the actual kohl pigments used in Blackout. Some people strongly prefer one or the other, its just a matter of personal opinion!

Honestly, I've tried them both and didn't notice any difference. Not even the darker color.

I found the Dior Blackout to be less volumizing, and it wouldn't make my lashes as thick and long as the Dior Show. I switched back from the Blackout to the Dior Show.

Adds thickness and length

I haven't tried the blackout. Sorry!

a little thicker

black out is normal and dior show is water proof...

Its seems to be more a thicker, more intense coating mascara. I use this one at night.

They have different textures. I find the Blackout is more plastic like, while Diorshow is more of a traditional textured mascara. I prefer Diorshow because the plastic like texture of Blackout makes it difficult to separate the lashes. The best is to put on Diorshow first and then a layer of Blackout. The best of both worlds!

The brush is bigger and I feel it fluffs my eyelashes out more.

Hi...Dior Show "Blackout" mascara has more pigment in it to make it appear SUPER dark black. I've used both and through my experience, the regular black looks just as good as the Blackout!

the diorshow blackout has kohl in it to intensify the dark color ... however, i am not crazy about the blackout version. i feel that it clumps, and i never had that problem with the regular diorshow. my advice, stick to the original!

I actually like to use BOTH mascaras together !! I have Blue eyes and light, thin lashes so volumizing is a must. I like to combine formulas by applying one type and color with a certain brush for a 1st coat and different mascar,a color and brush combo for the 2nd. So my trick is I apply one coat of Lancome Definilcis in brown with a thin pointy bristle brush for Lengthening. Then for my second coat I ues DiorShow mascara because it will enhance the thickening effect. The thick brush is great for plump lashes.

Right now I am using DiorShow in Plum because I think it makes my color pop. I use it daily and can pull it off everyday for work. I have tried Black but it was too dramatic for a daytime look, especially since I have light skin tone.

I like both for different reasons. I use the Defincils for more of a "day" or "work" look since it darkens lashes nicely and provides good separation without making me feel overly made-up. It doesn't do anything for volume, though. DiorShow is amazing for volume, length and curling. It does dry out a little faster and begins to clump, but I've found that rinsing the brush with water buys you a little more time.

Diorshow really pumps up the volume and darkness of your lashes (I prefer Diorshow Blackout for even more darkness). Definicils really lengthens the lashes. I do not get much volume but it does make my lashes longer than anything else I have tried. I like to use both together to get the volume and length I desire. Definicils is wonderful for lower lashes.

Diorshow is waaay better! I use to use lancome Defincils then switched to Hypnose...but Diorshow is just amazing try it out and if your not happy sephora will take it back no questions asked! I doubt you'll be unhappy.

Ok, apparently I'm the only person who doesn't like this stuff. I went back to Definicils and have been much happier. I guess it's worth trying one time in case it is a great product for you, but I threw mine away after one week. Good luck!

I have tried both the Lancome and Diorshow. I prefer the Diorshow, I did not notice clumping, flaking, or smudging. Lancome made my lashes feel really stiff, I do not see that with Diorshow. All you can do is try the Diorshow.

Diorshow is 10x better than any Lancome mascara I have ever tried.

i think it is better than definicils and worth a try

I've used Lancome Definicils too, but this is better. I found the Lancome a little flakey and smudgy compared to this. Also, personally, I found the Lancome to be too chunky rather than thickening. This Diorshow mascara, I found to be much more durable

In my opinion Lancome Definicils is better than the Diorshow mascara. The Lancome mascara isn't fragranced so it did not irritate my eyes and you can't beat the lengthening power in Definicils!

definicils is good but this gives you a little more oomf

Dior is much bigger. I've always found Lancome to be clumpier too... I prefer Dior, but give YSL a shot too ;)

Do NOT switch. Waste of money. Lancome is far better!!

There is no comparison really. I used Lancome for a while but I've never seen anything quite like Diorshow... I was told not to get the waterproof one though... It makes lashes, fuller, longer, more defined, AND softer... I love eyelashes curler so what I do is put a coat. wait 1mn for it to dry, then curl them by gently pumping the curler... Then put a second coat...

stays on better. makes lashes look thicker.

I like it as good as that brand. I have tried them all.

I have the plum mascara, and it looks so natural that I use it with everything but black liner or shadow.

Diorshow comes in plum color.
GORGEOUS!
ANy taupes or pinks or brown shadows will go with it.

I have learned that with colored mascaras, other than black and brown, its best to use the colored mascara over a basic one like black or brown or you will look rather clownish. As far as colors to go with it, brown and bronze look great with plum shades, just be careful not to overdue any of the colors.

I think a gold/bronze shade would look beautiful with plum mascara!

Hi there, I think the Plum is more versatile that you think! It looks great with navy, black or brown liner, and in terms of shadows, for drama you could stick with a plummy story, or do a sparkly beige (try diorwshow eyeshow undrssed beige, it just won the Allure award!)

you can use any colors really the plum just brings out your eye color more

not sure

you can use a gray or black liner and of course gray or dhades of purple shadow

Plum mascaras go great with light green or seafoam eyeshadows. Think Brill by MAC or the Egypt palette by Cargo.

neutral to plum tones if you are really looking for your eyes to pop!

Not waterproof

I don't think it's waterproof, but it doesn't smudge like I've had others do.

You can buy waterproof, however I like the regular better, I found the waterproof great but too hard to remove, lost some lashes removing it with an eye make up remover too.

I use DiorShow Mascara in chestnut. Not waterproof.

No, this is not waterproof. Although Dior sells a waterproof version of this DiorShow Mascara.

They do make a waterproof one.

you have to get the one that specifically says it's waterproof - otherwise, it's not...but it doesn't give those black circles or streaks down your face if you happen to tear up a bit.

yes

I don't believe anything is "fishy" about DiorShow mascara; it is just as good as many other Dior products, namely the eye shadows and blushes. I think the makeup artists like this because the large brush deposits color easily and well, and the color is very saturated. It is better than many other mascaras out there, even considering the higher price tag.

No I just wrote a reveiw for this mascara. Like you, I was sceptical but this mascara held up at a wedding and reception. I will never go back.

This mascara rocks! The brush is big and easy to use. End result is mega volume, long dark sexy lashes.

I honestly don't know why everyone hypes this product up so much. I've been using this mascara for a year or so, and I love it, but it's really not that much better than the other ones like people say it is...

I can honestly say this is the best mascara I've tried so far. It NEVER clumps, it really does have a curling effect, and the result is very dramatic (I use the black shade).

I don't know why it's cheaper than other Dior products, maybe because it's cheaper to make or because they make a lot of it. As far as the movie/book mentions, yes it's a good product, but they probably have a great advertising team as well!

I'm not sure how Dior comes up with pricing, it seems on par with other mascaras in other lines pricewise, however I've found this mascara builds volume, enhances definition and length much better than any other mascara I've tried. Recent products I've tested include: Lash Injection (clumpy), Bare escentuals Buxom Lash (nice definition, not much volume), DiorShow Blackout (great, very black, more defining than volumizing), Benefit BadGal Lash (dry formula, did not build volume), Lancome Definicils (goopy, didn't like brush). I know there are more!
Try it! If you don't like it, return it! My guess is you'll keep it and buy it in bulk so you never run out.

Don't believe the hype. I've tried it twice (two tubes, different colors) and found it to be dry and the brush to be so big as to be awkward. In my opinion, good old Cover Girl does a much better job for a fraction of the price.

In my opinion, I like this better than Fiberwig because it lights up my eyes, thickens my lashes, and gives my lashes a dramatic "catwalk-like" effect. I feel like a runway model everytime I put this mascara on. The Fiberwig on the otherhand didn't do the same, it only lengthens and barely thickened my lashes. I think they are both great mascaras but I like the Diorshow one better. In fact, it's my favorite mascara.

I highly recommend giving dior show a try (you will not be disappointed). Fiberwig is awesome but dior show gives the same look but leaves the lashes with a softer, more conditioned feel. Dior show also layers better! :)

This is def better than fiberwig! I've tried it, so I know!

It really depends on what your looking for. Although both Diorshow and Fiberwig are pretty durable, I find Fiberwig to be the safer bet if it's raining. Diorshow is better if your wearing bright colored eyeshadows if you really want your eyes to pop. This curls better and thickens better, but I like Fiberwig better for lengthening.

I also have short, fine lashes & this stuff is god sent. Definitely give it a try, it's amazing.

This mascara definitely gives you the results you are looking for better than fiberwig. I just finished my fiberwig mascara and it just adds length, but diorshow does it all without clumping and looking too overdone.

I use Fiberwig too. My lashes look longer and thicker with Diorshow than with Fiberwig, but mine are really long to begin with. I know with Fiberwig you can build up your lashes. I just find that Fiberwig has a more natural look, whilst Dior is much more dramatic.

I think it depends on your hair and skin color too. If you have dark hair and eyebrows, go for black. If you are blonde with blue eyes, brown would be good for a natural daytime look and black would make a more dramatic evening look.

Makeup is largely a matter of opinion and there are several camps out there when it comes to shades of mascara. Some say one should never wear anything but black regardless of hair/eye color. The other camp states the brown shades (black/brown and brown) should be worn by those with lighter colored hair regardless of eye color. Specifically, the lighter your natural lash color the lighter the mascara so that with makeup one's lashes should not constrast too much with one's hair color. I hope this helps. Oh, and always stay away from blue mascara! :)

I TOO AM A LOVELY BROWN EYED GIRL,I SAY EITHER OR BRON ON OP OF THE BLACK FOR DAY DEFINATELY BLACK FOR NIGHTLIFE TIMES AND THE BROWN FOR SIMPLISTIC BEAUTY LIKE BREAKFAST BED WITH YOUR HONEY OR JUST TO LOOK AWAKE WITHOUT THE FEEL OF MAKEUP DRAMA,BROWN MASCARA,CREAMY PINK BLUSH(NO MATTER YOUR TONE) AND A SIMPLE SEMI-GLOSS ON LIPS FOR A FRESHLOOK,MY OPINION ANYWAY..GOOD LUCK

I think it all depends on the look you are going for. Black would be more dramatic than brown. Brown would soften the look

I have brown eyes and I always wear black mascara. I don't particularly like colored mascaras.

Black mascara is always great with brown eyes... black in this works on eveyone I have tried it on.

YEP! I wear contacts and have no problems....except when I wear my glasses my lashes are too long and hit the lenses!

I often wear contacts and this doesn't do any harm for me. I haven't had any problems except for the one time I actually jabbed myself in the eye with the brush, but that's a whole other story. Just be careful during application, and you shouldn't have any issues, as the actual formula is just fine.

No. I wear contacts and this mascara really bothered me. I had to return it after one week.

I am sure this product is safe for contact lens wearers. I use it with contacts. In fact, I haven't had any problems with eye makeup and contacts other than the odd minor irritation that I'd get anyway since my eyes are sensitive to begin with.

I haven't had a problem wearing this with contact lenses

I've never had any problems with this and my contacts.
