Repeated reviews say Dior DiorShow Iconic Mascara does a good job of curling eyelashes. Experts and users both say its oblique, long-bristled brush and solid polymer formula carefully comb through and coat each lash. Reviewers also praise the brush's rubber bristles for keeping clumping to a minimum. That said, experts say it isn't necessary to spend this much money to get a good quality mascara. If you prefer a more budget-friendly formula, Maybelline Full 'n Soft mascara (*Est. $7) is also highly rated. DiorShow Iconic Mascara is available in three shades: rich black, chestnut and navy blue.
