I have tried them all! From cake mascara that you wet with a brush and put on - like Marilyn Monroe did to classics like Great Lash and everything you can imagine in between. But there is one that stands above and beyond the rest, the one that even I can muster up the strength to put on every day. Diorshow Blackout mascara. It is the blackest of black and gives unbelievable volume. So much so I am even willing to pay the $24.00 price tag over and over again.
