Dior DiorShow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow
Dior Reveuse (271) DiorShow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow ($31.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a blackened navy blue with lighter blue and navy blue shimmer and sparkle. It had semi-sheer coverage, which did not build up and was difficult to blend out for an even layer of coverage. The texture felt comparable to other shades in the formula, but the intensity was lacking. Where a lighter shade might be more useful, darker shades like these look patchy and splotchy when they are so sheer. This would be best used patted over a stronger base color. It wore well for eight hours with very little fall out. Apparently, this shade was released in 2014, and it didn’t even register as familiar (perhaps because it was disappointing then and now). It is actually quite different from the original, because this one didn’t flake away and had a much cooler undertone, but it was very sheer instead.

Dior Infinity (751) DiorShow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow ($31.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a light, golden brown with warm undertones and a sparkly, multi-colored shimmer finish. It had good color coverage, which was mostly opaque and built up to full coverage with just a little more product layered on top (not even a full second layer). The consistency was smooth, lightly emollient but not truly wet or slick to the touch, and blended out easily. It could easily be worn as a sheer wash of color for a bit of shimmer or as a full coverage eyeshadow. It wore well for nine hours on me. MAC Permanent Press #2 (LE, ) is more shimmery (95% similar).

Dior Fahrenheit (781) DiorShow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow ($31.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a deep brown with neutral-to-cool undertones and warmer sparkles in lighter gold and rusty brown. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was best applied as a more opaque product (two layers), as it looked somewhat patchy and uneven when sheered out. While the underlying color didn’t crease or fade over a nine-hour period, I had some noticeable fall out. Too Faced Hot Fudge (PiP, $16.00) is less shimmery (95% similar).

Dior Olympe (871) DiorShow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow ($31.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a dark plum with warmer undertones and a sparkling, violet finish. It had decent color payoff, though it was not opaque, and it was buildable to mostly opaque coverage. The issue I had with it was how dry it appeared on the skin, despite the texture feeling spongy, lightly creamy, and smooth to the touch–there was no indication from the texture itself that it was going to look dragged out and uneven around the edges, like a drier product might. It lasted for nine hours before fading on me, and I did not notice any fall out. NARS Pointe Noire (LE, $22.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). Huda Beauty Courageous (PiP, ) is more shimmery, warmer (95% similar). Fenty Beauty Nuts N Dates (PiP, ) is darker (95% similar). Dose of Colors Hot Mesh (P, $20.00) is darker (95% similar).

Chanel Cristal de Printemps #1 (PiP, ) is less shimmery, cooler (90% similar). Sydney Grace Your Best (PiP, $6.25) is more shimmery, cooler (90% similar). Milk Makeup Silent Disco (P, $24.00) is warmer (90% similar). ColourPop Future Industries (LE, $4.50) is less shimmery (90% similar). Cle de Peau Golden Lace #1 (LE, ) is less shimmery (90% similar).

Formula Overview
Dior DiorShow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow ($31.00 for 0.22 oz.) is supposed to be a long-wearing, cream-based eyeshadow with “brilliant colour.” The wear well on me, easily for eight hours and up to ten hours, and have a sponge-like consistency that doesn’t feel to wet but is not a powder either. The texture is thin, lightweight, and blendable on the skin, but the pigmentation can vary a lot from shade to shade with more recent releases tending to lean sheerer.

Grimace.. for me.. the colours which appeal are too expensive for this level of performance.
The permanent colors are so much better!
Sad, Olympie could have really nice.
Agreed!
MAC Soft Serve flashbacks 🙂 Infinity looks nice.
They are similar!
Dammit! These should have been gorgeous! That blue had so much promise. Ugh. Dior needs to get itself together already.
Some of the recent/LE ones have been real disasters!
Olympe is on my must buy list! I use the Dior Mono Fusions as toppers over shadows, so I prefer them sheer and sparkly, and it’s hard to find this in purple. As we all know, powder purple shadows are the bad boys of the makeup world, and I can use this cover up patchy, hard-to-blend purple shadows. And I feel like adding this as a topper helps “seal in” the base purple shadow, making it last longer and preventing fallout.
Hope Olympe works out for you as a layering shade!
They look so pretty in the pots!
I know!
Infinity is gorgeous!
At least one was pretty good!
Ugh. That blue. *tsk, tsk, Dior*
Infinity and Fahrenheit do look nice, but again, I can probably find dupes within either what I already have (MAC Superwatt and CP “3”?) , plus my wishlist item of MUG Steampunk.
You can definitely dupe them 😀
Oh wow, some of those look really bad. I’m surprised-I swatched the (5?) permanent shades in store a while back and they looked gorgeous. This can’t be the same formula.
781, and 871 Are BEAUTIFUL. Oh gosh!
For this money they should all be A
Agreed!
Fahrenheit is gorgeous, at least. The rest just look like crap to me. I’ll stick with my Moodust palette for glitter shadows.
As far as the blue shade is concerned, the contrast could not have been greater: in the dupe list – there is Dior at $31 per single looking very shabby and next to it is Milani’s Bella Navy looking magnificent – at about $5 in price. That’s the beauty of this website Christine.
As for the rest of the shades, they are good – but not original and you could only wear them really at night because they are so sparkly. Hmmmm.
Hi, thank you for your reviews and swatches. May I ask which collection these eyeshadows are part of? Many thanks.
I have no idea – I just saw them on Sephora a week or so ago. Infinity is from the holiday collection.
Underwhelmed by all of these. ?
I’m with you!
And they looked so good int their little jars!
I though Dior could make the fusion eyeshadows quite well, maybe they lost the recepie…
Very disappointing.
In* their little jars.
Why do I spot the typos the millisecond after pressing post? Silly me!
The bronze and purple one are such beautiful colors! But they lack pigmentation :/ the bronze one won’t probably show on my medium tan skin. So sad because the colors are just stunning.
Personally I’m disappointed by how these eyeshadows look. As Kiss and Makeup said, it instantly reminded me of Soft Serve.
This review is a great example of why I have a lot to thank you for, Christine! When I was new to makeup, I would see something like this eyeshadow in the blue shade, Reveuse, and absolutely drool over the color… and think, “$31 for one eyeshadow?! But the color is so gorgeous… maybe it’s worth it… it’s a big-name designer brand, and they’re charging this much for it, it must be good, right? So maybe it’s worth it… ” and might eventually talk myself into buying it to try. And then think there must be something wrong with what I was doing — or, worse, something wrong with my eyelids — when I didn’t get the color I was expecting based on how the product looked. And then go back to the department store, where the SAs aren’t always kind about returns, or, who, if I asked for help to make it work, would probably sell me an additional expensive product… and I’d just end up discouraged about the whole experience.
But, since I’ve been reading your reviews for the past few years, I can avoid products that are total duds, and be aware of some that might need additional effort on my part if I decide I want them even though their might be performance issues. I don’t mind spending money on my hobby, but I don’t like to waste money on stuff that just doesn’t work, and, while I don’t mind returning products, if I was having to return more than half of what I bought (could easily happen without reviews and the opportunity to try before buying), I would feel like that was just *wrong*, somehow, even at stores with generous return policies.
And I avoid wasting my time and effort on things that don’t give me the beautiful results I’m looking for, either.
So thank you for ten years 🙂
That’s the worst, Fran, when you feel like it’s you but it’s just a subpar product 🙁 Sure, if you’re really new to makeup or have never used that type of product before, maybe there’s a learning curve, but most makeup should be decent outta the box, you know?
Thank you so much!
Well these are all an easy pass! Darn, the original fusion monos were all so good. Mine originals are all dried out now though, but I can’t bear to toss them out bc they cost a small fortune!
Right?? I don’t understand why most of the seasonal ones are inferior!
It just floors me that these very high end brands continue to put out products like these that can easily be duped by ColourPop at a small fraction of the price they want for these sub-par shadows. They apparently are putting their eggs in the “we are Dior” basket and still have people that are paying for the name only. SMH
