What has intense shimmer, is elegant and sophisticated and has a cool gel-mousse texture? The new Diorshow Fusion Mono Eye Shadows do and they weightlessly illuminate eyes with long-lasting, multi-faceted colour! Launched with Dior’s recent Fall 2013 Mystic Metallics Collection, these multi-dimensional shadows have light-reflecting pigments and an extraordinary texture to them. Available in 8 iridescent shades that are perfect for Fall/Winter, these shadows were recently put to the test by yours truly. 🙂 Keep reading for my thoughts, photos and swatches.

Texture, Consistency & Finish:
The texture of these shadows is slightly squishy and has a bit of bounce to it….it’s a cross between a gel and a mousse and reminds me a lot of the Chanel Illusion D’Ombre or more budget-friendly L’Oreal Infallible Eye Shadows. If you like either of those products you will also fall in love with the Fusion Monos. While I’m not a fan of any product that is too shimmery, the shimmer in these shadows is finely milled, which produces more of a metallic effect once applied on the eyes. The consistency is very easy to work with and the product blends quite well. I enjoyed the luminosity and finish of these shadows however when applied without a primer, I did experience some fallout. I would highly suggest using an eye primer with any product that contains shimmer (like this one) as it will significantly improve application. The pigmentation of these shadows is also good. I found them to have just the right amount of colour.
Application:
These shadows can be applied lightly using your fingertips, with a synthetic brush for added intensity or wet for a more dramatic finish. The options are endless. The colour pigments blend into the skin well to create a “light veil of colour” and a “subtly shimmering result”.
Packaging:
These come in a glass jar with a twist off lid. There is 0.22 oz of product and a mini sponge tip applicator included with each shadow.
