Turquoise liner is a “thing” this Summer, and Dior has released a pretty addition to that trend with their Croisette Summer 2012 Collection. Turquoise 258 Waterproof Stylo Eyeliner is a beautiful shade, but is it high-performing?
What the Nordstrom website has to say about Dior ‘Diorshow Vernis Croisette Collection’ Waterproof Liner:
Inspired by the art de vivre of the French Riviera, the Dior Croisette Collection combines the peace of the French countryside with the splendor of Saint Tropez.
To easily reproduce the ultra-graphic catwalk eyes, Dior introduces a very precise retractable eye pencil. Diorshow Waterproof Liner offers an exceptional glide and guarantees a perfect, long-lasting line. A collection of six vibrant colors for a high-intensity impact to complement any eye makeup. A true expert tool for a 100% smudge-proof and waterproof effect.
Turquoise is a semi-shimmery robin’s egg blue shade. I imagine turquoise as much deeper, for some reason. The shimmer is much more apparent in the swatch than on the eye (the shadow is the Aurora 5-Couleur). It also swatches much more pigmented than it will go on the eye. I had a heck of a time layering the crap out of it to get it to show up. It is, unfortunately, not what I expected on the eye. I do believe if it was a bit softer it would have been easier to work with and nicer to wear.
Dior Waterproof Eyeliner retails for $29.00 and is available at Sephora, as well as at your local Dior counter or store and online at Dior.com.

Ah, I’m so sorry to hear it doesn’t work for you! I do think the texture could be nicer, but I don’t have a hard time getting it to show on my eyes, and it wears all day without budging/fading even without a primer!
it does look nice on you!
I love the line and Aurora, they look great together! I wore them together the other day and tweeted the look! Love love love it!
Ugh, that’s a disappointment.. I figured it would be the same color as St. Tropez nail polish, which it seems to be (?), but from TheRAEviewer’s thoughts about it it sounded so much better – and worth the money. 🙁
That’s too bad it required so much layering. It’s such a lovely shade.
I hear ya. It swatched easily… from what I’ve been reading, the formula on all of their waterproof liners is hard. I wish they’d do a kohl like this!
