Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Dior Diorshow Colour & Contour in the shades 001 and 002 from the Color Games Collection.
I am a big fan of these kinds of sticks because they are very practical, especially in Summer. That must be the reason why they are part of the Summer Collection.
As you can see they come in two shades and the two performs completely differently which is interesting. I also broke the tip of the brown side of the 002 stick that’s why the point shorter.
You can get them from dior.com for 34$ each and they are limited edition.
001 Gold / Blue
002 Brow / Peach
COLOUR
- 001 has a Gold eyeshadow and a Blue pencil.
- 002 has a Brown pencil and a Peach eyeshadow.
PACKAGING
The packaging is a double-sided twist-up tube, I like that it has a stripe that shows you the shade.
The stick is very simple and practical, the number is on the side.
FORMULA
The formula changes for each stick:
- 001 is bad, the blue pencil is very dry and it crumbles when you try to put it on. The gold side is very patchy and hard to blend on top of being a very dull shade. You can see in the eye picture how bad the gold looks in the inner corner and the pencil kept breaking so I couldn’t get an even application in the waterline.
- 002 is very creamy, not to the point that it bleeds, but it’s easy to apply and it doesn’t drag the lid. Both sides apply easily and aren’t patchy. The pencil works well on the upper lash line and on the waterline.
APPLICATION
I use the sticks directly on the eyes and blend with my finger.
SWATCH
In the eye close up you can really see the difference in the performance. I’ve used the 002 stick on the lid and it’s smooth and looks amazing. I’ve used the 001 on the inner corner and lower lashline and you can see how patchy and dull it looks.
LASTING POWER
On me, they last about 8 hours. They don’t transfer on the lid which is very impressive.
RATING:
I have to put two different ratings since the performance is so different.
001
- Colour: 6/10
- Longevity: 8/10
- Application: 5/10
- Pigmentation: 5/10
- Formula: 4/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: D+
This shade is hard to use and I don’t like the colours, I mean the Blue is pretty but the pencil is so crumbly I’m almost afraid to use it because I’m scared I’ll get chunks in my eyes, on top of that you waste a lot because it breaks so easily. The Gold is so patchy it looks awful on the eyes and the colour is so dull it’s almost invisible. The lasting power is ok and the packaging is pretty but for 34$ you can find something better at the drugstore.
002
- Colour: 8/10
- Longevity: 8/10
- Application: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 8/10
- Formula: 8/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: B
This shade is so pretty and the formula is great, totally different performance here but, that being said, 34$ is a lot of money for something so simple. You could get an eyeshadow stick and a pencil from the drugstore and get the same results for a fraction of the price.

That’s really shocking that something from Dior can be so cheap and crumbly like that. I don’t blame you for passing on the blue one. My eyes watered up just imagining chunks of eyeliner falling into them.
Mimi dice
It was so annoying and scary!
Tisha dice
Disappointing to see something so gorgeous crumble and not be worth it. The peach and brown look like something I would use more than the blue and gold. It is interesting that they both perform differently being the same formula and brand. I always love your honest opinion!

Thank you for reading!?

Thank you for reviewing these honestly. I’ve not used Dior makeup before but I like the look of the brown and peach combo.
Mimi dice
That looks very pretty!
Patricia @ Grab a Plate dice
I love the peach color, not so much the blue. You can tell the blue is a little dry, like you mentioned. A great, honest review!
Mimi dice
Thank you for reading! The peach is is pretty
Erica dice
Hm, would probably skip these. They don’t seem to be anything that interesting, and if the quality for that price is either bad or just OK, hard pass!
Mimi dice
Agree! Not worth it!
Simone | Beautymone dice
Oh Gosh the 001 looked indeed very patchy and dry. The 002 hasn’t got me hyped either but it definitely looks better than 001!
Mimi dice
Yeah, it looks bad!
With love, Caroline dice
I also prefer the shade 002, I think it’s much easier to wear it!
Mimi dice
Agree!
The Newbury Girl dice
Omg I would be pissed if I spent my money on a Dior product that was so unworkable! Such a shame about the blue shade – it would have been perfect for summer. 😫
Mimi dice
Exactly, I was so mad with it!
