Colourful mascaras. When to use? Which colour to choose?

Colour mascaras are not that popular. Probably because not many women look for them. We know that it is the intense black which emphasizes the eyes best and visually thickens the eyelashes. When is it worth reaching for a mascara in a different colour? 

Colour mascara has been the invention of the Revlon brand, whose official premiere took place in 1960. At the time, blue, green and purple mascaras were launched. Colourful lashes instantly became a hit, unfortunately, this trend did not last long. Partly because colour makeup did not work in the era of black and white television. Later, the colourful mascaras returned to favour in the 80s and 90s. They reigned in the disco style but became a symbol of kitsch just as quickly. As history repeats itself, today they are coming back to grace once again!

Colour mascara

In our makeup bag, eyelash mascaras usually reign supreme. They are perfect for all types of beauty regardless of hair colour. thus, brunettes, ginger hair, and blondes can use them and look stunning. They match every makeup because black is considered classic and elegant. Colour mascaras are an option for definitely bolder women who would like to take a break from this classic style. Such cosmetics perfectly complement the summer style and will prove themselves to the festival.

Many women are afraid to use colour mascaras because they are extremely decorative. Not everybody can wear coloured eyelashes on a daily basis, and such bold makeup can be overwhelming. That is why only courageous, confident women who are not afraid of experiments with the style should reach for colourful mascaras. The effect will be extravagant.

Which mascara colour should you choose?

Today, colourful mascaras are available in many shades. It’s good to know what mascara colour suits our beauty to match the best shade.

• blue mascara – adds freshness, visually enlarges eyes and makes the eye pop

• purple mascara – it perfectly blends with blue and green eyes

• green mascara – shades of green are suitable for brown eyes

• red/pink mascara – risky, it can give the impression of tired eyes

If we do not want our makeup to be dominated by such a vivid colour of eyelashes, just apply a touch of the product to the tips of your lashes. We can also apply it to the lower eyelashes only to emphasize the lower lashline. Also, the use of very light eyeshadows in neutral colours – beige or light browns will help tone down the makeup. Be moderate. Use contrasts. Let your eyelashes play the main role!
