How To Use Colored Mascara

Many women do not dare to try colored mascara for fear of looking like a clown. However, colored mascara can be used in different ways, while looking great. You just have to know how to use it and how to adjust the rest of the make-up.

In this article, you’ll learn just that – how to choose a mascara color depending on the color of your eyes, how to incorporate it with other make-up.

Where To Apply Colored Mascara?

You can apply colored mascara in several places on the face:

Upper Eyelashes – Of course, the most commonplace for applying color mascara is upper lashes. You can apply the mascara alone (in line with the rest of the makeup) or as a second layer after the black mascara layer, for a more subtle look.

Lower Eyelashes – If you want to fully highlight the color you wear on your lashes, apply mascara in color to your lower lashes as well. You can also get a more subtle look by applying black mascara on the upper lashes and on the lower colored mascara.

Eyebrows – Yes, you can also apply colored mascara to your eyebrows. It is necessary to go over all the hair with a mascara brush to make the color visible. This look is suitable for festivals or people who like to play around with makeup.

How To Apply Color Mascara?

For starters, you can try brown mascara if you are unsure of other colors. The brown mascara gives a distinctly elegant and natural look and can be used when the rest of the makeup on the face is more pronounced. This color mascara is also recommended with monochromatic makeup to soften the look.

If you are drawn to pink or blue mascara but do not want it to stand out very strongly on your lashes, you can use colored mascara in combination with black mascara. As mentioned above, first apply a layer of black mascara and then a layer of colored mascara. In this way, the lashes under a certain light reflect the color you have chosen.

Match the color of the mascara and the color of the eye shower if you feel comfortable enough with the use of color mascara. This will give you a very striking look, so it is important that you feel confident with the color mascara.

If you’re already pretty confident with color masks, try combining different colors on your upper and lower lashes.

Another way to play with makeup and color mascara is to create eyelashes in rainbow colors. Choose 3-4 colors of mascara and determine the order of the color you want to have on lashes. Apply one color of mascara to the inside of the lashes, then apply a different color to the lashes next to them, etc.

Color Mascara For Different Eye Colors

Different eye colors are better suited to certain mascara colors:

Brown Eye Color – Brown and darker eye colors are best suited to colors that highlight warm eyes. Blue and purple mascara are the best choices for brown-eyed women. A darker, royal blue is recommended if you have darker eyes, and a lighter blue (such as turquoise) if your eyes are light brown.

Hazel Eye Color – If your eyes are mixed in green and brown, the maroon mascara would be best suited to highlight eye color. In addition to the above hazel eye color is brown or metallic mascara.

Green Eye Color – Green, red, and purple mascara colors can accentuate the beautiful green eyes. You can try different shades and visually emphasize the color and/or size of your eyes.

Blue Eye Color – People with blue eye color can play around with different bright blue colors. Strong pink or purple colors are recommended in combination with a subtle eyebrow look.

Purple mascara is a great choice if you want to make your whites look whiter and have a light path.

For medium-dark skin, blue pontoon mascara is recommended, while people with dark skin color may suit a variety of striking mascara colors (from neon to silver and gold).
