Hop on the Colourful Mascara Trend this Season
Here, the six alternative mascara colours to black you should try this June
More recently, bright colours in makeup looks are coming back into the spotlight. Trendy in the '90s and then in the early '00s, coloured mascaras have remained the make-up go-to trend to follow every summer.
When it comes to lighter-coloured eyes, opt for pink, blue, mauve, green or red mascaras to really make your eyes pop. And if you're blessed with brown eyes, any colour works thanks to its neutral base.
Below, we round up six mascara colours that will make you forget all about basic black.
Blue
Blue takes a major place after black in mascaras, being worn by the most prominent celebrities. As compared to other colours, the pigmentation of blue mascara is intense enough that one coat is enough when applied. All shades of blue, especially royal blue, electric, sky or even turquoise, will highlight the eyes and create a captivating effect on your makeup look.
Pink
Pink mascara gives eyelashes a new look by changing up neutral makeup. Picture softened lines that are often seen in the coquette-core trend. Being quite pigmented, it provides the same result as black mascara, with a touch of femininity that's perfect for days out with the girls.
Red
Contrary to popular belief, red mascara does not always overpower a makeup look. As a matter of fact, red mascara is often the one that brings a glamorous touch to make-up, as seen worn by many beauty enthusiasts on TikTok and Instagram as of late.
Purple
In addition to transforming the wearer into a gorgeous mythical creature, purple mascara softens your makeup look and can be worn every day. When worn, mauve is a lovely hue that will highlight the eyes of the people wearing it.
Brown
Brown mascara is the shade that garnered three billion views on TikTok in 2022 and has become one of beauty's must-have products in recent years, even more so in 2024 as seen in fashion for cleaner looks. This colour has managed to surpass black with its natural effect, offering a more softened look to your everyday makeup.
Green
Green is by far one of the most classic mascara colours besides black. It is also the colour of the hour to wear on nails, clothes and more. This pop of colour brings out the lightest part of the iris, bringing a sort of freshness to summer looks.
