So you’ve wanted to try a colorful shade of mascara, eh? Maybe you just bought a tube, or you’ve been eyeing that green shade online? Now you’re questioning how you’re going to rock that colorful shade of mascara without it being over the top. Is there a way to rock a bright shade of mascara without everyone around you noticing? Yes, there. It’s all about combining color mascara with your regular black or brown mascara to make your lashes look different without getting too bright. Wear a bright shade of mascara to class or to the office without anyone noticing the difference! Read on to learn how to get it done.
The Ends- Grab your normal, everyday black mascara and sweep it on your top and bottom lashes. Next, try that bright color! Apply it just to the tips of the top and bottom lashes. Presto! A subtle-yet -visible color on the tips of your eyelashes! You can’t even see it unless you get close. Perfect for when you want to try a new beauty look at the office.
Halfsies- For a more obvious look that’s still subtle, try swiping your top lashes with a black mascara while adding the color mascara to your bottom lashes. This can be fun to try with gently varying shades. For example, you can rock black mascara on top and navy on your bottom lashes, or add a cobalt blue shade to your bottom lashes for a little something extra. This works especially well with blue shades because they’ll make the whites of your eyes look brighter the same way blue-based red lipsticks will make your skin tone look cooler.
Let’s Blend- Your black mascara is about to get a facelift. Sweep on a coat of black mascara, and then do a second coat of a vibrant color mascara of your choice (what about purple? or burgundy?) Adding a coat of color mascara to black makes the black appear multifaceted and a bit more interesting, without making you commit to crazy colored lashes. This is definitely the way to go for a night out! Love this look.
