FAQs ABOUT COLOURED MASCARA
Why do people use coloured mascara?
There are many reasons why people use coloured mascara. Some are looking to inject some colour into their make up without committing to a bold eyeshadow look. Others may be looking for new ways to enhance their eye colour, while some may find black mascara too harsh.
What colour mascara makes your eyes look bigger?
There are many colours that make your eyes look bigger and it all depends on the shade of your eyes. As described above, blue eyes work well with shades of brown and pink while green works well with brown and taupe. Brown eyes on the other hand can go for bold and bright blue hues.
Does mascara on bottom lashes make eyes look bigger?
Yes. Mascara on the bottom lashes helps to open the eye up further making them look bigger and brighter. The way you apply the mascara on your bottom lashes can also impact the style you are after. For example, fanned out flutters can look quite doll-eyed, while angling the lashes to the side can help create a more cat-eye appearance.
And there you have it, a run-down of the best coloured mascaras to suit your eyes. Now, are we adding brown, blue or berry shades to our baskets... or are we adding all three?
