Should I Wear Black or Brown Mascara?
Which mascara shade flatters your skin tone and hair colour?
If you’re fair-skinned and have blonde or red hair with naturally pale lashes, brown mascara is the most natural way of emphasising your lashes. Anyone with darker hair, regardless of skin tone, should stick to black mascara so the lashes don’t fade into the rest of the face.
We carry lots of great daily-wear mascara options that come in both black and brown. Choose whichever works best for you! Try:
Do lashes need to match your brows?
Not at all. Most people's lashes are naturally darker than their brows. Whether you have brown or blonde brows, black mascara can look perfectly fine.
If you're going for a more defined, dramatic look
Regardless of skin tone, hair colour, religion, age, marital status, or favourite condiment, black is the mascara colour of choice for everyone looking to make a statement. A bold, sexy black lash never hurt anyone, and it’s the only real option for creating a high-drama look.
Want some more options? We’ve got tons of amazing choices for your everyday or night-out mascara in our full mascara selection! We’re sure you’ll find one that’s perfect for you.
Swimming in a sea of fluttering lashes? If you're totally lost in the world of department-store mascaras, it's time to take a step back and weigh your options. Whether you want a bold false-eyelash look or a barely-there tint, there's a perfect Luxe mascara formula here for you. From trendsetter Benefit to classic Lancôme to makeup-artist fave Bobbi Brown, the options are limitless. Want bold lashes? Opt for a primer and a fattening mascara. Whilst a lot of mascaras promise heavyweight results, you just won’t get a falsie look without the primer. So grab a two-in-one wand or pick your favourite primer and mascara duo separately. Struggling with sparse lashes? You aren’t alone there! If you have light or fine hair, your eyelashes need a little extra help. You can get assistance in a tube from a conditioning and lengthening mascara. Conditioning mascara includes a hydrating balm or oil that can transform your lashes. Looking to keep it simple? Brown waterproof mascara is foolproof. If you're going to be working up a sweat or are looking for a summer style, this is a must-have.
