8 Colored Mascara Looks To Try
Shimmery lids and burgundy mascara
Burgundy mascara is perfect for nights out, as the deep, rich shade feels sultry without being over the top. To enhance your look, pair your wine-toned with a shimmery champagne or bronze eyeshadow. The golden tones of the shadow will help accentuate the warm hue of your mascara for a cohesive (and unbelievably flattering) end result.
- Earthy shadow and green lashes
You can wear colored mascara even if you’re someone who typically favors more neutral tones in your makeup. For a subtle yet striking look, try pairing a deep emerald green mascara with matte brown eyeshadow and bronzed cheeks. Eyeliner is optional, but if you use it, opt for a brown (rather than black) liner to keep your look feeling soft.
- Cobalt statement eye
This one’s for those who favor a more-is-more approach to makeup. Start by swiping an electric blue shadow. Then, swipe on a few coats of Mascara and tint your lashes. Because this blue mascara makeup look is so bold, we suggest keeping the rest of your makeup simple—a bit of highlighter and a swipe of clear lip gloss make for the perfect finishing touches.
- Colorful bottom lashes
If you want to make a statement without committing to anything too bold, consider using a brown or black mascara on your upper lashes, then swiping a vibrant colored mascara on your lower lashes for a fun, two-toned effect.
- Pink mascara
Baby pink lashes aren’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re willing to experiment with the pastel look, you’ll discover just how flattering (and fun!) it can be. Apply a few coats of the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara Makeup in Pink Air onto your upper and lower lashes for a pop of pink, or go all out by pairing your mascara with rosy lips, cheeks, and lids.
- Rainbow lashes
If you’re feeling extra tenacious, you can try out rainbow lashes—though be advised, nailing this look is slightly more time-consuming than your typical mascara application. To create it, grab three or four of your favorite colored mascara and swipe them onto your lashes in sections, holding the applicator vertically instead of horizontally. You can achieve a rainbow effect by using pink mascara in your inner corners, burgundy and blue mascara for the central lashes, and green mascara at the outer corners. If that feels too complicated, try using a different color on each set of lashes for a rainbow color-blocked effect.
- Blue lashes and liner
Blue mascara can be subtle, or it can be graphic—this look definitely falls into the latter category. To create a similar look, draw on a graphic, dramatic wing with a bright blue eyeliner.
- Pink and green mascara
Pink and green are kind of like peanut butter and jelly: they just go together. For a playful (and party-ready) eye makeup look, apply a deep green mascara to your upper lashes and use a bright pink mascara to tint your lower lashes. You can rock the look as-is, but we think a generous swipe of glittery eyeshadow ties the unconventional look together perfectly.
