Makeup artists and magazines always say that blondes should wear brown mascara, because black is too harsh.
I’ve been wearing black mascara since I was in my teens, because if I wear brown mascara you can’t see my eyelashes.
Well there was that stage in junior high when I thought blue mascara was really cool and I wore blue instead of black, but we won’t get into that.
I’m sure there are some blondes out there who don’t like the look of black mascara, but I wear mascara because I want people who are a foot away from me to actually be able to tell that I do have eyelashes.
If I wear brown mascara you can’t tell that I have lashes, and I look washed out.
What color are your lashes, and what color is your mascara?
Are there any blondes out there that only wear brown mascara?

I’m a blonde and I usually wear brown or black brown mascara on a daily basis. Black for night or special occasions.

Thanks Ash, are your lashes visible with the brown or black brown mascara?
I guess part of my problem might be that my lashes are short too.

I’m a brunette with very dark lashes, and if I wear anything except the blackest mascara out there it doesn’t look like I’ve done anything to my lashes at all! Even purples and blues really don’t show up!

Thanks Jamie, I guess the dark lashed ones don’t have it any easier than those of us with light lashes.
