What is your go-to mascara shade?

What colour mascara do you wear?

For a lot of ladies they wear just one shade - classic black.  Why?  Well many brands only sell one shade; black. Or maybe it's just habit, your first mascara was black, your second was black and so on.  And of course, long, thick, black lashes are the finishing touch on a showstopping eyelook.

But for some people the black lash is too bold a look - they want to define their lashes but they don't want to look 'overdone' for a day time look, or maybe a sombre occasion.  And this is where the much under-rated brown mascara comes in to play!

Brown mascara offers definition and can offer extra length or volume, without looking as bold as black.  It's also fabulous for those with pale skin tones or blonde hair.  And it's somewhat easier to clean off if you manage to smudge it while applying.

We're putting Moisture Mist Impressive Lash Mascara to the test. This is an all in one high performance mascara that adds volume and length to your lashes while separating every lash. It's waterproof and smudge proof and available in Black or Dark Brown!

Ohhhhh black most definitely because I can't see dark brown giving me much oomph on my black lashes. I like to stick to the mascara life cycle so I go through a few mascaras a year and I'm due to open a new one soon.

I have used a Moisture Mist mascara before and I absolutely loved it. It made my lashes look "fluffy" haha. Unfortunately I forgot the name because by the time it was time for me to throw it out the name had come off :-(

I always wear black and my mum always wears brown. I like the dramatic effect I get with black but thanks for making me see when brown mascara could be appropriate and actually preferential.

Mostly black but if I have dark rimmed glasses on I go for brown a little softer for me. So it all depends on my glasses:)

Statement is my second middle name after unique :P I need my makeup to make a bold statement to reflect my personality. Black stands out, so black it is.

I normally go for a black mascara have never tried a brown. Would be keen to give this mascara a go in dark brown to see what brown would be like on me.

I've always worn black!!! My eyelashes are black, it never occurred to me that people with black eyelashes could wear brown mascara! I've always thought brown was for people with lighter coloured eyelashes :)

Always black mascara because I just love dramatic lashes

18th March, 2015

I always wear black. When I first started wearing makeup as a teenager my mum encouraged me to wear brown mascara to look more natural but in the end I gravitated towards black and love it regardless. If the mascara has a 'blackest black' option which some of them do, then that's the one for me!

Wow the poll results are pretty amazing! Black is definitely the fav :) I think black is my staple really, however I do have a plum and a dark brown mascara both of which I use (I actually have the plum one on today, it's quite dark & I'm wearing it with aubergine eyeshadow, nice really!)

My mascara of choice would be black though - my lashes need all the colour and lengthening they can get - I'm am actually at this present time searching for a good mascara to buy as I'm basically out of my black one (you know when you get to the point of having to try and paint your lashes over and over and not really getting much mascara on them it's time to get a new one hehe).

So if I am a reeaalllyyy lucky girl and get picked for this trial team, I would be choosing black!!

I always go for black, I wear it for dramatic lashes and brown just isn't gonna cut it :)

18th March, 2015

Always black. Or blackest black, if available. If I had blonde lashes I would wear brown mascara for everyday

18th March, 2015

I have always worn black mascara habit I guess! Except for the 90s when the bright or navy blue or the purples were the thing!! What on earth were we thinking!!

18th March, 2015

Black! "Paint it black" I love Black & I love show stopping eyes so Black Mascara is my best friend! I'd definitely be choosing black if I'm lucky enough to get on this trial!!!

My hair is almost black so black looks natural on me. I've always had short sparse lashes and so black has never been to bold. I did wear navy mascara for a short time like a few uses and then went back to black. I did want to try ombre lashes at some point but that would be more like black all over and then a bit of navy or purple mascara from the half point to the tips.

I am definitely a black shade gal when it comes to my lashes :-)
