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!

I always use "Blackest Black" but have used a black-brown mascara in the past, I just never bought another one when I tossed that one out - didn't see the point of having two open mascara tubes. I wouldn't mind giving this one a try as my black mascara is due to be replaced soon.

Only ever black for my lashes - I tend to stick with brown eyeliner unless I'm wanting to make a statement, but my lashes are already black so I don't see the point of going lighter with my mascara.

Must admit I always wear black, have never thought of wearing brown. Probably should as my hair is brown and yes maybe it would look softer, good idea

Always wear black mascara one of my favourite pieces of makeup couldnt live without it

I always use Black. I haven't actually tried brown. I guess it's because I like my lashes to stand out. Would love to try a brown to see what difference it makes to my short lashes.

I used to prefer brown but found it a little "lazy", so have changed to black and I apply that without a heavy hand so I don't look like Natalia Kills!

Love the bolder look of black

I am aaaaall about that black!! I don't actually know of anyone who even uses any other colour. I looove black. and if it is waterproof... all the better ^.^

I always wear black mascara because that's all I have. If I got to trial this I'd want to try dark brown though!

I have never in my life used dark brown, im unsure how it would look on me? I have always worn black mascara, and I normally search for the blackest of black mascara (and eyeliner) but the dark brown has sparked an interest for me, I will be buying one to try, just for kicks :)

Black, but have not considered using brown before.

I use black. Sometimes I branch out and use Blackest Black. Crazy! I keep meaning to try a brown mascara, but it just never seems to happen. It's like my hands were/are hypnotized into always reaching for the black ....

I use both! I have a black-brown mascara that I picked up accidentally lol but that I actually love. I use both colours depending on the formula I need for the day. If I was to win I'd choose brown as the black-brown that I have still looks black to me so I'd love to see if brown has a less harsher effect against my translucent skin tone!

Always wear black so much more bolder and dramatic go hard or go home. Definitely black I would trial.

Ever hoping to find that perfect mascara

I wear a brown shade for a more subtle look, as I'm in the more mature age bracket, I think black is too severe for us older ladies.

I've been thinking about that one, I think I will try a brown mascara next time I buy one.

I am so ingrained with black mascara it's not funny - it's never ever even occurred to me to try a brown one - that's crazy talk!! ;)
