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 wear brown as it looks better as you age especially with my blonde hair and pale skin.

I've always worn black mascara. I guess it's the safer option.

I normally buy ridicously fat mascara wands for ridiculously fat lashes but Ive been using the Moisture Mist mascara from the Beauty Box and I really love it. It really does separate my lashes but it also makes them look soft and feathery. I love the effect so much! My plan was to give it to my mum because she has a hard job finding the right one but I ended up keeping it...oops...greedy daughter alert! I will be a better daughter and get her one for her birthday :-)

I always wear black, would still choose black every time. It's what I'm comfortable with now :) It's the wand that makes the difference so I always love trying new wands, within a brand that I like using

Definitely black! I have dark features so might as well go all the way or not at all!

My eyelashes are black anyway, so I have to use black - and I love the dark, defined look it gives! I'm really keen to see how smudge-proof this mascara is - I have such problems with so-called waterproof mascara smudging!

24th March, 2015

I normally use brown black or black

I always wear a dark brown - why? I was told when I was younger that the black was too dark for my skin tones and have always stuck with it. I also dont like to bring too much attention to myself, so brown suits that better. Would love to try a new brand that hopefully is nice and easy to apply - not gluggy like some brands on sale.

I wear black, benefit they're real. I have black hair but I colour my brows in to be a brown red shade I would like to try a brown shade but haven't got round to purchasing one I have brown eyes so need something to give me more glam!

24th March, 2015
