I’ve been wearing black mascara daily for years and years. I don’t remember why I bought this bright blue one from Sephora, but it’s so fun I wore it to Pride this year. (The mascara also comes in black and brown.) It got slightly wet in the huge storm that led to the festival closing early, and it didn’t run, AND I know it has staying power, because the next morning (I don’t take off my mascara at night — bad Kate!) my lashes were still quite blue.
While this mascara doesn’t lengthen as well as my longtime drugstore favorite (granted, this one’s name includes “Volumizing” and not “Lengthening”), it thickens lashes well with its beautiful, bright shade of blue (similar to the tube color, in fact) and really stands out.
Sephora’s Size Up Volumizing Mascara is also available in standard brown and black, in case you’re looking for something more office-appropriate, as well as this cobalt blue for $16. The mini size is $9.
(Blue mascaras have been trending lately – you can find pricier versions from reader favorites like Diorshow and Chanel (Chanel is probaby the most subtle of the bunch).
Readers, what’s your “probably not for work” makeup item? Blue mascara? Gold eyeliner? Do tell…
