Okay, so who else has been hesitant to dive into the world of colored mascara? For a long time, I stuck to my trusty black or brown, but this #MascaraSeries has really pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I'm so glad it did! Today was Day 7, and it was all about blue mascara, specifically on my blonde lashes, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. Why Blue Mascara? Especially for Blonde Lashes! Honestly, I was surprised by how much I loved the blue! If you have lighter lashes like mine, black mascara can sometimes feel a bit harsh or heavy. Blue, however, offers a fantastic contrast that makes your eyes pop in a really unique way. It subtly enhances your natural eye color, whether they're blue, green, brown, or hazel, without being too in-your-face. It's like wearing a cool accessory for your eyes, and it feels so fresh and fun for any season. Tips for Rocking Your Colored Mascara Look After trying out a few different shades in my 7 days, 7 mascara colors challenge, I've picked up a few tricks: Curl Those Lashes! This is non-negotiable for any mascara, but especially with colored ones. It really helps to lift and open up your eyes, allowing the color to be seen better. Primer Can Be Your Best Friend: If you want the color to truly stand out, especially if your lashes are very dark, a white mascara primer underneath can make a huge difference. It creates a blank canvas for the vibrant shade. Don't Be Afraid to Layer: I usually do two coats. The first coat gets the base color down, and the second really intensifies it. Sometimes I even focus the second coat just on the tips for a subtle flash of color. Consider Your Lower Lashes: For a bolder look, apply a touch of the blue mascara to your lower lashes too! It ties the whole look together and adds an extra playful touch. Keep the Rest Simple: Since your lashes are doing all the talking, I like to keep my eyeshadow neutral or even skip it altogether, opting for just a clean liner or a soft wash of color to let the blue shine. My Take on Thrive Causemetics Blue Mascara I used Thrive Causemetics mascara for this look, and their formulas are always amazing. It applied smoothly, lengthened beautifully, and the blue shade was vibrant without being chalky. Plus, knowing it's cruelty-free and focuses on nourishing ingredients makes it an even bigger win in my book. It really helped to make the blue stand out on my blonde lashes without clumping. What's Next in the Mascara Series? This '7 days, 7 mascara colors' journey has been an absolute blast! Trying blue mascara on my blonde lashes was a highlight, but I'm already thinking about other colors. Maybe a deep burgundy for a subtle, sophisticated pop, or a vibrant purple for something truly daring? The possibilities are endless when you open up to colored lashes! What colored mascaras have you tried, or what should I try next in my series? I'm always looking for new ideas!
