Green eyes are one of the rarest eye colors in the world, so much so that we don’t always know how to enhance them. We reveal the perfect mascara color to bring out the green in your eyes.
Is the reign of black mascara truly over? In any case, this is what the makeup trends for spring-summer 2024 suggest, which already give pride of place to colorful mascaras. After the emergence of a strong taste for brown or brown mascaras last year, it is much more flashy and decided colors which promise to be ideal for revisiting all our favorite eye makeup.
Make-up brands had already planned to equip us, since low-cost brands like Maybelline, Kiko Milano and Bourjois have launched on the credo of colored mascaras, to compete with the blue mascaras of luxury brands like the famous Electric blue Lash Clash mascara from Yves Saint Laurent that we love. Very good news for our looks and our wallet. After the buzz of the perfect mascara color for brown eyes (a beauty tip used in particular by our Miss France 2024, Ève Gilles), we invite you to discover the ideal mascara color for green eyes, the one that will make them stand out more than any other makeup shade. When we know that only 2% of the population have green eyes, we cannot pass up a makeup tip that is entirely dedicated to them. This shade of mascara is precisely one of the new shades of Maybelline’s Sky High mascara: the mascara burgundy Or Bordeaux in French.

Green eye makeup: burgundy mascara, an ideal color to make them stand out
If this burgundy colored mascara has seduced influencers on social networks, it is because it has the gift of accentuating the green color of irises with its original burgundy shade. And for good reason, plum, burgundy and purple shades, which subtly lean towards red, are complementary colors to green. However, a color opposite to that of the color of our eyes on the color wheel will always look great with the latter, and will be able to make it stand out. This is why the burgundy color makes the green of the eyes both more intense and brighter, in short, lovely.

Burgundy mascara: tips to know to apply it correctly

- use a primer on your eyelashes : this type of makeup product that we rarely use turns out to be a great ally when wearing colored mascara. When chosen in a white formula, it coats the lashes with a perfect makeup base to reveal the color of your burgundy (or blue, etc.) mascara. You can find it for less than 4 euros in perfumeries, and it increases the effect of colored mascara tenfold.
- apply at least 2 coats of mascara : not revolutionary, this simple reflex that you may already have, allows you to coat the eyelashes particularly well with product to give intensity to the color, especially when used on dark eyelashes. You are free to choose to make up just your upper eyelashes if you want a more subtle colored make-up on a daily basis or also those at the bottom.
