Say goodbye to black mascara! If you’re used to wearing mascara, it doesn’t have to be black every time. And this unexpected color widens your eyes, no matter the color of your eyes. We tell you everything.
Whether you are used to applying makeup using a lot of products or very few, mascara is often the one that no woman can do without. Unlike foundation or highlighter which are more difficult to control, mascara is simple to apply and really widens the eyes. Some of us even have the habit of having eyelash extensions applied to have a real doe look.
But to widen the view even further, there is an unstoppable beauty tip and this concerns the color of the mascara. By default, we tend to buy and wear black mascara. However, this color is not necessarily the most flattering. Perhaps you’ve already noticed this with eyeliner and eye pencils. Shades of brown, green or gold can brighten up your eyes much more than with a black pencil. And the same goes for mascara.

How to choose your burgundy mascara?
If burgundy mascara is very trendy, be careful not to make a mistake. In painting, the burgundy color is obtained by mixing magenta primary red with a little cyan primary blue and a touch of yellow. There are therefore several shades of burgundy which lean more towards red or brown depending on the colour. And for burgundy mascara, experts recommend do not choose it too red.
In fact, to enlarge the eyes, makeup artist David Francés strongly recommends choose a burgundy mascara whose tone leans towards brown and not red. It must be said that red makeup is quite difficult to wear. On the eyes, the color red can quickly connote Haloween, which is really not the idea. Better to reserve the red for the lips by applying a pretty lipstick.
