Brown mascara is one of the most overlooked beauty items – here’s why you shouldn’t sleep on it.
TikTok has the ability to make, break and even bring back iconic make-up trends. Two of the biggest trends on the app right now are siren eyes (a more elevated cat eye) and the “clean girl aesthetic” which is yet another take on the no-make-up make-up look.
To keep with an au naturel look, you’ll want to arm yourself with a natural-looking base, a light flush to the cheeks and natural-looking lashes (which you don’t have to keep bare). Brown mascara is a great way to enhance the eyes and create a natural look, all while still adding volume, length and anything else you desire. So before you go reaching for your usual black mascara, see what a difference a brown can make.
