Re: Colored mascara

Here are the colored mascaras I've tried that didn't make my eyes sting/burn. I'll try to limit this list to things you can still find, and I'll include my swatch photos (no lash primer used in any of my lash swatches, but a white lash primer would likely make colors pop a bit more):

MAC MACStack Mascara Underground shade Squirt Stack - it's still available at MAC's site, but you can't add it to cart unless you log in with your MAC Lover (reward program) account. The other 2 shades (purple and blue) really are sold out. Like the standard black version of MACStack, this mascara gives me spider leg lashes. But I love this green color.

UOMA Beauty Drama Bomb Mascara
- right now the only available shade is black, but keep an eye out for special releases. UOMA released an electric blue version (shade Azurite) for their Salute to the Sun collection last year and I hope they bring it back someday. Not sure you can still find it anywhere, but if you do—and you want bold no-doubt-about-it blue lashes—definitely grab it. I'd love to see UOMA release Drama Bomb in other fun shades.

Pat McGrath Dark Star Color Blitz Mascara - the hot pink shade (Pink Mystique) is still available at Pat's site for just $13 USD right now, but the cobalt and turquoise shades are sold out. I have all 3 shades (plus the standard black) because Dark Star's one of my favorite mascara formulas. There are swatches of all 3 shades in the next photo, where you can compare Pat's blue to UOMA's. 

By Terry Mascara Terrybly - this comes in a denim navy blue and dark purple that are more subdued than UOMA or Pat McGrath's mascara colors. I use these when I want a subtle lash color that doesn't overpower everything else on my eyes. This is the priciest option on my list, but sometimes you can find By Terry products on sale at Space NK, Dermstore, Beautylish, Bluemercury, Nordstrom, etc. 

In my photo below, the red Diorshow mascara was limited edition. I posted this photo in another BIC thread last year and I'm reusing it here to show you all the other mascaras.

Eyeko Colored Lash Alert Mascara shade Green - also comes in a few other colors but I only have the green one. Bought this on a whim one day and I'm disappointed that it's so subtle a color. I'll have to use a white lash primer in the future and see if that boosts the color. These are sold out at Ulta, but SkinStore has all shades in stock. 

Yeah, I should've used my phone's higher resolution rear camera instead of the front camera for better definition.Yeah, I should've used my phone's higher resolution rear camera instead of the front camera for better definition.

Mascaras I haven't tried yet but will likely purchase to test (for science!): 

 

  • Ciate London Keep An Eye On Coloured Mascara - shade Be Happy is a bright citron and I'm pretty sure I need it in my life. Yellow mascara (eh, yellow makeup in general) is seemingly difficult to formulate, so I should keep my expectations realistic. 
  • Kiko Milano Smart Colour Mascara - comes in a few shades in the purple > blue > teal green range. There's also an anthracite shade that looks interesting. 
  • The Lip Bar Big Timer Mascara - almost bought the green shade on my last Target run; might have to go back for it this weekend. 

 

UPDATE because I forgot one I haven't tried: Il Makiage Icon Mascara comes in a royal blue shade. Might be another option for you to consider. 

 

I'm sure there are more options on the indie brand circuit. Maybe other BICers can recommend a few.
