As expected, summer has ushered in its beauty mantra: the brighter, the better. Bold lipsticks and nearly neon polishes tend to become an unofficial dress code in the warmer months—brighter days call for brighter pigments, no? Consider giving
your lashes the same treatment. This season, swap traditional black mascaras for jewel-tone shades to frame your eyes with a pop of color. We tapped celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose, who is never shy to play with color on clients like Lupita Nyong’o, Tessa Thompson, and Amy Poehler. Here’s how it’s done according to your eye color and complexion.
The Color: Emerald Green
Who it’s For: Those with blue or brown eyes. “In
general, it's more about the eye color than skin tone,” says Barose.
“Pick a mascara that contrasts your eye color. [If it’s] too similar, it
won't pop as much.” No matter your complexion, emerald will look great
on your lashes. But if you’ve got green eyes, you may want to try
another gem.
The Color: Cobalt Blue
Who it’s For: Anyone with brown, green, or hazel eyes.
Adhering to Barose’s tip, bright blue is a stark contrast against brown,
green, and hazel eyes. Another element to keep in mind—your lash color.
“The darker the lashes, the less bright the color will show up. Keep in
mind when you’re buying a mascara that even if it's bright in the tube,
it might translate differently on your lashes. I prefer to buy brighter
shades." If possible, head to stores with test tubes to get a true
sense of the color before committing to a formula.
