Hey Beauties!
Hope you're ready for spring!
Although, it dropped to 30 degrees here in New York the spring equinox is technically today.
But, no matter how cold it is outside, I have another hot spring makeup trend for you!
This one is already big and is relatively easy to create.
Colored Mascara!
You can find a whole rainbow of colored mascaras ranging from drugstore friendly prices to super high end brands.
Regardless of the shade or brand you choose, there are so many fun ways use colored mascaras.
To prove my point, I have three (3) different tutorials for you using colored mascaras!
I used two colored mascaras from Maybelline.
So let's jump right into our first one!
You can see my video tutorials here
1. Easy Blue Mascara Tutorial
This one is truly simple and fun to create.
In just a couple of steps you have trending eyes for spring!
1. Lots of Blue Mascara: Swipe on several coats of blue mascara to top and bottom lashes for a strong pop of blue.
2. Add Pink Blush & Lipstick: For a pretty contrast, dust a pink blush onto the apples of your cheeks.
Then apply a shimmery pink lipstick to lips.
Put these steps together and we get...
An easy, pretty blue mascara look!
Using just the one shade of colored mascara lets the eyes make a statement and become the main focal point.
If you lashes are naturally a lighter shade than mine, you might not need to add as many coats of mascara to achieve a blue shade (use your discretion).
Blue mascara is universally flattering; whether you have hazel eyes (like me), blue, brown, or green this is an excellent shade of mascara.
Products I Used:
L'Oréal: True Match Super Blendable Blush Baby Blossom
Sonia Kashuk: Synthetic Domed Multipurpose Brush No. 16
Milani: Color Statement Lipstick in Pink Frost
2. Monochromatic Burgundy Makeup Tutorial
Another fun option with any colored mascara is going for a monochromatic look.
You can see the video of this tutorial here
1. Burgundy & Beige Eyeshadow: Start by covering lids with a matte burgundy eyeshadow. Use a blending brush to work the shadow gently into the crease of your eye.
Then take a matte beige shadow and run it though the brow bone, just for a subtle highlight.
2. Burgundy Mascara: Load a burgundy mascara onto to your top and bottom lashes.
If your lashes are darker like mine, it may take several coats to see a saturated burgundy shade.
3. Concealer. More Burgundy Eyeshadow & Burgundy Lipstick: Take a concealer in a shade that matches your skin tone and smooth it under your eyes and around cheeks to clean up any shadow fallout.
Use more of the burgundy eyeshadow and blend it onto the apples of your cheeks with your fingertips.
Finally, add a burgundy lipstick to lips. I didn't have the shade I wanted so I had to mix two and ended up topping lips with more burgundy eyeshadow. It worked.
Add all these together and we will get...
Our finished Burgundy Monochromatic makeup tutorial!
As you can see, the burgundy mascara is a little less vivid on my dark lashes than the blue was.
But when the light hits it, you can really see the tint.
Going full burgundy really kept the mascara in play and helped show it off more.
You could create a monochromatic makeup look with any colored mascara; just keep the other products the same color as your mascara.

3. Double Colored Mascara Tutorial
For my third colored mascara tutorial, I use two shades and add a bit more color.
You can watch this tutorial here
1. Lilac Eyeshadow + Highlighter: Take a shimmery eyeshadow stick and color all over your lids to get a nice opaque shade.
Use an eyeshadow brush to blend out the shade and drag it slightly into the crease.
Then take a rose gold highlighter and dust it across your brow bone.
2. Blue Mascara: Swipe a few coats of blue mascara on your TOP lashes only.
3. Burgundy Mascara: Next use the burgundy mascara and coat your lower lashes for some extra dimension and color.
4. Contour & Highlighter + Blush & Lipstick: On an angled brush take a light brown contour color and run it under your cheek bones.
Take the rose gold highlighter we used for the brows bone, and dust it on the tops of your cheek bones.
Use a light pink blush and lightly blend it onto the apples of your cheeks.
To finish the look blend a coral red lipstick onto your lips.
And finally we will have...
Our finished double colored mascara makeup look!
Even if your lashes are darker, the subtle tints of color in the colored mascaras add so much depth and dimension to the whole makeup look.
The blue and silver shimmer in the lilac eyeshadow stand out more thanks to the blue mascara.
The burgundy mascara pairs well with the lipstick and warms up the face.
