Brown mascara

Shades of brown mascara are divided into warm and cold. They are so versatile that they allow you to choose the perfect shade for dark or tanned, snow-white and just light skin, for green, brown and even blue eyes. To choose your shade, you should rely on the type of appearance. Take a look at your natural hair color: if it has a “redhead” or a golden hue, then your appearance type is warm (brown eyes and golden skin undertones can indicate this). For representatives of this type of appearance, warm shades of brown mascara are suitable - chocolate, classic with a redhead or red pigment in the composition.
Girls whose hair is ashy and their eyes are blue or gray have a cold type. They are suitable for dark brown mascara, which strongly resembles black.
