How to Find the Perfect Colored Mascara for Your Eyes

Make your eyes pop with colored mascaraLike me, I am guessing many of you don't stray too far from brown or black mascara on a daily basis. Well, I'm the first to admit that I'm trés boring in the mascara department. I say we shake things up -- with color! If you haven't heard, colored mascaras can work to enhance specific eye colors, and I promise they aren't tacky and neon. Plum, navy, forest green…these colors can make your eye color pop without looking too garish or over-the-top. It's surprisingly subtle, actually.

Here are some lovely mascara options for each eye color:

I know I'm going against the purpose of this post, but super black mascara is hard to beat for dark-eyed ladies since it adds amazing definition. However, navy looks amazing on brown eyes! (I speak from experience, as I've been trying out navy for my brown peepers lately and love it.)
