Nice brown mascara

16 years ago

Does anyone know of a nice brown (NOT brown-black) mascara that goes on nice and doesn't clump? I've been using a brand for years that can only be purchased by mail order, and I'd like to find a good brand that I can buy locally.

Covergirl Professional all-in-one mascara comes in brown and it does not clump. I actually use it as brow gel, it is a very nice medium brown. I also have used the black on my lashes and it worked really well.

Good old Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black Mascara. Affordable, available at any drug store or grocery. I've used it since I started using mascara many moons ago. I use waterproof for weddings and swimming. For everyday, I like the non-waterproof - I like the Maybelline as it washes off easily. I am a firm believer in black mascara for all women, all ages, all hair colors. Brow gel is another best friend. I use the brown color as it matches my hair color, and it tames and fills in where they grey hairs have started coming in:)). I don't care for the harsh look of eyebrow pencil.

Patser, if your skin is like mine, you might just save yourself lots of money and grief, and stop using eye make-up. I too started getting allergic reactions after using eye make-up for many years. I could not see myself without eye make-up and so had allergy tests done and they said it was the black (charcoal) that I was allergic to. I switch to brown, same problem. I tried Clinique, Physician's Formula and others that all claimed to be hypo-allergenic, same problem. One honest person told me that there was no such thing as hypo-allergenic stuff because there would always be someone who would be allergic to an ingredient, whether it was natural (like fruit) or chemical. I went into work one day with no eye make-up feeling so self-conscious and told whomever I encountered, "o.k., what do you think"? They didn't know what I was talking about. I really wish you good luck and hope you either find that one make-up that will be right for you or you just give it up.

Good morning, Yes, the Donnatella link was supposed to be funny. I do have some tips for over 50 makeup of my own. The number one ager is too thin eyebrows, you know the ones that are all pencil. Another is either too dark or too bleached hair. If you have thin lips, wear a shade that is the closest to the skin inside your mouth. A soft pink but not too bright. Wearing dark lipstick and lining lips makes you look older. Unless of course if you still have full lips. Lastly, go easy on eyeshadow. Too much just draws people to the ageing eyelid. Is everyone over 50 adequately depressed now? Donna

Mascara Question......racoon eyes

I'd try waterproof masacara, or even a different brand with stronger staying power. Great Lash comes off rather easily. You should find the waterproof types of mascara stay on a lot better... only problem is you will need to find a really good eye makeup remover. Does your mascara come off if you use your eye creams as removers? I'm guessing with Great Lash, yes. Great Lash makes great Lashes but it comes off with ease... too much ease for some people. With your creams (even just your natural oils), etc... you are more or less "using" an eye make up remover of sorts so when your eyes blink the masacara is coming off and staying under your eye. If you use a waterproof type, it usually takes a lot more to get the mascara off so it shouldn't come off so easily and create the racoon eyes. My best friend used to use Great Lash and by the end of the night her eyes seriously looked ridiculous. All the mascara was off her lashes and under her eyes... I'm like "Can't you see yourself. Try a different masacara"!

There are lots of brands of brown mascara. Just go to the drugstore and go up and down the aisle and read the lables lok for the word "brown" on the package) OR go to a department store and ask for "brown mascara", and they will bring them out for you to look at.

High end cosmetic companies also make mascara in deep dark colors other than brown. They softer and are not as harsh as black mascara, and are not bright colors either like that horrible blue mascara that Maybelline makes. Both Channel and Lancome make mascara in deep brownish plum, and deep, almost brown, forest green, charcoal gray, ect. Just something to consider when shopping......

Yes, I've seen brown mascaras... I want specific recommendations, not just whether or not they exist. I don't like to waste money on experiments so if there is one that is often recommended, I'll try it. I just want plain ol' brown mascara, not any other color and not black.

Max Factor's 2000 calorie in "Auburn". It looks reddish, but goes on brown. Very natural looking, but it may be sold under another name now, MF has revamped alot of their products. Still, the colors are the same, and most likely so are the formulas. I'd just choose one of their thickening mascaras in the auburn color. Approx $6 or $7 at Walmart type stores.

:) Max's new 'precision' applicator (the punky-looking rubber ones) comes in a brown, and it's actually knocked Lamcome out of the top spot (two of the three indulgences in my life were Lancome's 'lash out' and their 'artliner' pens)

E.L.F - available online and at KMart or Big Lots - and it's only $1.I have to watch it with my sensitive eyes, but I've had no problems. And it is dual end -regular or waterproof

I have traveled the aisles looking for brown mascara and have not seen any in a long time. I also want a nice brown that does not clump together. I tried the black/brown Cover Girl mascara and the one I bought was clumpy so much so that when I cleaned my face it came off in clumps. I will try some of the ones mentioned because I don't want to mail order but will if I have to. i want it THAT bad.

I'm in love with Lashblast by Covergirl, but I think it only comes in black-brown. Makes my lashes so thick and full. But any mascara will clump if you don't apply it properly. You need to wipe the excess off the wand before applying. I use a little piece of saranwrap to wipe off the excess, then when I go back for a second coat, I can use the masacara on the saran wrap instead of dipping back in the tube. That way I don't waste any.

Did Jenn who posted the question re: nice brown mascara ever find a brand to suit her? I have yet to find any. I am a fading redhead and 77 years old and feel that brown-black is too harsh. Years ago Elizabeth Arden put out a beige-brown that was perfect. As a teen, I started out with Maybelline's sable brown. Would that they had that color now.
