Alternatives to Black Mascara for Redheads

Jet black mascara can create give you a lot of definition and make the eyes pop, but for some redheads, it can look quite harsh. Here are five of our favorite color alternatives for redheads:

1. Finally Have Lashes: Auburn

For a “no makeup” makeup look, opt for an auburn mascara that’s close to your natural hair color. This color will help define the lashes without making them look heavy or overdone. Here’s a first-time sneak peek of an exciting H2BAR launch coming soon! The auburn mascara shown is part of a mascara series with other shades. We can’t wait to share more.
