Seeing red in the best way.
By Isabelle Buneo, Editorial Assistant ·
It’s official: burgundy mascara is the new “it girl” makeup trend. Colored mascaras have been having a moment for some time now, whether it’s neutrals like brown and white or more experimental colors like blue and pink, but as we head full force into spring and summer, the internet has officially decided that burgundy mascara is the trend of the moment.
The perfect happy medium between a fun, striking color and a tone neutral enough to not be too in your face, beauty lovers everywhere can’t get enough of these deep red-brown shades. A great hue for enhancing any color eye, burgundy mascara is the perfect way to spice up your makeup look. Celebrity makeup artist Ermahn Ospina says, “I love the combination of amber, green or brown eyes with burgundy mascara because it’s very special color combination, but I would encourage everyone to try it and be playful with your makeup looks.”
While burgundy mascara is a statement on its own, celebrity makeup artist D’Andre Michael notes that, “You can pair it with a simple sheer flesh-tone eyeshadow with a color-washed lid. Various shades of pinks, light to dark, neutral palettes of beige, medium brown, chocolate, bronze, gold, copper, olive green and pewter all look great with burgundy mascara.” Ahead, the best burgundy mascaras on the market to help you harness the power of this chic trend.
One of Michael’s favorites and formulated to build lashes and increase length and volume by up to five times their natural thickness, L’Oréal’s original voluminous mascara comes in a deep burgundy shade, and the smudge-proof contains panthenol and ceramide-R to condition lashes while it wears.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! mascara is a favorite amongst beauty influencers, celebs and fans alike, and the new berry brown shade is flattering on all skin tones, bringing out the gold in hazel eyes, the green in green eyes, the amber in brown eyes, and the blue in blue eyes. Plus, the formula’s 24 Hour Vertical Lift Effect ensures long-lasting length and volume.
The first refillable mascara from The House of Dior and a revamped version of the brand’s iconic, OG mascara and one of Ospina’s favorite burgundy mascaras, Diorshow Iconic Overcurl comes in four gorgeous shades, including 664 Brick—a dusty red-brown. Guaranteed to provide 24 hours of comfort and wear with just one swipe, this burgundy mascara is perfect for creating a wide-eyed look that will last all day.
Westman Atelier’s Eye Want You Mascara in Chocolate Terracotta is a rich, reddish brown mascara that beautifully emphasizes blue and green eyes and bounces perfectly off of red or auburn hair. Plus, the formula contains all clean ingredients like organic shea butter and plant-derived ester for maximum build, long wear and nourishment.
This luxurious mascara comes in six colorful yet chic and understated shades, and 03 Rouge H is a no-brainer when it comes to creating a perfect burgundy look. Composed of 97 percent natural ingredients and featuring a gentle formula made with sensitive eyes in mind, this product is a great option for those looking for instant and long-lasting lash length without a crunchy feel.
Tower28’s MakeWaves Mascara is a cult-classic and for good reason—with its long-lasting, smudge-free, vegan, contact- and sensitive eyes-safe formula, MakeWaves is a universal favorite, and the new Drift: Rich Espresso Brown shade is perfect for a brown-leaning burgundy mascara.
Another celebrity- and fan-favorite, Thrive Causmetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara is a best-selling tubing mascara that creates unmatched length and volume that’s long-lasting but easy to remove. The new shade—ShantaQuilette—is more of a pink color in nature, but when combined with naturally darker lashes results in a stunning burgundy shade.
As the brand says about this limited-edition shade of their iconic, intense mascara, Mixed Emotions—a deep berry shade—”embraces a deep burgundy, imparting both a softness and subversive sophistication to the eye.”
Another favorite of Ospina’s, YSL’s Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara is known for its black and blue shades, but the brand’s brown shade features just the right amount of redish undertones to make it a great introduction to burgundy mascara, especially if you’re not too keen on your look leaning too far red.
Another limited-edition shade released to keep up with the burgundy mascara craze, the Burgundy Haze shade of Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara is the ideal drugstore staple for adding burgundy shades into your everyday makeup routine.
