Beauty Fridays: Tinted Mascaras

John Galliano Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear

They were a brief fad in the 80s and they were tacky and silly. However, tinted mascaras are slowly making a comeback. They have become more sophisticated, less mall, more couture. Blues, purples, greens, silvers, golds... be adventurous with your lashes! Small tip: if it seems overwhelming - use your regular black mascara and apply tinted mascara only to the tips (kind of like icing on a cake).
