4 Eye Makeup Looks That Are Even Better with Burgundy Mascara
When it comes to makeup trends—it’s safe to say that burgundy is the new black. Our burgundy mascara, the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara in Deep Burgundy, is the perfect way to incorporate this trend into your next makeup look. It’s basically a fact that eye makeup isn’t complete without a touch of mascara. When you spend all that time perfecting your eyeshadow and eyeliner, enhancing the look of your lashes with mascara is also a must to tie everything together. Mascara makes your eyes pop—it’s that simple. While black is a classic, there’s never been a better time to try a different mascara shade. Blue mascara might be too bold for every day, but burgundy mascara is a great option—and it can be paired with a wide variety of makeup looks. Keep reading for our favorite ways to use our trendy mascara for a burgundy eye makeup look that won’t go unnoticed.
Before we get to our favorite eye makeup looks that involve burgundy mascara, you might need a little more convincing to give this fun color a try. Well, burgundy mascara is super-chic. Burgundy, a deep red, is a shade that has been spotted on the runways and in stunning interiors for multiple seasons now, and finally, it’s becoming a staple in the beauty world as a makeup trend for 2020 and 2021. You can easily get in on the trend by wearing burgundy mascara. If all that’s holding you back is wondering what to wear it with, we have a few ideas worth trying. Keep clicking for four burgundy eye makeup looks that can be brought to life with a coat (or two) of burgundy mascara.
Sometimes, being matchy-matchy is definitely a good thing. In this case, pairing burgundy eyeshadow with a coordinating mascara for a monochromatic makeup look can be seriously gorgeous. Start by applying an eye primer to your lids to help your eyeshadow go on smoothly and wear evenly throughout the day. Then take a warm burgundy eyeshadow shade, like the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow in Matte-ison Avenue, and blend it into your crease. Smoke out your shadow for a burgundy smokey eye that’s very of the moment.
Burgundy is a warm shade, so it’s only natural that burgundy mascara pairs prettily with warm eye makeup looks like the sunset eye. You can create a sunset eye with the L’Oréal Paris Paradise Enchanted Scented Eyeshadow Palette, which features a slew of warm-toned eyeshadow shades.
Get the look by following these simple steps:
Step 1: Apply primer to your lids. Start your sunset eye makeup look off by dabbing on a primer. If you don’t have a primer on hand, no problem! Pat on a small amount of foundation or concealer for a similar effect.
Step 2: Use a light eyeshadow as your base. After you’re done with primer, apply a light shade from your eyeshadow palette, coating your entire lid and extending the color past the corner of your eye, and winging it out slightly.
Step 3: Add depth with a darker eyeshadow. Next, move onto a darker eyeshadow shade from your palette, and work it into your crease.
Step 5: Highlight your eyebrow bones and inner corners. Dust a tiny bit of shimmery champagne eyeshadow from your palette into the inner corner of your eye and underneath your brow bones.
Step 7: Finish with burgundy mascara. And now the moment you’ve been waiting for—grab your burgundy mascara and coat it onto your top lashes to complete your sunset eye.
Big, bold eyebrows are a makeup trend that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. For this look, skip the eyeshadow and eyeliner and focus on enhancing your eyebrows and lashes. Use an eyebrow mascara, like the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Boost & Set Brow Mascara, to create the appearance of thicker eyebrows. Choose the shade that most closely matches your eyebrow hairs. Start with clean eyebrows and use the angled skinny brush in short, upward strokes to help boost volume, building to your desired shape and intensity. The gel mousse formula sets your eyebrows for long-lasting wear. Once your eyebrows are in place, swipe on your trendy burgundy mascara then bat those lashes!
You probably already know how to contour your face, but you can contour your lashes, too. Lash contouring involves applying a colored mascara just to the tips of your lashes for an almost ombré-like effect. All you have to do is apply a lash primer, like the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Primer to the tips of your lashes, then apply burgundy mascara over the primer. Finish with a coat of black mascara on your bottom lashes and you’ve officially mastered the lash contouring trend. This is an easy, peasy way to hop on the burgundy makeup trend bandwagon!
Once your day is over, it’s time to take off all of your makeup. Trust us, you don’t want to attempt to rock the burgundy makeup trend while you sleep! If you’ve been looking for an easier way to remove mascara, you’ve come to the right place. Allow us to introduce you to micellar water. This no-rinse cleansing option acts like a magnet to lift dirt, oil, and makeup up and away from the skin. Try the L’Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser Waterproof - All Skin Types, which intensely purifies and removes even waterproof makeup. Pour a small amount of micellar water onto a cotton pad, then wipe the pad across your face and hold it over closed eyes for a few seconds to remove your burgundy mascara.
