Mascara can be found in practically everyone's makeup bag. Usually you'll come across black and brown versions. Although there's been a bit of a push lately to embrace more colorful formulas, from navy to green to orange and even red. But there's one shade you may be missing out on. We're talking about clear mascaras.
They're a great option for when you simply want slightly fuller, separated eyelashes without all the drama. Think of them like clear lip glosses because each treats and conditions. A majority are billed for use on both eyelashes and eyebrows, which makes them even more appealing and cost-effective. A couple can even serve as primers or top coats.
