[unpaid/sample] Are we ready for coloured mascaras as they make the rounds again? Who can forget Clinique Black Honey? Everyone has had a crack at coloured mascaras over the years but these beauties from 3INA are doing it better than anyone I can remember.
I realise they look pretty daunting – I’ll say from the get-go that the way to wear these, if you’re not heading to a festival, is with a light stroke of black over the top. That way you get the best of both worlds by dampening the brightness slightly but keeping the background brightness – it works. If you want to magnify the colour, use a coat of white underneath.
The brush, in my view, is overly complicated, but it does lay down a lot of colour and takes the lashes high. I definitely saw extra length. I know that all mascara formulas are pretty much the same, with just margins of variety, but 3INA seems to have nailed a formula that delivers on properly colouring the lashes and giving length and volume. There are 8 shades – an olive green that I’d definitely be up for – and they are all numbered rather than named.
Pink is 371, blue is 850.
Purple (my favourite) is 482 and green is 793. I think I’ve tried the yellow one before – I’ve got a memory of it from last summer. Not sure I’d go back to that one! They’re £12 each and definitely worth a dabble, I think. Find the range HERE.
