Desperately searching for a brown mascara that's actually brown and not "off black" at the drugstore

[@HannahLouisePoston]

UPDATE 19/99 lash tint in taupe: I've started using it in my brows and it's amazing. It works perfectly in the brows and doesn't feel at ALL like it's too dry. I find myself hesitating to use it on my lashes because it's so unsatisfying and takes so long to build up even a very light layer. I've become totally convinced that it was developed for use in the brows but that it happens to be eye safe and they were like "I wonder what would happen if we marketed it as also being a lash tint??" redhead revolution gingerlash: since I loved everything about this except for its slightly heavy application, I started wiping off the excess mascara on the tube and then with a tissue before applying. This gives me the light and "raspy" application that I desire, ability to build fluffy lashes, and the color is perfect. Even with this method it's still wetter and more satisfying to apply to my lashes than the 19/99 tint straight from the tube. I LOVE this mascara when used this way and I have used it every single day with a variety of makeup looks. the other three: haven't touched 'em

[@Katie2986]

Tysm for this! 💖

[@agresticumbra]

Have you tried a different spool with the 19/99?

[@anotherlemontree]

I can't speak for the taupe, but I have the 19/99 lash tint in black (idk whether I just missed that it was also marketed as a brow tint or whether the black one is in fact only marketed as a mascara) and mine has none of the dry dissatisfying qualities you described your taupe one having. In fact I'd go so far as to say that it's as wet as any mascara I've ever tried, but that the look is subtle and wispy, which I really love. I've had mine for several months at this point and it's as wet now as it was when freshly opened. Edited to add: I purchased mine from Cult Beauty online in the UK.

[@madisonrae9725]

I only use it in my brows, which it's perfect for. 100% agree with your take!

Just an fyi: Just for Redheads has a variety of light colored mascaras. Ginger, light brown, taupe, etc. Their ginger matches my copper hair. It’s not an amazing brush or formula, but the color selections are better than any brand I’ve ever found.

[@agresticumbra]

I used JFR mascara for years, going back over 20 yrs. My issue was then that the hues were all too warm, but looks like ginger cocoa might now have a plummy/violet note, which would be a plus.

Was coming here to recommend them.

[@ThePedersenHomestead]

@@agresticumbraThe one I use, ginger, is warm but my hair is very warm. I have blonde lashes so they are invisible against my pale skin and finding their ginger shade was life changing! As much as mascara can be life changing. 😂 I wear the ginger brown if I want a stronger look and I am so happy it’s still so light.

Hi Hannah, I’m one of the commenters who recommended 19/99’s mascara and it’s so fun to see you try it! I do wonder if you got an old one, I always get mine straight from the company and, while they’re not a wet formula by any means, my experience with them has never been that they’re super dry. I’ve been using the same tube for about 5 months and am only just starting to feel like it’s getting a bit dry, but I think I’ll get another month of use out of it. However I only wear mascara a few times a week, not every day, so it might run out faster for someone else. I’d be interested to see if a fresh tube makes a difference for you, the color looks very pretty and natural on you!

[@jenniferross6852]

I think the best thing about this is how coloring matters. As someone with super dark hair and pale skin anything less then black mascara makes my lashes paler then they are . So all mascaras can look natural on me

[@yuzan3607]

I also have dark hair and pale skin, but black mascara looks way too off on me. Weirdly, I recently discovered that blue mascara looks the most natural on me, I don't even understand how can a literal BLUE look natural lol. My eyes are very vibrant brown, I don't know if that's the reason? maybe the black clashes with the very vibrant brown of my eyes and the blue fits right in. No one even notices that I'm using blue mascara, it just looks like my eyelashes "but better". It was a really cool random discovery.

Loreal Voluminous Brown Balm mascara is my go to and I have tried so so many brown mascaras I couldn't list them all. I have super sensitive eyes and it's the only thing that doesn't bother them. The balm variety is soft and lush. Plus I get compliments all the time on my lashes.

I got the 19/99 mascara in brown and black directly from the brand and it was slightly wet when I first got it, but it does dry out very quickly. I enjoy the tiny wand and the light and fluffy application, but when the tube is older the mascara crumbles throughout the day and leaves specks on my face (and in my eyes, which caused me to stop using it). I remember it originally only came in black, then brown, and then taupe was added later, so I think it was actually designed as a minimal mascara that you could also use on your brows. I didn’t try the taupe because I was afraid it would be too yellow for me based on brand photos, so it’s good to hear that it’s actually a cool tone. Thanks for including the hand swatch! I believe the ingredient safety standards for mascaras are more stringent than those for brow products, so I wouldn’t recommend putting brow gel on your lashes.

[@tealeeliz8695]

“Please register to vote” at the beginning is A++. I adore you. 🎉

[@metaaa99]

try etude house or clio, though most kbeauty brands have a variety of colors that arent black (different shades of brown and grey, usually). So i suggest you take a look at the different kbeauty mascara formulas and pick one that suits your preferences, because its highly likely they will have it in a shade of brown!

[@joyuna]

I love the Clio Kill Lash Superproof mascara - choco brown is my perfect brown, and rose brown is very red (would be a good match for auburns and deep redheads). I also have a taupe from Romand (Han All Fix) which is great.

Commenting before I even watch because I am thrilled to have a video like this to watch!

[@OanaFabianaAndreescu]

Perhaps others have mentioned it previously, but I think the Korean and Japanese brands have some very good brown mascara options that may be up your alley. For instance, both Romand and LilyByRed have brown mascaras in warm and cool brown shades. On the Japanese side, CanMake also have a brown mascara (and many other interesting colours, such as Wine Mauve). The Romand and lilybyred are around the 10 dollar mark, I think. The CanMake options are slighly more expensive but still under 20$.

I had never heard of the redhead revolution mascara before but I really like the look of it (I'm a strawberry blond so I think the warmer color would be flattering for me). since you're looking for more of a cool-toned color, there are some taupey mascaras from korean and japanese brands that I think might be the color you're looking for: -Isehan kiss lasting curl mascara in milk tea greige or teddy greige (milk tea greige looks quite light and teddy greige looks more like a truly grayish taupe) -Koji dolly wink mascara in bitter greige -Cezanne nuance color mascara in latte beige or hazel greige -Cezanne lasting curl mascara in greige -Canmake off-surun mascara in cat ash -D-up perfect extension mascara in marron greige -Ettusais eye edition mascara in sandy greige -Kirei factory mirror lash mascara in london tan or classic greige -Cocoroiki eye design mascara in warm greige (this one has a small brush a bit like the 1999 one) I hope this is helpful!

[@nancymcclymont2858]

I have been searching my whole LIFE! Max Factor used to have a really lovely auburn shade you could get at drugstores. I'm the freckled, strawberry blonde old duck with see thru skin to your much younger titian tressed, opaque skinned self. I need that brown mascara! Anything even remotely in the direction of black looks like ink splashed in my eyes. I definitely know because of my theatre background which has forced me to wear black mascara from a young age, just to make expressions visible to the audience. My lashes are pale blonde, always have been. I have olive green, terracotta, & teal mascaras which are very fun. I have one chocolate brown mascara somewhere but the formula is nothing fabulous. I have tended to buy Mineral Fusion, I think that is the brand Whole Foods carries. They are okay-ish. Currently my best mascara is a tubing one, supposedly, by Handaivan. The applicator is effectively a metal stick with grooves. I must say it helps. It's pretty chocolatey. If I combine that with an eyelash primer, maybe you told me about this one (Lancome Cils Booster XL) and heat-curling my lashes a skosh (with age they have become positively stiff and pointed at the floor!)... I have moments of relative happiness with the result. Certainly this tubing mascara makes me aware that I actually do have long lashes. It does feel more precarious though, using what amounts to an ice pick that close to my eyes! I was intrigued by the subtle but effective curling mascara you used in a recent video. Was that the one where you went harder than you really wanted to go on eyemakeup and then recognized you were out of alignment? (Can I say how impressed I am that you are keeping up a pretty solid schedule of filming and your brain does not seem to have suffered from the little man who now lives outside of you? As a mother of 4/grandmother of 4 I, I say BRAVA! That deserves a medal. And another for honoring your own boundaries. Just over over here, cheering you on & wishing that those of us who are most in need of mascara could actually have a good product!!!!) Obviously this tubing one is doing the job but wouldn't it be amazing to be able to have some options? I have ordered auburn mascara from redhead revolution before. It was fine. I just thought it would be nice to have a GREAT mascara for the almost albinos like me who frankly need a little help up in here! Save us, HLP! Lol

The Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara in Auburn is the mascara by which I still judge all mascaras. I miss it so much! Nothing else has ever compared when it comes to the color.

@@janecherrytree I’m glad you chimed in. It’s been a while since I used it! I was also reflecting on the Glossier as I was using it yesterday, and it’s also probably too dark. The formula is so natural that it seems like a good choice, but color maybe still too dark.

ISEHAN Kiss Me Heroine has a bricky yellow undertoned brown mascara (there are a few versions, avoid the one with the ombré lid because it’s tubing) that I absolutely love. I’ve tried the Sky High True Brown and compared to the sky high, KMH is definitely lighter and similar in tint to the ginger mascara you liked. Formula is incredible AND it’s at a drugstore price. Also they have a skinny wand version that gives a similar hint-y natural application to the first mascara you shared

[@jnl3564]

To be honest, I would just add some foundation to whatever mascara has the best formula. I respect your searches for the holy grail but I prefer to turn my curiosity into creativity and creation because I find it more satisfying. I love your ideas and usually try them out in a way that works for me. By the way, you knocked it out of the park with the "my lips but better" look you have cultivated and are wearing today. Just 10/10. Stunning. Couldn't be better.

[@jnl3564]

Yeah I added foundation to my black brown lash paradise and it ended up being straight opaque gray, no warm tones at all. I used it and it looked good when I combed it with a clean spoolie. I think the only issue is that in sunlight the texture and tone would be obvious, natural but still defined. I think I would have better results from a transparent product, like a clear mascara with a small amount of taupe or gray pigment. More like a sheer tint.

[@kpops168]

I cannot imagine the circumstances where you end up with wet tubes of mascara seaweed on your face 😂 For me tubing mascara does not remove or even budge unless the water is very hot and not a simple splash of water but a lot of hot water is repeatedly washed over the eye. I wear mine and have for twenty years and even wear it during triathlon involving the swim and a lot of sweat, my martial arts training, boxing and very long work days. Never have a single speck break off and I’m just using Clinique. So your experience is so surprising! Love the 19/99 for brows and lashes too. Colour is brilliant.

19/99's taupe became a brow staple for me and I ended up liking their brown mascara better for my lashes, still very natural and wispy but it took less work to use

[@madisonpolston2028]

Thank you for testing the tubing! I loved how it looked on you and only use tubing 😅

[@commonpoppy]

Hannah this is slightly off topic but would you ever consider doing a video about *how* to apply different mascaras? I feel like everyone just assumes that this is common knowledge and I have never seen anyone truly explain it. I have no idea what I am doing when applying mascara and it always looks a bit off. I love the way your lashes look every time and I am really intrigued! Great video !

[@christinehottinger5791]

Glad you found at least one that fits into your current routine! I have to say it's interesting to me that you are so sensitive to bold colors on your lashes, but love a pretty bold color for your brows. I wonder how you'd feel about these colors, especially the red-leaning ones, when you're about to re-dye your eyebrows.

If you are interested in trying any K-beauty mascaras, I highly suggest getting the Heroine Make mascara remover in the blue tube. So many of these mascaras are very long wearing, especially if they are using the word "fix" to market them, but the mascara remover really helps. Both Etude and romand have colored mascaras for $10 or less.

My favorite mascara is Lisa Eldridge’s recent release. It’s not to heavy and even tho it isn’t waterproof, it doesn’t flake at all. I’ve heard she is planning a brown and hopefully she will consider other colors as well!

[@itsanaccountbejealou]

I use the innisfree skinny microcara in brown religiously. It’s the best, brown “no-mascara mascara”. Obsessed

[@Eviepossible]

This is so timely!!

[@musingsoflua]

I'm so surprised you didn't test the Essence Lash Without Limits brown mascara?! That's the best one in my humble opinion. The color is a TRUE brown (slightly on the warmer side but doesn't look "warm" per say on the lashes) The formula is best described as silky, so it's easy to manipulate during application as it doesn't clump. It's super easy to work with and when it sets it stays all day without flaking or smudging (I don't know what kind of black magic Essence did with the formula, it's absolutely amazing).

Elf lash n roll!!! Favourite ever for $8 CAD. Its not the lightest brown but with the tacky formula and way it applies it looks soooo natural on me - and I almost always feel weird in black or black brown mascaras.

[@ttebggym]

I have been on a hunt for the perfect waterproof brown for years to no avail. I have even tried brow gel in my lashes. Did not enjoy that.. The best one I've found so far is the rom&nd " han all fix" mascara. They have at least 2 shades of brown and I really like the formula. It has a bit more presence on the lash than a tint like 1999.

[@Katie2986]

Why do they refuse to make it in a waterproof formula?!

[@ttebggym]

@@Katie2986 Yes! It's a mystery to me!

[@jentillas5529]

Dior show waterproof has been my go to for decades and is worth the price in my opinion. They have a wonderful waterproof brown that I use as well.

[@louibeans]

I looked at swatches; I like that it seems to have a greenish tint to it which makes it cool-toned. But it does look really dark as well

[@christinescott5002]

elf Lash XTNDR in brown is really nice. It’s also tubing. Ooh. I just saw that Benefit has a mink brown lash primer that can be worn on its own.

[@Saffron333]

I got the Half Magic Violet Act mascara and, I know it doesn't sound like it would look natural but I swear it actually looks beautiful in a subtle way and I love to throw it on with very light makeup looks. Also, it's a tubing mascara and I love that because traditional formulas never perform on my wattery eyes (I really wanted to like the lash paradise burgandy, for example, but it started wearing off within minutes and running down my face and looked quite frankley bloody and horrifying) For reference, I have salt and pepper hair I dye auburn and I also dye my eyebrows auburn and I think the warmth of the purple and the warmpth I artificially empart on my hair all play very well together and look cohesive and give the vague illusion of natural. I also have green/hazel eyes. Then again, I enjoy emparting warmpth with my makeup and hair dying because my natural hair and lashes are incredibly ashy (level 6na mixed with level 10 gray/white) and the total lack of warmpth is what bothers me. Adding ash tones is just the last thing I want! That heimish mascara sounds very interesting to me!

[@jilliancampbell6742]

I am a mascara fan. Favorite makeup product. Hands down. I’m newer to tubing mascaras. what you’re describing about why you don’t like tubing mascaras has been true for a couple I’ve tried, but NEVER with the caliray mascara. I can cry or have watery eyes and it doesn’t budge. And then warm water soaked on the lashes at night gets it to slide off completely with no smudging. Other tubing ones I’ve tried sort of comes off in tubes but also gets smudgy with for me defeats the purpose. Waiting for the day caliray comes out with a brown mascara!

I finally tried a tubing mascara ( I got a Caliray sample) after hearing everyone raving about that formula. I really didn’t like it, especially the removing process. I thought I didn’t “get it” but you confirmed that I’m not alone! I love my micellar water and coton pad, it’s been working for me for years, why fixing a problem that I don’t have?

[@mediumolive]

I’ve been on the same quest over the last couple years and the westman atelier brown mascara has won by a landslide. Kind of pricey but I’d rather than than 5 tubes of cheap mascara that go unused. It’s a spectacular no fuss natural looking mascara in a true chocolate shade not a brown-black.

[@erinodonnell386]

The “just for redheads” natural mascara in ginger cocoa reminds me of the first one, except the color isn’t quite so ashy. Just a hint warmer. And the effect is similar but the formula sounds different. It’s super super wet and thin. I like the formula a lot but despise the wand. It’s huge and makes a mess. I feel like if it had a smaller wand with a tighter spoolie it would be my perfect mascara. Just for redheads used to have their studio mascara and that one I loved but it’s not quite so crazy natural (still pretty natural but the formula is slightly different) and I think it’s gone now anyway.

[@KB-yl9cr]

vivienne sabo caberet premiere in brown is the closest i can get (color+formula) to no-makeup mascara, and I'm blonder than you, but a smidge less porcelain

[@asquaredmorrisdancer]

The milk kush brow gels are pretty similar to their kush mascara and come in some lighter colors, but they still have fibers so they build up and add volume.
