There's no denying it, brown is the new back and here to stay. We've seen it everywhere from our favourite brown pieces we wear to what we listen to. Now, unsurprisingly mascara is the next beauty item to go brunette. If you need any more convincing, pay a visit to TikTok, where the #brownmascara hashtag has racked up over 3.1 billion views.
Like with a brown liner, the appeal is that your mascara doesn't show up as dramatically as your standard black. It also ers on the side of sophistication. It's great for people with lighter features and blue eyes as it contrasts well against paler skin. With darker brown eyes, the effect is more natural, perfect for an every day look.
There are different ways to get into this look. You could go for a mascara like Charlotte Tilburry's 'Dreampop' which shows up as a lighter brown shade for some contrast if your lashes are really light or dark. You could also go the other way and opt for a mascara like Dior's 'Diorshow' which is almost black, for a softer option to black. If your eyes are green, Tiktok has spoken and let us know we should be using burgundy mascara like YSL's 'Volume Effect'. Whichever approach you're going for, check out these options below for the lashes of your umber dreams!

Now, this is exciting.
