Whether you’re a full face or less is best kind of makeup lover, we bet you have a mascara or two lurking in your makeup bag. Mascara is the finishing-touch product which can magically transform a look in seconds – maybe that’s why the applicator is called a wand.

Maybe you’re looking to create a natural look to go with your neutral-toned eyeshadow. Perhaps you really want to make your blue eyes pop. Whatever your motivation, switching to brown mascara is a super friendly way to mix up your makeup routine. If you need to head back to basics, read our tips on how to apply mascara like a pro here or if you’re ready to join this mascara revolution, read on to discover our picks of the best brown mascaras you can buy right now.
