ASK A BEAUTY EDITOR!

Q: I'm really pale and naturally blond. Consequently, my eyelashes

are almost white. The problem is, unless I'm also wearing darker shadow and liner, mascara looks sort of unnatural on me. Is there any lighter mascara that I could wear on days when I have on less makeup?

A: A few options for you: Paul & Joe is coming out with a double-ended mascara—one side is a comb; the other a traditional brush—and there’s a lovely shade called “D’Or”, which is a bronze-gold-taupe (it’ll be sold on Beauty Habit). Jane Iredale has Longest Lash Mascara in Dark Blonde. I also love Almay’s Intense i-Color Mascara in Brown Topaz. And, coming in August, YSL will have a grey mascara that is amazing. Let us know if these are too dark for you—we’ll keep looking!
