About two years ago–long before the general population was wearing anything but black–I blogged about some of my favorite colored mascaras. Blue, purple or bronze: the similarity between all of the shades I mentioned in that post was that they were each almost-black, with only very subtle color.
“No fun!” screams MAC, and in the MAC Stylishly Yours collection MAC launched a new shade of Zoom Lash named “New Hue”, described as a blackened burgundy. To this beauty-bloggers eyes, New Hue is really a super-bright plum shade. It’s a great way to inject a little color into your makeup look, while making lashes look more voluminous.
Wouldn’t you just love to see a huge lineup of vibrant color-rich mascara shades from MAC?

Does this mascara actually show on the lashes? Because I’ve tried some plum lashes that were just to subtle for my taste. I love colourful mascara, it’s a great way to spice up a look.
Honestly, it depends on your coloring and the lighting situation. Here in dreary Seattle, the plum shade doesn’t pop quite as much, but in a bright room it really stands out. I’m a brunette, and can definitely see the color on my lashes, but I’m sure blondes and redheads would get more color payoff. Thanks for the question, Julia!
