I've been enjoying the Fall beauty trends, but I also like to do my own thing where cosmetics are concerned. Regardless of it is currently being toasted as the "it" look, I'm a huge fan of mascara in shades other than black. Fear not, today's options are NOT the electric blues of 1984! The modern hue is an almost-black that will leave people thinking your eyes look special, but wondering why.
