How To Spice Up Your Eye Makeup With Burgundy Mascara

Writer Michael Hansen

Burgundy is a fantastic color to experiment with. It's slightly more playful than a chocolate brown, but can be applied in a similar way, per Byrdie. Burgundy tones, which are a mix of red and brown with a dash of purple — not to be confused with maroon, which leaves out the purple part, per Color Psychology – have long been a staple in eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks, as burgundy adds a layer of depth and warmth to the wearer. 

Try using burgundy mascara with complementary eyeshadow colors for a monochromatic impact. No matter if your eyeshadow is shimmering, matte, or a combination of the two, burgundy will enhance both the shades of your skin tone, as well as the color of your eyes. Burgundy mascara can also be worn with softer, warm pinkish shades to emphasize its red tones. And, if you're feeling super adventurous, you can also wear the mascara on your brows for a striking new look.
