Experts Call This Brown Mascara A ‘Minimalist Staple' In Spring Beauty
Clean beauty brand Ilia launches a new brown mascara this Spring 2025. For years, a coat or two of black mascara was a non-negotiable final step in makeup regimens worldwide. Besides a handful of specific cases—on blondes, for instance, or those going for an intentionally natural aesthetic—the high contrast drama afforded by jet-black lashes was simply the most-desired look. But Spring 2025 beauty trends are changing a long-held industry status-quo as brands like Sisley, Lisa Eldridge Makeup and the clean beauty brand Ilia have all introduced brown mascaras into their lineups. The brown mascara trend is delighting beauty consumers and industry experts alike, with celebrity makeup artist Carissa Ferreri confirming that she has been reaching for brown mascara daily. There were signs predicting that the pendulum swing in favor of the softer looks of brown mascaras and liners. After Latte Makeup swept TikTok last year, celebrity makeup artist Allen Avendaño gave the deep espresso style a gentle makeover with the shimmery browns and champagne hues of his Iced Latte makeup, notably topped by none other than brown mascara. Ilia Beauty The brown mascara trend has spread to various beauty niches, from the luxury sphere to the clean beauty sector's ingredient-conscious crowd. Back when Ilia's Limitless Lash Mascara, $29, first launched seven years ago, it was widely considered to be clean beauty's best mascara to-date—particularly for those favoring soft, fluttery lash aesthetics. The clean brand's fans were unambiguous in their desire for a clean brown mascara to launch. 'Our customers strongly expressed the need for a brown mascara, especially over the last few years,' writes Sasha Plavsic, the founder of Ilia Beauty, in an e-mail to In the last year alone, she reports receiving 'nearly 1,000 direct requests' for their cult-favorite clean mascara to launch in a brown shade. It was only natural that Ilia acquiesce with the rich brown hue, 'Before Dawn', now available and giving the 'clean girl aesthetic' a new, literal meaning. Below, learn more about the brown mascara trend and why experts call it a must-have makeup essential for Spring. On set, there have always been certain cases when brown mascara was called for as opposed to the traditional black. Makeup artist Diane Caranica explains that on blonde clients with 'softer facial features' or 'light eyebrows and lashes,' black mascara can sometimes look 'too jarring or intense.' This is especially pertinent when the brand, director or client is going for a more natural look, such as at beach shoots. 'Brown mascara doesn't look like there is so much makeup on,' Caranica says on a phone call. 'It just gives a nice, natural flow.' Occasionally, she will opt to apply black mascara at the base of the lash, but use brown mascara at the tips, in order to keep the overall look more natural. Celebrity makeup artist Natasha Denona also recently revealed that she sometimes uses black mascara only on the upper lashes when creating her iconic eye makeup looks, reserving another hue for the bottom. Ilia Beauty Celebrity makeup artist Kirin Bhatty, who works with stars like Lorde, Auli'i Cravalho and Jenny Slate, points out that brown mascara is also ideal for the daytime. She will specifically reach for Ilia's new launch when wants the eyelashes to look more subtle, or when she wants the eyeliner or shadow to stand out as opposed to the lashes. 'I also use it when I want the focal point of my makeup to be another feature, like the lips or cheeks,' Bhatty says. This has often been the case in her recent work with clients. 'The brown mascara trend really leans into the minimalist beauty trend, which we have been seeing rise for the last several seasons.' All of this speaks to an overall interest in playing with bold versus gentle eye makeup, and how this is achieved with the lashes. In the last year, some beauty trends even saw looks that forewent mascara altogether. But the bottom line is that as far as mascara goes, the color itself is only part of a winning equation. Individual preferences for relative 'tackiness,' longevity and viscosity all determine which mascara becomes regularly reached-for in your beauty kit. Those that seek lash volume, as opposed to length, might prefer tubing mascaras, like Sisley Paris Phyto-Noir Mascara, $85, in the shade 'Deep Brown'. But those in favor of soft, fanned-out lashes tend to prefer non-clumping or lengthening mascaras that can hold just the right amount of curl. Ilia Beauty 'I love a lengthening mascara that separates [the lashes],' Bhatty says, naming Ilia's Limitless Lash formulation to the the 'most versatile' in her kit. 'It's a beautiful lengthening formula that has lasting [duration]; the lashes look longer without clumping. It is a natural choice for both the red carpet and days on-set.' Ilia's formula also imparts haircare ingredients like Arginine, Biotin and ethically-sourced beeswax via a beloved applicator (they tested over a hundred wands when formulating). As for their new brown shade, Bhatty calls it 'very flattering' for all complexions in tones. As Plavsic points out, they sought a brown hue that 'was not too warm yet not too cool,' and that would suit any eye color and be suitable for sensitive eyes. With Spring's arrival and beauty's seasonal evolution underway, it remains to be seen whether consumers choose to stick with minimalist beauty's new must-have mascara. After all, the beauty industry is known for its ever-expanding options. Mascara alone has seen newcomers to promote lash growth, like Revitalash Length Define Tubing Mascara, luxury newcomers like Prada Beauty Pradascope Lash Lifting & Lengthening Mascara, as well as those that impart lash-benefitting actives, like Ilia's Limitless Lash Mascara. But while the verdict is still out, Bhatty encourages beauty-lovers to experiment using the myriad brown mascaras and liners that are emerging. She specifically suggests pairing brown mascara with makeup looks featuring 'glowing skin, a statement lip, a bright bold cheek [or] a brown winged liner—the list goes on and on,' she says. The good news is that whether you are personally a fan of volumizing or lengthening mascaras, or consider yourself to be a luxury-lover or a clean beauty purist, you now have plenty of options to choose from with even more to come.

How to really make your eyelashes stand out, according to celebrity make-up artists Lucy Bridge and Carolina Pizarro, with help from Chanel, Hourglass, La Mer, Sisley and Augustinus Bader products
Lashes are making a splash. On spring/summer 2025 runways, they caught the eye as they were transformed into attention-grabbing miniature sculptures. At Harris Reed, clumpy, exaggerated lashes channelled porcelain doll aesthetics, turning 'messy' into something mesmerising. The creative genius of make-up artist Lucy Bridge delivered a burst of surrealism at Dries Van Noten, with gravity-defying lashes in electric pinks and yellows. Meanwhile, Ganni's debut at Paris Fashion Week featured fluttery, ethereal lashes that practically floated off models' faces. Sisley Phyto-Noir Mascara. Photo: Handout Off the runway, mastering the fluttery lash look without lurching into chaos comes down to understanding your arsenal. Mascaras, like the lashes they transform, aren't created equal. Each formula offers its own kind of magic, and choosing the right one can mean the difference between runway-level drama and a clumpy, spider-lash misstep. Advertisement For those drawn to long, wispy elegance, lengthening mascaras are the ultimate enablers. 'They are packed with fibres, often nylon or rayon, and can latch onto lashes and stretch them to incredible proportions, creating an almost celestial effect,' says Los Angeles-based celebrity make-up artist Carolina Pizarro . Think extensions minus the glue. For bulking up volume, however, you need thick, high-impact formulas. 'Volumising mascaras can beef up lash lines with a more dramatic intensity, turning even the shortest lashes into a bold frame for the eyes,' Pizarro adds. Noir Allure by Chanel sits comfortably at the top of this category, balancing bold volume with a clump-free finish that feels luxurious and easy to apply. Chanel Noir Allure Mascara. Photo: Handout The quiet star of the lash revolution is tubing mascara: a technical marvel that coats each lash in polymer tubes for a polished yet natural-seeming look. Smudging, flaking and drooping are banished, leaving lashes fanned and flawless all day. Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara is a strong player, delivering the kind of salon-worthy finish that typically requires an appointment (and a good dose of patience). Best of all, removal is effortless as the product melts away with warm water – no need for tugging or tantrums. But the artistry doesn't stop at the formula. Even the most luxurious mascara is only as good as its application. Make-up artist Lisa Moore says a lash curler is non-negotiable, coaxing lashes into the perfect curve before a wand even enters the scene. 'The key here is precision. Starting at the roots, a quick squeeze locks in the curl,' she explains. From there, a mascara wand swept upwards in a zigzag motion ensures each lash is coated from base to tip while maintaining lift and separation. For extra drama, Moore recommends adding a second coat to the outer corners, creating a cat-eye effect that perfectly elongates and fans out lashes. Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara. Photo: Handout Nailing the fluttery lash requires walking a line between full, fabulous volume and the dreaded clump fest. For starters, that frantic pumping of the mascara wand needs to be retired. Not only does it invite air into the tube, drying out the formula, but it also turns a favourite mascara into a flaky nightmare. 'A gentle twist of the wand is all it takes to gather just the right amount of product. And when clumps inevitably appear, a clean spoolie brush is all you need to separate your lashes with more precision,' Pizarro says. Lower lashes, often an afterthought, deserve their moment, too. A light touch is key here, using the tip of the mascara wand to delicately coat them without overloading. For those serious about their lash game, a mascara specifically designed for lower lashes can make the difference, not to mention save under-eye concealer from unnecessary sabotage. 'Being patient is a must here. Allowing each coat to dry slightly before applying the next is a safe way to keep 'fluttery' from turning into 'sticky spider web' territory,' Pizarro suggests.

The £12 lip liner that gives you instantly fuller lips
As you'd probably expect, I follow a lot of beauty accounts across social media. There was a moment recently when I noticed more and more videos of women applying a purple stain around their lip line and then peeling it away in a dramatic fashion. It looked completely bizarre. The product in question, a lip-liner stain by Sacheu Beauty, left a tint designed to make the lips look fuller. It turns out it was an instant hit in Boots when it launched last December. The average Boots customer is 45 years old, so it probably wasn't just the TikTok demographic buying it up – but their mums too. I tried the Sacheu Beauty Lip Liner Stay-n in shade P-inked (£12, Boots) for myself, and it does work – if you have the extra few minutes it takes for the stain to 'set'. Sacheu Beauty Lip Liner Stay-n in shade P-inked, £12, Boots It colours the lip line a slightly deeper shade of pink, which appears really natural. The purple stain looks terrifying at first glance, but it's honestly hard to mess up: trace just outside your lip line with the applicator, leave it to dry for 10 to 20 minutes, then peel off. Lip liners in general are having a big moment. If they make you think of the 1990s supermodel trend of a dark lip liner worn with lighter lips, that's exactly the look Gen Z are coveting. On Pinterest, searches for '90s lip' were up 760 per cent on the previous year by summer 2024. And according to the market-information company Circana, in the first half of 2024, 28 per cent more lip liners were sold in Europe compared to the year before. Whether you are after a Cindy Crawford -style lip-liner look or not, used correctly, they can be game-changers for the midlife make-up bag. They can make your lips appear both fuller and more symmetrical in a matter of seconds. In a recent interview with Allure magazine, Brooke Shields shared her lip-liner routine. 'Now that I'm older, I have to go to the outside of my lip because my lips have gotten thinner,' she explained. 'I try to go outside of the bottom without looking too forced, and then I colour it in just a little bit.' Shields favours The Lip Pencil by Jones Road in Rose Nude (£24, Liberty), with a dollop of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (£19, Sephora) on top to 'plump them up a little bit'. The make-up artist Zoë Taylor agrees with this technique. 'I think the most modern way to wear lip liner is to slightly overdraw your lips to make them appear fuller,' she says. 'I like to overdraw the cupid's bow to get rid of any sharp lines, which helps to soften the look of the lips and give the appearance of them being more pillowy.' She adds: 'For a natural lip I would always choose a shade deeper than the actual lip colour.' Taylor favours the Phyto-Lèvres Perfect pencil by Sisley in Beige Naturel and Chocolat, two universally flattering shades (£50 each, Sisley Paris). For any other colours – reds, for instance – match your liner to the lip shade. The new Sisley Phyto-Rouge Velvet Lipsticks (£48, Sisley Paris) work beautifully with liner. One of the best high-street lip-liner ranges is Color Riche by L'Oréal Paris, whose pencils come in at a reasonable £6.99 (Boots). I think the brand's reds are particularly good. And if you're hankering after a 90s effect, try Cool Spice by Mac (£20, Mac Cosmetics), a reworking of the decade's most iconic lip-liner shade, Spice. I love the warm browny shade of Spice, but in my opinion, Cool Spice is more wearable. Three more products to boost your lips If liner isn't your thing, try a lip-plumping balm such as the Dior Addict Lip Glow in the shade Icy Blue. Don't worry, it won't turn your lips a cool bluish tone – it simply adapts to your natural pH level when applied to bring out a lovely rosy hue. This is the lip balm I always keep in my handbag. Dior's Addict Lip Glow in the shade Icy Blue, £33, Dior Part liner, part lipstick, The Peptide Lip Shape is a great option if you like just a little flush of matte colour. Don't expect hours of lasting power, though: this is designed to add a hint of colour and fullness for those days when you don't want a full lipstick 'look'. The shade Press is a pretty mauve. The Peptide Lip Shape, £24, Rhode Similar to the above, but with stronger colours and slightly more staying power, the Blur Liners by British brand Refy are brilliant. They add a smudgy effect on the lip line and the lips; the shade Berry is a great alternative to a bold red.
