A number of things come to mind when you think of Bordeaux. A beautiful destination in France? Yes. A dry, medium-bodied red wine? Check. A game-changing mascara? Well . . . not so much. But if you’re looking to switch up your look this season, you may want to think again—because a swipe of rich burgundy pigment on the lashes is turning into winter’s biggest trend.
With the holidays fast approaching and a full schedule of after-work parties and events on the horizon, a day-to-night beauty look that makes life simpler is key. “If you don’t have a lot of time and want to give the illusion that you put effort into your face, try a colored mascara,” says makeup artist Jenna Menard, who recommends applying three or more coats to really bring the shade to life, and wearing it with a hint of black eyeliner. Unlike a neon bright cobalt or primary yellow shade, she adds, “Burgundy mascara is so subtle—it’s a great alternative for softening your overall look.”
The idea of applying mascara in a color other than black may initially be intimidating, but a recent test-drive around the Vogue offices confirmed that it’s virtually foolproof and only slightly noticeable (in the best way possible) when you blink. From Clinique’s Chubby Lash in Portly Plum to YSL’s Volume Effet Faux Cils Shocking Mascara in low-key Black Burgundy, here are five shades worth dipping into this season.
