Sally Foran: Here's why you should make the switch to brown mascara

Some of Sally Foran's brown-mascara buys.

Brown mascara may be trending in 2025, but for me, it’s been a staple for years. With my fair colouring, I’ve always found that brown offers a softer, more natural-looking definition compared to black, which can feel harsh, especially during the day.

Also, I’ve noticed that black mascara can accentuate lines and look overly stark, while brown creates a more flattering, youthful effect.
