MUA Academy Colored Mascara Swatches
MUA Academy Colored Mascaras (top to bottom) Shade 2, Shade 3, Shade 6, Shade 7
MUA Academy Colored Mascara is a budget friendly mascara that comes in a wide variety of colours. I love coloured mascaras but often have a difficult time getting them to work on my dark lashes. These mascaras do require some work to get an intense effect, if you are willing to spend the time to make them shop up the end effect is fantastic. I find the wand on this mascara contributes to the difficulties in application and I definitely think there is room for improvement in that particular aspect. The formula is fiber-based which is designed to makes lashes look extra long & thick but does have a tendency to look clumpy (and can also irritate sensitive eyes) The only shade that comes available in a waterproof formula is black. Overall I think if you are interested in trying coloured mascara but don’t want to dish out the big bucks for one or are willing to spend a little while to ensure colour shows up on the lashes then these would be a fantastic option for you.
MUA Academy Colored Mascara Swatches Shade 2.Top: 2 Coats applied in a zig-zag motion. Bottom: product applied using tip of the wand.
Shade 2 is a mint green shade, personally my least favourite out of the range as I found it was trickier to apply and had the least amount of colour pay off.
MUA Academy Coloured Mascara Swatches Shade 3.Top: 2 Coats applied in a zig-zag motion. Bottom: product applied using tip of the wand.
Shade 3 is a bright turquoise blue shade and one of my favourites out of the range. The shade makes eyes appear whiter and once colour is built up with the tip of the wand the shade appears super intense and vivid on the lashes.
MUA Academy Coloured Mascara Swatches Shade 6.Top: 2 Coats applied in a zig-zag motion. Bottom: product applied using tip of the wand.
Shade 6 is an electric purple shade and another favourite of mine. Purple really helps to bring out any green in the eyes so would look amazing on people with green or hazel eyes. Once applied with the tip of the wand the colour looks super vivid.
MUA Academy Coloured Mascara Swatches Shade 7. Top: 2 Coats applied in a zig-zag motion. Bottom: product applied using tip of the wand.
Shade 3 is a bright pink shade with just the right amount of pink not too make your eyes look red or to wash out your complexion. This shade would look amazing on all skin-tones (especially darker skin) and is (another) one of my favourites. It does require quite a bit of work like the other shades but the end result looks super bold.
