"I&amp;#x27;ve often heard makeup artists mention that using purple/plum mascara makes green eyes pop more, but I&amp;#x27;ve never tried the stuff--until now!When I got a sample of Korres Colour Abyssinia Oil Mascara in Plum (No. 04) the other day, I couldn&amp;#x27;t wait to try some on. I absolutely love the smooth, non-clumpy texture, and it&amp;#x27;s cool how the color looks softer and more natural for daytime than my default black-black mascara. However, I can&amp;#x27;t say I see any real effect on my eye color. Can you? Here&amp;#x27;s a pic of me with the Korres mascara on. If anything, the plum seems to make them look more hazel than green. And here&amp;#x27;s a shot I&amp;#x27;m re-using from a recent blog post, where I am wearing my regular black. Granted, the lighting is slightly different in these two shots, which could make this comparison less than scientific. Here&amp;#x27;s a zoomed-in shot of the plum mascara so you can get a better idea of what it looks like. I feel like it might even give my eyes an overall pink cast! My conclusion is that I don&amp;#x27;t think purple hues show up enough on lashes to make a big difference when it comes to enhancing eye color. I think using a plum liner or purplish shadow has a much more dramatic effect (maybe next I&amp;#x27;ll post pics of that look for you to weigh in on). In the meantime, I&amp;#x27;m glad I also have this Korres mascara in black! What do you guys think? Does the purple mascara intensify my eye color at all? Do you like the purple&amp;#x27;s softer effect or think black is the way to go? How many of you always wear black-black mascara?
