Black mascara is a classic choice, but it can seem a little harsh on people with lighter hair—especially for your day-to-day look at work or running errands. That's where brown mascara can really shine. Brown mascara provides an equally defined, beautiful finish for a more natural appearance, and it looks great with all hair and eye colors. Whether you're seeking to lengthen, volumize, or curl your lashes for everyday wear or a special event, there's a brown mascara for you. 

The best brown mascaras are available at all price points to suit your budget, lifestyle, and lash look preferences. Below, we’ve collected a few of our favs.
