Burgundy Mascara Is The Trend To Know For Eyes That Pop
Forget classic black mascara. Burgundy lashes are the autumn beauty trend taking over, for a softer, chic lash shade. Here’s why you should consider swapping your usual black for berry, and why brown lashes deserve a place in your makeup bag, too…
If there’s one beauty trend the it-girls are embracing this season, it’s burgundy lashes. From berry-toned beauty looks to rich, wine-inspired hues, burgundy is having a major moment, and it’s officially giving classic black mascara a run for its money.
Consider it the latest way to eyemaxx, adding definition, depth, and colour without committing to a full eyeshadow look.

Don’t worry if you’re not quite brave enough to experiment with berry eyeshadow and matching liner. Coloured mascara is the easiest way to dip your toe into the trend, and the beauty of burgundy is that it offers definition without the intensity of traditional black mascara. While black creates a bold, high-contrast finish, berry tones feel softer and more diffused, making this trend ideal for everyday wear. Think understated colour rather than a statement eye, this is the kind of detail that makes people look twice without immediately knowing why.
The burgundy lash
And honestly, this really does work on all eye shades. Its red undertones can help bring out the natural warmth in brown eyes, make green eyes appear more vibrant and create a beautiful contrast against blue eyes. For this trend, I’m wearing one of my favourite push-up mascara formulations, Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk in the shade Dream Pop. This trend is proof that sometimes the smallest switch in your makeup look can make the biggest difference.

The alternative
Not ready for burgundy? Brown lashes are your next beauty switch-up:
If burgundy lashes feel a little too adventurous, consider brown mascara your gateway into autumnal on-trend lashes. Softer than black but still defining, brown mascara gives lashes a more natural finish that feels effortless and natural. I’d team fluttery brown lashes with softly sculpted cheeks, cinnamon-toned eyeshadow, peachy blush and a warm nude lip.
Give autumnal-toned lashes a try, and you might just find yourself rethinking your relationship with black mascara altogether.
