I wonder if brown mascara would look better if it runs? I'm only suggesting that because I recently purchased a BROWN Tinted Primer by Benefit called "They're Real," although I use it like it's mascara. It only lightly smudged after an morning spent crying through a funeral (but it still looked GOOD

What's the best mascara for fake facial hair?
Unless you’ve got coal black head hair or wig, various brown mascaras are the best for fluffing and drawing facial hair, ideally dark browns for stage work but can still be excessive on blondes or gingers.

Recommendations for Mascara?
I was really into They’re Real by Benefit until the pandemic. Once I spent so long at home with no makeup, it seemed asinine to spend $30 on a tube of mascara. The gold tube is the best.

What's a good mascara for a contact lens wearer?
I use a brown Tinted Primer by Benefit called "They're Real," but use it like it's mascara. The price is more than I wanted to spend ($29 USD), but dang... it was worth it.

Wasserfeste Mascara, die *wirklich* wischfest ist?
Ich benutze seit knapp 10 Jahren They‘re Real von Benefit und hatte noch nie das Problem, dass der Mascara bröckelt oder sich absetzt, obwohl es sich nicht um einen wasserfesten Mascara handelt. Vor einigen Tagen gab es bei Notino sogar ein Angebot. Knapp 30 Euro finde ich persönlich zu teuer.
