When I saw these photos, colored mascaras finally made sense to me! Maria Menounos in particular looks so fab with those vibrant lashes. I recently wrote about the blue trend sweeping Hollywood’s faces and at the time I couldn’t imagine ever wanting to wear anything other than black mascara on my lashes, but these photos have convinced me that one can wear blue, or plum, or even touches of burgundy (as a second coat on top of black), without looking like they’re heading to the circus. I especially like this look for summer to brighten-up my tan-less face! What do you think about vibrantly-colored mascaras? Some finds below! 
Purchasing information after the jump!
I was just about to click on the BadGal plum when I saw this! Definitely going it to get it now.
I have become seriously addicted to youtube make-up tutorials (sometimes because they’re good and give me ideas, and sometimes because they’re bad and great entertainment value) and one showcased a look with some purples and golds which would have been beyond fabulous with purple mascara. The blues are a bit much for me, though.
I love the idea of bright blue mascara. I have never tried it, but these photos make me want to! This is definitely not something I would wear on a frequent basis, but I can’t deny that every once in a while it would look fabulous.

coincidentally, i have been obsessed with blue mascara. unfortunately, i’m not looking for vibrant, “popping” color, just a nice subtle touch of color for the office. i like it for going out but not for work and imo it could easily have that “tart-y” look that would not (necessarily) be your intention!
