Mascara to match hair color?

:LOL I don't think they make a mascara that is my hair color. I am a very pale natural blonde. Black doesn't work for me either, too dark for me, I feel like Tammi Fae. So I wear brown only on the top lashes, and not every day. I'm not really a make-up sort of gal. Dressing up is mascara and chap stick for me. I am so pale I feel like a clown if I wear anything more. And I am a dork when it comes to wearing it. I smudge and smear :

My hair is naturally dark brown, but i color it red. i love being a red head, it suits me, and my coloring well. i am very fair with freckles and hazely brown eyes. I always wear black mascara, MAC cosmetics makes a great one, and i also use navy blue, which helps when i am tired. it makes the white of my eyes whiter and the brown "pop". G*d, i do spend alot of time thinking about this, now dont i! :

I could see where black might be a bit dramatic if you are super fair with light hair and pale lashes and brows, then i would probably go with the brown. but a good shiny black might work if you apply a thin coat and not gop it on, kwim?

i was just online at MAC looking at mascaras and lipglosses. its sick i tell ya, sick!

lol ok ladies!! Speaking from a Makeup Artist point of view you are suppose to wear mascara that fits your skin tone meaning if you are pale redhead or blond you would normally go with brown. If you are darker you can go with the black brown. But if you are darker toned then you go with black. But then there are the colored mascara's that are to fun to pass up. I say wear what your comfortable in. Not many light skinned blondes or redheads wear blue or purple mascara all the time. Do what suits you best
