Q. I'm confused about my mascara options. What's up with the different shades, and how do I know which will look best on me?

A. The purpose of mascara is to emphasize the lashes and the lashline, which gives an impression of bigger eyes. Even if your makeup style is on the light side, it's a good idea to make your eyes more present, particularly if you are very fair. If you want to be discreet, choose brown; if you want more intensity, select black; and if your taste fluctuates with the moods of fashion, then decorate your lashes with a color. For photographs, film or stage, it is very common to add false eyelashes for a stronger effect.
