It takes some skill to apply a coloured mascara, so when the latest trend in burgundy red lashes turns up, we had to work out why you should break every rule and put red around the eyes.
It’s simple really: burgundy, claret or purple lashes make blue eyes pop. The contrast in colour opposites makes you see the eye colour more clearly. Burgundy is a popular mascara colour as a limited edition, but we’ve hunted down the our favourite purple wine shades available everyday.
