This is a relatively new Mascara from THREE. THREE has unique color mascaras, for example smoky gold (“01 Eye witness”), brick orange (“First impression eye”) and dark violet (“03 Self expression eye”).
It might be difficult to find these exquisite colors from the other cosmetics brands, so please try one from THREE if you are looking for a mascara neither black nor brown. They won’t make your eyes flashy but elegant. These mascaras would be perfect when you feel like trying makeup different from always.

Flowfushi has been famous especially for its eye makeup items, and I have been using its brown mascara for years.
If you are looking for brown mascara, I would like you to try this. The color of the mascara is beautiful, and this brighter brown matches the brown eyeshadows on eyelids. Also, this brown mascara makes eyes tender while black mascaras accentuate eyes. There are many color options other than brown. I’m sure you can find your favorite one from the MOTE MASCARA COLOR series.
What I like most about them is that they are water-proof but can be removed tepid with water.
*I recommend that you check Uzu’s official website before purchasing one on an e-commerce site asince the package is different per color.

D-UP is also focusing on eye makeup products. Its eyelash glow is one of the top-selling items, but mascaras are also acknowledged.
This mascara has a characteristic that extends the eye lashes. As shown in the picture below, the hair of mascara is very tiny, and it entwines the eyelashes very well. I know everyone hates mascara forming lumps, but this mascara won’t make it happen thanks to the sophisticated hair.
<Other options *The leftmost (red) one is “D-UP “Perfect Extension Mascara”>

dejavu has high-quality mascaras because it is also a cosmetics brand which produces great items for eye makeup. dejave’s Lash Up mascara accentuates your eyes and adds volume to your eyelashes. Since the hair of this mascara is tiny, this is good for putting on mascaras on lower eyelashes, too.
In addition, this can be removed with hot water.

I want everyone to know Heroine Make because it is one of my favorite cosmetics brands. Heroine Make is an eye makeup product brand, and what I value most is that its cosmetic items don’t get smudged easily. They are quite strong against water, sebum, tears and sweat.
This mascara is a water-proof mascara while it is good for keeping curls for hours. If you are looking for a water-proof mascara, try this one! I wear Heroine Make’s mascara even when I go to the beach.

Opera is famous for its tint lipsticks, which has been surprisingly on trend, but its mascara is also gathering attention. There are around 7,500 product reviews, and it has been awarded many times by one of the biggest cosmetic product reviewing sites, @cosme.
This mascara is popular because it catches thin and tiny eyelashes easily, and it won’t form lumps. Also, this is relatively cheap though the product is quite sophisticated. OPERA’s mascara is recommended for those who like the mascara of which volume is modest as it doesn’t add that much volume like the other strong mascaras.

Heroine Make again! This mascara primer is to keep the curl for long hours. The color, gray blue, might be surprising, but it doesn’t matter as you put on mascara after this primer.
Since the hair of the brush is quite thin, it grabs eyelashes, even tiny eyelashes, easily. Also, the brush is small, you can put the primer from the roots of your eyelashes.

ettusais’s mascara primer is good for keeping curl for hours though it also has effect for adding volume, extending eyelashes and making eyelashes thick.
What I like most about this is that the color of this primer is black, which naturally adds volume to eyelashes. Since the head of the primer is like a comb, you can easily separate and fix eyelashes. There are many product reviews on one of the biggest product reviewing sites in Japan, @cosme, which say the curl doesn’t go down thanks to this mascara primer.

KATE’s mascara primer is for keeping volume and extending eyelashes. This is especially good for adding volume since black fibers are contained in this mascara primer though the color of this primer is clear.
Also, the succeeding mascaras, which are normally hard to remove such as water-proof mascaras, will be removed easily by putting this mascara primer first though this itself is a water-proof.
