Kiko Cosmetics’ Smart Colour Mascara in Navy Blue

This is the color of blue mascara that’s most often easily available: dark blue that definitely looks blue.

Sally Hansen’s Coral Reef (239)

It almost looks like a neon color, it’s so bright and saturated. It’s not quite vivid enough for that…but it’s quite close. This has the standard Xtreme Wear formula: it applies smoothly and self-levels nicely, and is fairly sturdy even without a top coat.

NYX Cosmetics’ Suede Matte Lipliner collection

Notoriously Morbid’s Effect of Atrocity
