I think it would be ok ... in the 70s or 80s. Why, m'love, have you just bought one?

WideWebWitch · 09/02/2008 12:04

no

hercules1 · 09/02/2008 12:05

No, never.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 09/02/2008 12:07

Perhaps navy blue, but not any lighter
And never for daytime.

hercules1 · 09/02/2008 12:08

Mind you I did see someone a few weeks ago wearing it and I thought it looked good on them. Can't remember hair colour or anything though.

DualCylinderCod · 09/02/2008 12:15

I used to wear it in my teens but that was 20 years ago. I saw someone from school the other day and she was still wearing it

I love it! Go for it alfies, build your self up to the full deed with just a dab on the end of already mascaraed up lashes and you'll soon notice people are utterly bewitched with your eyes but can't work out why. When you feel ready, you can unleash it on the population fully and go all out blue, you'll love it!
There are varying shades of blue out there, which one are you thinking of going for? Navy? Teal? Electric blue? Mauve is good too...
Or, try a bit of blue liquid eyeliner atop your lashes and see how that works for you?

Oh I got a turquoise liquid liner a couple of months ago, worked up the kahunas to wear it on a night out last weekend, it looks fantastic ! It's only a cheapo Tesco one but it is brill

electra · 09/02/2008 15:35

Yes, why not?

pukkapatch · 09/02/2008 15:56

didnt that go out in the 80's?

alfiesbabe · 09/02/2008 16:27

No I havent bought one.... but have to confess to being tempted!! Not so sure now as after these posts I'm worried I'll look like an 80s throwback!

blue mascara is ultimate style, i wear YSL, its subtle and yet if one really looks so different.

i am olive skinned, highlights not blonde /fair .
i love it.

hoxtonchick · 12/02/2008 12:12

i had my eye makeup done at a laura mercier counter last week & she put navy eyeliner on me . i have pale skin & brown eyes so would never have thought of it myself. it actually looked surprisingly good (nice enough for me to buy it anyway ). oh, & i often wear purple mascara....

Navy - yes. NOT that horrid electric blue that was around in the 80s though.
