We are big fans of colorful makeup. Yes, we love a pigmented lip, a bold eyeshadow and a rosy blush, but we mean in a less traditional sense too. Colorful eyeliners? Definitely cool. Colorful mascaras, however, have seriously stolen the show more recently! They’re unexpected pops that can make your gaze utterly mesmerizing!
Olivia Wilde is proof of this. The actress and director always looks phenomenal, but one look we still have on our mind is her makeup from the 2020 Film Independent Spirit Awards — where she won Best First Feature for her hit Booksmart. Our favorite part? The mascara she wore is just $8 right now!

Makeup artist Melanie Inglessis, who’s been doing the star’s makeup for over a decade now, was behind Wilde’s glam at the awards show. Luckily for Us, she shared details and noted that the “electric blue” mascara was key to the eye-opening look. “This is probably one of my favorite make up I have done lately on O,” she wrote on Instagram.
As you can tell by the name, this is a volume-building mascara — claiming to deliver up to five times fuller and thicker lashes. It’s designed to separate and coat every single lash for a clump-free, smudge-resistant finish. We really love that it adds panthenol and ceramide-R as well to help protect and condition. One study presented in the British Journal of Dermatology found that panthenol may help mitigate the effects of thinning hair!

The blue shade will look gorgeous paired with all eye colors, but if it’s not your favorite or you’re thinking you want more colors, L’Oreal’s got you! You could go for another fun shade, like a violet purple, a deep green or a burgundy, or you can keep it classic with multiple shades of black or a soft brown.
Perhaps one shade on your top lashes and another on the bottom? One shade on the inner lashes, another on the outer? Have fun with it!
