My makeup look, whether consciously or unconsciously done, always seems to be influenced by my mood. When I’m feeling happy, I’ll gravitate towards brighter colors. If I’m feeling upset or mad, you can bet I’ll be breaking out those darker, winter-like shades to feed my inner vampire.

Regardless of the reason, makeup can be a great tool for amplifying your current mood, or for helping you pull yourself out of a bad one. Here are six mascaras to match a wide range of potential moods that you might experience during your day.

Angelic

For those days when you’re feeling like an ethereal goddess, lengthening mascaras are the way to go. Perfectly enhance your cherub-like eyes with a light coat of mascara, like the Essence Lash Princess Mascara.

One light layer of this product is all you ever need. This mascara is pigmented to give your lashes some light definition, but also gives mega length that will have your lashes looking as light as a feather and reaching towards the heavens.

Flirty

The best way to enhance your eyes while going for a flirty look is to apply a moderately volumizing and lengthening mascara all across the lashes, focusing on the ends to give your eyes a more elongated, soft shape. Coat both the top and bottom lashes, as this will make your eyes appear brighter and more open.

As far as products go, the Laura Geller Glamlash Dramatic Volumizing Mascara (total hidden and underrated product, btw) works the best for creating fun, flirty lashes!

Uninspired

We can feel like we’re in a funk sometimes, but the best way to say goodbye to your blues is to spice up your routine with something new! Whenever you find yourself in a complete makeup rut, try out a colorful mascara. These days, the color options are pretty much endless.
