BROWN is the new BLACK

Date: 22 Dec, 2021

Our Black Friday Sale flew by so quickly, I can’t believe I’m writing a blog on our next treat we have prepared for you.  

Having had many meaningful and deep conversations with you about what it means to be a lady in her 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s and 90’s striving to be the best version of yourself and still wanting to look your best, I couldn’t wait for you to hear the news.  

Striving to be the best version of yourself, the inner work, is always harder, just because we all (almost) are well-aware of it and still can’t find will that’s strong enough to pursue everything we want or have always wanted to achieve personally.  

Perhaps for some it’s not the case of willpower. I know many ladies that have unfortunately suffered from different diseases, accidents, losses, strokes of their own or their loved ones.

It’s never easy and usually willpower isn’t the decisive factor in these cases. I pray for all of you my fellow ladies, you are stronger than you think and your power grows each day. I mean it with all my heart and soul. 

At times, it’s something only we ourselves know and not being able to do it can significantly decrease the level of our confidence and the way we view ourselves as well as the world in general.

Growing older, as we all have got to understand ourselves, also invites changes that can be seen from the outside. Grey hair, fine lines, wrinkles, varicose veins, saggy skin, thinning hair, pigmentation, you name it, I probably have it all.  

The point I’m trying to make is that it becomes more and more challenging to look your best as the definition of “your best” can change nearly every day.  

Actually, just recently we got a message from a customer saying her eyelashes fell out almost overnight and since then they were never the same. They grew back spikey, fell out more frequently and broke when removing mascara.  

So many of you have said that black mascara is just too harsh for your current complexion and no one wants to look like a drag queen at 56, besides the actual drag queen perhaps.

Ask and it is given, ladies! 

Please welcome, our VolumeCare+ mascara in BROWN!

It will give you the classy and expressive look without being too harsh of a statement.  

More suitable for mature ladies that we are, not to forget our dear fair-skinned as well as fair, red and silver-haired ma’ams. 

Thank you for being so patient with us as we really wanted to make it P-E-R-F-E-C-T! And it is! 

I love using brown mascara as it also looks more natural, which is something I tend to strive for recently. My husband usually thinks I have no makeup on as it perfectly blends in with my complexion.  

At times I also like to switch it up, so I make sure I have both of the VolumeCare+ mascaras in my toiletry bag. Perhaps for a special event, when a special feeling occurs or wearing particular clothes entails a black one instead of the usual brown and I’m always prepared!  

Plus, having more options in regards of makeup always helps me look my best according to the way I feel that particular day. Variety brings me peace and balance. 

All in all, it’s such a wonderful celebration for all of the Rumi Cosmetiques team and our dearest of customers, it’s something we all have been longing for and it’s finally here… like a Christmas miracle… 

Order yours, sit back and relax! I hope you have a lovely and warm rest of the day!  

Festive greetings,

Is your brown proper brown because like the previous comments I’m fair and black looks terrible on me, the only browns I can find are very dark and they might as well be black because it’s still too dark. Is it possible to send a sample so I know it’s the right colour for me

So pleased you now have brown, was disappointed as black too harsh for me.
Now I can order some for me and the serum.
My daughter is happy as she gets the black.

I love the black mascara )so I may try the dark brown one next)
it’s easy to apply and I cannot believe that it never smudges! The eyebrow pencil with highlighter is also gorgeous.
Will you be producing eye liners soon? (I really hope so)

It’s great that you have added a brown mascara to your collection. I bought the black version with trepidation that it would irritate my eyes as I have experienced with other brands, even those said to be hypoallergenic. I’ve had no problem wearing your brand all day – the only problem was removing it sufficiently. This was solved by using micellar water. I look forward to buying the brown shade when my black has finished as brown would always be my preferred shade.

I am trying to buy the brown mascara but only have a picture to choose from and no confirmation of the colour I am buying so no purchase yet!

The brown mascara is a great idea, I used to wear brown/black several years ago then changed to black which I am still happy with although it is nice to know there is now an alternative.

Brilliant news. I do prefer a brown mascara but am really happy with my current Rumi mascara. It covers so well and washes off at the end of the day. Brown is kinder to an older complexion though. Well done 👍

Will definitely try the new brown mascara, at 71 I’m lucky to still have dark brown hair, (not coloured btw) but still find black mascara a bit harsh as my skin colour has changed over the years.

I’ve been using brown mascara for many years but switched to black as I LOVE your mascara but I’m so glad you’ve made a brown one now as black is a tad harsh for my 66 year old eyes! Will be ordering immediately!! Thanks Kate x

Excellent write up, Brown mascara is a ‘must’ for older complexions, otherwise pantomime dame comes to mind. A classy, natural look, with gentle, flattering eye make up is much better. Well done Rumi.
