Butter yellow was the reigning color trend of 2024, but it's been holding strong in 2025 for a reason. There's something so sweet and summery about the pastel yellow shade, especially as a manicure color of choice. It's light enough to feel like a neutral, but has an unexpected whimsy that makes it stand out on tips and toes. Case in point: Kendall Jenner's new butter yellow nails, which are equal parts delicious and dainty.
There's been some shall-we-say “discussion” around nail length on TikTok, with Gen-Zers saying that long nails are “millennial coded” and short, square nails are more Gen Z. Jenner has worn both styles, but is currently embracing a shorter length. Manicurist Zola Ganzorigt, who also sculpts the nails of Jenner's sisters Kylie and Khloé and bestie Hailey Bieber, filed Jenner's nails into a short, soft rounded square shape, then applied the prettiest pale butter color to each finger. It's so simple, but so pretty—just like a stick of butter, but the super-fancy kind that they serve with a dusting of sea salt at expensive restaurants.
“When [Kendall] is not working, she loves to get fun colors, so we went with this soft butter yellow this time,” Ganzorigt tells Allure of the inspiration behind the mani. The exact shade is OPI's Blinded by the Ring Light, which you can scoop up for about $12.

Jenner isn't the only Kardashian-Jenner sister who has embraced butter yellow as of late. Earlier this summer, eldest sis Kourtney Kardashian found the cutest way to wear the shade, swapping the traditional white French tip for a creamy pastel yellow instead. Like her little sister, Kardashian opted for a shorter length.
Despite what the marketing calendar may tell you, there's still plenty of summertime left, which means there's plenty of time for a butter yellow mani of your own! If the pastel hue isn't your thing, try a vivid limoncello instead; it's like the outgoing older sibling of butter yellow, and one of our top summer color trends. Or pair butter yellow with the equally adorable polka dot nail trend for a manicure that feels like pure golden sunshine.

This summer, our go-to lineup has included SPF-packed lip balm, oversized sunnies, and, a surprising addition, the best colorful mascaras. While we’ll always love a classic black or brown mascara, we’ve been reaching for bolder shades like cobalt, maroon, emerald, and even silver for concerts, photoshoots, and everything in between. Because the colorful mascara market is comparatively small, we’ve tested almost every formula and picked the brains of makeup artists to find the very best. From easy-to-remove tubing options to long-wearing standouts for long nights on the town, here’s your guide to the colorful mascaras your makeup bag didn’t know it was missing.

Why we love it: Benefit Cosmetics’ Badgal Bang Volumizing Mascara isn’t just a lash lifter, it gives you a whole new ‘tude. We’re hooked on the Wild Plum shade, a deep, wine-y burgundy that gives subtle drama in a single swipe and turns up the intensity with a few extra coats. But, it also comes in a bright electric blue as well as the classic black and brown. The formula is packed with ultra-light aero-particles, so you get major volume without that heavy, weighed-down feel. Its ultra-slim wand hugs every lash from corner to corner, while provitamin B5 works to keep them looking thicker and stronger over time. We love that it doesn’t smudge or flake as it stays put for up to 36 hours.

"Badgal Bang is one of my favorite mascara formulas of all time, so it wasn't exactly shocking that I love the burgundy version too. I know wearing purple makeup to contrast green eyes is the oldest trick in the book, but this plum-y brown really does make mine ‘pop’ without it being super obvious that I'm wearing a colorful mascara."—Kara McGrath, content director

Why we love it: The magic of Maybelline New York’s Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara lies in its subtlety. The nine shades aren’t loud or flashy but they add just enough color to catch the light and make passersby do a double take. We’re especially partial to the deep red-plum, which brightens the whites of your eyes and flatters every eye color. Bamboo extract and airy fibers deliver lift and length without weighing lashes down, while the flexible brush hugs each lash from root to tip for a soft, defined, and featherlight finish. And at just $8, it’s the easiest, most low-commitment way to play with color.

“I’m usually loyal to my lash clusters, but on lazy days, I reach for Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara in Classic Black. Lately, however, I’ve been craving something different, so I swapped my standby black for Burgundy Haze, and it’s quickly become a new favorite in my rotation. The subtle tint warms up my brown eyes and complements the pink tones in my blush, adding just enough color without feeling over the top. It also delivers on performance lifting, lengthening, and separating without flaking or weighing my lashes down.”—Jailynn Taylor, contributor

Why it's worth it: Yes, it’s on the pricer side, but Allure editors deem the Beauty Award-winning YSL Beauty's Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara worth it, as it’s a shortcut to high-impact, party-perfect lashes. Its powerhouse formula pulls triple duty—adding major volume, stretching every lash, and resisting smudges—while the oversized brush somehow still manages to reach every corner. New York City-based makeup artist Sara Talias previously told Allure that she “swears by” this thickening recipe. "The brush is great for building volume with extra coats of mascara and allows you to grab all the lashes," she says. We keep both the inky black and rich chocolate brown in rotation (brown is criminally underrated for a softer vibe), but the bold cobalt blue and new green shade is our pick when you want an electric addition to your makeup look. And, yes, the colors actually show up on dark lashes.

“I'm not sure why it took me so long to try this Best of Beauty winner but I'm happy we're here now. The cone-shape wand is pretty unique and latches onto every lash, which is much needed because I have naturally black lashes and colored mascaras rarely make the impact I'd like them, too. But YSL delivers and I'm left with pizzazzed-out blue lashes that make me feel ~some type of way~. The only thing is some product does transfer onto my lids, even when I'm not applying while staring into my teensy phone screen, but I don't mind it!” —Sarah Han, commerce editor

Why it's worth it: Tarte’s Tartelette Tubing Mascara has earned its viral status a permanent spot in our vanities, and the XL version is even a Best of Beauty winner. The formula is loaded with shea butter, castor oil, and carnauba wax to keep lashes flexible, soft, and flake-free all day. Its slim, bristle-packed brush hugs every lash from root to tip (even those tricky inner corners), delivering a lifted, lengthened look with zero clumps. True to tubing-mascara form, each lash gets its own water-resistant, smudge-proof coat in shades like classic black, deep brown, bold navy, emerald green, or punchy magenta, all of which are so rich and pigmented. Removal is super easy, too—just warm water works (or your favorite cleansing balm if you so please), no tugging required.

“My everyday mascara is black, but when I want to skip eyeliner and still bring out my eyes, I like to sub in navy. It's more subtle, but because the tubing mascara takes my lashes out there, you can still catch glints of it when I blink. I feel like it also brings out the gold tones in my eyes, and is a nice change of pace for when I want to step it up." —Deanna Pai, contributing editor

Why it's worth it: Dior’s Diorshow 24h Buildable Volume Mascara delivers up to a full day of wear without a single flake or smudge—and since it’s not waterproof, it comes off just as easily as it goes on. And that’s not the only reason makeup artist and brand founder Jenny Patinkin uses it on her clients. “The color is so subtle you don’t notice it from far away, but closer up, it really brightens the eyes and is flattering on all eye colors,” she says. She’s a fan of the Maron shade, which has sadly been discontinued, but the brown is a great fill-in, and the electric blue is always fun for a pop. Patinkin adds that you get the same volume from the colorful options of this mascara as you would from the regular colors, so you can rely on the formula to be consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mascara color makes eyes “pop”?
“Certain colorful mascaras can make the eyes look a little more vibrant, but it's important to make sure your lashes are curled into an upwards swoosh if you want to get the most impact, especially if you have hooded or deep-set eyes,” says Patinkin. “Without curling, all you will see is the color sticking out on straight lashes and not how it enhances the whole eye.”
According to Patinkin, colorful mascara is more versatile than people think. She prefers to use cooler tones because a little bit of blue in the formula makes the whites of the eyes look clear and bright. “Burgundy, dark violet, and navy look flattering on everyone, and a dark green is especially pretty on hazel or brown eyes to bring out the little green or gold flecks.” If you’re going for a natural look, opt for navy and burgundy.

How we test and review products
When Allure tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that's included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.
For our list of the best colorful mascaras, we considered each product's performance across five primary categories: product ingredients and efficacy, packaging, fragrance, texture, and product wear. Every product was determined to have excelled in each category by our editorial team, which is composed of in-house writers and editors as well as contributors—along with special consideration from board-certified dermatologists, optometrists, and cosmetic chemists. To learn more information on our reporting and testing processes, read our complete reviews process and methodology page.
Our staff and testers
A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors—in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon—is essential to reaching that goal.
After all, can we really say a skin-care product is the “best” for people over 50 if the only testers we’ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it’s never been tested on curls? We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.
How to Tell If Your “Salmon Sperm Facial” Is Legit Or a Disaster In Waiting

The aesthetics world is evolving at breakneck speed, and if you get whiplash from simply scrolling your TikTok FYP or reading about new treatments, topicals, and injectables, well, same. The quest for better skin—however you define that—is always evolving, and we’re seeing it play out in real time from our phone screens as practitioners share their favorite treatments and beauty adventurers document their appointments for all to see.
Outlandish beauty treatments have always gotten major attention; the flashier or more out-there the name, the more likely we are to pay attention to it, especially in such a crowded market. It’s no wonder, then, that so-called “salmon sperm” treatments have gotten so much buzz lately. A few years ago, Allure spotlighted salmon DNA-based treatments as an emerging aesthetics trend overseas; in countries like Australia and South Korea, the ingredient has been used as an injectable to encourage cell and tissue regeneration. It was only a matter of time until similar fish-centric treatments caught the eye of aesthetics-curious Americans like Kim Kardashian and plenty of other influencers—but not all salmon treatments are created equal or approved for use on your face.
There are two different types of salmon DNA: polynucleotides (PN) or polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), explains Roy Kim, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Francisco. Despite the nickname they’ve been given, you’re not smearing pure, straight-from-the-fish salmon semen all over your face; as Allure previously reported, PN and PDRN are simply chemicals extracted from salmon sperm.
PDRN is the only salmon DNA product that’s approved by the FDA and legal to use in the United States—but only topically. As New York City-based board-certified plastic surgeon Jennifer Levine, MD, explains, this topical-only use is because the FDA has only approved PDRN as a beauty product rather than a drug. Dr. Kim points out that it can be found in over-the-counter products like serums and masks for use at home. Otherwise, you might encounter it at the dermatologist’s office; some practitioners use it as a follow-up to irritating skin treatments like microneedling or laser. When PDRN serum is applied after microneedling, which creates small wounds or punctures in the top layer of the skin to encourage collagen production, the thinking is that it will boost hydration and skin elasticity. These treatments, which are similar to getting PRP, are often called “salmon sperm facials.”
“If you’re in the US and someone is about to plunge a needle filled with salmon DNA into your skin, that’s more than fishy… that’s a huge red flag.”
Dr. Levine offers topical PDRN treatments in her practice because these topical salmon DNA products, she says, are “very similar to human DNA and can help with skin quality, luminosity, and texture.” As Allure previously reported, studies have shown that polynucleotides can be beneficial for tissue regeneration and to stimulate collagen production.
PN, on the other hand, is one of several products that fall under the trendy "skin boosters" category—basically, shallow injections meant to infuse hydration for glowier skin. PN is only delivered via injection because its molecules are too large to be effective otherwise, Dr. Kim says. These treatments (which are considered a drug) are currently not approved by the FDA, meaning it’s currently illegal to perform any kind of salmon DNA injection in the United States.
PN and PDRN injections are legal in other countries around the world, however, and are particularly popular in Singapore, South Korea, and Australia. The procedure promises to stimulate collagen, improve fine lines and wrinkles, and make your skin look super glowy. (It also got a reputation for being very painful, because it involves getting hundreds of injections that leave a series of bumps that last a few days as the skin heals.) Dr. Kim says that while PN is “generally very safe and injectable,” he believes the FDA hasn’t approved it because it’s “extremely concerned about injecting animal DNA,” in part because of potential biological contaminants. When Allure reached out to the FDA for comment on the matter, a spokesperson told us, “The FDA maintains a list of approved dermal fillers, and there is no listing for Rejuran [a brand-name salmon DNA injectable] or any salmon DNA–based injectable skin booster.”
It’s easy to get confused about which salmon DNA procedure you’re signing up for, especially if you’re not well-versed in the aesthetics world and aren’t totally clear on the difference between injectables and microneedling, for example. To add another layer of confusion, these treatments can go by different names from provider to provider, including “salmon skin facials,” “salmon sperm injections,” “PDRN facials,” and Rejuran. But if you’re in the US and someone is about to plunge a needle filled with salmon DNA into your skin, that’s more than fishy… that’s a huge red flag.
“If something isn’t FDA-approved, there’s a reason, and the reason is your safety,” says Mona Gohara, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Connecticut. “FDA approval isn’t just a rubber stamp or a passing trend—it’s the difference between a medically sound treatment and a potentially dangerous experiment.” According to Dr. Gohara, FDA approval, which can take years to achieve, requires a product or treatment to go through rigorous safety, efficacy, and quality testing.

“Lines can easily be crossed when a product is available overseas and practitioners can get their hands on it online, even if it’s not approved for use in the United States.”
Injections require the utmost care because they penetrate the skin, which heightens safety risks for patients. “When it comes to injections—especially near delicate areas like the eyes—we’re not talking about trying a new lip gloss. We’re talking about inserting substances into living tissue,” says Dr. Gohara.
Ava Shamban, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, who has served as a principal investigator in many FDA trials, says that approval is essential for aesthetic tools and technologies—and that definitely includes PN and injectable PDRN. “The reason that this is important in this case as an example is to be sure that the product, sources, harvesting, handling, and processing meet key criteria,” she explains. “We are dealing with a raw material product that can cause allergies, contain contaminants, or have a host of risks that need to be assessed.” This can also include the concentration of nucleotides coming from a living species, which can vary. “Standardization and regulation is vitally important before introducing [this product] to market as an injectable.”
How, then, are some American providers performing salmon DNA injections without FDA approval? Lines can easily be crossed when a product is available overseas and practitioners can get their hands on it online, even if it’s not approved for use in the United States. “Unfortunately, it’s easier than you’d think,” explains Dr. Gohara. “People can skirt the rules by importing unapproved substances from other countries or ordering products online.” (That is, unless someone reports them to the FDA for administering unapproved treatments. Regular folks can also order injectables online and inject themselves, which is dangerous, to say the very least.)
Injectors may also “repurpose ingredients meant for topical use” as injectables, which, again, is a really bad idea. “Just because it looks injectable doesn’t mean it’s safe or legal to put under your skin,” Dr. Gohara says.
You may have heard of doctors using neuromodulators and fillers off-label, but the same theory does not apply to salmon DNA products. “While there are many injectable products that have off-label uses, they are still approved for injection somewhere,” explains Dr. Levine. “We cannot take a product approved only topically and decide to inject it. The approval is a significant investment both from a financial and time standpoint.”

Risks from a non-FDA-approved injection can include blood clots, nodules, allergic response, and inflammatory reactions, adds Dr. Levine. “Injecting a product that has not been run through that process exposes the patient and practitioner to tremendous risk,” emphasizes Dr. Shamban. Even if the product gets approved in the future (or if you travel to get the treatment in a country where it’s legal), there will be risks to consider. Because it’s derived from fish, salmon DNA sounds like a “natural” treatment, which can imply safety to some, but salmon-based treatments can cause irritation, allergic reactions, and breakouts, says Dr. Gohara.
Microneedling followed by topical, FDA-approved PDRN also comes with some risks, including introducing bacteria or triggering inflammation. “Imagine giving your skin tiny paper cuts—now imagine rubbing fish protein into those cuts,” Dr. Gohara explains. “That’s why sterility, proper technique, and post-treatment care are non-negotiable.”
“Imagine giving your skin tiny paper cuts—now imagine rubbing fish protein into those cuts. That’s why sterility, proper technique, and post-treatment care are non-negotiable.”
Red flags abound in the aesthetics world; some of the biggest ones to look out for when seeking a safe salmon DNA treatment include vague ingredient lists, pressure to act fast with “limited time” deals, and treatments offered in non-medical settings, Dr. Gohara says. “Legit procedures will always be clear about what’s in the product, how it’s applied, and whether it’s FDA approved.”
Doctors do think there’s potential for more FDA-approved salmon treatments in the future. “Salmon injections are used in other countries with good results in certain cases. I think they are best when combined with other regenerative products,” says Dr. Levine. If they were to be approved for injection purposes in the United States, she’d like to see “differences in formulations of the different companies, as well as decide where I was comfortable injecting it on the face,” and, of course, she wants proof the injections would provide “substantial results.”
Word of mouth and social media can be really persuasive; if you’re seeing tons of videos of people with glowing, radiant skin saying they owe it all to salmon sperm, it’s natural to want to try it for yourself. But for every video praising the service, there are more from board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons saying to hold off and wait for more research along with the FDA’s blessing. “If you're booking a service based on a TikTok trend, take a breath and ask, ‘Who’s performing this? What’s the product? Is it approved for this use?’” Dr. Gohara says. “When in doubt, check with a board-certified dermatologist. Your face is not the place for guesswork.”
