Heartbreak can change your priorities, who you are, and make you a stronger person. An epiphany is when pain turns into clarity, and that’s when mascara works best. Bailey Perrie’s fast-paced rock-pop anthem, “Mascara,” bravely faces its scars and quickly turns emotional turmoil into energy.
At 147 BPM, “Mascara” has a pop-and-rock sound that gives it energy, and it talks about how loving someone who isn’t right for you can make you stronger. Bailey Perrie sees what happened as a lesson that makes her feel better about herself.
“Mascara” sounds honest, which is what makes it resonate, and it’s about feeling strong, but it also explores what it feels like to be heartbroken. The main metaphor in the song, tears and smudged makeup, is a smart way to show strength and remind people that self-respect lasts even after short-term pain.
Bailey Perrie’s delivery is strong and confident, and it fits the song’s tempo perfectly. The production keeps the energy up, showing that healing can sometimes be loud, fast, and cathartic. That release makes “Mascara” look great, so it’s both a song and a statement.
“Mascara” thinks that heartbreak is a turning point, and it reminds us that not every love story is worth remembering and not every ending is worth crying over. In this release, Bailey Perrie turns something that happens to everyone into a moment of strength.
