"'Mascara'" is the second single released by Australian rock band Killing Heidi from their debut album, 'Reflector' (2000). It was released on 10 November 1999, when their debut single, "Weir", was still on the Australian Singles Chart. The re-release of the "Mascara" single was issued with "Leave Me Alone" as its B-side; it was this version that topped the Australian chart, becoming Killing Heidi's only number-one hit in their native country. "Mascara" was later released in the United States.

In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time, "Mascara" was ranked number 90.
