Men & Mascara is the second studio album by American country music artist Julie Roberts, released on June 27, 2006, via Mercury Nashville. It was her last album for the label.

Roberts broke through in 2004 with her eponymous debut album, which spawned the top-20 hit "Break Down Here". This success led the record to be certified Gold by the RIAA. For this record, Roberts worked with Byron Gallimore and James Stroud. This was also the first album in which she has a writer's credit, co-writing four of the album's 12 tracks.

Despite early success at country radio, the album's two singles, "Men & Mascara" and "Girl Next Door" (a cover of the 2005 song by rock band Saving Jane) both failed to enter the US Hot Country Songs chart. Even with that, the album generally received acclaim from music critics and actually outpeaked her debut studio album, hitting number four on the US Top Country Albums chart.

"Too Damn Young" was later recorded by musician Luke Bryan on his 2011 studio album Tailgates & Tanlines.
