I pronounce it the spooky way (maSCAREuh). I grew up in Hawai'i, Missouri, and Texas--my accent is primarily Midwest with a touch of Texas (and some Hawai'i accent when talking with my relatives there).

Scare, Michigan. Also Iowa and Kansas

Mass-SCAR-ah, South coast of England, accent varies from Sussex-Hampshire to RP, but regardless of how posh (or not) I’m sounding, the SCAR stays the same.

Feels a bit more schwa-like on my tongue. mass-kehr-ah So more scare than scar, but not quite scare either. Seattle region

Scare. usa. South East.

The 1st, mostly Virginia with strong Alabama influences

Scare and from Connecticut.

Scar, Canberra Australia. Never understood why people pronounce it the other way.

Scare. I grew up in Utah and moved to the Pacific Northwest when I was 18.

Mass-scare-a, Bay Area of California born and raised but according to that "Where Is Your English From" map poll people were doing a few months back I may as well be Judd Hirsch.

Third pronunciation, the one I've heard the most. mass-KAH-ruh Derived from the Spanish "mascara", literally meaning "mask".

Defo 'mas-SCAR-ah' everywhere I've lived (Wales, England & Scotland). Whilst my American parents also say it 'mas-SCAR-ah' as a result of living over here so long, I have heard it pronounced 'mas-SCARE-ah' in American shows pretty broadly east-coast & west-coast.

First, from the Midwest

SCARE-uh, mostly Minnesota. My mom didn’t talk about makeup, so it’s a word I heard only in public and on the media, so I’m not sure if that’s really how it would be organically pronounced by others.
