Girls with brown eyes are very lucky, because their large brown or black eyes will never go unnoticed. Even without makeup, they look bright and attractive.
Girls with dark eyes will suit any type of makeup: delicate, barely noticeable daytime, and passionate evening. In this case, shadows can be of absolutely any range of shades, it all depends on what goal you set for yourself: to emphasize the uniqueness of your appearance, add expressiveness or hide flaws. However, brown eyes themselves are distinguished by a variety of tones and depth of color, this must be taken into account in balance with the shade and type of skin.
The color of dark eyes varies from yellow to coffee. And the variation in shades is great, which means that the same color scheme will not suit everyone. But the general laws of makeup related to makeup exist and are successfully applied not only by owners at home, but also by famous makeup artists in beauty salons.
Which eyeshadow color should I choose?
The range of shadows that you can choose is very large: shades of gray, a variety of blue tones, pink shadows, classic green, khaki, and of course gold, orange, peach.
In order for the selected tone to be ideal for you, you will, of course, have to experiment, but, nevertheless, the main shades that are in harmony with the original eye color can still be systematized.
If your eyes are a rich chocolate shade, you can safely use warm shadows, they will emphasize the attractiveness of your gaze. They should be applied by shading, making sure to darken the outer corner of the eye.
If you have a unique brown color with blue or green splashes, use eyeshadow in deep purple tones, this will only emphasize your inherent uniqueness.
Yellow splashes on the iris of the eyes can be highlighted if you use “greens”, including khaki. Shades of blue won’t hurt, they perfectly set off yellow and highlight your unusual eye color.
And if your eyes are brown with a honey tint, then makeup from a wide palette of shades of blue is suitable for such a brown-yellow color. You can enhance the attractiveness of honey-colored brown eyes by using shimmering shadows with a drop of gold or silver; mother-of-pearl will also bring its own zest to your look.
Don't forget to focus on the shade of your eyes. Light brown eyes harmonize wonderfully with a light palette, while dark ones – with a bright and expressive one.
Choosing a color palette
Sometimes a girl doesn’t want to choose the color of her eye shadow based solely on the shade of her eyes. Each of us has our favorite makeup colors that we would like to use both during the day and at night. Now we will look at the most common color schemes, which, without a doubt, will suit any dark-eyed girl.
For some reason, many brown-eyed beauties are sure that brown eyeshadow is the most boring option. In fact, this is not true at all. Brown, as well as all shades of beige, walnut and ocher, are the closest color to the skin of the eyelids.
If you are a dark-skinned girl, then the color of the skin around your eyes may be slightly darker than the tone and color of your facial skin. Usually it is a pinkish tint or light brown. Therefore, shadows of a delicate brown shade add natural depth to dark eyes and are ideal for daytime makeup, as they are practically invisible.
Gray shadows
Neutral gray suits any eyes, but brown ones especially. For daytime makeup, choose light shades of gray with a pearlescent tint, or matte ones to match your skin tone. For evening makeup, using gray shadows you can create the image of a femme fatale in the smoky eyes style.
If your brown eyes are not very dark and have a golden or amber tint to them, then green eye shadow will suit you very well. Since your eyes are warm in color, choose warm eyeshadows. For example, warm light green, or khaki shades.
If your eyes have a honey tint, but are generally quite dark, then you can experiment with cooler, bright shadows. For example, turquoise or emerald eyeshadow would be an excellent option for evening makeup.
Blue and blue shadows
If you have light brown eyes, then you can emphasize the depth of their color with the help of blue and blue shades of shadows. If your eyes are rich brown or black, then try a dark shade of blue. Choose shadows of the texture that you like best: they can be either pearlescent or blue matte. We believe that matte texture is the most advantageous option.
When applying blue shadows to your eyelids, do not forget about a makeup base and a light corrector for the area around the eyes. The fact is that this color will easily highlight dark circles under the eyes or small spider veins. After applying the makeup base and brightener, the skin around the eyes will glow.
Despite the capriciousness of this shade, pink shadows are perfect for brown eyes. Pink shadows do not go as well with any eye color as they do with brown ones, and therefore we recommend that you try this shade.
Pink eye makeup can be used during the day, but we recommend you use a light and light shade of eyeshadow in combination with pink or coral lipstick. For evening makeup, the option with sparkles is quite suitable.
Another feature of pink eyeshadow: if you are a fair-skinned girl, then light and cool shades of pink are recommended for you. For dark-skinned beauties, we recommend rich coral and brick shades.
Shadows for brown eyes and day makeup
In order to create a gentle look, you need to use light shadows: pink, peach, gray. They should be applied up to the eyebrows; you can add only a small accent at the outer corner of the eye with a richer color, this will emphasize the fullness of the eyelashes. Cocoa-colored eyes require avoidance of harsh tones, only light colors combined with delicate blush and neutral lip gloss.
Undoubtedly, the art of makeup for owners of brown eyes is not at all complicated, you just need to take into account everything we told you about.
Eyes are the mirror of the soul. Therefore, it is very important to design them correctly, to give them special charm and expressiveness. Mascara, eyeliner, as well as shadows correctly selected according to eye color will help with this.
Which ones are suitable?
Brown eye color is the most common on the planet. It varies in brightness - from dark brown, almost black to light brown, and also in purity - nutty, marsh, interspersed with green and gray. In fact, it is easier to choose the shade of eyeshadow for such eyes than for others.
If you have brown eyes, your makeup bag should definitely include nude shades - peach, chocolate, beige. Firstly, because nude makeup has been very popular lately and does not look provocative, and secondly, because it is universal, it can be worn both to a business meeting and to a birthday party.
There are also certain criteria for selecting shadows for different shades of brown. For example, for those with almost black eyes, it is better to use shadows of medium or high saturation, since poorly pigmented ones will look dull and faded. Makeup with golden or “smoky” arrows, as well as red shadows with a white arrow, will look very interesting.
For representatives of medium brown color, almost all shades are really suitable - from yellow to purple. From the cold range, one can especially highlight various blue and green shades, turquoise, lavender, plum and emerald.
For light brown, nude peach and brown shades, smoky textures applied to the crease of the eyelid are ideal. Of the brighter tones, the best are olive, bronze, and muted peach.
Contrasting tones will look good with walnuts - pink, violet, lilac, lilac, as well as gray, orange and dark brown.
For the so-called “tea eyes”, warm brown, burgundy, purple and brown shadows are suitable - but well shaded.
If your eyes are not purely brown, but mixed with green, a universal option would be to choose green eyeshadow. Dark purple, brown and eggplant colors will also suit you. For an everyday daytime option, you can choose nut shades, slightly lighter than the eye color to give the look tenderness and lightness.
Also, if you don't want to spend time on eye makeup every day, you can do it once with permanent shadows. However, it is difficult to recommend this method, since the result cannot be covered with anything other than foundation and doing another make-up will be problematic. Just remember that this option exists.
Hair color
In addition to eye color, of course, you need to take into account hair color, and also not forget about skin color. This is very similar to the theory of color types - for example, it is better to choose the same shades of shadows for cold undertones of hair, warm ones - warm ones, because bright eyes and dull hair do not look together, and just the opposite.
For brunettes
The first option that comes to mind when choosing eyeshadow for those with dark hair is black. Indeed, dark tones are ideal for brunettes and dark-haired, brown-eyed girls - black, chocolate, brown of varying saturation. Both matte and shiny. Plum, nude pink and burgundy will look good - they will add tenderness to the image, silver or gold as an arrow or on the crease of the eyelid.
For blondes
Owners of light hair - blondes, especially light brown ones - should first of all pay attention to sand, beige and other nude shades. They will look very gentle, and “smoky” ones, made in these tones with the addition of just a drop of black, look very attractive.
As a brighter option, you can pay attention to various shades of green - avoiding, however, light green and near yellow tones, as well as pink - here the limitation is only in saturation, since light pink shades, “pink” and doll pink look better muted .
If you also have sandy or hazel eyes with blond hair, take a closer look at yellow and gold shades. Gold and brick tones will look very flattering if you are a blonde with dark brown eyes.
For brown-haired women
For fair-haired or brown-haired women, purple and blue tones are suitable - they will make the look visually deeper, attract attention, and soft green ones will add tenderness. Black and silver will look beautiful with dark or almost black eyes.
For redheads
Copper and red shades suit red-haired girls - they will help highlight the hair color. This will look especially impressive on eyes with warm undertones - since both brown and orange give characteristic copper reflections, allowing the eyes to shine in the sun. In this case, such bright shades can be applied even to the lower eyelid or in combination with a red pencil - the main thing is to use a base for the shadows so that they do not crumble.
Emerald has always suited redheads, and in the case of brown eyes it will also suit them. Choose blue shadows with caution - they should be a deep night color, but not light blue, this will visually make your eyes tired. The same goes for pink flowers.
Leather
For dark skin, a peach-olive palette and brown tones of eye shadow are ideal. It is better not to overuse black, as it, in combination with dark skin, can overload the image.
Snow Whites should pay attention to pink and chocolate tones, bright blue and emerald green. The undertone of the skin is important - if it is cold, then bright red and orange yellow shades are contraindicated for you, and if it is warm, you should beware of blue and purple. Otherwise, shadows can emphasize wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes and create a tired look.
How to paint correctly?
It’s not enough just to choose the right shades, you also need to know how to use them correctly. A number of conditions required to create a beautiful image must be fulfilled step by step.
- Choose an accent. These could be eyes or lips, but in no case both zones at once. With a spectacular bright red lipstick, the most you can do with your eyes is to highlight them with eyeliner, mascara or nude shadows. And, on the contrary, with large wings or prominent “smoky” lipstick should be nude.
- However, remember that when highlighting one zone, you should not forget about others. After all, festively painted eyes look ridiculous without blush or any lipstick. The image must be uniform.
- You must have a base for the shadows - a base, a primer. It prolongs the durability of makeup, makes some shades brighter, and prevents them from rolling off or running away from the eyes. It also makes the surface of the eyelid smoother.
- Brushes. A flat brush with long bristles is ideal. For shading – fluffy. You can use an applicator, which manufacturers often throw in the packaging, but they do not blend out the shadows well and application requires a lot of effort. The quality of makeup tools determines its comfortable and convenient application, as well as the level of injury to the eyelid.
- Brushes are used for baked or crumbly textures. Pencil shadows or shadow sticks are applied directly from the package, while cream textures are usually applied with your fingers, and liquid textures with a special applicator.
- It is very important to use an eyeshadow base. It prolongs makeup, prevents shadows from crumbling and creates a feeling of comfort. Also don’t forget about a corrector for circles under the eyes and foundation to disguise imperfections.
- The colors of the shadows should be in harmony. There can be no more than three of them - a base shade, a light one, which is several tones lighter than the base one, and a dark one, in other words - a marker, the darkest and most prominent pigment.
- Clear lines are not acceptable. Pigments must be shaded.
- Transparent powder can be applied over the shadows– it will fix the makeup and will not allow it to roll or crumble.
- Mascara or eyelash gel are applied only after eye shadow. Otherwise, there is a chance that the eyelashes will be painted over with crumbled pigment. The same goes for the arrow.
Step by step guide
In classic makeup, the following sequence of actions has always been used:
- Apply the eyeshadow base to the eyelid and wait a few minutes until it is completely absorbed. The skin should feel smooth and moisturized, ready for applying eye shadow.
- Then comes the turn of the base shade - it is applied to the entire upper eyelid.
- Now it is very important to carefully shade the shades without mixing them together. They should be just as bright, but the borders should be almost invisible.
- Only after you have finished with the shadows can you proceed to the liner or pencil for the arrow and mascara or false eyelashes.
The area under the eyebrow and the inner corner of the eye are covered with a light color. And the fold of the eyelid from the middle is the darkest. It is also applied along the contour of the eyelashes.
Acting according to this plan, you are quite capable of beautifully designing your eyes - perhaps not the first time, but you will definitely succeed.
Makeup
In fact, the classic version of eye makeup is “smoky eyes”. This is a popular, but not hackneyed way to highlight the eyes. Depending on the shades of the shadows, it can be used both for daytime makeup for every day, and for evening makeup for going out. The application technique is simple at first glance, but it is quite difficult to get into your hand. You will need: a thick concealer or corrector to smooth out any imperfections, an eyeshadow base, a soft black or dark brown eyeliner, an eyeliner pencil or liner, an eyebrow pencil, mascara and eyeshadow brushes. The most important thing is an eyeshadow palette of at least three shades - dark, medium and very light. Classic smokey eyes are a combination of light brown (or gray), dark brown (almost black) and pearlescent or beige. Remember that matte shadows are a more everyday, neutral option, but pearlescent ones are best used only for the evening (however, in the case of nude and soft pink shades, an exception can be made).
- It is more correct to start working with the eyes only when the skin is brought into compliance. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is apply moisturizer to your face, let it absorb and apply either foundation or powder, or blush if desired. Highlights with highlighter and contouring, however, are best left for later.
- On the upper eyelid you need to apply a makeup-prolonging shadow base.
- Take a soft pencil and outline the eye as close to the eyelash contour as possible. The contour from the lower eyelid should go slightly towards the temple, creating a light, unfilled arrow.
- Time of shadows. Take the darkest shade and apply it to the upper eyelid and the lower one from the top edge to the inner one, gradually reducing the saturation. Do not paint over the center of the upper eyelid. Blend the shadows.
- Paint the remaining free space with a medium shade, also shading, creating a soft and smooth transition.
- The lightest shade is applied to the inner corners of the eyes, to the space under the eyebrow and very little to the upper eyelid closer to the nose. Don't forget to blend.
- If desired, you can complement this makeup with a full-fledged arrow. Don't forget about your eyelashes.
“Smoky” looks very interesting on brown eyes in blue, pink and purple shades. Remember that “smoky” is makeup with an emphasis on the eyes, so you should not use bright lipstick or highlight your cheekbones with bronzer.
- Do the same facial preparation as for smoky eyes. Apply the base to the eyelid, and then apply a yellow shade to the center of the upper eyelid.
- Apply a smear of crimson shadow to the outer corner of the eye - it should be rich. Kind of outline it with a dark shade of crimson eyeshadow and add a little underneath. Put it out.
- Place a highlight of golden shadow on the inner corner of the eye, the lower eyelid and a little on the crease of the upper eyelid. Blend thoroughly.
- Now it's the arrow's turn. It should be rich – gold or black, bright. After - mascara or false eyelashes.
- Now you need to take the darkest pigment - it will be better if it is matte black - and paint the area behind the pencil line with it. Just a little, touching the outer corner.
- Next, take a contrasting shade - purple, green or blue, luminous pigments will look better. And carefully cover the area just above the black with it, apply just a little shade to it and the outer corner from below. Simmer gently.
- For this makeup, as for ladies who want to enlarge their eyes, an arrow is needed. You will need a matte black liner, a pencil will not work. You must draw a line along the eyelash eyelid from above and draw it into the arrow. The arrow should flow smoothly into the black pigment.
- Makeup is complemented with mascara or false eyelashes.
If you do not want to paint each eye every day for half an hour, you can take a risk and perform a procedure such as tattooing. Its full name is “eyelid tattoo with shadow effect.” Its main advantage is minimizing the time spent on eye makeup. One swipe of mascara and you can go to work. However, tattooing combines well with winged eyeliner and shadows, and does not mean at all that you should not paint your eyes after it. However, it is not universal - so if you are not sure that you want to wear the same type of makeup all the time, make the tattoo less pronounced. As a rule, the outer corner of the eye and the fold are highlighted with a dark pigment. An arrow is also often drawn. Sometimes clients ask the artist to shade the tattoo, then the effect is most natural. You can choose the shade yourself - the palette is not as large as that of eyeshadows, but the color can always be emphasized with a couple of additional strokes of the brush.
Many people mistakenly think that brown eyes are somehow ordinary and unattractive. In fact, this is a misconception, because brown eyes have always been considered the most beautiful and deep. Dark eyes attract more attention than light ones. We, in turn, will add that having brown eyes is real luck.
Indeed, in addition to the fact that the look of those with brown eyes, even without makeup, looks much brighter and more mysterious than those of blue-eyed people, it is even easier for them to choose the color of the shadows. Yes, yes, this especially applies to brown-eyed, brown-haired women. It is enough to just slightly emphasize the natural playfulness with shadows, and all attention is again drawn to their gaze. However, women should know how to not only choose the right eyeshadow, but also how to apply it correctly. This is exactly what we will talk about.

Peculiarities
All owners of brown eyes should remember that the colors of the shadows are created for your eyes, and not vice versa. In this case, shadows should only emphasize the natural depth and expressiveness of the look, and not create an artist’s palette on your eyelid. For owners of brown eyes, such a color boom and experimenting with bright shadows is inappropriate.
So, what eyeshadow suits brown eyes? Do not forget that this color of the iris belongs to warm shades, so you should carefully choose cool shades so as not to drown out the “beauty”. Of course, the perfect trump card for brown-eyed beauties is the olive-brown color scheme. Green, brown, purple and beige tones are the field of activity for this eye color. They can be used both for an evening out and for creating regular daytime makeup. With the right combination, gray shadows look good, but you definitely need to choose the appropriate outfit for them. It is important that the warm shade of the eyes does not take away from your image.
Coloristics
Many people think that the shade of eye shadow, first of all, should be chosen based on the color of the outfit. But this is far from true. The rule of makeup is the harmonious selection of shadows, taking into account skin tone, purpose of makeup and hair color. By the way, the last factor is very important. It is from the correctly selected shade of shadows in accordance with your hair color that your image can be simply irresistible.
With blond hair
The combination of light natural hair with dark brown eyes is quite rare. However, such a rare feature always gives a woman’s image a special piquancy. And if this feature is advantageously emphasized with the help of shadows, interest from men will be simply ensured. So, brown-eyed girls with light hair color can safely wear beige, sand, green and pink shadows. It is important to consider the time of day and the purpose of the makeup. For example, in daytime make-up, blondes with brown eyes can use golden and peach shades. While for evening makeup you should choose bright and rich colors, for example, chocolate, green and purple shadows.
Owners of blond hair look very beautiful and elegant if olive and soft lilac shadows are applied to the eyelids of their brown eyes. At the same time, in this range it is important to maintain a smooth border of colors, carefully shading the transition.
Makeup example
This is how, for example, a girl with blond hair and brown eyes can apply makeup to her eyes. We offer you a small selection of photos.
With brown hair
Fair-haired beauties are true Slavs. This color was previously highly valued as a symbol of wheat and the generous Russian land. However, today it has lost its former popularity. Many stylists mistakenly call this color faded, “gray” and uninteresting. Having listened to modern sayings, many fair-haired “Slavs” rushed to beauty salons to repaint their “uninteresting” color. And in vain, because light brown hair is a symbol of femininity, innocence and purity. If you are a burning brunette and you are already over 40, try changing your dark hairstyle to a light brown braid, and you will immediately see how you look 10 years younger. Yes, yes, this has already been proven. This hair color beautifies and makes a woman look younger. But you can present it favorably by using shadows and applying your eye makeup correctly.
So, the most preferred eyeshadow colors for owners of light brown hair are the whole range of brown-green shades, as well as golden, beige, gray with dark accents, and purple. At the same time, it is very good for fair-haired girls with brown eyes to paint their eyes with monoshadows and use the effect of long arrows. They can be applied either with eyeliner or with a pencil with a shading effect.
Makeup example
With dark hair
Well, of course, a brown-eyed, dark brown-haired woman is simply amazing. But, if you choose the wrong shade of shadows for such a color type, the image of a noble maiden can be ruined. For those with dark brown hair and eyes, shades of cool shades are perfect. It can be gray, silver, black, metallic colors. Of course, the mandatory range for everyday makeup includes brown, green and chocolate shades, and it is very good to combine them with soft pink and beige colors. These colors give dark eyes an openness and radiance. Makeup for dark-haired, brown-eyed beauties should be done in a clear sequence. You should start painting your eyes from the inner corner of the eye with light shadows, and ending with the darkest ones on the outer corner. We offer a more detailed example of makeup in our selection of photos.
Owners of brown eyes are rightfully considered scorching beauties, because what could be more attractive than an expressive look? How to highlight natural beauty without going overboard?
Makeup with shadows for brown eyes
First of all, it should be noted that expressive women by nature are very bright and attract attention even without makeup. That is why it is so important not to cross the line when a beautiful and stylish make-up becomes vulgar. To prevent this from happening, you need to know which shadows will suit brown eyes. In this regard, brown-eyed beauties are lucky, since the palette of suitable colors is more than extensive. In addition, brown eye color needs only a slight emphasis, unless we are talking about evening or evening wear. In this case, beige and nude pearlescent shades would be a good option. They will also fit perfectly into shades with a golden tint. You can emphasize the shape and size of your eyes with thin lines of eyeliner. For brown eyes, contrasting shades of shadows, for example bright green, are suitable. But in this case, it is very important not to make a mistake, since you can pay for it with a harmonious appearance. Too bright a shade of contrasting shadows will overshadow the natural beauty of brown color, and a faded one will make the makeup look comical. Therefore, it is very important to choose exactly “your” color. It will look completely different. Which shadows will suit brown eyes if you need to attend a festive event? Firstly, the arrows are drawn differently.
If for daytime makeup they repeat natural makeup, then for evening makeup they should follow a seductive line, giving the look cat-like curves. In this case, the shadows should be dark: rich bronze or expressive gray. Bright turquoise will transform your look, but it is worth remembering the peculiarities of bright shadows for brown eyes.
What mistakes should not be made?
Despite the fact that almost any eye shadow color can be used for brown eyes, there are some shades that you should avoid. For example, if delicate golden and peach tones look more than successful, orange, on the contrary, will only ruin the makeup. It will give the look a sick look. In addition, some colors are difficult to combine with the whole image, and this is very important, because otherwise it will not be possible to achieve harmony in the appearance. Knowing which shadows will suit brown eyes, it is important not to forget about those that absolutely cannot be used.
You should be careful with pink shades. If the skin is quite pale and the hair color is red or dark, then brown eyes with such makeup will fade and look puffy. Pale blue shades are only possible in combination with a more saturated blue color, since using only them makes the look cold. Yellow shadows, for the most part, go well with brown eye color, but only if this color can be seen in other elements of the image, for example in clothes or accessories. Well, of course, we must not forget about personal preferences, since only the owner of brown eyes herself knows which specific color will suit her.
Makeup is an art that every woman can master. By adhering to simple rules, it is easy to add expressiveness to your appearance, place accents where needed, and divert attention from shortcomings. Girls with dark hair and brown eyes have always been favorite models for makeup artists to create. This is not surprising, because when working with this color type you can use the boldest shades. To properly do makeup for brown eyes, you don’t need a special arsenal. It is quite possible to get by with a small set of cosmetics suitable for a specific appearance.

Arsenal of cosmetics bag of a brown-eyed woman
Dark-haired beauties with brown eyes have an undeniable advantage - the ability to use a wide color palette. Despite the fact that this type of appearance belongs to the “winter”, work on makeup is not limited to cold shades. Practice in this matter is the best advisor. Your makeup bag should contain tools and products that will add freshness and charm to a brunette’s appearance.
Eyeshadow Palette
A palette of cool shades is the ideal solution for brown eye makeup. But for daytime makeup, it would be wise to also have a set of shadows from a brown range, which naturally emphasizes brown eyes. However, there are some nuances associated specifically with the shade of the eyes:
- Shadows for dark eyes, sometimes called “black eyes”: classic brown palette (including shades of light chocolate), silver-gray tones, green natural shades, plum and lilac (not a “flashy” shade).
- Shadows for brown eyes (medium shade without splashes of color): brown palette from light to darkest, black, peach, nut, plum, soft shades of pink and lilac.
- Shadows for green-brown eyes: golden, olive, a rich range of greens (from grassy shades to turquoise) and, of course, a brown set of makeup shadows.
- Shadows for yellow-brown eyes: shades of brown (from the lightest to the “bitter chocolate” tone), golden and green colors. Violet colors give stunning expressiveness to “honey” eyes.
The blue-blue palette deserves special attention. Using it in makeup, the dark-eyed brunette runs the risk of looking too flashy. There is nothing wrong with this when it comes to evening makeup. But for daytime makeup this is unnecessary.
Important! Terracotta shades are strictly contraindicated for use in makeup for brown eyes.
Eyeliner and mascara
Women with dark hair and brown eyes will also have no problems choosing mascara. Most of them have dark eyelashes and will be able to experiment with any of the colors of the main palette: black, brown, dark blue. Moreover, blue mascara on dark eyelashes does not look theatrical, since it becomes noticeable only in certain lighting.Accordingly, both eyeliner and eyeliner from the same color range will be ideal for dark eye makeup.
Evening makeup for brown-eyed women
To create an evening make-up, you can use the eyeshadow palette quite safely. Knowing “her tone,” a dark-eyed woman with dark hair will be able to beautifully highlight her appearance. Don't be afraid to try new shades, because it is through trial and error that unexpected combinations are discovered.
Evening makeup for brown eyes in women with dark hair allows for bright accents and glitter cosmetics. Glossy eyeliner will highlight the depth of your eyes very well. For such a case, it is made more clear, like those of oriental beauties. You can make your eyebrow color darker without fear that it will look bright.
Advice! There is never a need to experiment with new colors and techniques if there are only a few minutes left before the celebration. It’s better to leave for later the desire to repeat the makeup of a glamorous beauty from a fashion magazine. Otherwise the result is unpredictable.
Makeup for every day
Despite the fact that a bright woman of the “winter” type can afford to leave the house without makeup (many girls with blond hair and eyes are very complex about this, considering themselves “colorless” without makeup), the complete absence of it on the face will not particularly beautify modern lady. Neat daytime makeup for brown eyes is a sign of a well-groomed woman. In addition, it greatly improves self-esteem.

Smokey eyes for dark eyes
An interesting makeup technique called “smoky eye” has gained particular popularity. This technique is not new, as some people think. The “smoky eye” effect was very popular in the 20s and 30s of the last century. It was used to give brunettes the image of a “femme fatale”, but it was performed exclusively in black tones. The modern analogue is more interesting, as it allows for various shades and can be used for any color type of appearance.
When choosing the desired color scheme, do not forget that its shades should be in harmony not only with the color of the eyes and hair, but also with the skin tone, outfit and, of course, it should match the event. No matter how dizzying the “smokey” looks in violet and lilac tones, it will look ridiculous in an office work environment.
Step-by-step master class
- First, you should prepare your skin for makeup: foundation or cream, you can powder your eyelids a little.
- Apply a soft cosmetic pencil along the eyelash edge without “gaps” (do not start working directly from the inner corner). Gently blend the line with the applicator.
- Apply shadows of the darkest shade from the palette chosen for makeup onto the pencil base. Blend the edges again.
- Apply lighter shadows to the resulting border, shading again (to enhance the effect, a third tone, even lighter than the previous one, would be useful).
- The same pencil is used on the lower eyelid. Draw a line to the outer corner, making it wider at the end. And again rub gently with the applicator.
- A pencil line drawn along the inside of the eyelid gives expressiveness to the eyes. But this technique is not suitable for small and close-set eyes. But for owners of large round eyes, this method comes in handy.
- The “arrow” is drawn along the eyelash edge of the upper eyelid; its “tail” will be thicker in the final part.
- All that remains is to paint your eyelashes, add a little blush to your cheekbones and gloss to your lips.
Advice! A beautiful “smoky eye” does not accept bright lips. Lipstick in neutral tones or a little gloss is what you need for the image of a captivating beauty with a deep look of “smoky” eyes.
