What makeup is suitable for brown eyes for every day and special occasions

Brown eyes are always a mystery bordering on magic. They fascinate, envelop with their mystery and enchanting deep color. But it is not enough to just be the owner of brown eyes, it is also important to be able to emphasize this, choosing cosmetics for yourself in accordance with your color type.

The makeup of brown eyes can be different, everything will depend on many factors, for example, the time of day, the case for which this makeup is applied, as well as many small nuances, which will be discussed below.

A few basic rules

Consider the basic rules of makeup for brown eyes. Of course, no makeup will look advantageous if you don't even out the tone of your face, don't know how to correctly combine shades and ineptly apply cosmetics in general. But we can safely say that all brown-eyed persons can safely experiment with bright contrasting, deep colors.

Eyeliner is very suitable for brown-eyed girls, like no one else, so it must be in a cosmetic bag. The fact is that the eyeliner is able to emphasize the beauty of dark eyes, giving them a pronounced oriental shade.

And with a little practice, you can use it to create beautiful and playful Pin-Up looks. At first, it will not be very easy to apply the eyeliner, but the main thing here is to lead it along the line of growth of the eyelashes of the upper eyelid, and at the end slightly raise the tail of this line, giving the shape of a cat's eye.

In addition, eyeliner is also an eye contour corrector. It is also important to choose the right eye shadow palette, and here everything will depend on the skin tone of the girl, on the intensity of the color of her eyes, as well as on the color of her hair.

Another important element of makeup is the application of mascara.

Since mascara can be of different colors (black and brown), here you should also start from the girl's color type: lighter eyes, skin and hair can be combined with brown mascara, and bright brown in combination with dark hair and slightly dark skin - with black ...

But there are a few more important rules in applying makeup that all girls, without exception, should know:

  1. In no case should a concealer with shimmery reflective particles be applied to a swollen lower eyelid, since such an inept technique will further emphasize imperfections;
  2. If the upper eyelid slightly overhangs, then such a small flaw can be easily eliminated with the help of smoky brown shadows: they are applied to the crease of the eyelid and shaded with a brush;
  3. Any makeup should correspond to the general appearance, that is, neither the color nor its intensity should go against the chosen clothes;
  4. If there is a desire to slightly enlarge the incision of the eyes, that is, to make the look wider, a white pencil can be applied to the lower eyelid;
  5. To, on the contrary, give the eyes the effect of a cat's eyes, a pencil of a dark shade, for example, black or olive, must be applied to the lower eyelid. Brown will not work in this case, as it can create the effect of sore or tear-stained eyes.

How to choose the right eyeliner, mascara and eye shadow for brown eyes

To apply beautiful makeup, it is important to decide on the items of cosmetics, or rather, the colors of shadows, mascara and eyeliner:

Why are brown eyes so suitable for shades of various shades? The answer here is quite simple, and it lies in the natural qualities of dark eyes, which contain several basic pigments at once - this is red, yellow and, oddly enough, blue.

That is why almost all eyeshadow colors can be combined with such eyes. But still, if the girl's eyes are more light, then the shadows must be selected lighter. It is the same with dark eyes, which are more suitable for darker shades of shadow.

Now a few words about the eyeliner. Here you can safely purchase it in several colors:

Blue Very suitable for bright, rich brown eyes. In combination with a pencil, it can create a very beautiful evening make-up that does not require the use of shadows. It is best to choose a deep blue, such as cobalt or bordering indigo.
Green In this case, you also need to pay attention exclusively to a deep color, for example, to emerald green, which is very suitable for brown eyes. Such an eyeliner will favorably emphasize the depth of dark eyes, and you can apply it at any time of the day, but in the daytime it is better to shade the green eyeliner to give the makeup a calmer shade.
Plum As already mentioned, all shades of purple are the best shades for brown-eyed people. In this case, the plum color of the eyeliner has a pink undertone, which will emphasize the deep shade of the eyes and give the make-up femininity and light sexuality.
Black Black eyeliner is an all-time classic. This color is also versatile in that it will be appropriate in any light and in any situation. Black eyeliner will accentuate the beauty of brown eyes of any saturation. And with certain skills, it will create an incredible image.

Makeup for blondes, brunettes and redheads with brown eyes

Now let's look at makeup for brown eyes and hair of different colors (dark, light, red). If a brown-eyed girl is the owner of blond curls, then her makeup should correspond to the given image. In this case, the following shades of shadows are suitable:

  • beige;
  • peach;
  • coffee;
  • sand;
  • chocolate.

A combination of these colors is not excluded. If the goal is to create the effect of open eyes, then in the makeup it is necessary to adhere to lighter tones, while the eyelash growth line must be carefully shaded with shadows of a darker tone.

It is important to know that with very light skin tones, yellow and orange tones should be avoided. For daytime makeup, you can opt for brown mascara.

If a dark-eyed lady is a brunette, then colors such as purple, blue, black, gray, brown, gold and sea-green are just right for her, while mostly brown-eyed brunettes look best with matte shadows, and shimmery ones are best left for more suitable cases.

Here you should avoid all the same orange and yellow tones that will discolor the beauty of dark skin.

Red-haired girls with brown eyes should forget about cold tones, as well as marine shades and the entire palette of lilac. But peach shadows, beige or even pink are the best choice for such a combination of hair and eyes.

It is worth avoiding too bright shades, preferring soft half-tones with a mother-of-pearl sheen. And to emphasize the shape of the eyes, the line drawn by an eyeliner or pencil should be as thin and accurate as possible.
