Makeup for brown eyes: tutorials, photos and videos of makeup

It is the eyes of a brown shade that are most often romantically called "eyes". They are sung by poets, their owners are credited with special sensuality and tenderness.

Brown eyes are usually extremely attractive, so why not accentuate their beauty with makeup? So how to do makeup for brown eyes?

The transformation should begin with applying ... no, not shadows or mascara, but the base for makeup - on the face. After all, no emphasis on "details" will produce the desired effect if the background for them leaves much to be desired. Therefore, your first task is to have even skin and an excellent complexion, so that no flaws distract others from admiring the enchanting depth of brown eyes. Base, foundation, powder - we use all this in very moderate quantities so that the face does not seem like a mask. Apply the corrective products with your fingertips, patting them. Make sure the product is evenly applied to the skin, without blemishes or abrupt transitions.

Make-up artists say: in order to create a beautiful eye make-up, the skin of the eyelids must be prepared for the application of cosmetics. Otherwise, makeup can only emphasize unwanted folds, swelling, wrinkles around the eyes. If you notice that your eyes are red, "bags" or "circles" are visible under them, call for an ambulance. These are creams and masks that relieve swelling, compresses, eye drops to relieve redness. Blue under the eyes and age spots will be successfully hidden by correctors. Makeup artists usually cover the eyelids with a base for eye makeup - this will help the shadows to lay down more evenly.

The choice of colors and shadows depends on the shade of your brown eyes. For light brown eyes, brown, emerald and golden colors are recommended. Shadows of too bright colors are contraindicated, they will immediately divert attention to themselves, and our goal is to emphasize not makeup, but natural beauty. When applying shadows, be guided by the rule: a darker shade - on the movable eyelid, a lighter shade - on the lower one. If you are using multiple colors, be sure to blend the color transitions well.

Owners of honey eyes are advised to opt for shades of champagne, bronze, light purple tones. Although the black color of pencils and eyeliners is considered classic, it is not recommended to use it for any shades of light brown female eyes. When performing make-up, it is better to give preference to brown eyeliners.

The enchanting velvety appearance of medium brown eyes is accentuated by shadows and eyeliners in bronze, copper, green and purple tones. Any gray colors are definitely contraindicated, including colored shadows with a steel and silver sheen. They will be discordant with your natural color scheme.

Fashionistas with dark brown eyes are also suitable bronze, purple, green, brown colors. But they are allowed to use shades that are darker and more saturated. It is even permissible to use black eyeliner, but exclusively with dark shadows.

When choosing shadows for make-up, it is worth taking into account the color of your hair. Makeup artists advise brown-eyed blonde women to use softer and quieter tones - pink, shades of sand and green.

Dark-eyed brunettes can choose colors that are more saturated and catchy - golden, bright lilac, hot pink.

An important point! Although the brown range is traditionally recommended for brown-eyed beauties, there is still an exception. These are orange and terracotta colors and should definitely be avoided. The rest of the shades of brown, of course, will only emphasize the beauty of delightful female eyes.

Now a few words about the eyeliner. Of course, it helps to make the eyes more expressive. And it is also the main tool for creating makeup in a fashionable oriental style, which is very suitable for brown-eyed seducers. The basic rules for using eyeliner are as follows: it is applied as close to the eyelashes as possible, and the line on the lower eyelid should be as thin as possible. When performing "oriental" make-up, make a line along the upper eyelid noticeably widening to the outer corner of the eye. This will give your brown eyes an almond-shaped shape and a more expressive look.

When choosing an eyeliner color, be guided by the color of the eyeshadow you are going to use. And it is not necessary to be limited to classic black and brown tones. Why not allow yourself a more daring experiment? Purple eyeliner is a great option when creating makeup in pink tones. Lilac - goes well with brown shadows. Experiment!

The next important component of eye makeup is mascara. Sometimes you can hear the opinion that the owners of brown eyes have eyelashes that are naturally dark enough, so there is no need to tint them. As a rule, it is - dark-eyed women with light eyelashes are rare. But mascara is used not only for coloring. If nature has not given you luxurious "fans", mascara will help add volume and length to your eyelashes. Brown-eyed women are advised to choose black mascara (not gray or brown). A little tip: to give the lashes even more volume, first powder them a little.

If you like bold and bright colors, try adding colors with blue, green, turquoise mascara. These colors are perfect for your brown eyes.

And finally, the procedure for performing makeup.

  1. The first step is to emphasize the contour of the eyes with eyeliner or pencil. Draw the line as close as possible to the roots of the eyelashes.
  2. The second step is to apply shadows. As mentioned above, makeup artists, when working with brown-eyed women, must take into account the shade of the eyes and the color of the hair. And no matter what color variant of brown eyes makeup is chosen, it is not recommended to use more than two colors. We paint the inner corners of the eyelids with lighter shades, and the outer corners with darker ones. The application of shadows is completed by their shading - we make the transition between colors as natural as possible.
  3. The third step is applying mascara. The main rule here is moderation. Excessive mascara makes makeup look unnatural and rough. If you are applying two coats of mascara, wait until the first is dry, otherwise the mascara may clump or stick together your lashes.

Evening option

Evening makeup for brown eyes can be catchy and extravagant. It allows you to use a bright color palette and combine three to four colors at the same time. If you find it difficult to choose a combination of colors, buy eye shadow palettes in which several shades are presented at once. They are always selected so that they will be combined in any combination.

Basic steps for evening makeup:

  1. No matter how many shades you choose, one of them should be the main one. Determine which one. It will need to be applied to the moving part of the eyelid.
  2. Next, take a color one shade darker than the main one and apply it along the crease of the upper eyelid.
  3. Apply the rest of your chosen colors. Here the rule is: lighter shades - on the inner corners of the eyelids, darker - on the outer. Blend the transitions thoroughly.
  4. Add bold touches with contrasting colors to enhance your makeup. For narrow eyes, it is recommended to do such strokes on the inner eyelid, for large eyes - on the outer.
  5. Now you can start the eyeliner. For evening make-up, it is better to take a black pencil.
  6. The main thing is not to overdo it with brightness. And remember about color matching so as not to cross the line between extravagance and tastelessness.

Day option

The daytime make-up, as you know, should be lighter and more restrained than the evening one. Moreover, women with brown eyes do not need to make special efforts to make their eyes expressive, nature itself took care of this. So make-up for every day will require a minimum of cosmetics.


If you are a brown-eyed blonde, you can use any pastel shades in your daytime makeup. A light lilac color is especially recommended.

If it is recommended to make a bright eyeliner in the makeup for the evening, then in daylight it is inappropriate - clearly outlined contours will look rough. Can't imagine makeup without eyeliner? Make it with shadows - the lines will be softer and more natural.

  1. The first step is to apply a foundation on the face and, if necessary, mask the “problem areas” with corrective agents. Smooth skin and a healthy complexion are the key to beautiful makeup.
  2. As a rule, blonde girls have naturally light eyebrows. If this is your case, don't forget to touch up the eyebrows. This will make their shape clearer and their look more expressive.
  3. For fair-haired women, shades of light, pastel colors are recommended. But even here it is necessary to observe the measure. If the upper eyelids are painted a very light color, the face will look tired. Care must be taken with pearlescent shadows. They can create a puffy eyelid effect.
  4. With an eyeliner or pencil, draw a thin line along the upper eyelid, gradually thickening it towards the outer corners of the eyes. By the way, black eyeliner is recommended for blondes. Brown is "contraindicated" - the eyes will appear sore. Although brown tones are generally welcome in brown eye makeup, this point is an exception.
  5. Draw in the lower eyelids and be sure to blend the line. Tip: if you want to visually enlarge your eyes, draw a line from the outer corner to the inner corner.
  6. Now apply shadows. It is better to combine several shades of the same color in your makeup. Blend the color transitions carefully.
  7. To make the look more open, apply some pearlescent shadows under the brows, along their contour. And finally, the final stage is mascara. As with the eyeliner, “your” mascara color is black.

Makeup for brown eyes brunettes

In brunette girls, the hair color usually contrasts sharply with the skin, which in itself creates a certain effect. This is especially true for those with pale skin and black hair (remember Snow White).
