Eye makeup (eyeliner, eyeshadow, kajal and mascara) is arguably
the most fun type of makeup. With a quick sweep of a
sponge tipped applicator or cute little brush,
you can go from girl next door innocent to positively trampy.
Here’s a handy little chart to help you figure out what
colors would best suit your eye color. After applying the
makeup base, follow these easy steps to get a
gorgeous brown eye makeup.
Eye Shadow for Brown Eyes:
Choosing Eye Makeup for Brown Eyes for brown eyes can be
somewhat complicated. Why? Because unlike other eye colors,
a brown eyed woman has a huge array of hues that are going to
look good when she applies them. Literally every color of the
rainbow holds potential along with all those wonderful mineral tones.
About the only limit you’ve got is your skin tone and working with that.
Eyeshadow Colors for Brown Eyes:
1. Shades of Blue
2. Blue Gray
3. Plum
Eye Makeup Tricks for Brown Eyes:
1. Draw a straight line with a black kohl on the upper lid, to
make eyes stay out.
2. It’s an evening make-up, so you have to mark the
lower lid too.
3. After you stumped the contour with a cotton bud, apply some
violet eyeshadow on the stumped black kohl ( you can use any
color you want, like strong green, blue, orange to get a nice summer look).
Then fill the upper lid with color.
4. With the help of a thin brush, create a shadow effect by applying a
thin amount all round your eyes, from the inner to the outer
corner of the eye.
5. After the shadow is even, put just under the eyebrows some golden
powder, becasue it’s an evening make-up and you must glow!
6. With a thin brush apply some whiteish, silverish eyeshadow to the
inner corner of the eyes, to brighten up the eyes.
7. Put on two coats of mascara and on the cheecks some
natural nude blush.
8. To this make-up you can match a nude lipstick or a neutral one,
but also some pink or orange lipgloss for volume.
If you have brown eyes, you have lots of makeup options to select:
1. When you apply eye makeup, you should consider one simple rule – light
colors bring out, highlight and make larger while dark colors contour and
minimize. Following this simple rule you could combine dark eyeliner
and light eyeshadows to emphasize your brown eyes with black
eyeliner and mascara and light eyeshadows.
2. To draw attention to your eyes, keep the rest of your makeup
minimal choosing neutral shades of lip and cheek color.
This helps you keep the focus on your eyes.
3. To lighten and open brown eyes and achieve natural eye look,
apply light shades such as champagne, peach, light pink,
taupes and browns.
4. Pink eyeshadow with a darker color in the crease will really
make your eyes brighter.
5. Grey eyeshadow and liners will give you a smokey eye look.
6. Opposite colors brighten each other.
7. Eyeshadow with shimmer will brighten brown eyes.
Natural Colors For Brown Eyes:
The best makeup colors for brown eyes are actually those that are
neutral in color. Try colors in the brown family like taupes and
peaches. I try to somewhat match my colors for a coordinated look.
This is not to say that your shadow should be beige, and your
blush beige, and your lipstick beige. I’m not talking about a
monotone color, just a coordinated one.
How to Apply Mascara for Brown Eyes:
1. Wiggle the wand left to right at the base of lashes. It’s the mascara
placed near the roots not the tips that gives the illusion of length.
2. Pull the wand up and through lashes, wiggling as you go.
The wiggling part is key because it separates lashes.
3. In this final step (which I always skip), close the eye and place the
mascara wand on top of lashes at the base and pull
through to remove any clumps
