Makeup for brown eyes
Brown eyes are an absolute dominant, so there will always be a lot of people with this color of the iris. This means that there will be many questions about which makeup is most suitable and which shades are best to choose.
Features and Benefits
Brown eyes should be proud and emphasize them, and not hide them under colored lenses. Here are some benefits:
- It should be noted that brown eyes are perhaps the most versatile in terms of color selection. Red, yellow, green, blue - any makeup can look great on chocolate-colored eyes.
- A brown shade always looks advantageous with any hair color. Just imagine a dark-eyed blonde, she is full of charm and mystery. And take a red-haired girl with brown eyes that look like tea tree leaves - a real forest nymph! Light brown hair also looks beautiful and very natural against the background of two bottomless dark wells. And imagine how aristocratic a brown-haired woman with dark eyes will look. Her face, like an expensive painting, will be framed by a mop of hair, giving a facet to the deep sparkle of her eyes.
- Under brown eyes it is easy to pick up an outfit. Blue denim is so popular right now, and it goes so well with brown skin tones and eyes.Or imagine how elegant a blue dress will look on a tanned body, which is crowned with strong-willed, full of life brown eyes. It is impossible to pass by such a woman, men will at least ask to take a photo, and as a maximum, they will offer a hand and heart.
Now that you no longer doubt that brown eyes are incredibly beautiful, you can move on to specific types of makeup to only slightly emphasize what is already there from nature.
Types of makeup for brown eyes
- A casual look means you won't be wearing a million layers of makeup. Makeup for going to work - very natural, thin, almost imperceptible. For starters, you can use classic nude shades.
As a rule, in addition to matte light pink, a slightly darker shimmer shade and white, there is one more color in palettes. Well, if it is golden, then it will be very easy for you to create a light, but at the same time noticeable make-up for every day.
On the upper movable eyelid, you can apply a light pink shade, the corner of the eye must be carefully decorated with a drop of white shadows. Under the eyes, you can throw a shadow created using the darkest color in the palette. On the place where the eyeball is located, carefully “drop” strokes of gold. If at the same time you draw the line of the eye with a white pencil, it will be impossible to tear yourself away from your eyes.
Moreover, such a fairly soft make-up can be easily converted into an evening one - simply by changing the tone of lipstick. Go plum lips or go for a classic cool red shade and you can go on a date or a reception with the queen, wherever you like.
- If you have dark skin, just two colors will be enough for an expressive look - gold and chocolate brown.. Leave the chocolate under your eyes and use a brush to draw a light arrow with shadows, and sprinkle the upper eyelid with gold, like flower pollen. With a tan, this makeup looks amazing, “expensive” and soft at the same time. It doesn't require much skill.
- If your skin is pale enough, you can completely abandon the shadows. Simply use eyeliner to draw a neat winged line, apply mascara to your lashes, brown your cheeks a little, and apply juicy berry or mouth-watering reds to your lips. This image is an ageless and win-win classic. She does not look pretentious and is quite suitable as a make-up for every day.
- Gold applied under the eyes and combined with a matte pink tint on the upper eyelid can look very gentle. To soften an already nude look, use brown instead of black mascara. If you want to complicate the look a bit, use gray or turquoise gray eyeliner.
- Makeup looks very beautiful, where the upper eyelid is painted with a gradient from silver to gold. Stretch the cold shade from the center and crown it with golden colors. The main task is to make the transition smooth, without a clear boundary. Add some mascara and the easy summer look is complete.
- The transition from pale pink to smoky gray looks very interesting. If you wish, you can make this makeup a little more strict by adding arrows to the image. They always attract attention.
- Sometimes a regular eyeshadow base can be enough for daytime makeup. If your face has a very even tone, and your eyelashes are lightly dressed in mascara (black or brown), this look can become very businesslike.Bright lips will make it more interesting, and nude matte lipstick shades will make it even more strict, depending on the situation.
As you can see, daily makeup can be very diverse, but holidays and going out happen in our lives, so the types of makeup for brown eyes need to be considered for evening occasions. The following options are worth considering:
- Most of all people with brown eyes, of course, are in eastern countries, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that Arabic makeup with eyes lined with black on all sides does not cease to be relevant. If the event and mood allow you to plunge into an Arabian fairy tale - go for it. The main secret of an expressive look is the application of a black pencil along the inner line of the eye (both above and below). Additional depth can be given with a long black arrow on the upper eyelid and a dark well-blended color on the lower.
- For those who are not ready for such an aggressive make-up with arrows, you can offer a similar option, but changed in a European way. Of course, this is a classic smoky eye. You can choose black as a base or chocolate shades that will make the look softer. If you want to add a twist, you can paint the water line of the eye with a colored pencil - for example, neon pink or blue. It will look very extravagant, but not tasteless.
- If you are already bored with classic colors, try making a make-up in cherry tones or deep red. The main thing is not to go too far with the lips, they should not be dark if your eyes are already outlined by something bright. The emphasis on the face should be one, otherwise the image will turn into a vinaigrette.
- For a birthday or friendly party, you can safely choose bright colors - for example, blue, green, yellow, purple, deep blue, and so on. To make the festive make up really bright, apply a special base before using the shadows. If there is no separate eye product at hand, try a regular primer. It will help smooth fine wrinkles and enhance the pigment contained in the shadows themselves, making the color even and lasting.
- Don't be afraid to mix different colors. Try sophisticated purples, yellows, and pinks, or go wild with silver, indigo, and black. Make a mix of yellow and green, dilute this palette with bronze or silver. There are very, very many variations on this theme - like gold in a fairy-tale dragon.
- If you can boast even skin with a minimum of imperfections, blow everyone away with a dark and mysterious look created with minimal effort. The main task is to make the complexion even, with a cold tint. Apply a matte black color to your eyes, impenetrable, like a southern night. Wrap your eyes with a bunch of false lashes for a fluffy look, and apply lipstick in a very dark wine color to your lips. So you get a simple but fatal look that will be remembered for a long time.
As you can see, there are many options available for brown and black eyes. Nude or shimmer, color or monochrome - it's up to you. If you need an example for inspiration, look at the stars and their makeup. Remember the beautiful Sophia Loren to imbue with expensive classics, the eccentric Shakira to give the image a little rock and audacity, the charming Lily Collins if you want to add tenderness to your life. Look at the famous brown-haired women - the Kardashian family.That's someone who had so many images that your life is not enough to repeat them all.
When the color scheme is selected, and the image has already taken shape in your head, it's time to choose the means.
How to choose cosmetics?
The fact that you are the owner of brown, dark brown or green-brown eyes is an axiom. In the search for decorative cosmetics, it is further worth starting off not from colors, but from the shape and fit of the eyes. Girls usually have to contend with the following main problems:
- Too small eyes.
- Deep-set eyes.
- Wide-set eyes.
- Too close-set eyes.
It is worth choosing the right means, focusing on these four problems. So, it is recommended to consider the following:
- To make “bottomless saucers” out of small eyes, you can go for a few tricks - for example, experiment with the shape of the eyebrows. To do this, you do not even need to buy anything, just free up as much space above the eye as you can afford (depending on the thickness of the hairline).
Another trick is a white pencil applied to the water line from above and below.
As for the choice of shadows, dark colors will almost certainly be contraindicated. Light soft shades open the eye, make it visually wider. It should also be borne in mind that concealer will help open your eyes a little, so do not neglect it.
- The problem of deep-set eyes can be solved with the help of skillfully applied shadows. Be sure to purchase a base that will even out the tone and simplify the application process. If the base is not at hand, use powder. As the main tone, you will need the lightest shades that will need to be shaded along the entire length of the upper eyelid.Use dark colors almost pointwise - for example, adding them to the corner of the eye or bringing the lower eyelid with such a cosmetic product.
If you are going to use mascara and eyeliner, remember that the line should be very thin. Bold arrows will turn the eastern gaze into the eyes of a Chinese, and not the most beautiful.
- If the eyes are set wide, then the main secret lies in the fact that you need to emphasize the inner corner of the eye. Darker shades can be applied to the inside, stretching the color towards the center. You can also use mascara in two layers, and you need to paint the eyelashes with movements towards the nose.
Another secret is more emphasis on the eyebrows. Make the eyebrow longer on the inside (using a pencil and a brush), and you will see that visually the distance between the eyes will become a little less.
- If the eyes are too close to each other, an eyeliner pencil will become your faithful assistant. You will need to draw a thin line along the contour of the eye, with a gradual thickening towards the edge of the eye. Do not forget to blend the outline, otherwise it will look too clumsy. Make out the inner and middle part of the eye with light shadows, and save dark palettes for the area of \u200b\u200bthe eyelids close to the temples.
How to apply correctly?
Remember this very simple step-by-step instruction and take it into service:
- 50% of your makeup success will depend on skin preparation. First, cleanse your face. Now the most popular and effective way can be called micellar water, but no one has canceled regular water or tonic for washing. Act on your own taste - the main thing is that the face is fresh, free from excess fat and dirt.
- Don't forget to moisturize your skin. Apply your favorite cream.Make a mask if time permits, or use patches. You can do almost anything you want - as long as your skin is "full". Let the nutrients soak in - and only then begin to act.
- Apply concealer. Perhaps you are using a colored concealer, apply a primer to smooth out wrinkles... Do all the necessary preparatory steps before it's time for the foundation.
- Applying the base, gently blend it all over the face. If you use sponges for driving in, then do it also carefully. Remember to grab the neck and ears a little so that the face doesn't look too different from the rest of the skin.
- Apply an oil-removing powder and add blush. For dark skin, you can additionally use bronzers, but for owners of blond hair and fair skin, light coral blush is enough.
- To achieve the effect of large eyes, the triangular area under the eye can be emphasized using makeup techniques such as baking.. To do this, you need white loose powder, as well as a wide flat brush. Apply powder under the eyes with light but sure strokes. Then use loose highlighter. This will help to “illuminate” the eye and give it additional visual volume.
- The next step is to work with the eyebrows.. Comb, color and shape. Use pencils, shadows, wax - everything will do, if only to achieve a fashionable effect of thick and very well-defined eyebrows.
- We are heading to the finish line - we take on eye makeup. Above, you have already received a lot of detailed recommendations on working with shadows and direct tips for action. The only thing that hasn't been said yet is that after finishing the color work, you will need to carefully remove the excess shadows if they crumble.
- The last step is highlighting the cheekbones and applying lipstick on the lips. If you are skilled with brushes and know very well what contouring is, feel free to put your knowledge into practice. When all the lines are drawn, only your mouth remains to be drawn, do not forget that the emphasis should be on one thing. Either on the eyes or on the lips. If your makeup was very delicate before, a little bright lipstick shades will bring freshness and life. If the previous paints were saturated, you should not darken all areas of the face.
The only option when dark shadows can be in harmony with dark lipstick is light brown eyes, which will burn with a bright spot, relegating the rest of the makeup to the background.
Proceed in stages, do not jump from the base to the eyebrows and from the eyes to the lips. Step-by-step application exists for a reason. By sticking to the plan, you will save yourself from possible mistakes.
Secrets of makeup artists
- An easy way to relieve fatigue from the eyes and make the look fabulous is to use shimmery shadows. The main thing is that they match the tone of your main makeup.
- Try to guess what shade of eyeliner prevails on brown-eyed celebrities. Don't languish, the answer is purple. All sorts of shades of plum or even light lilac perfectly emphasize the natural beauty of the eyes.
- Love metallic colors. Bronze, gold, silver are your best companions. If these three colors are in your palette, you can just throw out the rest, the metal goes so well with brown eyes.
- Don't be afraid to use colored ink. Brown eyes look great with turquoise, purple or even pink lashes. Of course, such makeup is not suitable for every day, but sometimes a variety does not hurt.
- Of course, the main secret of eye beauty is rest. No matter how you mask fatigue with cosmetics, red veins will treacherously betray you as a workaholic or an avid party-goer. Healthy sleep or eye drops (as a last resort) will help maintain the natural charm.
If there is not enough time for a good rest, do not forget about elementary exercises. Take care of your main tool of seduction, because not everything can be smoothed out with cosmetics.
Now that you have an extensive arsenal and know detailed instructions for action, your makeup should be flawless. The only thing left is to learn how to turn the ideas that have arisen in your head into reality and try not to be afraid to go beyond. Immerse yourself in the magical world of pink, yellow, red, green colors and start creating.
The main thing is that makeup is easily washed off, so you have no reason against new interesting experiments. Only a million different pros.
