Makeup for brown eyes and dark hair

Makeup artists of the whole world go crazy with brown-eyed clients, whose beauty lies in a languid look, and luck lies in the bright appearance of brown-haired women, for whom nature has already created daily makeup. Makeup for brown eyes and dark hair is simple and allows you to use almost the entire range of shades of shadows and mascara, and this is the most important advantage of brunettes.

You can learn makeup from the images of overseas film stars - Jessica Alba, Monica Bellucci, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley, Penelope Cruz and Catherine Zeta Jones. If you look closely at the make-up of each of them, it can be noted that decorative cosmetics emphasize the natural beauty of celebrities, who, in turn, have different shades of hair and eyes.

Dark hair and brown eyes are the basis of a woman's bright and memorable appearance, which does not require the use of a kilogram of "plaster". For young girls, only eyebrow mascara and a couple of drops of blush can be useful for creating everyday makeup, for mature ladies - an additional corrector and lipstick.

What are the advantages of a girl with dark eyes and hair in terms of makeup - let's talk right now:

• A truly attractive and feminine look requires grooming, so makeup artists do not recommend young girls to get involved in decorative cosmetics, only to tidy up the shape of their eyebrows and create an even skin tone - eyelashes and eyebrows of brunettes often have a dark color by nature and do not require additional coloring;
• For swarthy beauties, creating a tone is not a primary task, rather, the last one. They can add a little blush and emphasize the cilia;
• For brown-eyed brunettes of the oriental type, cosmetics with a “winter” character are traditionally prescribed - cold shadows, cold lipstick and “frosty” pink blush, but makeup artists around the world also use a warm palette - all shades of brown from light beige to almost black;
• Brown eyes differ from each other, and this allows you to use a separate color scheme for girls with olive eyes, brown-yellow, dark brown;
• Hair color plays a secondary role in creating makeup, because it is so easy to change it, which you definitely cannot do with your eyes.

Brown-eyed persons are all shades of brown, gray, black, green and purple - if we talk about eye and eyebrow makeup. What to exclude: blue, cyan and red on the eyes.

When choosing shadows, stop on palettes for the color type "winter" with cold shades or choose a brown gamut - brown-eyed brunettes have an amazing appearance and literally “everything suits them”. Avoid blue and blue shadows in the classic technique of applying all over the eyelid - at best they will send you to the 90s, at worst - to the bathroom to the washbasin.

For hazel-green or olive eyes all shades of green (including "dirty" olive) and brown, golden. For classic clean brown eyes (not too dark), peach, hazel, plum, lilac and pink go in addition, so instead of shadows, you can easily use suitable blush and apply them on the eyelid.

"Black eyes perfectly combined with any brown colors of shadows, silver, metallic, calm purple and lilac, and yellowish - with mustard, green, yellow shades that resemble honey in color.

If we talk about eyeliner, then select its shade according to the rules of shadows.

Black and brown pigments remain classics. Give preference to high-quality eyebrow cosmetics: mascara, shadows, lipstick, pencil - choose a shade of the product that is as close as possible to the natural shade of the hair (if they are not dyed at least at the roots).

Mascara - black, brown, green or dark blue. Brown-eyed brunettes are pearlescent shadows, so feel free to “put on” them at any convenient (read evening) occasion. If we talk about brighter "flashy" shades of shadows, then choose yellow, orange, pink, sometimes blue and blue. Do not apply blue and blue shadows to the entire moving eyelid (as our grandmothers did), but make a haze over the crease of the upper eyelid, generously painting over its moving part with black eyeliner.

Any brunette with dark eyes can do without makeup at all - nature has especially taken care of women of oriental appearance and most Russian brown-eyed beauties. Everyday makeup usually consists of creating a tone, shaping the eyebrows and applying mascara plus a lip liner or lip balm.

Makeup for every day is the best way to emphasize natural beauty and not go beyond:

1. Apply a light foundation (winter) or fluid (perfect for summer) on a pre-moisturized face and blend it well.
2. Correct the shape of the eyebrow and comb the hairs up with a brush. If jyb are naturally thick and bushy, it is enough to fix them with a transparent gel, if not, additionally paint over them with a soft pencil or shadows.
3. In eye makeup, it will be enough to make up eyelashes with black or brown mascara. You can apply shadows 2-3 tones lighter than the natural color of the eyes and blend them well.
4. A couple of drops of pink or peach blush - and a light make-up is ready. A gentle image is suitable for both work and going out.

Often, festive makeup requires a large supply of cosmetics and time, but this definitely does not apply to owners of brown eyes and dark hair. To create a bright image, it is enough to make the arrows thicker and apply two layers of mascara instead of one. So, we create makeup for a special occasion:

1. Emphasize the natural shape of the eyebrows with a thin pencil, you can slightly extend its natural line - this will visually expand the eyes.
2. Apply eye primer to the entire moving part and lightly powder. Paint over the mucous membrane of the upper eyelid with a black pencil, draw a V turned on its side on the outer corner and draw a line over the upper eyelid (with a brush with pigment or pencil), which would follow its contour. Blend a dark pencil and apply brown eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eyelid, moving towards the center.
3. Black or dark brown eyeliner will make your eyes bright - draw a rich arrow over the shadows and fix the result with mascara - 2-3 layers will be enough.
4. To make the look festive, you can replace the matte finish of the shadows with a pearlescent one or choose a creamy texture of the shadows - it gives a denser coverage and a rich shade.

Oriental beauty makeup - Another festive option or even everyday. His technique boils down to creating a "cat look" using deep black eyeliner on the upper and lower eyelids. Depending on the shape and size of the eye, the technique varies, but it tends to create an almond shape.

When creating a gentle make-up for light or dark skin, choose shades that are 1-2 tones different from natural ones - the color of the hairs of the eyebrows and hair, the iris of the eyes. In daylight, saturated eyebrows, like eyes in general, are useless, but for the evening, do not be afraid to take shades “stronger” - 2-4 tones darker.

Brown-eyed brunettes especially go with "smoky ice" - a kind of dark haze on dark eyes. The difference between the modern "smoky ice" is the ability to use any shades (except black, as it was before). Do it step by step like this:

1. The basis of the foundations is perfect skin. Use a light foundation + corrector + masking pencil: it is important to hide all local skin imperfections and even out the overall shade.
2. Circle the contour of the upper and lower eyelids with a dark pencil - black, brown, gray, depending on what shade the "smoky ice" will be. Create an almond-shaped eye with a pencil, taking the contour beyond the natural limit.
3. On top of the pencil, apply the darkest shadows from the palette (you know that several shades of shadows from the same palette will come in handy to create a "smoky" look). In the center, apply the main shade - brown, golden, bronze or any other - it will be an accent.
4. With a fluffy brush, blend the shadows, turning the lines into a smooth transition of shades.
5. Emphasize the eyeliner again with a dark pencil or liner - draw a line from approximately the middle of the lower eyelid to the outer corner, gradually making the line wider. Repeat the same with the upper movable.
6. Apply 2-3 coats of mascara, lifting and curling the hairs.
7. If your eyes are large, you can draw a line of kayal with a black pencil.

Nude makeup implies a gentle and natural look in a palette of shades that are as close as possible to flesh and pinkish. You can create "makeup without makeup" like this:

• Moisturize the skin and apply a light tonal fluid;
• Comb your eyebrows with a special brush and fix them with a transparent gel;
• Apply a little pink or peach blush on the apples of your cheeks and upper eyelid - they will give the image freshness;
• On the protruding parts of the face - nose, cheekbones, chin, dimple above the upper lip, apply a little highlighter for freshness;
• Cover your lips with nude lipstick or a simple balm.

• Brown-eyed and dark-haired ladies especially go with oriental makeup. Makeup artists advise using a pigment-rich black eyeliner and applying it directly along the contour of the upper lashes - this will make the look even more languid;
• For any cut and shape of the eyes, use the following technique for applying shadows: in the inner corners - light pigment, on the outer - dark. Start shading the light areas by the middle of the eyelid, as well as the dark ones - towards the center. Exceptions are far-set eyes, then light shadows are superimposed in the outer corners and dark ones in the inner ones.
• If your skin is “cold” porcelain, you are very lucky. Use shades of sea color and fuchsia even on the eyes and combine them with the tone of clothes or accessories.
• Not all makeup artists welcome orange and yellow shades in brunette makeup, just like blue and blue.. If you choose one of these, use a creamy eyeshadow texture and apply on and off the mobile eyelid for an informal doll-like look with false lashes and nude lipstick.

• Use brown mascara separately in everyday life, choose ultra black to go out.
• Brown eye makeup should be done carefully, since all the attention of others will be focused on them and this requires the perfect application of cosmetics and timely adjustments.
• If the eyes are light brown, it makes sense to try the shades of honey or caramel shades. - they are ideally combined and are suitable for both a business look and a festive or evening one.
• Burning brunettes especially suit metallic shades - gold, bronze, silver. For girls with a yellowish hair tone, alas, this trend does not always go.
