Who suits?
Despite the versatility of brown, do not forget that not every shade is suitable for every eye and skin color. To avoid mistakes when creating the perfect makeup, we recommend that you pay attention to the following recommendations for choosing the right shade.
- On girls with blue eyes, brown shadows look truly excellent. Shades of cocoa, coffee options of different intensities, bronze and gold are perfect for them. The texture of the shadows can be very different, here you can give preference to both matte and shimmer options. Small accents of glitter can be placed using gold pigments. With brick shades and with the addition of red, it is best to be careful, they can make the look tired and even add a few years to age.
- Green-eyed ladies also look great in a variety of shades of brown. So, for example, if you have light green eyes, then give preference to bronze options. Dark greens can be highlighted with nudes, beiges, and contrasting shades of brown. An excellent solution would be to use a green-brown combination of shadows.
- For girls with gray eyes, makeup artists recommend being very careful with shades of brown shades. But if you still decide on such a brave step, then it is best to choose light and unobtrusive shades, for example, mocha, milky, creamy, creamy and delicate coffee. Ladies with gray eyes are best to make the most natural make-up using a light brown palette.
- Brown eyes can be most favorably emphasized with brown shadows. Ladies with dark eyes can choose shades of brown of very different intensities. Different makeup artists have different opinions on this matter. Some believe that you should not choose shadows of the same shade as the eyes, while others, on the contrary, say that shadows that match the eyes look perfect. In this case, we recommend doing a few test makeups and deciding which shade suits you best.
- Owners of deep black eyes are better off abandoning brown shades with green tints or a hint of olive. Such colors are unlikely to look advantageous and most likely they will make the look rough and heavy. It is better to pay attention to taupe, pinkish or nude options.
Varieties
Most often, you can not use one universal make-up day and night, there are always differences in them. And the intensity of colors plays a big role. During the day we use moderate shades, and in the evening - more saturated ones.
- Day makeup. Many representatives of the fair sex cannot imagine their everyday looks without a delicate "smoky ice", made in soft brown tones. Milky shades, beige-brown, caramel and delicate coffee shades are used.It is very important to pay attention to the ideal tone of the face in such a make-up, so do not purchase foundation creams a few tones higher than your own, it is better to use bronzing powders for a tanning effect. Brown eye makeup most often does not really like blush of the same color, it is better to give preference to peach options, soft pink or beige. Glitter highlighters will help to complement the face. It is equally important to pay attention to the eyebrows, they must be in perfect shape, as they set the tone for the entire makeup. Lipstick in the daytime make-up should be natural, you can choose satin or matte nude options.
- Evening make up in brown tones allows ladies to experiment a little and make themselves brighter. For any celebration or date in the evening, you can use brighter shades. "Smoky ice" in brown execution is excellent "friends" with coal-black arrows. A golden brown combination of shadows will also be appropriate for an evening make-up. An excellent solution would be to bring the lower inner eyelids with a waterproof black pencil. Eyelashes should be painted over in several layers, you can also glue additional bundles for greater density and volume. If in the evening you applied delicate cream shadows and diluted them with brown, but the makeup turned out to be very natural, it is best to give preference to bright lipstick, it will look very advantageous.

Secrets of makeup artists
To emphasize the depth and expressiveness of the eyes, completely circle them with a black pencil. The inner eyelids should also be emphasized with a black waterproof pencil. If you are doing a delicate make-up with a subtle shade of brown, then summarizing the inner lower eyelids with a white pencil would be an excellent option. Thus, you will get wide-open eyes.
When doing eye makeup with dark shadows or chocolate, it is highly recommended not to use dark lipstick. Focus on either the lips or the eyes.
We recommend paying attention to the star image of Kim Kardashian, who loves to use a brown eyeshadow palette and make expressive long eyelashes. No less interesting are the beautiful images of Jessica Alba, who often chooses a light "smoky eye" in brown.
