Makeup For Brown Eyes
Makeup for brown eyes may seem tricky to pick out at first. Brown is such a neutral color that it can be like starting with a blank slate; which is a good thing. If you are picking out eye make up for any other color, you have to be careful. Too much green shadow on green eyes can make you look washed out. If you try to use blue liner on blue eyes, you look like you should take a time machine back to the ’80s.
Brown is a free-for-all, which in turn can be overwhelming when trying to narrow down your eye makeup. Below are a few makeup tips for brown eyes that will hopefully help you in your search for the perfect accent colors that will make your brown eyes shine!
- Eye make up for brown eyes that have a red undertone can bring out the depth and richness of the brown. Use deep rich browns and mahogany colors to accent the underlying tones.
- Shades of blue look amazing on brown eyes. You can use a blue liner to lighten up your daytime look instead of the harshness of black.
- For an evening look, go metallic. It can be a brown-eyed girl's best friend. Go more dramatic for a cocktail dinner by using gold-tone metallic.
- Green makeup ideas for brown eyes are limitless. Green can be good for a day or evening look. Green looks so vibrant on brown eyes. It can emphasize even the smallest flecks of green in the eyes.
- Purple is another great eye make up for brown eyes at any time of the day. You can choose a matte purple for the day and a shimmery version for an evening look.
- If you want a dramatic look, without going too dark, try a brown smokey eye instead of black. Try a pop of gold in the inner corners for a bit of light that really makes the eyes stand out.
