How to Apply Eyeshadow for Brown Eyes
Intro:
Brown is the most common eye color in the world. If you have brown eyes, you don't need to feel that they are 'boring' or 'uninteresting.' In fact, brown eye color is a great advantage because this shade of eye color lends itself to eye makeup very well. To draw attention to the rich, deep brown hue of your eyes, you can use a good number of shades with your eye makeup. Below are some point to help you out.
Starting Point:
Remember to use a good quality primer over the entire eye area. Make sure that you cover any dark circles or puffiness underneath the eye before moving on to your foundation and loose or pressed powder. To highlight your brow, use a peach, white, beige or champagne eye shadow and cover the brow bone to lash line area evenly. When you finish with that, your entire eyelid should have a blemish free even tome that serves as the base for your final eyeshadow application. A light shade is used first to ensure that your brown eyes get the attention they deserve.
Suitable Eye Shadow Colors for Brown Eyes:
Brown eyes are very versatile and they look great with nearly every shade of eye shadow. However, some shades make them look particularly glamorous. if you like metallic shades, then you can pick up a copper, gold or bronze shade to give your eyes a mesmerizing look while highlighting the deep richness of your brown irises. Browns are also great choices and they add to the depth of your brown eyes, drawing attention to them instantly. Do remember that if you use brown, then the color of the eye shadow should be a bit lighter than your dark brown eye color and vice versa. If you have light brown eyes then you can use a darker brown eye shadow. This will make your eyes stand out even more. Pinks help the brown eyes stand out without appearing flashy. If you are opting for an understates look, then neutral color choices are a good option. Among these, pick up brown, peach or taupe to subtly highlight the eyes without making the eye makeup very evident. These eye shadow shades are perfect when you are getting ready for a business meeting where you do not want your makeup to be very obvious. To go a step further and opt for the dramatic look, select blue, brown, gold, vanilla, gray, black, violet, nutmeg or purple. Pick the deeper hues of these colors to outline your brown eyes perfectly. One of the biggest advantages of having brown eyes is that you can pull off the dramatic look just as well as you can carry away the subtle one. This makes it easy for brown eyed beauties to match their eye makeup to their outfit or mood. A smokey eye also looks very nice with brown eyes.
Unsuitable Eye Shadow Colors for Brown Eyes:
While brown eyes do go well with about almost every shade of eye shadow, there are a few that should be avoided. To begin with, remember to pick the three shades (base color, eye lid color, highlight color) from the same family color. Blues let your brown eyes stand out but only when they are deep shades or have a gray undertone. Bright blues are the best avoided. The same is true about pink. Choose a pink shade with brown or gold undertones to light up your brown irises. Bright pink is simply not good option for you. Flat brown shades are not a good idea for women with brown eyes. These make the eyes recede. If your eye makeup is appearing too dark, adding a bit of shimmer is usually a great solution. Matte shades that are very similar to your eye color are also not the best choice. They can appear with a dull look. While highlight shades that match the flecks in your iris have a dramatic effect, choosing the wrong shade here can be a disaster. Deep black should be substituted with charcoal or blue0gray whether you are using the shade with your highlighter or your eye pencil. The lighter shade accentuates the golden glow of your brown irises and keeps your overall eye makeup from appearing too dark.
General Tips for Brown Eye Makeup:
Applying a highlighting color over the the entire eye area. Sweep the chosen eye shadow either on the eyelid or in the crease of the eye. Use a darker shadow to line the eyes to make them look bigger. Otherwise, you can simply use an eyeliner pencil/gel eyeliner to draw a fine line close to your lash lines. If an eyeliner pencil is your choice, then pick up golden browns, bronze, deep blue, dark gray or different shades of brown. Charcoal black liners are usually applied slightly thicker then usual to make your brown irises appear lighter and translucent. Metallics and lighter shades make your eye color richer and deeper. Use a primer, foundation and powder before you do your eyelid makeup to ensure that the color stays on all day. The biggest problem with eye makeup is smudging and the primer ensures that this does not happen. Pat the primer gently onto the eyelids before you apply the base color. White eyeliners that are applied to the waterline makes your eye appear more open and bigger as well. A dot of shimmer to the inner corner of your eyes makes your beautiful brown eyes really pop!
