Eye Makeup Tutorials For Brown Eyes

Since there are various shades even in brown, let’s get into the nitty gritty details for the different shades.

Eye Makeup For Dark Brown Eyes

1. Plum Eyeshadow

Plum shades complement dark brown eyes so well. They have a very earthy feel and look absolutely beautiful during the autumn. I can imagine pairing this with a lovely mustard colored sweater with some jeans and boots.

2. Dark Green Eyeshadow

Dark green is such a pretty color, and it looks gorgeous on those with dark brown eyes. It looks incredibly enchanting. It would look great in matte or shimmer. If you’re going out during the  day, a matte option would be better. If it’s for a party at night, don’t be afraid to reach out for the shimmer!

3. Gray Eyeshadow

Gray, a softer option for black. I have dark brown eyes, and I can tell from personal experience that when I’m reaching for a dark yet subtle look, gray is the way to go. Add in a winged liner, and it’ll totally complete your look. For a little more detailing, you can add a line of silver glitter under the wing.

Black and gold go so well hand in hand! The gold eyeshadow is a beautiful contrast to the darkness of the black. The reason why gold works so well on brown eyes is that the pigments help to bring out the tiny flecks of gold that are present in brown eyes.

Taupe is basically a gray toned shade with purple undertones. This is a cool toned color that looks incredibly lovely if you have light brown eyes.

If you’re all about that casual, then just apply mascara and line the lower lash line.

Makeup Tips For Brown Eyes

1. Metallic Shades

As I already said, people with brown eyes are lucky, since almost all shades work for them ─ but metallic shades are worth a special mention here. This particular shade helps the eye pop out more. Metallic tones, such as brown, gold, bronze and even pinks would make your brown eyes stand out. Such shades draw attention to your eyes and help them look better. These metallic shades are often used to create bold looks.

Who would’ve thought that we’d use white eye pencil? Many people don’t believe that white liners could make eyes look more attractive. White liners along with metallic shades can really bring out the real beauty of brown eyes. It gives you the illusion of bigger eyes which helps the brown color stand out.

3. Concealing Your Dark Circles

Blush creates a big difference in your face. People with brown eyes have a large range of blush colors to choose from. The trick here is not to go overboard. You just want to dust some blush to the apples of your cheeks for healthy glow.

To get a different look, try applying dark colored liners on your upper lid and apply lighter ones on the lower eyelid. Is black or brown eyeliner better for brown eyes?
