Makeup for brunettes with brown eyes: 4 step-by-step video tutorials

Day makeup

For daytime makeup, peach, pink, purple, and light brown shades of eyeshadow are perfect for brunettes. With the help of a radiant texture applied to the moving eyelid, you can make your eyes more open and expressive.

Instructions:

Blend light peach shadows with shimmer along the eyelid, and go through the crease with a fluffy brush with light brown shadows. To complete your eye makeup, coat your eyelashes with mascara.

Complete the look with blush in a “refreshing” shade (the same as what was applied to the eyes), and paint your lips with peach gloss. Blend a light-textured highlighter along the top of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and above your upper lip for a natural-looking makeup look.

Let's look at step-by-step instructions for applying makeup for a brunette with brown eyes

First of all, you need to choose a concealer and foundation for your face. They will help disguise all imperfections and hide fatigue. The consistency of such a product must be gentle and light. It should be quickly absorbed into the skin and not leave any marks on it. To avoid creating the feeling of a mask, you need to distribute it in a thin layer.
Eyebrows require a lot of care, and their correction should be done in advance to avoid irritation. It is better to give them a wide shape. If they are naturally thin, then it doesn’t matter – this can be easily corrected with the help of cosmetics. To do this you will need an oblique brush, a special gel and shadows - light and black. A pencil cannot be used for this procedure. First you need to highlight your natural beauty with black eyeshadow. Then use light ones to lift them, applying them to the lower contour.
Now we can move on to the centuries. As an eyeliner we use a pencil with a soft texture. First of all, we draw an arrow - it is necessary that it starts from the second third of the cut and goes smoothly to the outer corner. With this technique, your gaze will become open. Then we shade this arrow and place the desired shadow color on top. To create winter makeup for a brunette with brown eyes, you need to use cool tones, and for the hot season it is better to use warm shades.
Finally, we pay closer attention to the upper eyelid. Carefully draw a triangle parallel to the resulting arrow. Next, we make a gradient from dark to light. The light palette should be located in the inner corner, and the dark colors in the far corner.
The final step is to paint the eyelashes. You need to choose high-quality mascara with a good volume effect. We paint them with a slant away from the nose, so the eyes will look slanted. So our image is ready.

Makeup in nude style
The appearance of a brunette with brown eyes is very expressive. Therefore, makeup done using the nude technique emphasizes her natural beauty. It is performed using brown and beige tones. Eyelashes must be black and well defined. The result should be a natural look.

To correctly perform makeup using the nude technique, you need to follow several tips:

To make your eyes expressive, you need to apply light brown eyeliner. Moreover, it can be applied both from above and from below.
After application, it must be thoroughly shaded with a brush. This will create a beautiful, faint haze effect.
The color of the lipstick should be slightly different from the lips. And under no circumstances use glitter.
When painting your eyelashes, you don’t need to highlight them too much. One layer will be enough.
To go out to a party, you can add glitter to the upper eyelids or gold eyeshadow.

Arrows and red lips

Eyeliner and red lips are a classic look: this kind of makeup, by the way, is most suitable for brunettes. The arrows in a daytime look should be light, applied with a pencil and slightly shaded, in an evening look they should be more dramatic. Brunettes don’t have to limit themselves: on girls with dark hair, even large winged wings look appropriate and stylish.

Instructions:

To make the arrows as long as possible, use gel eyeliner and apply it with a special thin brush.

Blend beige eyeshadow all over your eyelid to prevent the liner from marking throughout the day, then use your eyeliner brush to create ponytails on both eyes.

Compare symmetry by looking straight ahead in the mirror, then draw lines along the lashes and connect them to the tails. Carefully coat your eyelashes with mascara using curling movements, moving from roots to ends.

Complete the look with red lipstick. For her, put a couple of dots on the top of her cheekbones and blend them: this way you will get a blush that suits her perfectly.

Smokey eyes in bronze tones

A universal makeup option for brunettes, regardless of eye color, is one made in beautiful shades of bronze. They can be either more golden or a little pink or greenish. This truly Hollywood makeup favorably emphasizes the appearance of dark-haired girls and adds sophistication and gloss to the image.

Instructions:

Blend bronze shadows over the entire eyelid, using several shades at once: go lighter at the inner corner of the eye, darker at the outer corner.

Blend brown shadows with a matte texture along the orbital line - this will visually enlarge the eye and give depth to the look. The mucous membrane can be painted over with a dark brown pencil to make the makeup more expressive - this is an excellent technique for an evening out.

Don't forget to paint the mucous membrane on top, and then apply thick mascara to your eyelashes.

Highlight your lips with caramel gloss and blend peach blush on your cheeks. To complete the look, apply a golden highlighter.

Natural shades

Usually they start with a range accessible to everyone, universal for all ages and color types. Beige-brown shadows will help create a discreet makeup, ideal for “every day” use.

The arrow can be made thinner or drawn with a pencil

Typically, makeup artists warn fashionistas against using eyeshadow whose shade is close to the color of the eyes. But you can forget about it! Brown eyes are the only ones that look perfect in a similar color scheme.

You can limit yourself to shadows without using a pencil or eyeliner

The “nude” style is a real find for those who value naturalness. This kind of makeup takes no less time than others, but the effect is amazing!

A little mascara, nude and brown eyeshadow, blush, lip balm - the look is ready!

The only shade to avoid is gray. It can be used as an accent or for shading, but it is not recommended as a main color!

Instead of gray, it is better to use white or milky color

Colored eye makeup

It is difficult to brighten the appearance of girls with dark hair using black smokey eyes and other familiar classic makeup options. But bright shades of shadows are great for brunettes - rich blue, blue, green, purple colors will make the look very festive and fashionable.

Instructions:

Apply a turquoise shadow, such as in the Urban Decay Electric palette, to the entire eyelid, and darken the corners with a blue tint.

Blend the shadow into the crease with a clean fluffy brush until it turns into a soft haze. You can opt for this fashionable version of colored smokey eyes or, if you want to make your makeup more classic, shade brown or purple shadows along the orbital line - these slightly neutralize the richness of your eye makeup and leave a bright accent only on the moving eyelid.

Apply a light tint to your lips so as not to overwhelm your look. Add pink blush to the cheeks, using the remaining product on the brush, go over the sides of the forehead, bridge of the nose, chin and neck. This way the blush will look as natural as possible.

Fashionable winter makeup

Any representative of the fair sex can do incredibly beautiful winter makeup:

Eyebrows will play an important role in makeup; naturalness will be popular in 2021. Eyebrows need to be given a beautiful shape and lightly tinted with shadows or mascara.
Applying red lipstick to your lips will help make you look more sexy. Such lips can become an accent in light makeup or, on the contrary, will be an addition to a heavy smokey version.
Not every girl can easily decide to replace the classic black mascara, but blue will be on trend.
Winter makeup done in one color will be relevant. When creating it, you don’t have to be particularly imaginative; just take one shade and use it as eye shadow, blush and lipstick. The most suitable colors would be pink, peach, coral and even possibly brown.
In the cold season, they often resort to makeup with black eyeliner; you can use completely different options for drawing arrows. This winter, a thick arrow is relevant, which can become a separate element of makeup, or combined with shadows. She is a vivid embodiment of retro style.

Winter makeup with glitter

If you want to capture a bright image, the ideal solution would be winter makeup for a photo shoot containing glitter:

Eyeshadows with glitter or glitter are considered ideal for winter 2020. At the same time, you need to carefully approach the choice of shiny shadows, because bright winter makeup with a lot of glitter is unlikely to be suitable for everyday wear.
For every day, you should choose a not very flashy shiny structure. If desired, such shadows can be combined with other shadows and pencils.
Eyeshadows with glitter are also on trend. When choosing them, you can choose completely different shades.

Winter makeup with silver shadows

Silver eyeshadow is a great way to create creative winter makeup. It will be especially relevant to complement an evening look:

A smokey eye made in shades of precious metals is perfect.

Silver, platinum and gold are ideal options for an evening look. These shadow options can be complemented by bright lipstick or, conversely, nude lip gloss.
When creating shiny winter makeup, you can use liquid shadows that blend evenly.
Silver shadows are a great addition to any down jacket. This variation of an everyday look can be used by bold fashionistas.

Winter nude makeup

Natural winter makeup is becoming incredibly relevant this season:

Nude is a minimum of cosmetics, but a maximum of facial skin care. Cosmetics should be close to natural shades, close to the natural tones of the face.
When creating a stylish nude winter makeup, you need to choose a high-quality moisturizer, a transparent lip balm and a little highlighter.
A brown color palette will perfectly help create natural makeup; for this, bronze shades can be used not only for eye shadow, but also for lips. Brown color is presented in the form of matte and translucent brown shadows. Brown shades are also boldly used for lips, but they should be lighter than in the shadow version.

The best eyeshadow shades for brunettes

When doing daytime makeup in neutral shades, it is quite difficult for brunettes to make a mistake.

For most of them, regardless of hair color, shades of “warm” brown, coffee and café au lait are suitable: these go well with almost any eye color, skin tone and outfit.

Plum, lavender and purple shades of eyeshadow are also suitable for girls with dark hair. But if you plan to make your makeup dramatic, evening, use bolder and more contrasting combinations of shades - blue, green (the color of foliage), gold and burgundy. Smokey eyes in gray tones are worth taking note of brunettes with green and brown eyes.

If you use eyeliner, choose not “pure” shades, but those that will easily create a pastel “haze” on your eyes. Dark brown, charcoal shade and blue are suitable - these will attract attention to the eyes, while the makeup will not be provocative.

Looking for the perfect lipstick? For most brunettes, red is suitable. For girls with darker hair, makeup artists recommend choosing “warm” shades; berry colors, rose gold, plum and wine are also suitable for them. If your hair is light brown, pair it with pink lipstick.

Principles of performing makeup in general terms

The most important thing when creating makeup: you need to choose only one main color palette. Experts advise brunettes with brown eyes to use the least amount of contrasting shades to create a light look.
Do not use yellow powder. It is better if it is beige - it will make the skin look tanned. Peach or pink blush will be closest to brown eyes. But don't forget about your complexion.
According to the recommendations of most makeup artists, when creating an evening look, you cannot focus on two areas of the face at once. So, for example, between lips and eyes it is worth choosing one thing.
