Any modern woman knows perfectly well that the selection of cosmetics to create an image depends on her natural characteristics. Naturally, cosmetics for a brunette’s face are significantly different from cosmetics for blondes or red-haired beauties.

In addition, the choice of cosmetics differs depending on eye color and skin tone. To highlight your advantages, you should very carefully select the color scheme that suits you.

The choice of eyeshadow depends on the color of the girl’s eyes.

So you shouldn’t listen to the popular belief that only very rich makeup can suit brunettes; in fact, the selected color scheme for brunette makeup should be completely compatible with the eye color and skin tone.

Tone and base

It is important to choose the right foundation depending on the brunette’s skin tone and eyes.

It is necessary to begin work with the process of preliminary cleaning of the skin. Then a light moisturizer is applied, which serves as a base for the main makeup. (See also the article Stimulating hair growth: features.)

And only after the preparation process has been completed, you can begin to apply foundation and powder. But these components must be selected individually, it all depends on the brunette’s eye color, skin tone and the intensity of her hair color.

A small instruction - advice on choosing foundation and powder for brunettes in the form of a table:

Color type	Recommendations
For black hair, dark gray and brown eyes	Cosmetics in ocher, tobacco or natural tan colors are suitable, and blush can be used in bright and rich colors; dark peach, coral or reddish-pink shades of blush are considered ideal.
For dark brown hair, brown and green eyes	Powder and foundation in peach shades are suitable; for an evening out, the tone can be chosen a little darker, and blush can be chosen in brownish shades, but do not forget to shade it well on the cheekbones.
For light brown hair and dark eyes	Flesh tones of the foundation are required, and the blush is chosen in pinkish shades, sometimes you can experiment a little with the dark nutty tone of the blush, but be very careful.
For bright brunettes with dark skin and eyes, this also applies to gray eyes if they are dark	For makeup, foundation is suitable, as well as tobacco or dark yellow powder, and blush in rich shades of dark peach or coral color.

Important. A brunette's makeup should be based primarily on the shade of her skin tone. This means that if the skin is too light, powder and cream should not make the skin paler. The same goes for too dark skin. Makeup should not spoil the image, making it inappropriate for your skin type and tone.

Daytime makeup for brunettes

Everyone knows that everyday makeup requires different shades than holiday makeup. Under sunlight, shades look different than under artificial light. All errors and shortcomings become immediately noticeable. Few people will like it.

For this reason, it is important for brunettes to choose cosmetics in natural shades for daily makeup. There are enough shadows for the eyes; eyeliner is not recommended. It is better to create an image from halftones than to add dissonance to your appearance.

Daily makeup requires the use of natural tones. In bright sunlight, rich lipstick and shadows look vulgar.

To enhance the beauty of your eyes during the day, light shades of shadow, brown eyeliner and dark mascara are enough. But it is in daylight that all skin imperfections are noticeable. They need to be eliminated with foundation, blush and powder. The right choice is important here. These products should be matched to your skin tone as closely as possible. For lips, you should choose a lipstick in a pastel color. The same applies to the circuit. Remember that even transparent gloss during the day gives your lips an attractive look.

Eyes

Blue shadows are perfect for a hot brunette with blue eyes.

In the table, we will look at what means hot brunettes should use to emphasize the expressiveness of their eyes:

Eye color	Adviсe
Brown	We choose mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow in very rich colors, preferably in brown tones.
Dark (black)	We shade them with purple or silver shadows.
Greens	An excellent frame for such eyes would be shadows in a brown color scheme.
For light gray and blue eyes	Shadows in calm brown shades are suitable, and towards the inner corner they can slightly turn into gray.
Dark gray	Dull shades of gray and blue are suitable, and mascara and eyeliner are best done in dark brown colors

The best makeup for blue eyes and dark hair can be achieved by combining black eyeliner, which makes the look especially attractive with blue or dark blue shadows.

Eye Makeup Tips

The photo shows an eye makeup option for a brunette with blue eyes.

Before you start adding expressiveness to your eyes with your own hands, you need to prepare the entire kit that you may need for use:

pencil , most often used black, gray or brown, with its help you can give the eyes the desired shape;
shadows , matte and pearlescent sets are usually used;
mascara , usually black;
false eyelashes , if you use them.

Advice. If you need to slightly correct the appearance of close-set eyes, it is advisable to highlight the inner corner of the upper eyelid and eye. This can be done by applying pearlescent shadows, which must be shaded in the direction of the bridge of the nose. And on the outer half of the upper eyelid shadows of darker tones are applied.

Lips

To make your lips shine, you need to apply a little gloss to the central part of them.

An important point in creating a brunette look is lip coloring. You should not skimp on choosing lipstick; try to choose high-quality cosmetics from well-known manufacturers. A low price is not a guarantee of quality, but using counterfeits can be harmful to your health. (See also the article Messy hair bun: how to make it.)

In addition to lipstick, you will need a contour pencil. Its color is selected one tone darker than the lipstick tone.

For hot brunettes with dark eyes, a bright pink or ruby lipstick is suitable. For festive makeup, you can choose a lipstick of a more saturated red color, or with a raspberry tint.

For those with green or brown eyes, coral or dark pink lipstick is suitable for daytime makeup and ruby or brown-red for evening wear.

Through trial and experimentation, the best option for you is determined.

Wedding make-up

A wedding is an important day for any person. Brunettes are naturally gifted with striking appearance. In wedding makeup, it is important not to use too much makeup. This requires careful selection of funds, because then you will look at the photo many times.

All you need is to hide imperfections and show natural beauty. Excessive use of saturated color products will give a dark-haired girl an unsightly look and visually age her. No bride needs this.

Shadows should be selected to match the shade of the dress, jewelry or bouquet. Opt for shades of chocolate and coffee. This range is not tied to any color, but will emphasize the shape and color of the eyes. The blush comes in a light shade of rose. This gives the face naturalness and liveliness.

Each type of make-up has its own nuances. Evening, wedding, everyday - there are separate rules everywhere.

Light-colored lipstick is not suitable for dark-haired beauties. An overly pale tone “eats” the lips against the background of the rich color of the curls. A suitable choice is burgundy, red or crimson. To create volume, outline and add shine. Foundation, corrector and powder will help eliminate minor irritations and skin imperfections.

Summary

For the fair half of humanity, makeup is the key to attractiveness and even success. It is correctly applied cosmetics that help hide imperfections and highlight the advantages of your appearance.
